Forgotten and Lost In Blood Red Eyes

Chapter 5

"Kazuhiro we weren't doing anything!" I yelled

"You hurt Minori, Kazuhiro." Akihito said glaring at him. Kazuhiro looked confused for a moment.

"Akihito, it's fine he didn't hurt me." I smiled and got off the bed.

"Minori... I'm so sorry." Kazuhiro reached to stroke my cheek but Akihito slapped his hand away.

"You don't deserve to touch him." Akihito enfolded me in his arms. I looked up to see Akihito smiling down at me. My white hair slid into my eyes, he carefully brushed it aside.

"But Minori...I..." Kazuhiro trailed off. I don't want him to feel lonely.

"Kazuhiro, I know you love Asami." I wiped my eyes that had begun to get blurry. "I know I can't replace her. but I would like to be close friends." I slid away from Akihito.

"Alright Minori." he held out his hand and I shook it.

"Now that that's settled I wonder where Daisuke is." I walked out of the room determined to find Daisuke.

"Hey!" I bumped into a firm chest and looked up to see it was Daisuke.

"S-sorry Daisuke." I bowed my head quickly.

"You don't need to apologize." he murmured. I smiled happy that he was starting to soften up.

"Minori-chan!" Ai jumped and hugged me. I giggled and Daisuke just walked away.

"Hey Ai, how are you?" I ruffled her hair gently.

"I'm good, are you better now?" Her smile makes me feel much happier.

"Yeah but I must be leaving the castle today." Ai looked shocked.

"Minori don't go!" she clung to me tightly gripping my shirt.

"I have to my mother will be very angry if I don't get back." I gently put her on the ground and walked to my room. The robes I was wearing made me look very feminine.

A knock at my door startled me.

"It's Yoko." Her voice held sadness.

"Come in." I replied. She had on a beautiful black dress.

"Don't go." Her eyes glimmered and she was almost showing an emotion.

"Yoko." I whispered and she walked quickly to me and hugged me.

"Don't go. I don't want you to go." I picked her up and gave her a hug.

"I have to." Yoko was making my departure difficult.

"Everyone will be sad without you here Minori." She hugged me tighter. I stroked her hair.

"You guys have already done so much for me I can't thank you enough." I kept hugging her to me.

"You can thank us by staying." I heard Yoshihiro's voice boom through my room.

"Yoshihiro how long have you been standing there?" He smiled gently at me.

"Long enough, please stay here with us." Yoko perked up, though she didn't smile with her lips she smiled with her blue eyes.

"He can stay here forever?" I heard Ai's voice from behind Yoshihiro.

"Yes." He laughed with kindness and joy.

"Yay." Yoko said with some emotion in her voice. The others stepped out from their hiding places.

"Thank you everyone." I felt tears coming to my eyes.
