Ancient War

Confessions( part 2)

We are in front of a beautiful kingdom. The kitsunes around us are different looking and stop to stare at me. Feeling embarrassed, I look down, but the people ignore me quickly.

" Damon, why am I stared at? Do I look bad or what?"

" No, Luna. It's just that you have nine tails and you haven't transformed for three years. It's impressive, and also, your white hair has never seen before. It's all usually any color, but white."

" Can we simply just go somewhere where we can talk, please? It's uncomfortable being stared at."

" Sure, Luna."

As we walk through a market, different kitsunes look at me in a variety of ways. Most of the females glare at me, while most male wink or smile at me. It's rare that a female smiles politely at me, but when it occurs, I smile back and wave.

I am looking at the items so delighted, that I don't notice when Damon stops. I look at him confused, but he glares ahead of us.

" What's wrong, Damon?"

" Nothing, Luna. We might just see someone who won't like seeing you."

" How? I just got here and have not even spoken to anyone, but you."

" It's nothing, Luna. I'm sure you'll take care of it. Now, what had you so distracted?"

I look around and he seems to understand. Laughing, he pulls me to a stall and tells me to get whatever I want.

" But, Damon, I thought we were going to talk."

" I forgot you never seen most of the items, Luna. We can talk later, but right now, how about we explore the market?"

I don't want to give in, but everything is new to me and my curiosity gets the best of me.

" Okay. There are so many things to see here. Where shall we start?"

" Here. Do you see anything you want?"

" No, Damon. Sadly, there are only jewelry and I'm not a fan of them."

" Okay, then we'll go to that stall. It looks like it has weapons."

" Then we better hurry."

" You never changed for real, did you, Luna?"

" No. I just tried to not get any. I still like many of the things I loved back then."

" Good, because we have so many things I'm sure you will love."

" I believe that. Now come on, I want to see the weapons."

" As you wish, Luna."

- Skip time to where they are at the throne room alone and ready to talk-

" So, who will go first?"

" I will, Luna. They have been a hidden for so long."

" Okay."

" First, I never actually kissed Karin, Luna. It was just a little illusion I made. Second, I started looking out for you since we were children. Remember, I saved you once."

" Oh yeah, I was stuck on a tree and you helped me get down. I thought it was a dream, though."

" Yeah. I was just playing in the woods, when I heard you scream. I had to help and couldn't forget you since then."

" I always had a feeling you were real, but thought my mother was right back then. I felt like I liked you then, but after a while, I forgot about that feeling and continued on."
