No words were spoken for a while. Saika and Fujin just fell silent and stared at each other.
"Go back with me. I'll protect you." Fujin finally broke the silence.
But Saika had not yet answered him, suddenly a signal from the demon clan began to be emitted from an object that was always carried by Saika. Marking Saika must immediately return to the hideout of the demon clan during these 19 years.
"I have to go!" saika immediately got up from her seat.
GRATN ...
Fujin restrains Saika's wrist and manages to hold her back.
"Saika! Think again! That place is very dangerous. Don't get involved with them anymore. Stay and come back to us. I promise to protect you!" fujin said he hoped Saika would change her mind.
"You can protect me. Then will you also be able to protect some of the good people who are still with them? Other than my mother .. there are still some good and weak people with them. I can't leave them. Because all this time they have been like my family." said Saika honestly.
"Let me go .." he added still staring at the door.
"How could I let you go a second time? I've even promised in the past to find you! Saika .. think carefully ..."
Saika was silent for a while and started to feel pain in parts of her body.
"Damn! It's time for this poison to react again! I have to face prince Kenshin immediately to get the antidote!" inward Saika starts to brush off Fujin's hand because she has no other choice.
"Selica!!"
"I'm sorry .. but all that was just your promise in the past. There are still people I need to protect. And I prefer them .. Thank you for saving me. Assume we are already breakeven and do not owe each other the lives of Lavi. If we meet later on the battlefield, do not hesitate to swing your sword for me. Because I wouldn't hesitate to do the same ..."
Said Saika withstanding the tightness in her heart as well as the pain and helplessness due to the influence of a poison that would always react within 1 year. And only Kenshin has the antidote.
Just a moment ago Fujin could not detect the poison inside Saika because the poison had not yet appeared. And the poison will only appear in the time set by Kenshin, which is 1 year. And once every 1 year Kenshin will give an antidote to Saika.
The words of Saika surprised Fujin. There was a sudden feeling of disappointment and sadness that he felt. He really did not expect that Saika would make such a decision. Leaving himself back and deciding to remain an enemy. Of course it was quite stifling Fujin who had fully remembered who the real Saika was.
Saika leaves goa. While Fujin wants to hold him back and chase him back, Saika uses an illusion to hold Fujin back from being able to chase him.
"SAICA!!!"
Saika ignored Fujin's screams which several times kept calling her name. His pair of clear eyes started to look red and teary as he got further and further away from the cave.
...🍁🍁🍁...
The guard soldiers Ieyasu and Hidemitsu and Xiao Yu looked overjoyed when they finally found Fujin after a week had passed. For one week the three of them continued to search for Fujin and did not leave the Itsuki imperial territory at all.
Even Emperor Itsuki also ordered some soldiers and knights to help Fujin search.
Fujin was silent for a while and just stared at the three men before her.
"I'm doing fine. I was just meditating and doing empathy in a cave." said Fujin sober and soon passed through letiga personal guard.
"Empathy? But ... with whom?" mumbled Xiao Yu frowned in confusion.
The young man dressed in Ainu tribal race was circulating his gaze staring around, yet he did not see anyone else around this place except for them alone. And this makes him even more confused. But as Xiao Yu looked at the soldiers of Ieyasu and Hidemitsu's bodyguards, the two simply looked at each other and raised their shoulders.
They immediately proceeded to head to Itsuki's empire to apologize for not being able to attend the invitation on time. After taking a short break, Fujin and his group immediately bid farewell to immediately return to the Fumio empire.
The flat face that always looked cold and calm did not make the three soldiers of his guard think of anything and did not feel suspicious. But actually Fujin is thinking about and worrying about Saika who has taken a decision that is quite dangerous to herself and also disappointed Fujin.
...🍁🍁🍁...
Goa skulls of death, the Southern region, the mortal world.
Saika's face already looked increasingly pale and helpless. He collapsed before Kenshin due to the butterfly poison which began to decrease his body's vitality as well as his energy and chakra.
Kenshin pulled one of his lips and approached Saika. A blood-red antidote pill began to be given to Saika. Saika immediately swallowed the antidote pill and still sat down to catch her breath.
Within a few seconds Saika's body began to look better again, although her face still looked quite pale.
"Saika-Saika. Unlike usual you're so late like this to get the butterfly antidote from me. What the hell's going on? Is there anything interesting going on in the outside world until you're too late to face me?"
Said Kenshin with a cold friendly smile.
"I was wounded by the attack of Itsuki's empire. So I decided to hide and recuperate first. So I'm a little late to return." Saika said not entirely lying.
"Regarding the emergency sign of the prince .. has something very emergency happened that threatens?" saika asked back when she remembered an emergency call sign from the thing that Saika always carried with her wherever she went.
The object, which resembles a small blackish stone, will change color and emit a reddish tint when an emergency sign from Kenshin is sent for it.
"I don't know exactly how it happened. But right now the most important thing is that we must leave Goa this death skull!" kenshin said with a serious face.
"What's? But why suddenly want to leave Goa the skull of death that we've lived in for 19 years?" ask Saika astonishment.
"Because the Fumio empire already sniffed this place after your mother's death. Looks like the person who poisoned your mother back then followed her when your mother came back. Now pack your things and we'll leave this place as soon as possible!"
Kitah Kenshin stared fixedly at Saika.
"Okay, Prince Kenshin."
