Katakuri POV
“Are you sure you still want to do this?” I asked her hesitantly as we walked through the Seducing Woods, “cause we can turn around any time you want to.”
“Yes, I want to do this for the hundredth time.” Fae groaned in irritation but the smile slowly returned to her face as she swirled in circles under the sunshine behind me.
“This place is gorgeous but the forest seems like it goes on forever and the trees seem to be drifting closer to us as if there narrowing our path.” She stated seriously as her eyes roamed the forest.
That’s exactly what’s happening. The forest is keeping us on the path I want us to go on and for her to notice that so quickly is astonishing but I’m still aggravated with her stubbornness. I can’t seem to change her mind and I have been trying so hard to talk her out of sparring with me but nothing has worked. I’ve tried tempting her with shopping, sweets, sightseeing, and just about anything I could think of but nothing’s working.
I glanced behind me once more and she was still following behind me, skipping on the rocky path from one rock to another. “Is this really where you do most of your training?” She curiously asked me.
“Some times but I normally do it in the Mirror-World alone but the others insisted on watching us.” She stopped skipping from one rock to another and her soft grey eyes landed on me. “Why do they want to watch us?” She asked, tilting her head.
I loved it when she did that. I shook my head trying to get my thoughts in order but it was almost impossible with her around. “Because they don’t normally see me sparring with anyone and they also want to see what you can do.”
She was silent for a moment with her finger to her lips. “Umm, I guess that makes sense.”
I sighed, well that didn’t work. I only agreed to let the others watch because I thought it would scare her into not wanting to do this anymore! Dammit, when I made that stupid bet I honestly didn’t think she would agree to it! I’m so stupid! I should have known she would have agreed to this!
I glanced behind me to check on her again and she was so stunning with her hands behind her back and her eyes were shining brightly as she walked with a bounce to her step. I stopped in my tracks and she ran right into the back of my leg. She glanced up at me curiously, “why did you stop? Are we here?”
I shook my head, “no, not yet but I stopped because I don’t want to do this anymore.” I announced out loud to her seriously.
“To do what anymore?”
“This fight. You don’t seem to be nervous or scared which means you have a whole lot of confidence in your ability to beat me or your just-just. . I don’t know! I just don’t want to do this anymore! I’m so scared that I might hurt you or worse, if I end up hurting you. You’ll grow to fear me.” I whispered, clutching my fists tight. “I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want you to grow to fear me. I just don’t want to do this anymore.”
She smiled softly, “we don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.” She announced sweetly, looking up at me with her eyes closed.
“Oh, thank god.” I breathe in a sigh of relief. “Let’s just head back then and do whatever you want to do today.”
She nodded her head, “sure, but that just means I win by default.”
I froze in place, “no, it just means no one won.”
“A bet is a bet and if you don’t want to spar with me, then that means I win.” She said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, turning her back on me but I ran in front of her to stop her in her tracks.
