Cai Yan sat, playing the mournful song with her guqin; The Burnt Tail (Jiao Wei). As to its signature name, this guqin has the burnt mark on its part due to her father; Cai Yong purchased the parasol wood for the material when the owner was about to use them as firewood. (But… that is an old story that the author repeatedly recount back in the early chapter of this fanfic. So beat it). Perhaps if you want to compare it, nowadays Cai Yan's guqin will worth the same as Amati's violin.

As she traced, the strings… producing the melodious sound… unknowingly her tears drop to her cheeks..

"By day trudging along in sobs and tears... By night sitting awake in grief and fear. Unable to long for swift death for no strand of rope. Unable to long for decent life for no remains of hope."

The tears falls to the string, which stopped her finger. She stopped and used her finger tips to clean them... and resume playing. Though her voice become coarse, she persist to continue.

"Oh... gracious heaven, what have I done to deserve this wretched fate?"

Then, with one knock, both her hand beat the guqin… an act which can not reduce her discontent. Her sorrow can not be hidden as she lay her body at the burnt zither.

Whispering her thought in grief, she questioned herself as she call for the name of someone who already gone. "Yang-darren…? Why…?" While hugging the zither, Cai Yan spoke in grief.

"You know that I would rather follow you anywhere, serving you for the rest of my life…. Why did not you let me do that? If I know what you are thinking… I would not be willing to live in this golden cage…."

As her mind was fleeting to him… she suddenly recount a tale of a famed musician like her…. Who found someone who really understand him…. but alas…. Forced to be separated by fate.

She thus rose up, recalling the story and played the tune of the song "High Mountain and Flowing Water" (Gaoshan Liushi).

The first tune felt calm and set ease to her mind… as her thought wander to the scenery which the song depicted. As the string was firstly being plucked… it produce a calm noble sound… the firm and clear noise its produce remind the listeners of the scenery of high mountain of Taishan.

To those who could have listened to its beauty, perhaps this little girl could brought them the illusion of Mount Tai stood majestically, among the surrounding scenery around Yanzhou. No wonder the Sage Confucius himself remarked "Climb the mount Tai and you will see the world looked small." As mentioned in Meng Zi (Book of Mencius).

No wonder that when the composer; Yu Boya a minister from the state of Jin (The last days of the Spring-Autumn Period) played this song in the middle of the forest… the listener and appreciator who is a woodcutter; Zhong Ziqi upon listening it, remarked.

"So beautiful! How noble and high, like the scenery of the Mount Tai! You sir, must been thinking of the High Mountains when you played this tune!"

Another tune were then played….

This time it sounded rapid, fast and flowing…. It washed away the appreciators' feeling… the range of tune was wide… the finger plays was so fast that it is hard to stop gazing it without blinking and missed it…. The tune played from the song let us sink deeply into the feeling of musician….

Reminding us the fierce waves of deep river… the tune and plays was flowing smoothly captivating mind and our five senses… made us could forget our surrounding… like a fish being submerged deep into the water. Hence the reason upon hearing this next verse being played by Yu Boya; Zhong Ziqi remarked.

"So beautiful and captivating! Like the flow of big river waters… capable of drowning the listeners mind! You sir must have thinking of the Flowing Water this time!"

When they met each other, Cai Yan was greatly attracted by Kazuto…. by when he saved her from the frosting land of the barbarians…. Cai Yan's jumped with joy…. Though Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi were bound by the friendship of close friend who can understand each other, Cai Yan was bound with respect and admiration to Kazuto. And thought it might be not as strong as how other girls who are closer to him, but Cai Yan did not have any thought to give up this small attachment she has.

When Zhong Ziqi dies, Yu Boya felt great sorrow of this loss. Only now, Cai Yan can finally relate and understand Yu Boya's feeling. Seeing that the only person who cares and treat her kindly has gone and not even thinking to left any words… made her felt hurt.

Then, like Yu Boya in the past…. she took a dagger from her sleeves…. And with pained heart and sorrowful feeling cut them off …. Severing the zither's strings… the seven stringed guqin was now without its cords… and not a single tune can be played by now. With a heart broken, she then raised the string-less zither…. And just like Yu Boya of the past, smashing it on the ground…. and shattering it into pieces… With cries that can not even ease her sadness… No more sound of music can heal her pained heart.

Uncaring of the smaller fragments of the broken zither…. Cai Yan recall that Yu Boya once remarked;

"Without Zhong Ziqi who can appreciate my play; there is no use on playing anymore."

Cai Yan who has made up her mind then, stood from her seat…. And leave this huge building left for her and walked to the Sima Clan's residence.

With the zither was destroyed, the Phoenix Tails grows cold.

Now Ziqi is dead and for whom I should play this zither?

Selfishly proclaiming themselves as friends while showing off smiles

Yet… To seek for a true friend is extremely difficult.

Boya reciprocate friendship even after death parts them.

Their tales are eternal in the fragments of broken zither.

Yi was surprised by her sudden visit. Though she felt elated that this talented girl would seek her, her mind raced on what is her purpose for this sudden visit.

"Actually… besides thanking for relaying Yang darren's message… I am here with ulterior motive."

Laughing for a while, Yi continues.

"Aiya...~h, I only knew you as an innocent young girl whom Kazuto saved... But who would expect that you conceal this kind of 'thorn'!" Yi amusingly jested.

"Kazuto?" Cai Yan asked in displeasure hearing Yi mentioned a strange and unfamiliar name.

"Hmm...? of course it is your precious Yang-darren's manna. Did you never know of it?"

"Why did...?" Cai Yan remained silent by this revelation.

"Don't feel too bad. I know of his by coincidence." Yi remarked after seeing her response. "He never told anyone, obviously."

"I see…" Cai Yan then lowered her head as contemplating the name she just heard.

Though, Cai Yan looked at Yi with scorning gaze, after hearing this information made Cai Yan felt grateful to her. And then, she silently whispered his name to herself as if treating of it as something precious and fragile.

"… On another thing… do you remember when Yang Darren… brought me here for a visit?" Cai Yan asked, as Yi tried to think about it… suddenly Yi looked as if she remember them

"Ah..."

"If Young Master Sima recall, while Young Master Sima were having private conversation, you directed me to your private library. I was back then perplexed by the numbers of your collection and the various and rich subject that those shelves contained."

"Hmm… well…" Yi still see her as she is implying something.

"Though I enjoyed reading about the musical subject, various rare collection of poetry that you possessed…. I was actually distracted by one of the title which you hid in the inner shelves of your library…. It was an advanced medical subject which not even from the most secret schools from the Hundreds Schools of Thought has the capability to cover and mastered."

Yi stood up, she looked startled as she notices and understand what she is trying to imply.

"Miss Cai, forget about it. A beautiful girl like you has very bright future…. Are you going to sacrifice and bet on something that all of the person of this era unable to comprehend?"

Silence for a while between them, while they exchange sharp glance…. The upset looks and expression of Yi did not cease. Finally, Cai Yan broke of the cold stillness.

"…. Jing Ke failed to assassinate the First Emperor of Qin…. And he died because of it. Knowing of this news did not make his best friend; the famed musician Gao Jianli to be upset. Though knowing that it is impossible, he carry on the failed mission that Jing Ke tries to deliver uncaring of the risk…. And bravely took it on himself."

"Gao Jianli still failed his attempt, and executed by the First Emperor of Qin later." Yi coldly remarked.

"I am not talking about the success… even a weak musician like Gao Jianli would sacrifice himself due to honoring friendship and loyalty to someone who mattered to him. Am I not the same of his situation?"

"Very well… But do you have the necessary ingredient?"

"I always serve Yang… Kazuto-sama with utmost care … of course I have the chance to secretly take something from him… even a strand of his hair matter most to me."

Yi looked on her with mixed expression of disgust and disbelief on seeing how far Cai Yan would think of Kazuto. Conceding to Miss Cai's wish… she then relented.

"Very well, then. Do as you please."

"I am eternally grateful." Cai Yan smiled and resumed "I want young master Sima first to explain to me about the meaning of the technical term to make me understand of it…. The subject of reading which distracted me back then was…."

"In Vitro Fertilization"

Kazuto felt his burden was lifted. After burning incense to all past comrades who dies for him from making journey around to visit their tombs…. He felt really grateful thought their bond and friendship was but limited… He had the chance to know them… deep in his heart… the only regret he has was for not doing enough to save them and thus letting them dies….

Kazuto, feeling melancholic after strolling around and prays to them…. He reminds himself that his time is limited after consuming the last dosage of the suppressant. That is why he remind himself to make swift journey with his fast horse that he bought.

"Ren… Nenene…. Hua Xiong…. Everyone of the Elite Xiliang…. Dian Wei, Yuan Shao… everyone of the Cao Cao's force who felled in combat….." Kazuto thought….

Having visiting them on… he thus continues his journey southward to visit the last person who matter the most to him.

However… from Zhongyuan to Jingzhou was proven to be very far journey…. It is really different when he still used the artifact "Red Hare (Chi Tu Ma)" that allow him to traverse in short time.

But Kazuto did not try to be in hurry, because he had finished in visiting all his fallen comrades… and this only left that girl… who was buried in a very far distance …. As he make his journey, passing the beautiful scenery around the lush area in Jingzhou… his heart was stirred as he remember the time he spend living here, the three of them at the desolate place in Longzhong.

Kazuto sighed as he was being reminded…. Perhaps he should have tried to appreciate this beautiful place, in his stillness when no worldly matters bothering him

Ah…The curvy brook and the green hill nestled around this village….

The blue sky and the smell of flower fragrance surrounding the air…

Ay…. How can I not yearn of you?

In that unforgettable small village… we once shared our passion;

Toward each others, we shared that moment….

Repeatedly I asked myself, how often that…

How often that I missed you? How often that I longed for you?

Because… You always haunt me in my dreams.

Kazuto felt captivated as he mounted on the horse…. Appreciating while his mind wandering. Though the panorama looks beautiful, his stomach does not think that it could fill him.

Hence, he stopped at the small shack before entering the deep, isolated place.

XXX

He then stopped by at the small shack, and ordered a pot of Freshly infused Wu Long Tea. Kazuto as he seated down, counted how much money he brought with him…

"Well… enough for several days of life."

After giving most of his possession, wealth including gift from Karin and distributed them to both Cai Yan and Ei-chan… he still store some for himself as a journey expense. He used some to buy fast horse and now is thinking how much he should spend now… seeing this is his last days before the disease acting up, without any way to stop and cure him. He expect that he is beyond help and thinking to spend this last few more hours to pamper himself with good food and expensive tea.

Too bad that in this small tea house, there is only few variety of expensive tea… but to his bliss, there are many variety of snacks and meals. "Not bad…. Though it is not Biluochun or Longjing for this final meal, I had many foods to satiate it."

(This kind of feeling when I describe tea reminds me of when I watch Rozen Maiden and fall in love with how they looked as if enjoying each of the cups)

The thin vapor arose when the tea was poured to the cup, and its fume and aroma filled Kazuto's nose. The cheery sound when the droplets of tea water contained in each cup was like a music being played to his ears. And enjoying the small air bubbles surfaced on the tea water was kind of relaxing scene to him…. With a beautiful pale green color of the water started to fill his cup.

Even during his despairs, this scene to him was like a little consolation to his loneliness and vain hope of someone that will be there for him. Even the numerous plates of snacks on the table can not comfort him. No matter how delicious it looked like.

Kazuto take and enjoyed them… however… no matter how the tasty feeling filled his mouth, he can not ease his burden… knowing this is the last time he can enjoy them, who knows later or even tomorrow.

As he was musing on it, he did not realize that a travelling musician asked to be permitted to play inside the shack.

Munching on them, pouring the tea whenever he ran out of them…. It was like a meaningless repetition. The sweet nian gao, tanghulu, the tasty tangyuan, was passing to his mouth without he is able to appreciate the feeling and the taste. As he was deep on though… a sorrowful sound could be heard. His mind felt vexed and he looked from where it is coming from.

He then saw….. A female musician, with kinda blonde hair fiddling an erhu (two stringed Chinese violin) singing a sad sorrowful tune. Seems like this female travelling musician was entertaining them to collect money, with a little girl waiting beside her….

Ah…. A mother and daughter… Kazuto remarked to himself. Though the woman playing the erhu seems to be a mother, and judging from their appearance…. With one glance one may mistook them as common poor entertainer, however Kazuto with his perverted eye … (are you serious you are dying, dude?) managed to distinguish… though veiled by their shabby appearance which might not interest anyone, he deduce that the woman is a stunning beauty and still look plenty young that you might mistake her as the elder sister of the little girl.

However, due to their shabby and uninteresting poor looks, the female erhu player looked as plain and disorderly… perhaps this was also due to her not having time to beautify herself. Kazuto then turned to himself…. well… he should not meddle with others business…

As he pour a new cup, appreciating the tangy and strong taste its left on his tongue, the impression of newly picked herbs filled him as his mind felt invigorated by the taste…. Then… while pondering on… The female erhu player strung the fiddle….

Start to play a new song…..

As the first tune being played…. The heart touching sound which is the main characteristic of erhu quickly captivated the heart of its listener…. Suddenly, Kazuto felt like he was brought into his deepest memory…. Of someone….

Reminding him of the beautiful scenery and passion which he shared with her …. The overflowing tune its produced made her recall her face so suddenly, and unexpectedly… which made Kazuto himself stood up….

Part of him, felt he recognized this song's tune….

It was quite similar with the famed erhu's piece composed by the famed blind erhu player; Ah' Bing or Hua Yuanjun. A song full of heart breaking sorrow each time the tune was being played, each string being fiddled…. Whenever the bow strung on the cords… despite it's romantic name. A beautiful music piece which even Japanese Conductor, Ozawa Seiji praised as "One should kneel down whenever they listen to it!"

Moon Reflected on Second Spring (Erquan Yingyue)

The tune was vaguely similar with this, and even with partial similarity between them…. Both song successfully stole his heart and attention, and he was suddenly pushed to the deep of his mind… his deepest thought.

Her face come to mind, once again haunting him… this yearning made him wanting to quickly left and go to see her, to settle his mind. The sadness and sorrowful tune of this music remind him of her beauty…. (go see the youtube if you don't believe. I only write what I hear).. and when this song stopped…. His tears can not be stopped.

That feeling that is as sweet as honey; so is your pleasant smile.

Just like the way my flowers blossomed in the spring breeze.

I wonder where on earth that I've seen you previously?

Where can I find that familiar similar smile for once again?

Because I already forgotten of it, perhaps lost in my idle wandering

Ay…! Perhaps I only dreamt of her loveliness in my wishful thinking.

XXX

After the basket was passed around, wishing for the stranger's kindness (funny, this remind me of Marge Simpson playing Streetcars named Desire…. The last phrase felt heart wrenching and touching)…. Kazuto returned and passed along the basket after filling it with one big piece of gold (to explain, the other contained chopper coins). He then resumed eating his snacks which he ordered and muttering to himself in renewed vigor.

"Though this might be my last days…. At least I am grateful that a beautiful song was played for me. I am really grateful."

While he busy pouring tea, with a snack in his other hand…. That female erhu player's daughter was standing before him, staring at him blankly. Kazuto was surprised and asked himself.

"What!? Why is this girl…." He then turned to where her gazes are directed. Kazuto turned and realized that she was eyeing for his snack. He felt that this is amusing and turned away which made the girl's gaze pursues wherever it goes.

Then, knowing that the girl seems to be envious of his snack, he then called her and offered to him some (Pedo). The girl looked cheerful and brighten. Bowing in thanks, she then goes to her mother. While Kazuto resume his eating once again.

Seems that the mother finished in passing around the basket, and she walked to where Kazuto is seated.

"Umm…"

Kazuto looked and sees that the girl's mother looked at him shyly. "Thank you for giving my daughter…"

Kazuto thinly smiled and spoke "Don't mention it. It was my fault to order too much." He then patted the girls head, kindly speaking. "Do you want more?"

The mother however tries to refuse out of courtesy on contrary to the girl who felt thankful "Eh!? No, that is too much. Please don't bother."

"No, that is okay… I can't finish this alone after all… they will go to waste."

"But.." The young mother looked shy on Kazuto's treatment…

"Why don't you take seat? It is bothersome to standing there, right?"

"No! I should not impose you anymore…! Beside you given me too much." The young mother seems to know that Kazuto dropped the single gold nugget into her basket when she passed them along the table. "This is too much for us, mister should not bother…"

"No, that is okay. I really like your erhu play… and the song…. It reminds me of something that was lost to me…. That is why giving that small amount is nothing compared to it."

"But…"

"Actually, If you think that it is too much for you… can I ask something selfish from you?" Well… though the young mother is a MILF… in a tamer sense compared to Shion and Kikyou…. But that doesn't mean…. "Can you play that song once again? With several change of tune according to my direction." (What are you spouting for, Narrator? Thinking something perverted?) No, sorry.

The young mother was brightened and appreciated. She readily played the song. Hence, Kazuto taught her the correct version of Ah Bing's Moon Reflected on Second Spring (Erquan Yingyue).

For the stars and for the moon; who shall witness it forever…

Hence, please embrace my hand, caress it intimately.

My heart that I reserved only for you….

Until the end of my day, I shall surrender it to you

XXX

"Ah… it is really beautiful… I feel refreshed." Kazuto rose up from his table, asking the waiter to get the bill. After paying them, he then readily departed. Having entertained by such beautiful song made him recall that no matter what, at least he should go to where she waits him.

Calling the female travelling musician, they thus bids each other farewell… "I am thankful for your song… it is really heart touching."

"Gentlemen sir is very kind. I, mother and daughter felt indebted… Even during this hardship knowing such fine and kind gentlemen made me raise my hope for this era." Her daughter tightly grabbed her hand.

"Don't mention it… but why are you travelling around instead of staying at your own home?"

"Actually I am not really a musician. I was once a wife … now a widow due to the fierceness of this period. My late husband died in war… Alas… why do we have to live in turmoil…" The female musician sighed. "Thinking of it… this war also made all my family separated, with our parents dies; my two sisters wer lost during the confusion of wars."

Kazuto pitied her "… I felt sorry on your hardship"

"Thank you, but I did not give up hope. I have found my youngest sister; she is trying her best to learn many skills to swiftly end this chaos… I was once had that same feeling with her before giving up my scholarly for my husband."

"Oh… so you sisters are scholar?"

"Well… I don't think we are that capable to be addressed as Confucian Scholar." The young mother laughed on her predicament.

"No wonder you can play erhu that well, you mastered Five Literary Classic (Shujing, Shijing, Yijing, Liji, Chun Qiu) and Four Book of Confucian (Lun Yu, Meng Zi, Zhong Yong, Da Xue)." Kazuto remark in admiration. "But it is a pity to be able to learn that much without any chance to use it."

Kazuto then wrote some kind of recommendation letter to her "If you are interested, please show this letter into the residence of the Sima clan. They can help you give you recommendation to Lord Cao"

"Eh? Lord… Cao? The Prime Minister!?"

"Yes… I was acquaintance of the Sima clan. This introductory letter might help you if you are interested." Kazuto smiled, seeing the bewildered and surprised looks on her.

"Also… Here several gift as gratitude for that previous song." Kazuto then shoved all his remaining money and horse to her. He also took a beautiful compartment which was given by Erika to him.

"Here, please take this as my appreciation to your play."

"But… This is too much, gentleman sir should not have…"

Kazuto only laugh and say. "Why would a dead person like me need that much money… you should use them for yourself..." The total amount of money that Kazuto gave is more than enough to feed a family of five for one year (I love…. When there is no inflation on money's value, I love more when I have lot of money at that situation.)

While, The young wife female musician was shocked and confused by his meaningful remark, Kazuto already goes far leaving her…. The travelling musician could only shook her head in disbelief on this sudden encounter.

"He should have told me of his name…." The young wife having felt attraction to him, then regretly sighed.

XXX

Kazuto then walked, with a lot of expectation when he reached that place….

Would she wait for his appearance when he reached there…. She standing by before the stone, turning her back on him… slowly turning over herself and finally seeing her… after separating for long.

"Speaking of which… would she changed so much that I might fail to recognize her?" Kazuto giggled, fantasizing what she would looked like as she .

Perhaps she will become taller, much more beautiful as in mature manner….

Her hair growing longer…. Are you still as lovely as back then?

Speaking of which I am kind of intrigued… where did you go?

Would your character changed? From being quiet and bashful into cheerful?

Perhaps she would become a bit plump, adding to her sweetness?

But most importantly….Would she be forgotten about him?

As he traced the path to reach the desolate stone, numerous thought haunt him. These kind of thought honestly frighten him, but no matter, as he come closer to that place… he felt amused and impatient of the curiosity. "Perhaps she will felt offended if I tell him of those random thing."

As his steps was driving faster and faster, with his longing …"Right… perhaps she is waiting for me there…. At least I want to see her for the last time, even from afar."

The Desolate stone….. remained still… as if being untouched…. And not a single presence remained or not even there are any trace of someone going there… except for the weeds which seems to be regularly cleaned.

Kazuto thought to himself, despite the disappointment "Well… perhaps she is coming late. Girls are prone to be tardy" Oikawa spoke of that… in his own laughter. He then thought that he should wait here, in conspicuous place so that they would not standing up each other and won't mistake others places.

"I should be patient… Yue would never stood up anyone… If she says she is coming, she will."

Kazuto hummed to pass the time, as fall down and take a seat beside the lonely stone…. "I still have plenty of time… that does not matter." Kazuto smiled in the prospect someone will come for him.

The yearning start to felt hurt, not knowing whether it is from his own feeling or the pain inflicted by the disease….

XXX

However…

All the hopes are in vain.

For the whole day he kept looking at the lonely stone with the rough inscription of her name. He caressed the stone and the character carved on it, waiting impatiently for something in his own false hope.

Wishing that she will arrive soon.

He stopped and leaned beside the stone when the sun sets, and he doesn't seems to be willing to leave this desolate place.

As he looked in despair to the setting sun, and the moon slowly rose until it was high above him.

It was still a beautiful sight like one that he once shared with Karin-san. But he was oblivious of it as his heart turn frozen. Only the indignation that kept him awake.

You fool, why would you still keeping this false hope? She is indeed gone right? And those girls lied to you to spare your feeling. Why would you still stupidly clinging to their lies?

Kazuto felt miserable of that thought.

Then suddenly in his lonely thought, he recalled how long have passed since he left her here in this place, alone.

Though she always make pretense of being strong, yet she was just a fragile and frail girl with demure looks.

His heart broke when he recall her.

"Hongou Kazuto! You are fool! You are the biggest moron ever lived! How could you ignore her feeling when she needs you the most besides her?" Kazuto shouted, cursing himself.

This feeling of self loathing does not even satisfy him for a bit.

"Why? Why did you have to go? I... I have not known you better... I should have always stayed beside you, no matter what. Even if only mere few days was all that remains between us..."

Kazuto sighed…. His mind wandering…

"Yue... you disappeared without any trace. I have waited here in my vain hope of my remaining life. Yet, there is no sign of you. I realized it today, that ... you have indeed gone and ... there is never any hope that you are alive since the beginning. All those lies are for sparing my feeling. I am thankful for your kindness… Yet... I have left you here... alone in this desolate place." Kazuto coughed, with blood started to flows from seven holes of his head "Weren't you lonely?"

Kazuto smiled in his weakness.

"Don't worry. i will accompany you soon. That is why... please wait for me."

Later on, Kazuto felt that he is too exhausted and a bit sleepy. He later closes his eyes and fallen to slumber, leaning himself to that stone which supported his own body. His face looked content and satisfied for everything that he had experienced from the beginning until this day.

Kazuto, have you already fallen into deep sleep?

Then, please take a rest…. May you have a sweet dream tonight. Because a curtain has fallen to end your role as Yang Xiu, and… let the lonesome noise of the night bug accompany your end of journey.

They say life flashes before your eyes, once again just before you die.

So they can torment you once again, with your deepest regrets.

For the last time.

XXX

My beloved, please don't miss me and please don't blame me.

I'm leaving.

Because I realized it, as there is encounter there is bound to be separation.

As the sun can be eclipsed, so is the moon can wane.

Yet, I still remember the time that we once shared.

To this day I still fondly remember of your kindness.

And I will always treasure your honest words and feelings.

"I don't need Zhao Feiyan, because the moon shines for me, accompanying my lonely heart."

Yet my glows have waned. And it would pain me so if your heart turned cold of it.

I pray that you will find in the future, a girl who is so luminously lovely that the moon itself would shy away in embarrassment when compared to her face.
