Moon Princess

Chapter 4's

"For me he's not a stranger. I think I knew him.."Youri approaches Ichigo and extends her hand towards Ichigo.

Ichigo looks at Youri, hesitating because for the first time Ichigo's heart is racing because of a man other than Key. During this time only Key filled his heart, no one else could fascinate him other than Key.

"Are you a demon, too?" ask Ichigo to Youri and make Youri surprised by his question.

"Do you remember the butterfly that saved you? They're not just my pets. But I'm the one who's got them."Youri spread out her hands and out came a swarm of butterflies.

This time it was not fear that haunted him, but a sense of warmth and calm encompassed his heart. There is a feeling of losing something and rediscovering it, like a longing so deep that the heart hurts. Suddenly before Ichigo's eyes was seen a woman dancing with the accompaniment of many butterflies, and a man smiling at the edge of the lotus pond while watching the woman dance.

Ichigo felt familiar with the woman, he then stepped forward and the woman turned her body. Ichigo was shocked and his tears flooded his cheeks, a sense of tightness filling his aching heart so he had difficulty breathing. How not, the woman was very similar to him. But she was as graceful and charming as the full moon shining at night.

 

"Tsukiko.." murmured Ichigo slowly.

Youri who saw Ichigo crying and mentioned the name of the woman she missed felt surprised and stepped towards Ichigo. Youi has not yet reached Ichigo, he returns unconscious. Youri catches Ichigo's body before he falls to the floor.

"What was that memory of you two?" rikuo asks after Youri re-shed Ichigo's body on the bed.

"Yes, that was when I expressed my feelings for her. It was then that the Seven Color Lotus appeared, just as the full moon was in spring." Youri recalled.

Full moon in spring? Isn't that the moment Tsukiko disappeared?"asked Rouri curiously.

Youri did not reply, she just looked at Ichigo who was lying down with a sad face. Youri rubbed Ichigo's cheek, which contained a white sheet of dried-up tears. The face he had missed for hundreds of years now appeared in front of him even from a different world, the taste in his heart was mixed.

Brakk..!!!

 

 

"Where is he..?!"grandpa said half-cried.

 

"Hey old man, who are you? How dare you break down the door of someone else's house" Rikuo asked as he pointed his finger at the old man.

 

"Is that him? Tsukiko.." said the old man in a voice that grew quieter when he saw Ichigo lying down. Rikuo and Kichiro are shocked that the grandfather mentioned Tsukiko's name.

"Hey old man, I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?!" rikuo said annoyed that the grandfather ignored him.

Rikuo did not get a word, Youri got up and let the old man sit on the edge of Ichigo's bed while Youri stood near them.

 

"Master, please sit down. Kichiro, take Rikuo to the living room."youri said.

"Good sir. Mr. Rikuo, come with me."pajak Kichiro and followed by Rikuo. The two of them left Ichigo's room towards the living room.
