Chapter 5
That night, all Yuki could see was Mayu crying, and all she could think of was Mayu speaking about her sister
“Just who is her sister exactly?” Yuki said under her breathe, Rena came in and laid down next to Yuki
“What’s the matter?” Rena said, Yuki looked at Rena and giggled
“Nothing, I was just thinking that you had flour in your hair” Rena grew embarrassed and tried to wipe it off from her hair
“Mou, you’re still clumsy as always, come on, we’re going to the onsen” Yuki got up and went over to her closet, there, she grabbed 2 pairs of ryokan nemaki, afterwards she grabbed Rena and the 2 walked over to the private onsen nearby the palace.
After finally reaching the onsen, Yuki and Rena went inside the building and soon found themselves in the warm spring water
“Ah, kimochi!” Yuki said
“Ha, that’s what she said!” Rena joked, Yuki glared at Rena and splashed her with water
“Hey!” Rena yelled out, Yuki giggled, but soon she got what she deserved
“TAKE THIS!” Rena then took a bucket full of cold water and poured it on Yuki
“EP~!” Yuki screeched out. Rena stuck out her tongue at Yuki
“MOU! I WILL GET YOU FOR THIS!” Yuki yelled at Rena, after that Yuki jumped into the sky and pounced at Rena
“Haha, I finally got you” Yuki said as she grabbed hold of Rena’s wrist
“Geez, still competitive as always Yukirin” Rena said, Yuki smirked
“And you’re still a joker, Rena” Yuki said, Rena giggled at this,
“This reminds me back when we were still kids, remember?” Rena said, Yuki let go of Rena and the 2 looked up into the starry night sky
“I GOT YOU!” young Yuki said, she was holding down young Rena
“Ow! Let go of me!” young Rena shouted
“Never! Not until you…” young Yuki said
“Oh yeah, that was the time we had our first kiss with each other” Yuki said
“It wasn’t out first kiss!” Rena called out
“Then what was it?” Yuki cooed
“I-I don’t know, but i just know that it wasn’t our first kiss” Rena pouted, Yuki giggled at Rena
“Oh well let’s leave this topic for another time, come on lets go rinse our hair” Yuki said
Jurina had a surprise look on his face
“Eh~! Oto-sama?! Oka-sama?!” Jurina yelled, “Why are you here?”
“I invited them to be here, since we have important matters to discuss” Sae said, Jurina’s parents nodded
“What important matters?” Jurina said, his father then came up to him
“Just sit down, and we will talk” Jurina did as he was told and sat down on the ground, Jurina’s parents and Sae sat down as well
“So you’re father and I have been talking, and we also talked about it to Sae-sama” Jurina’s mother said
“And we thought that it was time for you to become what your grandfather always wanted” His mother continued
“Which is what?” Jurina said, Sae looked firmly at Jurina
“Your family wanted you to become a warlord” Sae said, Jurina was surprised but yet again upset
“B-but this is all up to you” His father said, after that his mother nodded worryingly. His father looked at his wife knowing that Jurina would be pressured be this choice, so after the talk Jurina bowed towards his parents and Sae as they left and closed the doors.
After the 2 finished bathing in the onsen, Yuki went over to Mayu’s bedroom
“Mayu?” Yuki said as she entered the room, it was quiet when she came in, and she didn’t see Mayu anywhere
“Hm, She must be out right now” Yuki decided to stay in Mayu’s room for a while until she came back. An hour passed and Yuki became quickly bored
“Ugh…When will she be back?” Yuki thought, she sighed and decided to waste her time cleaning out Mayu’s room, since she can be very dirty sometimes. The first thing that Yuki cleaned out was Mayu’s wardrobe. Which was stuffed with clothes
“MAYU! Geez…What have I told you?” Yuki said out loud, soon after she started taking out the clothes in order to organize them and re-fold them, but after halfway through the mountain of clothes a small wooden box, which looked like a chest, came out from the pile
“Hm? What’s this?” Yuki thought, she picked up the box and started to examine it, after looking at the outside, it was about time she looked inside. Upon opening the box she saw a couple of fans, which were stacked upon each other, then after that she saw some hair pins, which were decorated with sakura blossoms and some jewels, next she saw 2 small letters, and next to them, she saw a knife.
“Yuki-sama?” Yuki heard this from behind and immediately she closed the box and hid it
“A-ah, Mayu?” Yuki said turning around
“Uhn, may I ask you, what are you doing?” Mayu said, Yuki freaked out
“O-OH I was j-just cleaning out y-your wardrobe” Yuki said, Mayu stared at her for a long time before shrugging her shoulders and leaving to set up the futon
“mhh...okay then, I will go set up the futon for us” Mayu said, after she left, Yuki let out a deep sigh and went back to looking at the box
“O-Okay….uhm I think I will just put the box away and I will look back at it tomorrow” Yuki thought, after that she quickly folded the clothes and put them back in the wardrobe
“I’m all done, Yuki-sama, are you coming?” Mayu asked, Yuki replied back and she walked over towards Mayu
“What took you so long?” Mayu asked while Yuki was busy getting into the futon
“You can’t rush organization” Yuki said, Mayu pouted and lightly hit Yuki before going to bed.
Over at the garden, Jurina was walking under the pale moonlight, when all the sudden he was attacked by someone
“AH!” Jurina yelled, he was trying to get his sword out but it was no use, the figure had already trapped his arms and legs
“Pay back time!” the figure said
“Hm?” Jurina said recognizing the voice
“Is that who I think it is?” Jurina said, he then shifted his entire body to where he was on top of the figure
“Rena? Why did you tackle me?” Jurina said being able to see who the figure was
“I tackled you because of what you did to me earlier” Rena said
“Huh?” Jurina said dumbfounded
“What do you mean by ‘huh’?” Rena rolled her eyes “Can you please get off of me now?”
“Ah, sure” Jurina said
“Jeez” Rena pouted
“What’s the matter?” Jurina asked
“It’s nothing” Rena sighed. Jurina looked at Rena for the longest time, and Rena felt his eyes on her
“A-ano, why are you staring at me?” Rena tried to ask but Jurina didn’t answer and just kept on staring at Rena, soon enough Jurina lifted his arm and reached out to grab Rena’s hand, she felt this and freaked out
“Wait…what’s going on?” Rena thought, Jurina then pulled Rena towards his chest and wrapped his hand around her. This made Rena’s heart pound
“Uhm…W-what are you doing?” Rena asked, Jurina just kept quiet. Afterwards Jurina loosened his grip on Rena and let go of her. He then held up a clutched fist and opened it up, and in the palm of his hand was a butterfly
“Wait, what?” Rena said, she was confused on what had happened
“A butterfly landed on your back” Jurina said grinning, he then blew lightly on the butterfly and it flew away
“You mean all this time you were just watching that butterfly?” Rena said, she sounded upset
“Basically” Jurina laughed, Rena punched Jurina as hard as she could and started to walk away
“OW!” Jurina yelled, he had a big bruise on the side of his cheek, but he ignored it and watched Rena walk off in the distance, “She’s such a tsundere…I like it” Jurina thought while he smiled
“And for a minute I thought…” Rena grumbled, but she soon started to think about Jurina holding her and her heart was starting to pound, “Ow…why does my chest hurt so much?” Rena thought
Over at Sae’s quarters, Jurina’s parents were busy talking about what’s right for Jurina
“I’d say he becomes a warlord, I mean it’s a good chance for him become a real man” Jurina’s father said
“Since when does becoming a warlord make you a real man, he should stick to being a shogun so that he can inherit this palace” Jurina’s mother said
“No one is going to inherit this palace and becoming a warlord doesn’t make a real man” Sae said
“See?” Jurina’s mother said
“I say that it is up to Jurina-sama to decided, and if he is okay with becoming a warlord, then I know a great teacher who can help him, but if he decides not to become a warlord then he can stay with me” Sae continued, Jurina’s parents looked at each other then looked at Sae and nodded.
Yuki couldn’t sleep because of the box and so she decided to take another peek at it. Quietly she got up from the futon and went towards the wardrobe, after she opened the wardrobe, she took out the box. Yuki opened the box and grabbed the 2 letters. She then unfolded one of the letters and read it
“To my dear sister,
I wonder how you’re doing. For me, I’m doing fine, I got married to Yamamoto Sayaka, and we had our first ever new born child, we named her Miya. You should stop by the house sometime, Mom and Dad miss you a lot. So you should probably write to them saying that you’re doing fine. Anyways hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Your one and only sister”
“Hmm well that doesn’t help at all” Yuki thought. She the grabbed the 2nd letter and unfolded it
“Mayu,
I have escaped off into the mountains”
“And there’s no name…great but I wonder what this letter means” Yuki thought, all the sudden Yuki heard something from behind her.
