Her Red butterfly and her Blue butterfly

5 - Emiko

When Emiko saw her friend from all those years ago stand before her, she was in a state of shock and guilt. She snapped out of her Stupor and looked at Michiko with a look that had Pain and Sadness. "Why.? Why do you suddenly appear now, Michiko? Did you not know of the pain I had to deal with for 20 years?!" She said as thunder could be heard from outside the church. "I know.. but please, let me explain everything to y-" Michiko was cut off by a vine slapping her across the face. Emiko was having none of the excuses. "I'm going home. DO not follow me." She said before she and her Nyobo teleported back to the heavenly palace. Emiko went to her room while her father understood why she appeared suddenly. Tears stained the princess's face as she created more vines with Roses of Sharon on them and using them, lifted her and her bed up into the Dark red veil with gold designs on it. Some tears began to fell from her cheeks and onto the flower lined floor. She heard her door opening and heard a familiar voice. "Emiko? Are you here?" She didn't say anything. "I need to talk to you.. please, can we hug this out?" Her eyes glowed a blood red as she did a silent snarl. "Hug it.. out?" She said as her vines gently lowered her down. "You abandoned me for 20 years." She said picking a rose of Sharon off her vine and crushing it in her hand. "You made me blame myself for so long.." she looked at Michiko with anger as her ears twitched in anger. "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!" She said yelling at her former friend who backed away. Michiko kept quiet thinking about what to say as not to upset the princess even more then she already was. "I can see your upset and you know what cures it? A embrace." She said as Emiko's Eyes glistened with tears. "Don't touch me." She said as vines formed an "x" as she walked to Michiko. The look of heartbreak was shone on her face.

Just then, Michiko broke the vines and hugged Emiko tightly, refusing to let go. Emiko began to cry, remembering all the things that led to her having this moment. The woman buried her face in her friend's kimono as her ears folded. "Emiko, I'm so sorry for what I have done to you all those years ago. I wanted to tell you how I felt, but I couldn't. If I told you how I felt about you, you would hate me.." Emiko smiled softly and kissed Michiko.

Michiko looked shocked and kissed back. "You.. like me back?" She asked as the princess smiled. "Yes, Michiko. After your death, there was no reason for me to move on. Every day I remember what happened up to this point in time. I hated that man who killed you and I know for a fact you hated those males who made moves on me. So.. Will you be my girlfriend/ Mate?" She asked. "Yes!" Said Michiko as they kissed again. Soon, They kissed again and after that. They got "busy" with making sure Emiko never forgot that Michiko was there for her and by her side for all eternity.
