The bunny prince and the girl ✓

Chapter - 34

The sun was about to set and despite their best efforts, they could not find both of them. like a bolt from the blue, they heard an explosion from the woods and thought they might be there. They all ran following the noise. And on the way, Sato slipped on a crooked mud place. But thanks to Takemichi, she survived. The moment she was about to fall, Takemichi grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer towards him. As their eyes met, their faces turned red together and Takemichi's heart began to beat faster. "Anh...hm." To avoid that awkward atmosphere, he cleared his throat and turned around. They just kept ongoing. On the way, Sato couldn't control her feelings anymore and pulling Takemichi's right hand from behind, said "Gengi, I know Inoue is more than just a friend to you. And that's okay but I want to make my feelings clear to you too. Gengi, I don't want to be your best friend forever...Because I have those kind of feelings for you..." She left as soon as she finished her statement. Takemichi didn't know what to say, he was just bewildered. 

After going a little further, they found Inoue running after Minamoto, the big bunny, and crying like a baby. And suddenly she stopped midway and cried out "Akihiko... please stop... please." He stopped and turned towards her. The sun had already set, suddenly a strong wind began to blow, with a sigh Inoue began to sing a song...

I wasn't born in a castle,
My father isn't a king.
I was just an ordinary girl,
Before I met you.
In that street,

And when you entered my garden,
The flowers of hope rejoiced again.

So, don't blame yourself,
Don't say you are a monster,
don't blame yourself,
Don't say...

(As Inoue began to sing, all remained quite. Akihiko's eyes widened and it seemed as if he was coming back to his original form. Inoue went closer to Akihiko while singing, she touched his face which was too big and terrible for her little hands. But she didn't care about that and kept on singing)

Cause I'm not the beauty,
you are'nt the beast.
I'm your princess,
And you are the prince.
Of my story...
Of my story
Of my sto..ry...

I wasn't like this from the starting,
My life wasn't so colourful.
I was just an empty soul,
Before you stepped into my world.

And when I was scared, you held my hands,
You made me feel like I'm not alone, anymore.

So, don't blame yourself,
Don't say you are a monster,
don't blame yourself,
Don't say...

Cause I'm not the beauty,
you are'nt the beast.
I'm your princess,
And you are the prince.
Of my story...
Of my story
Of my sto..ry...

And Inoue got a little closer to the big bunny Minamoto. Takemichi suddenly shouted " Inoue watch out". As a result, Minamoto lost his temper again, pushing Inoue away by hitting her with his big claws, causing her to fall to the ground, and she got badly injured. "Inoue..." both Takemichi and Hina shouted. He was about to approach her to help her but Mr. Takahashi stopped him saying, "Let her handle him on her own. Only she can bring Akihiko back, don't interfere between them. Just trust her." His words really saddened Takemichi but he was left with no choice but to trust Inoue.

Suddenly thunder started rumbling, dark clouds had covered the whole sky and it started to rain. It was getting difficult for Inoue to get up due to her severe injuries. Even then she did not stop trying to stand on her feet and went deep into the forest to search for Akihiko. She was moving very fast and after a while her eyes finally caught him. The rain stopped, Inoue was tired of the constant running, she fell on her knees to the ground and continued her singing. Hearing her, Akihiko stopped. He was mesmerized by her melodious and trembling voice. Inoue's voice was trembling as she sang while weeping.
