A priestesses' fate isn't so cruel

Chapeter 18

After meikata explains, Shina was drenched with her own tears.

They couldn't stop leaking. Drip.. drip..

Shock also overwhelmed her.

"Your dad's family name is Sanagi. But he wouldn't let me find him if he didn't come back. I was furious, but i just went with the flow.." Shina's mother clenched her fists tightly while straining her eyes from crying.

Shina's ears suddenly pricked up. "Sanagi?!" She shouted, eying her mother.

"Yes, why?" Her mother suprisingly stares at her.

"Thats.. nothing.. erm.." She knew her father was a CEO. Not just any CEO, am important one. No one forgot him. And they're still looking for the cause of his death until now.

Shina couldn't believe it. Her father is dead, and was someone famous.

Shina hugged her mother once again, before waving off and going back to her room when she thought she someone behind a sakura tree.

She glimpsed again. No one. She let out a sigh of relief, while heading back on her little feet.

Her long straight black hair was pulled back by the cooling breeze.

______MEANWHILE... _____

Makoto looked behind the tree, making sure Shina didn't notice him.

His hair was flowing with the rhythm. His confused brain had finally processed it.

Shina is the true blood and only left heir to the throne of the Sanagi company.

Then what about Rei and Reina? something must've happened..

He suspiciously tosses his head up, with a suspect so secretive.

Suddenly, his eyes widen in realization.

He had figured it out.

The deaths of the whole true Sanagi family were all related to Rei and Reina Sanagi.

He bit his lip and thought about something more dark. But it could be the truth.

Murder. They were murdered by Rei and Reina!

Cold sweat trickeled down his forehead. He needed to confess that he had been eavesdroping on Shina and Meikata. But he knew the truth, or his dark suspicion  had to be known.

After another point of realization made him blush. he smiles while he grew hotter in temperature although it was a cold pretty night.

If he had been arranged to marry the so called fake heir of the Sanagi family, in other words Rei, he would have actually been married to Shina!..

He quickened his pace and ran to his room on the priest section, his heart fluttering and his stomach with butterflies pacing up and down.

But he knew he needed to tell Shina.

He sighed but thought about the good things if they were married.

IN THE MORNING LATER...

The skies were peach. It was still dawn. Shina woke up to hear snores on the other side of her room. She was about to ask herself when she realized it was Saturday.

Days pass so quickly, maybe next time i'll wake up to myself an old woman.

She streched her arms. She knew she didn't want to waste the day. She knew what she had to do. She needed to see her foster parents to know more about the truth.

After  a quick relaxing hot bath, she changed into a casual and simple attire. She wore a light blue shirt and a long black skirt tucking in the shirt. She tied her hair into a simple bun with a chopstick.

She grabbed her simple purse bag and wore wooden slippers before reaching the entrance. Before she could step out of the temple entrance, a voice called out to her.

A manly but soft voice. She recognized who it was. She turned around to find Makoto. He was panting. He was wearing a white shirt with long jeans. She blushed to see how handsome he was.

"Good morning.. Makoto!.."
She grip her skirt and smiled.
"Morning Shina. I need to tell you something. Real quick." He smiles and blushes.

Shina and Makoto sat on a bench and talked. Makoto told her everything about her conversation with her real mother.

Shina widens her eyes in shock but she wasn't that dissapointed. " You know.. that's fine. But what really you wanted to tell me?" She looks at his eyes. The soul inside of it.

"I have a suspicion. I think your father's death was caused by Rei and Reina Sanagi.. " He tearfully answers while looking down at the grey temple tiles.

"Really?.. but i'm not so sure.. but they do seem suspicious. and i need to see my foster parents to ask them more about my father and how he died-" Tears fell out of her eyes. endless tears. She did not even understand why she was even crying.

Makoto felt sympathy. "I'll follow you." He looks at her eyes. She sniffled but returned to her normal expression.

"No.. you don't have to-" He takes her hand. " I'm going with you." After all, he was eager to know who killed the father of the woman he loves.
