A Forbidden Love

Chapter 30

Yoshitsune POV

As I lay there in bed I thought back to the night in the alley. 5 days I was told. I only had 5 days. Today was the 4th day and I haven't gotten anywhere near getting the job done. I just can't... I love her.. Too much... Hinata is my weakness... What if I had a choice though... To rebel against his words and keep hinata with me.. What if I were to stay with her?? ... I could always just protect her and we could live our lives together... Maybe even start a life together and get married... Start a family... The emperor doesn't like me but he doesn't have to and I could a give a rats ass If he never likes me. It's hinata I care about. I'm falling even deeper in love with her.. I knew this would probably happen... I was afraid of it.. I have a job.. And I cant fufill that job when I'm falling in love with my prey. How can the lion Corner the lamb when the lamb has stolen his heart.... The lion can't hurt the lamb. The lion wouldn't be able to live without the lamb. Why did it have to be her he wanted... Why can't it be some other girl... Why is it that when I finally found something good and that I want to keep have to be taken away from me because of his wishes... It's just unfair... Life can be such a beach sometimes.. But what kind of life would we live when we are constantly looking over our shoulders... Always afraid... I wouldn't be able to stand the fear I would see in her eyes each and every day ... Every time I looked at her... That wouldn't even be a life at all... Things are so dang complicated... What happened to the simple times??... Where did those days go??... Why can't we be at peace and not a war... Why? .... Why does our love have to be forbidden???... I know the emperor declared war after the empress passed.. The emperor is really rather in unstable condition... He's losing his marbles.... He's really gonna lose his marbles if the plan is fufilled.. He would go ape shit.. I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about the emperor running around screaming orders 24/7 ... I would feel bad for the people in this castle that's for dang sure.. I kissed Hinatas hair as she continued to sleep peacefully in my arms... She's mine... I know that for sure... And she has my heart... That's one other thing I know... She's probably hungry... I should get her some food... I'm kinda hungry myself.. I went to my duffel bag I had stashed in her closet and pulled out my white hoodie, black undershirt, and light denim blue jeans with a pair of black lace up combat boots. Once I was dressed I brushed my teeth and got myself ready for the day in her bathroom. After that I went to hinatas bedside and kissed her hair... I was tempted to tell her I loved her but if I did that would bring us even closer... It would be nearly impossible to do what I'm being ordered to... Plus I want to save it for a special moment... When the time is right... I'm at war with my own heart... Another thing I know for sure ... I'll add it to the list I thought dryly.. I quickly slipped out of her room and sauntered down to the kitchen looking for some food for hinata and I. Some of the chefs were looking at me quizzically but I have them a look that said don't mess with me. I ordered the chefs to make some pancakes with strawberries and yogurt on the side. Along with a side of bacon. They wouldn't do anything for me at first but when I told them it was for the princess and that I was her boyfriend.. Let's just say they got cookin. After they finished making the food and had it all placed on a tray and had two cups of coffee along with the food I went outside and plucked a rose from a bush outside the castle doors. Perfect I thought smiling. I carried the tray to hinatas room and I set the tray down. She was still sleeping. I sat down on the bed at her waist and shook her shoulder lightly,"wake up my princess.." I cooed gently. "What time is it???" She groaned and moaned. I chuckled and said,"time for you to open those pretty little eyes of yours and give me a good morning kiss.." I swear I saw her smile and the next thing I know she shoves a pillow into my face and says,"here kiss the pillow... You can practice on the pillow.." I was appalled. "For one I don't practice... I'm already a good kisser and two.. I prefer to kiss you and not some cheap pillow.." She raised her head up a bit.. Her eyebrow raised. "Oh really??..." She said chuckling. I nodded and crossed my arms over my chest. She laid her head back down and put the pillow on top of her head. She looked beautiful in the morning. Even though she has messy hair ... She was perfect. And mine.. Best part about it.. She was going to wake up. No questions asked. I threw the pillow off her and to the ground and pulled her towards me and started tickling her unmercifully. "Wake up please love... Unless you want me to tickle you to death.." I said smirking. She wouldn't budge. I let out a sigh. She wasn't going to like what I was about to do. She had yanked the covers back over her. I shook my head and chuckled. I grabbed a glass from her bed side table. I walked into the bathroom and filled the glass up with water.

Hinatas POV

I was hiding under the covers after Yoshitsune had tickled me. I was determined to sleep a little longer. Just a little. I raised an eyebrow still under the blankets when I heard Yoshitsune get up and go into the bathroom.. Ahh... Probably had to go to the bathroom. Just then I heard the water turn on. He turned it off after a couple seconds and then walked in front of me. "Hinata... I know you can hear me under your blankets.. I'm giving you one last chance.. Please get up baby.." I shook my head and said,"no ..." Stubbornly. Suddenly the sheets were yanked off the bed and Yoshitsune was standing above me. My eyes were squeezed shut. What was he going to do?! Just then something wet came pouring down on me in a rush. I shrieked and sat up immediately. He had poured water all over me. "You ass!!" I shrieked. He chuckled and set the glass down. My clothes were drenched. "How much water did you pour on me?!" I shrieked. He held up the glass and said,"not that much ... Calm down geez.. I warned you to get up... You did not listen he said smirking. I let out an irritated growl and stormed to my closet and grabbed some clothes. Then I stormed to my bathroom and shut the door and locked it. I stripped out of my clothes and watched with irritation as they fell to a the ground in a heap. And they made that slop sound. Like when you take a mop and put it on the floor and its soaked in water. Now imagine that. But only its my friggin clothes and not a mop. I hopped in the shower and bathed and washed my hair. It was wet from the water anyways. After I finished in the shower I put on my clothes which consisted of a white lace blouse , a belt, and a pair of white shorts and some sandals. I dried my hair and brushed it out so that it would be in its natural waves and I put on my makeup , perfume, and brushed my teeth. After that I grabbed the glass from my counter in my bathroom and walked to the bathroom door and looked for Yoshitsune to see what he was doing. Payback's a beach. And revenge is sweet. Just like his lips I though absentmindedly. Argh I can't get distracted. Yoshitsune was relaxing on my bed and his eyes were closed. His hands behind his head. He was like a sitting duck. In my mind i felt guilty but I was giddy to get him back. I closed the door but left it cracked open slightly and filled the glass up with water. I tip toed out of the bathroom and went around to his side of the bed and then without giving myself a chance to stop myself I dumped the water on him. He gasped and fell out of the bed. I chuckled and said,"payback is a beach isn't it..." He smirked and got up and said,"nice one my love... It is isn't it ..." he said smirking as he walked over to my closet taking off his wet shirt and hoodie and grabbing a new shirt and slipping it on over his head he smirked when he saw that I was blushing. He knew exactly what he was doing.. I shook my head and said,"mmhhmm.." He chuckled and carried me over to the bed and plopped me down on top of the bed. He kissed my cheek and then went over to my desk and grabbed a tray that had what looked like breakfast for two. I felt like a horses behind now. He set the tray down on the bed and sat next to me smirking. He smiled and pulled me over to him and cupped my face with both his hands and said,"do not feel guilty because you poured water on me ... Keep in mind I poured it on you too.. Anything you ever do to me I won't care... You can wrench my heart out and break it but I will still care about you.. You can slap me as much as you like and I will still care about you.. You know why??..." He asked smiling gently. He was slightly blushing. I was blushing too now. He was staring into my eyes as he waited for my reply... "Why??..." I asked blushing and stuttering like an idiot. He smiled and said,"because... I love you..." Tears came to my eyes as he said those words to me. They didn't mean nothing to me. They meant absolutely everything to me. Before I could reply he pressed his lips against mine and kissed me. The kiss was full of passion backing up the three words he had just told me. I pulled away and was about to say I love you too but he pressed a finger to my lips and said,"no... Don't say it yet.. I want you to say it when the moment is right... And when you're ready.." I was ready honestly. I was wAsnt i? I have no doubts that I love him. But I agree with him. I do want to save it for the right moment. I want it to be my moment. I want to say it to him at the right time. And he has no problem with it. Which makes my heart swell with love for him even more. As he pulled me into his arms and we began eating I let my mind wander ... Trying to think of all the details when I would tell him how I really felt about him. I searched through our memories and then it hit me. I know the perfect setting and the perfect way to tell him. We have loved each other out entire lives and we have waited our entire lives until now to admit our feelings for each other. And I couldn't be happier than to know that he loves me too and will stick by me no matter what. He has truly stolen my heart. And I his.
