I came into Ieyasu's room and he was already deep in his sleep. A smile curve upon my lips as I watches him. He looks so adorable.

As gently as I could, I pulled the blanket over his body, when suddenly he stirred as his eyelids begins to flutter.

I bit my lower lips with a pang of guilt jabbing my heart, for I didn't mean to wake him up. Thinking he might fall back to slumber, I silently crept slowly away from his bed but suddenly I felt my hand had been tugged. "Sephira.." he called me tenderly making my heart flutters.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up" I said apologetically

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up" I said apologetically.

"It's alright sweetie, I'm more at ease now that you are beaming at me..." noun Ieyasu as he sat on his bed, lightly pulling me close to his side.

"Ieyasu," I utters as I lay my head upon his chest, "I'm sorry, I do not mean to brush you off in such manner.. I.."

"Hey, sweetie.." whispered Ieyasu as he places his long finger under my chin and gently lift it up, therefore his gaze will falls upon me. "I understand..but honestly my past life is no different like Nokto's. Remember I told you that I used to be a bounty hunter, therefore whoever I was ordered to kill, I will just kill, no matter who they were, even if they were young or old, men or woman. And I expect good credits after each successive killings. And right until today, I live my life with mournful regrets and guilt despite my dark soul has been save by Will. Sephira, I still carry those darkness of sin with me." utters Ieyasu remorsefully. His eyes were blurring with his glint of tears..

I held my gaze upon him as I tightened my grip upon his hand.

"If you can open up your heart to forgive me and accept me for what I used to be, I believe you can do so with Nokto.." he mutters with a yearning gaze cast in his eyes.

I remained silence as I stoop my head low away from his glimpse. Deep beneath my heart, I just can't let go of this burning hatred which has been burning too long inside my soul. "I can't Ieyasu. I just not ready.." I murmured.

Ieyasu pull me back in his arms and held me close to him. "It's alright, give yourself some time.

I could only nodded my head with a grim smile.

"Sephira, tomorrow I need to get to town to buy few necessities for our new younglings shelter." Noun Ieyasu as he gently twirl my hair in between his fingers.

"Oh, may I come along? It's been a while I've not been out to town.." I ask with a huge grin as I gently raise my head, therefore our gaze will fall upon each other.

"Sweetie, I will really love you to come along, but I won't be staying by your side all day, cause there's so many things which I need to see through. And furthermore Luke is there.." growled Ieyasu as he rolled his eyes to the sky.

"Oh Ieyasu.." I laughed, as I caught both his cheeks in my palms and bring my face close to him until our noses touched. "You are so adorable.."

"More adorable than Luke.." he grumbled under his nose, making me reel with laughter..
