Knife To My Heart | SemiShira

Chapter 11

Sunday
Semi was reading the book he had gotten yesterday, curious to why it was Shirabu's favorite. "Eita. I'm gonna- Woah. Is that a book?" Yukari asks seeing Semi reading a book for the first time in a long time. "Uh yea. I heard it was really good and wanted to try it. What were you gonna say?" Yukari smiles, "I was just gonna go shopping, I'm bringing one of the guards so don't worry. How's your new song going?"

Semi smiles as he marks the page he was at and puts the book down. "It's going great. I just need to finish writing up the music sheet for the guitar and I'm adding in a bit of other stuff too." Yukari smiles seeing Semi so excited for his new song. "I'm guessing it's a happy song?" Semi nods, "Yea." She nods her head before checking the time, "Well I'm gonna go now. Behave and don't cause too much trouble!" She says walking out.

"I won't!" Semi yells back, picking up the book again.

Shirabu was in his room all day, reading the first book out of the Lunar Chronicles series. "Her prince sounds nice." He whispers to himself. He continues to read as someone knocks on his door. "Come in." He says, and Taichi walked in. "Hi." "Hey." Taichi looks at the new books on Shirabu's shelf and sighs, "When did you get those?" He asks pointing to the book. Shirabu smiles, "Yesterday! I got the whole series!" Taichi just shakes his head. "Did you need something?" Shirabu asks.

Taichi shakes his head, "Not really. I'm just bored." Shirabu laughs, "Of course. Were you able to find Tenduo-san?" Taichi shakes his head, "No, he uh, moved to the Semi kingdom." Shirabu pauses. "Oh..." Taichi nods, "But hey, I'm doing alright." Shirabu looks at Taichi. "I'll be back in a while. Don't ask, but I'm gonna help. Stay here. If anyone asks, I went for a walk." Shirabu says jumping out his window.

"WHAT?!" Taichi exclaims running to the window to see Shirabu climbing down. "I'll be fine! Bye now!" Shirabu runs towards the river and smiles. "Perfect! Just the guy I wanted to talk to!" He exclaims seeing Semi already by the water. "What the-" "I need help!" Shirabu cuts him off. Semi looks at him with a confused face, "Why should I help you?" "Because it's my friend! He's been looking for his friend for a while and knows that he's in your kingdom. I wanted to help him find him."

Semi looks at Shirabu, "Alright. Do you have a name?" Shirabu nods, "Tendou." Semi's eyes widen, "Tendou? As in Tendou Satori?" Shirabu's eyes widen, "So you do know him!" Semi nods, "Yea. He's my personal guard." Shirabu smiles with excitement. "Can you call him here? Please?" Semi nods with a smile. He walks to his palace and goes to bring Tendou.

Shirabu takes his phone out and texts Taichi to come to the river. When he sent the text Taichi gets there in 5 minutes. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asks. Shirabu nods, "Yes! And~" "I've got him!" Semi exclaims bringing in Tendou. Taichi was about to take his bow out when he saw Tendou, "Ten?"

Tendou looked up and saw Taichi. "Taichi! Oh my god! You've gotten so big!" Tendou jumped over the river and hugged Taichi. The two hug until Taichi breaks it. "How'd you?" Shirabu shrugs, and Semi just smiles. "Thanks. I haven't seen him in so long..." Taichi whispers. "Aw, don't cry. I'm here now. Let me give you my number and then we can stay in contact. Hm?" Taichi nods his head as they exchange numbers.

Shirabu just watch the two interact as they both smile. "They're practically brothers." Semi says. "Yea." The 4 stay at the river until dark. "Well, we'll be going now." Semi says. "Same here. It was nice meeting you Tendou-san." Tendou smiles, "Same here your highness." Semi groans, "How come you call him that but not me?" The other 3 laugh, "Well, good night now." Shirabu says walking back to his palace, Taichi right behind him. "How'd you know he was gonna be there?!" Taichi exclaims, Shirabu not really giving an answer besides shrugging.

"You know one of the Shirabu's?!" Tendou whisper yells at Semi. "Yea? Our parents don't know. So we're safe." Semi whispers back as they get to the palace. "Oh my god." Tendou whispers, "Oh shush, he's the one who wanted to find you." Tendou looked at him, "Really?" "Yea, he's not as bad as mom puts him to be." Tendou sighs, "Good luck then." Semi looks at him confused, "Good luck? For what?" Tendou smiles, "You'll see~"

Semi doesn't question him any further, heading up to his room.
