marriage

A/N: Dear readers I'm sorry for the cliff hanger from the last chapter. You see I actually wasn't done writing it but I accidently published it. So here is the rest of it. (^_^)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Recap.

Hiro could see the hurt in her eyes as she smiled at him. Then suddenly he felt something wet on his skin. He looked down to see that Tsubasa had stopped unwrapping his hand. He saw tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Tsubasa... please don't cry... don't cry for someone like me," Hiro said.

"I'm...*sniff* I'm almost done... just let me put on the ointment and the new bandage*sniff* ok?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Hiro didn't know what to say it was obvious that he made her cry. How? How could he do this to her? No, how could his parents do this to him? He could feel Tsubasa putting the ointment on his skin. Her soft skin touching his sent shivers down his spine. Then he watched as she wrapped his hand back up and clipped it in place.

Tsubasa didn't know what to say or what to do. She didn't want to think about it and she didn't want to hear it. When she was done clipping the bandage in its place she cupped his wounded hand, bringing it up to her lips and gently placing a kiss. She could Hiro's eyes watching her but she didn't care. She got up and without looking at him she turned away going back into the bathroom.
When she came back out she looked at Hiro with a smile.

"Okay, so your parents... they arranged your marriage huh?" Tsubasa said firmly.

"Umm... yea," Hiro replied faintly.

"It's ok... I guess," Tsubasa said now looking away again.

"What do you mean?"

"There's nothing we can do now..." Tsubasa replied to his remark and was walking towards him.

Hiro watched as she walked towards him her eyes filled with emotion. He watched her as she went on her knees in front of him. Hiro leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and his hands closed together before him listened for what she had to say.

He heard Tsubasa mumble,"Who is she?"

"..." Hiro didn't know how to reply.

"The girl that you're going to be arranged with... do you know her name?"

"Her name is Hana."

Tsubasa remembered hearing this name but she couldn't recall where. Then she replied,"What does she look like?"

"Why... why would you want to know that?"

"Hey... if I'm not going to be able to be with you I have to make sure she's good for you right? After all your parents are picking her for you...," Tsubasa commented raising her voice just a little and mumble at the end. Then she stood up and was going towards the door.

With a chuckle Hiro leaned back in the chair. His chuckle made Tsubasa stop in her tracks.

"Where are you going?" Hiro said in a husky voice.

Tsubasa didn't say anything. Then she heard footsteps coming from behind her and strong arms wrapping around her waist. Hiro slowly spun Tsubasa around so she could face him. They both looked at each other in the eyes and both of them were hurt.

"Hiro...you should probably get going," Tsubasa said to him.

"But...what if I don't want to go?" Hiro said resting is forehead against Tsubasa's.

"I-,"Tsubasa started off but was cut off with a finger to her lips.

"It was a rhetorical question," Hiro said.

"Hmph," Tsubasa pouted as she looked away. 

"What Is it hmm?"

"What is it that you want from me?"

"Me?"

"Yes, you. Who else would I be talking to. The wall," Tsubasa replied angrily. 

"Are you mad at me? "Hiro said closing the gap between them.

Tsubasa turned her face to look at him. She felt his warm unwound hand against her cheek.

"When did you find out about it?" Tsubasa asked. 

"Yesterday."

Tsubasa tried to push Hiro away and make a gap between them, but his grip was too strong for her.

"I love you Tsubasa and for this you deserve someone better then me," Hiro said knowing that he should probably let go of her.

Suddenly the door bell rang.
