Chapter 5 KS
- 1. They now sat where Sora had Leon sit behind her with his legs splayed out in front with her sitting in-between his legs and resting her head and back along his chest and stomach. He was currently playing with her hair while she lovingly draped an arm behind his head stroking his hair until she straightened up making her hair that he was playing with spill out of his hands. She looked up into his broken gray eyes with her large brown doe eyes. He always loved the way her eyes always showed her emotion no matter what it was. He was captivated by the mere idea that those eyes had held the looks of: determination, lust, love, courage, indifference, sadness, anger, and happiness. All of those feelings were just a mere circle around her core. Her core has not been found yet, but in tiny specks of light there is always darkness, The kind of darkness that her fears are: Forgetfulness, Fear it self, False hope, and sudden realizations that things aren’t always as they seem and will not always be there. He just closed his eyes and opened them again taking in the sight before him, the sun right behind them, setting, and a girl who looks like she is about to confess all of her secrets. He closed his eyes again and opened them to find that she was still there, still there waiting for him to swoop in and take her right here and now. The only thing that was stopping him were those eyes. She looked at him a moment before clearing her throat and said, “I think that you have the right to know about what has been going on, seeing as I have come of age.” Her voice dropped and a couple sniffles were let out followed by a choked sob. She ran her hands across her eyes and nose and breathed in, “I think that you should know the truth on my existence.” He looked at her like she was crazy and just pushed his feelings under the rug and nodded for her to continue. And she did so, “As you know when I was little my parents died in a car accident, but you don’t know the real reason.” She looked away from him as she continued, “I was the one that caused their deaths, me a 5 year old girl, at the time, was the cause of all of the pain and suffering after their deaths and the reason for their deaths.” She continued as she bit back a sob. He started rubbing circles on her back with a fore finger and a thumb, “I was currently at my uncle’s house, the one on my mom’s side, and well,” She said causing a moments hesitation before continuing, she had never told anyone this before, anyone but her family that is, “I had been running around with Tadashi and Takeo when I slipped and fell skidding across the grass and into a nearby pond, of course I would be the center of attention being the Princess, but they couldn’t stop me from getting seen.” She held out her hand for Leon to hold it and stood up bringing him to the water’s edge and her kneeling in the water, she for a second let go of his hand temporarily to sit in the water, she cleared her mind and had only one thought, ‘come to me by the power of the sea’. She chanted that in her head several times before the water around her was glowing a pale blue and then quickly as it had been there, it vanished.
- 2. She sat in the shallow water; with a long fish like tail only this one was elegant deep blue color. She ran a hand against her tail, softly brushing her nails over the rough and bumpy surface. The scales that were lined on the top of her tail were to cover and hide the smooth and soft scales that tended to be weak. The harder top scales shimmered with the light, making them yellow one moment and magenta another. Leon looked down at her tail awestruck still imagining how her legs had been gone in an instance. At Leon’s reluctance Sora finished her story, “Since they couldn’t get to me in time my mother and my father raced to get to my side, it had been a busy freeway where the cars just come and go, never stopping. My parents had run into the busy street and got killed instantly as a car rammed into them, the police say that my mom would have lived had it not been for the car to crush them completely,” She winced at her words. “And the rest is history.” Leon looked down at her tail and pointed at it then looked at Sora, “How?” was all he asked. “When I was an infant and had begun crawling I managed to get into a basin of water. I guess that since I was 3 months old, I was old enough to turn if that was my destiny.” She sighed and continued to the history, “Ever since the feudal era, my family has been fighting off evil spirits. So when the coming together of the warrior mermaid, Chie, and the protector of my tribe, Mamoru, there has been a prophecy that every baby born a warrior has the blood of Chie coursing through their veins, and the rest are the blood of Mamoru, even though the blood of Mamoru is normal, it is not. In the case being, Mamoru was a protector of my clan. The rest of my clan not born a warrior is a priest/priestess and protector of the warriors till they come of age.” Then Leon got what everything was about, the gathering in Japan, the reason why her cousins were here, it was all filling into place. “Was that why your aunt and uncle didn’t want you leaving Japan to come live here?” Leon asked. “No they had their own reasons, but yes they did seem to want me to stay for that reason too.” She said. She had gotten tired of using her tail and she really didn’t want to run into anyone else with her tail out in the open, so she carefully chanted aloud, “’Through the water flows a serpent, but on land the creature takes her true form.’” She repeated this ‘till her tail disappeared. She stood up and was reluctant to show any affection to Leon, but before her worries could cloud her mind, he stood at her side and pulled her to him. “I will never make you go through the misery of thinking such false accusations about your parents.” She was about to object, but he swooped in with the facts to prove his accusation, “They loved and cared for you Sora, all that they wanted to do was protect you from harm. There is no way that they want you to burden yourself with the pain from the past, they wouldn’t want you to shoulder it. It was their decision to step onto incoming traffic, not yours and not persuasion. So come here and live with me and everyone else, live and be free, not because of the memory of them, but because you want to. I want you to.” He added in a loving tone and whispered in her ear, “I love you Sora, wont you live for my sake?”
- 3. She grabbed his head in her hands and pecked his lips softly, then after a moment, Leon shifted his head causing his lips to crash on hers. His tongue darted out of his mouth and licked her bottom lip for entry, she carefully allowed him, their darting tongues intertwining and Sora mewled at the new sensation. There was a cough from behind them, and Sora blushed and tried to pull away from Leon, only to be crashed on his chest once again. She was even redder than before. Akio whistled at her and Leon then preceded to say aloud, “Nē, sora! Anata ga sono yōna kisu o suru yō ni sore o shitte ita koto wa arimasen! Watashi ni shite kudasai oshiete?” (Hey, Sora! Never knew you had it in you to kiss like that! Teach me please?) “Hey Sora?” Aoi said ignoring the slight blush that Akio’s statement caused on the magenta haired teen and ignored what Akio said altogether. “When are we gonna leave? We still have yet to see elder and he is going to be—“ “PI-ISSED” Akio and Aoi sing-songed. “Oi, quit it you too!” She yelled then sprinted to the two and whacked them on the head leaving both of their heads bruised. “Imōto!” Yelled the cousins in aggravation. Leon just smiled and laughed at the three in front of him, two burly men, one aggravated woman hitting two burly men, now two burly men whining like a baby about the woman. Who would’ve thought? He mentally shrugged and kept on laughing at their predicament.
