Thoughts of A Little Boy who Vowed to Protect Her

Of all the crazy things I have done and gotten yelled at for. My father suddenly dumps a little girl, two years younger than myself into my lap. Is this my punishment? I watched the girl for some time in front of me. She sits like she's a clan heir. Father, who is she? I had asked him once. The girl didn't even twitch when I spoke. Her face emotionless, her eyes dead and a dull green.

This is Haninozuka Yukikaoru. From this day forward you will always be by her side. My father had demanded me of it. We weren't of the main family of Morinozuka. We didn't pledge ourselves to just one person. We... then I looked at the girl in front of me as soon as my father left.

Don't worry, Hime-sama. From today and forever, I will always, always be by your side. Umi. The maid had enter setting cookies and milk on the table in front of us. I saw something flicker in the girl's eyes.

Yes, sir? I looked at her. The determination and fierce adoration gleamed in her eyes.

You will help me protect Hime-sama when I'm not there?

If that is your wish and order. She looked at me and then at Hime.

Charlotte.

The girl whispered so quietly that I had to strain to hear. Huh?

Charlotte. My name is Charlotte.

Making progress, although father introduced us to a different name. My name is Sasuke. I vowed from the bottom of my heart and the blood pumping through my veins, that I will always be by your side without my father ordering me to do so.

There is tears in her eyes and she starts crying. Thank you. Thank you.

I grinned and patted her head.

I had met her family. The Haninozuka. Her eldest brother has a protector too. Although, we are very different. Where as Mitsukuni can protect himself. Lettie cannot. They try to get her to study martial arts, but for some reason I feel like she's not meant to do that.

And I was right. The music she plays is so hauntingly beautiful, it's so sad. It's like she's playing a gateway to her soul. Mitsukuni, Yasuchika and Takashi have come in to watch her play. As for myself, I am standing in the shadows away from the prying eyes. I know Lettie can sense me. When she calls to me, I shall always appear. Nii-sama, nii-san. How may I help you, today? Even her voice is quiet and soft, but the air of confidence in herself is just oozing out. I see her brothers and Takashi flinch. I want to laugh, but I smirk instead.

We heard you playing, so we wanted to see if you wanted to play with us. Mitsukuni had asked.

Sasuke. I came out of the shadows and into the light. The boys' eyes had widen and they shrieked. I am busy, nii-sama. Please leave.
