Chapter 04

He believes, when he say something, he mean it. He wants her to leave, he wants her to go away, but then just like how his lies to keep Genya safe betrayed him, his feeling is yet to be swayed by another enigmatic presence in his life.

Sanemi came back from his little exploration and when he came back, he was already expecting the same goofy smile and the,

"Welcome back Sanemi-sama", of a certain person but then only silence welcomed him.

He then proceed to walk inside the house and called her name.

"(name), hey! where are you?", he look over the different rooms of the mansion.Room after room, his heartbeat goes faster together with his steps and realization.

"hey, this isn't funny, come out will you?", but only echoes answered him.

Did someone came to take her away? Did she finally leave him? Did she -

All questions inside his head was paused when the said woman came back from outside, holding a basket in her hand as if it was the most precious thing in the world.

Her eyes landed on him and it lits up the same way it always does.

"Oh, Sanemi-sama, you comeback early, look, I found flowers in the forest, I think they will look good in the garden and in the vase inside the house", she keeps on saying something but it's flowing out of Sanemi's other ears, all he can think of is how he felt so relieved when he saw her face and he saw the same warm gaze she always give to him.

She paused before stepping near him and look at him intently, outting the basket aside, she speaks,

"Are you alright Sanemi-sama? you're sweating, did you run a kilometer or something", she jokes before she took a
handkerchief on her pocket before slightly dabbing it in his forehead but he just move his head after few contacts.

"I'm fine, just prepare the table, you'll be eating with me", she looks confuse but just nodded as Sanemi turn around and take a step, leaving her behind slightly confuse.

"What was that?", she whisper before sighing and proceeds on going in the kitchen with a little pout, " he didn't even said, 'welcome back' to me", she just shook the though then before adjusting her kimono and tying her hair.

"Well then , time to cook first",

As she was in the Kitchen another man was in his room and glaring intently at the garden from his window where more flowers are growing, probably because a certain someone, makes it a hobby of finding flowers and putting them in whatever place she can think of.

Still he can't believe his reaction for today, he slowly stares at his sword he placed in his room. This was the first time he overreacted over something that was not about the demons.

The anguish, the worry, the doubts, it all swirl inside of him like a tornado, as if he has a family member whom he almost lost again.

It was as of he had lost someone very important.

'I told her to leave without telling me anything, but here I am getting flustered over the thought that she might have leaved me without actually saying anything, damn it!'
