Shard of Memories I

FOR ALL the times that you loved him, for the time that you saved him too much, the time that you sacrificed yourself and the time when he throw away your feelings in a snap.

Rengoku never took note of your petite form, a little lamb chasing after a butterfly and lost its way in the woods and to be never found again.

"Stay here, okay? I will get a medical kit for you! Please don't move a muscle while I'm gone!" You panic and scramble to your feet, leaving the wounded pillar who had just returned from a tensive mission.

When you came to where he was sitting, no trace of his tall figure remain. You grow worried for the male, to the point of scanning the whole house. The concern for the Fire Pillar came busting out the window when you saw Mitsuri and him laughing by the lake.

She was cleaning his open wounds, half naked. The pink tint on his cheeks didn't go unnoticed - it was quite obvious, he like her. But that quickly change when a new servant came into his care, that you figured they were sharing the most genuine feelings for another.

Firstly, Rengoku isn't food of having ladies or anyone feed him than himself. But the servant managed to. Secondly, he never liked ladies with knotted, shabby and short hair which at the time you had and so did the servant. Third, he doesn't easily fall in love but again, he did with the servant.

Enduring all of the burning moments in front of you brought paining tears, it was the point that you had to confess before it was too late.

"Ren." You nervously cry out, fiddling with your haori. A brow rise to his hairline at your small action, what were you getting nervous for?

"Yes?"

"I have something very important to tell you."

"Yes?"

"I-"

"Rengoku-sama."

The called man turned, completely blocking you from the person's view. "Haruka? What's wrong?" Rengoku chirp, the obvious happiness in his voice bouncing off the walls.

"Is it alright I have some currency to buy us dinner?" Haruka plead and you almost choke in disbelief, was Rengoku oblivious to what the girl was implying?

They have servants. Rengoku has all the type of food that you can find in the market - including ingredients. Being a Hashira has advantage of all the supplies, they will never run out of goods. Now this 'Haruka' is a servant, she must at least know before working here.

Something is not right.

"Ren."

"I'm sorry, YN. But can this talk wait?"

I've been trying to reach you for days. When will you finally listen to me?

Instead of fighting back, you nod and smile at the two, "Actually nevermind." You left, carrying a heavy heart.

When will you finally notice me?

Rengoku stare at your fading form, feeling a tug on his chest - was that a bad move? You did smile and said it was nothing but your eyes said the opposite. Have you been crying? The dark bags beneath your eyes was already patent.
