A Kept Promise. [Hakuryuu × Morgiana]

Act Natually

((AN// Don't forget to read the note at the end of the chapter please,
Have a good lecture))

After Morgiana's waking, she and her friends decided to prolonge their stay at The Kou Empire.

She was greeted by many hugs from Kougyoku and Kouha, pats from Masrur, and kind smiles from Kouen, Koumei and Hakuen. Even the glance that shot her Judal was warm. She never felt this loved before.

But, things were a little awkward with Hakuryuu. Every time they made eye contact, he averted his eyes, and walked away. All Morgiana did was frown.

Hakuryuu wasn't understanding what the hell was happening with him. It's like he's back to the old days, when he was travelling with the three, and knew that he was in love with Morgiana. He wasn't able to control his blushing, his shy actions, and his silly behaviour towards the girl.

So he dicided to go, and have a proper conversation with her. He wasn't backing off. Not this time. He made a decision when she woke up, and he was willing to respect it.

He was walking in the corridor, searching for a certain red headed girl, when he bumped into Judal.

"Eh, watch your steps, moron Prince." Judal spat out.

"Judal, sorry.. Hey, have you seen Morgiana-dono?" Hakuryuu asked.

The raven haired shook his head, "Nah, but I think I heard the little Magi talk to her, in the garden I presume?" He said, which came out more like a question than a statement.

Hakuryuu nodded, and stormed towards the garden. And that's when he felt weak at his legs' level again. Her sweet smile, her beautiful hair, her magnificent eyes, her breathtaking features, her everything. He was so much in love.

He took shy steps towards her, where Aladdin and Alibaba accompanied her, and cleared his throat to gain their attention. "Uhm, uh hello," He said.

"Oh, hey Hakuryuu!" Greeted Alibaba.

"Hello Hakuryuu-san." Greeted Morgiana and oh, her voice was a pure angelic gift from god to the prince's ears. He smiled a little, and spoke again, "Morgiana-dono. Can I talk to you for a moment? Privately?" He said, looking at both Aladdin and Alibaba, who seemed to understand and retreated themselves after a quick "Bye!"

"It's actually great, because I wanted to talk to you too," Smiled Morgiana. Yes, she was going to try and convince him to drop up the whole revenge thing.

"About what?" He Asked.

"Well," she sat down on the grass, and patted the free space beside her, mentioning for him to take a seat. He did, and she continued, "I don't really know how to say this, but.. Please forget about your desire for revenge." She said, looking at him right in the eyes, with knitted eyebrows.

"This is sick, I know. You've lived for this, fought for this, trained for this, but.. please, forget about it. I'm not telling you to forgive her, I'm just telling you not to drag yourself in the darkness that you're already drowning in." She said, with a pleading look.

The boy just stared at her, seeing the hurt in her eyes, not knowing what to say.

She took a deep breath, and started speaking again, "You know, before meeting those two," She nodded her head where Alibaba and Aladdin were sitting, teasing Masrur, "I was a slave. I remember my master, Jamil. He would come to my cell every night, and torture me. He began when I was five years old. There wasn't any night where I would sleep on the cold ground, without blood dripping from my body."

She sighed, and continued, "I would cry all the time, wishing that one day, one day I would escape from that hell. When that day came, and I was free, I still felt that hatred towards Jamil, and all his crew. True, he died, there wasn't anything I could to him. But I was able to go and hunt down all his workers, the ones that enjoyed torturing us. If I wanted to, they would be all dead by now. But I didn't. I didn't because; why? Even if they die, that won't change what they did in the past. The past is in the past. It can't be changed. So why bother getting blood on my hands for a selfish desire?"

Now, Hakuryuu was literally shaking beside her. He never knew what that girl went through. This was so much compared to him. He felt like a spoiled brat, complaining about his problems, when the girl, the angel that he was talking with, that deserved all the love, was literally beaten up every night, starting from the age of five. For heaven's sake!

Not even noticing his body moves, he wrapped an arm around the read headed girl, and hugged her really tight. Like if he didn't, she would disappear. And Morgiana never felt this safe, it's like she belonged there, like these arms were made for holding her. ((AN// I couldn't help but use One Direction's lyrics here! >3<))

"Sorry.." He murmured. Morgiana looked up form the crook of his neck, and titled her head to the side. A confused expression on her face, and hurt in the eyes, "Sorry..? Y-you mean, you're still gonna do it?" She whisper-asked, tears burning in her eyes, threatening to fall.

Hakuryuu's face went from compassion and sadness, to shock and confusion, "N-no! I wasn't talking about that! I mean, about you, your past; I'm sorry that you had to go through so much," He rambled.

Morgiana smiled, and buried her face in his neck again, humming, "Mhm, it's okay.."

He couldn't help but have a fond smile plastered on his face. He was happy, because this girl was acting all natural with him. She didn't back off, and he was so thankful about this. And again, it hit him. He wanted to be by her side for the rest of his life, holding her in his arms, rocking her body, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. It was so right, it just felt so right. And this time, he's sure of it, he is not forgiving his mother, but he sure isn't going all mad, trying to find a plan to kill her neither. All he wants, all he ever wanted was here in his arms, and nothing would make him happier than seeing this beautiful angel smiling.

"I'm staying with you, no revenge anymore.." He whispered to himself, but Morgiana heard, and it was soft melody to her ears. She never felt happier, so she hugged even tighter, with a smile never leaving her lips.

The End.~

This is certainly NOT the end.
So I wanted to say: Please, go check my other story "Dream Catcher" it's not related to any anime or manga. It's irl, but please, go check it out, at least read the description. Maybe you'll like it? And tell your friends about it maybe?
I would be very happy if you did.

Also, I wanted to make you aware that there aren't many chapters left. Maybe 3 or 4.
