Chapter 2

Previously on Chapter 1

I pull her closer to me as I stare at her face. I cup the side of her cheek, gently caressing her skin with my thumb. I will try my best to mend her heart. I will take care of her and make sure she doesn't feel alone. Rengoku... you can rest easy up there. I will make sure she's happy because she deserves to be. I'm going to love her... always.

-Exhaustions-

Y/N P.O.V

I keep tossing and turning on my futon. But no matter how hard I try to fall asleep, I just couldn't. I stare at the wall, not knowing what else to do. I let out a soft sigh as I move to sit up. I stare at my lap for a few seconds, giving up on trying to fall asleep.

I turn to look at the closed door of the porch. I move stand up, heading towards the balcony. I slide the door open, and make my way out. I look up at the sky to see the moon. I take a seat on the wooden porch and close my eyes.

Flashback

I sat on the porch and look up at the moon. It was silent as I enjoy the night breeze. It's just another night that I'm not able to sleep.

I feel a presence next to me. I turn my head to see my fiancé. "Can't sleep again?" He asked, staring at me with a worried gaze. I just nod my head at what he asked. He take a seat next to me. I scoot closer to his side, placing my head on his shoulder. His arm automatically wrap itself around my shoulder.

"A lot of things are on my mind..." I said, closing my eyes as I relaxed. His hand ran through my hair comfortingly. I snuggled closer to his side as I hummed softly at his small yet loving gesture.

"It's not healthy for you keep getting lack of sleep, Y/N" he said. I could hear how worried he was for me. I let out a sigh at his comment.

"It's not like I asked for it. My mind just refused to let me rest" I mumbled. I felt a gentle kiss on the side of my head. I lifted my head from his shoulder to look at him. He lifted his hand, cupping the side of my cheek. I closed my eyes as he gently ran his thumb across my cheek.

"We can at least try to cuddle? Maybe you'd be able to fall asleep..." he said. I just nodded at what he said. He smiled softly at me. He scooped me up in his arm as he head towards the futon. He placed me down on the futon and laid down next to me. I snuggled closer to his side, placing my head on his chest.

I love you, Y/N...

End of Flashback

Tears starts to stream down my cheeks as I recall that memories of me and Kyoujuro. Every time I had a hard time to fall asleep. He would always knew how to help. But now I'm all on my own without him by my side. I don't know what to do.

"Why did you leave me, Kyou-Chan..." I cried out as I clutch onto my chest. My body starts to shake as I start to cry. I feel a gentle warmth around me, making me open my eyes and look around. There's no one there. I shake my head as I look forward and continued to cry.

I stood in front of Mitsuri-Chan. We have promised to have a training session together. In my hands is a bokken sword as I take a battle stance. I lunges towards her, lifting my arms above my head to strike her with the bokken sword, as she block my attack with her own.

I breathe heavily as I take a few steps back. My vision starts to grow blurry. The sleepless nights I went through these passed few days are starting to take a toll on my body.

"Are you okay, Y/N-Chan? You look so pale. Perhaps we should take break?" She said, lowering her bokken sword as she stare at me worriedly. I shake my head at what she said, wanting to keep going. "But you look sick, Y/N-Chan" she said.

"No... I can keep going. Let's go again" I said. I take a step forward, preparing myself to attack again. But before I could do anything, my head suddenly starts spinning as I fall forward on the ground. I hear Mitsuri-Chan yelling out my name.

Mitsuri P.O.V

"Y/N-Chan!!" I yelled out when I watch her fall. I rush towards her and kneels down. I scoop her up as I cradle her in my arms. "Y/N-Chan, hang in there! Hey... Y/N-Chan!" I said.

I hear footsteps and turn my head to see Shinazugawa-San who walks by. "Shinazugawa-San!" I called out to him. He turn his head to our direction. His eyes widened when he notices Y/N-Chan laying unconsciously in my arms. He quickly rushes towards us.

"What happened?" He asked. His voice is filled with panic and concern. He turn his head to look at me for an explanation. I turn to look at Y/N-Chan and turn to look at him again.

"We were training. I noticed her face becoming paler than it normally should. I figured she was tired and offered for her to rest, but she refused. The next thing I know, she just fainted" I said. He let out a sigh and reached out. He scoops Y/N-Chan in his arms. The way he handled her, it's like he's handling a porcelain doll. So careful and gentle.

"I'm going to take her to Kocho..." he said. I just nod my head at what he said. He slowly stands up with Y/N-Chan in his arms. I stand up too, wanting to go along with them. Y/N-Chan is like a sister to me. I want to make sure she's alright.

Time-skip

Sanemi P.O.V

"L/N-San is heavily malnourished..." Kocho said, turning to look at me and Kanroji-San after checking up on Y/N. "It seems like she haven't been eating properly for the past few months after Rengoku-San's passing" she said, turning to look at Y/N for a brief moment before turning to look at me again. "Aside from that, judging by how weak and pale she looks... along with how dark her eyes are, I guess it's safe to say that she also hasn't been sleeping properly either" she said.

I let out a sigh and turn to look at Y/N who lays on the bed. She looks skinnier and sicker than normal. Seems like she's still not accepting Rengoku's death. I can't blame her. They were so close... so in love with each other.

"Please make sure she drinks this when she wakes up..." she said, placing a small bag on the bedside table. She turn to look at me. "I know what type of feelings you hold for L/N-San. So make sure to look after her, alright?" She said.

I let out a cough as I turn my head away from her teasing yet full of concern. But the latter is addressed for Y/N who's still unconscious. I feel my cheeks growing warm at her sudden comment about my feelings for Y/N. Is the feelings I have for Y/N really that obvious?
