My first fanfic of this series. It was hard... I hope everyone enjoy reading!
As usual, Eisen was in the lake at forest. He was playing his flute happily but sadly. The lake, the forest was quiet.
Everything was listening to Eisen. Eisen's melody reached until far away out of the forest.
Eisen finished playing and stared at his flute. He wishes if he was free to express his feeling like this flute. So she might notice at him.
He saw the lake and reflected his face. He suddenly blushed and whispered.
"Miko is always pretty and beautiful… I wish I could stay her side forever…"
Eisen's face was at normal. He wishes to stay her side together. But he knows he can't since he is too weak to protect her.
He knows himself a lot more than others do. He sighed. He hated himself and wanted to be a strong guy who can protect her.
When he was watching the reflected him in the lake, someone called his name.
"Eisen-san!!"
"Eh… Miko?"
Akane was gasping hard, but she continued speaking.
"I knew it…… The flute was from yours right…?"
"Ah… yes but… why are you here"
"Ah, that's because…"
When Akane was suppose to say something, two guys run down until here and shouted at Akane at the same time.
"Akane!!"
"Miko-dono!!"
"Oh, Tenma-kun and Yorihisa-san."
"What do you mean by Oh Akane? We were searching for you like hell. What are you thinking about?"
"Miko-dono. I'm allowing you so you're free to go anywhere but at least, stay where I can see you. If something happens to Miko-dono then I…"
"I'm so sorry!! I will never do it again."
Eisen envied Tenma and Yorihisa. They can actually stay with Akane and protect her since they are strong unlike Eisen.
"Oh wait. Who is that guy?"
Tenma pointed at Eisen and Yorihisa touched his sword.
"It's Eisen-san."
"Eisen…?"
"Eisen-sama!?" Yorihisa got surprised. Eisen smiled bitterly at Yorihisa.
Yorihisa asked him angrily, "Eisen-sama. You shouldn't been in here. It's so dangerous. At least, let someone accompany you until here."
"I'm sorry Yorihisa."
"So Miko-dono came here to see Eisen-sama?"
"Yup."
"By the way Miko. Where did you came from?" asked Eisen.
"Me? From that mountain. I heard your sound of flute."
She pointed at the mountain beside the forest.
Even Eisen is good at playing flute, it's so impossible to reach until inside the mountain where she was. Maybe Akane has extremely good hearing.
Suddenly, Akane hold Eisen's hand and looked him sadly.
"I heard your sound of flute and you were playing it sad. I mean, it was different from the usual one you always let me hear. What happened to you?"
Akane came here because she was worried about Eisen. When Eisen heard that, it gave him a happy smile.
"Miko, I have nothing wrong so please don't worry."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Are you really sure?"
"Yes, I'm really sure."
Yorihisa was watching at two of them and finally understand the situation and what was wrong to Eisen.
"Tenma, let's go back." said Yorihisa
"What!?" Tenma got surprised.
"I think Eisen-sama and Miko-dono needs some rest since we had hard time these days. Miko-dono and Eisen-sama can relax here and we can have some training. So let's go back."
"But I can't live Akane alone"
Yorihisa thought Tenma really does not have common sense. So he whispered in his ear.
"Can't you read the atmosphere?"
"No!" Tenma completely denied and Yorihisa sighed.
"Ok, Tenma. Then look at Eisen-sama's face."
Tenma looked at Eisen. He was blushing while talking with Akane. He seemed a girl who is in love.
Is this what Yorihisa wanted to say? Tenma didn't want to but agreed to go back with Yorihisa.
"Miko-dono, so please enjoy your time."
"Oh ok, thanks Yorihisa-san."
"No problem."
"Bye for now Akane."
"Bye-bye Tenma-kun."
So they left Akane and Eisen at the forest and went back. The forest suddenly turned in silence. Eisen didn't realize the situation at first.
Few seconds after they left, he realized that there were only Akane and him. When he thought about that, he couldn't control himself normally.
"Eisen-san……"
"Yes Miko?"
Akane went near and fall into him.
"Eisen-san…"
"Mi-mi-miko???!!!"
"..."
"… Is she… sleeping?"
Eisen heard Akane sleeping in his chest. She might be tired since she run down until here from the mountain. Eisen stared at Akane. She had beautiful sleeping face.
Eisen's hands were shaking and his breathing was really fast. He told himself to stop. But his heart would not listen. His hands slowly covered Akane.
He wished this was dream. But it wasn't. His hands totally covered Akane and hugged her tight. He wanted to hug her forever.
"I'm sorry Miko. But I can't control my feelings anymore…"
Akane was sleeping. Eisen slowly and gently kissed her while she was sleeping. His tear dropped on her face. But she didn't wake up. Eisen's heart was hurting so much.
He thought love is supposed to be happy but only gives him sorrow and pain. He now regretted what he have done to her. He whispered to himself.
You don't have to love me, you can hate me,
But please forgive me to love you…
