Kuro: masa-chan. Can I not choose?

Masamori: you have to. We made a trade.

Kuro: but I like my own dress...

Masamori: afraid I can't pay for it?

Kuro: no... Just... Don't want.

Masamori: sure?

Kuro: .... Can I have a yukata instead?

Masamori: all you can think is the festival. Don't you want to pretty at your own marriage ceremony?

Kuro: yukata is pretty!! Plus, masa-chan always wear yukata. I can be like masa-chan.

He smiles at what she thinks " alright."

Kuro: how come masa-chan can catch it so easily?!!

Masamori: I have skill. You don't.

Kuro: mmm...

Masamori: usagi-chan. You've been stuck in yagyou for 113 years. Then what were you doing in the rest of the 100 years?

Kuro: living with my parents till 15 years old. After that night of massacre on my clan, I stayed in my aunt who is a human's house. For about 35 years.

Masamori: a massacre on your clan? You never told me this.

Kuro: that's because it's not important.

Masamori: kuro. Tell me everything about you.

Kuro: eh... Is it necessary?

Masamori: we're going to be married. It's important.

Kuro: mmm... Ok then. So I lived at my aunt's for 35 years. I wasn't allowed out because my face wouldn't change... It would creep people out and cause panic. So I just stayed home for 35 years. I cleaned and cooked everything. My aunt always bought me things when she came back. She was a nice person though. She then died... Then I moved to my uncle's house.

Masamori: I see.

Kuro: but it seemed like these days all never really lasted... Cos they were getting old and dying one by one... So I just kept moving houses... For about... 30 years. Then...

She stops in her steps and looks to him " For a black period of 32 years... That I cannot tell you about... Then I joined yagyou. " She walked silently ahead. He chased up and held onto her wrist " black period?"

Kuro: can't... Say...

Masamori: you're afraid I'll dislike you and don't want you.

She nods...

Masamori: you killed ayakashis or killed humans?

She nods...

Masamori: and you weren't proud of it.

Kuro: it's not like that...

Masamori: tell me.

She takes in a deep breath " I ... Had no place to go. He found me. Said he will give me a place to belong. I just had to do what he said. He made me kill a lot of ayakashis. They called us assassins. "

Masamori: I see. Then it's nothing really serious.

Kuro: it's... Not? But they all looked at me like I was disgusting.

He ruffles with her hair " everyone will look at you like that if you wanted their life. "

Kuro: then the chief at that time invited me to yagyou. We were friends. He said it would be funner at urukai than to be with those other ayakashis I was with.

Flashback~

" Kuro. Come join yagyou."

Kuro: why?

" It's funner here , don't you think?"

Kuro: I guess... All we talk about over there is... Who's your target. Who is better at killing?

" Then join me. This place can be your home. "

Kuro: home? What's that?

" You stayed with your aunt for 35 years. How did that feel?"

Kuro: .... I want to go back there... But she's no longer there.

" This can be that kind of place for you. "

Kuro: that... Is home?

" Um. Home. "

Kuro: um!! Home!!

End of flashback~

Kuro : It turned out that the chief was a friend of my papa. He was being asked to take care of me. He was looking for me all these years.

Masamori: then why do you call it black period?

Kuro: because... Not many people know about this... About me. And I was afraid people would give me the looks...

He hugged her " it's ok. As long as they're not humans.Not good humans."

Kuro: they're all ayakashis.

Masamori: that's enough for me.
