EIJI

"Hey?" Yoshiko approached and I stopped swinging the swing on my own.

"Yeah?"

"You are here again, should I tie that swing to you?" What a nonsense thinking asshole I cursed through my mind as I dart glares towards him.

"Damn Eiji even if you have that cold expression sometimes you still look handsome and tempting" what on the word he saying?

"Got nothing good to say scram jerk I'm not interested in it" I scuff.

"Come on lovely boy don't be so irritated" my fingers run through my hair as I let out a deep breath.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Got a letter for you from an eagle messenger" he handed me a pure green envelope.

"From who?"

"Sachiko, we got one too" Sachiko?

"What does it say?" Why am I asking anyway? He went to the other swing and seated there.

"Nothing much she just apologized for leaving without a word and appreciated mom and dad for taking care of her here and wishing she'll see us again one day. How about yours?" I opened the envelope and inside is a carnation paper.

"It says, Thank you for your time touring me around the Montromey Kingdom and sorry for leaving saying no words and bid goodbye. I wish to see you again one day to formally apologize, anyway that poem you said is something that bothers me. I didn't know either I know that poem or did I read somewhere that is why I felt chilled for a moment in shock the moment you recited it. 

The beauty of the sky is unparalleled like you that is unmatched by anyone.

The twinkling of the star, the light of the moon, the rising and setting of the sun, the dancing of the clouds in the sky. It gives irresistible beauty just like you gives joy and happiness, you are the sky to a silent heart."

I froze eyes sticking to the paper as I felt chills inside me. H-how did she know the continuation of that poem I recited to her?

"Wait isn't that the last part of your poem titled SKY? Did you tell her that?" I did but not the whole.

"I only said the half of it but how did she know the other half? This last part? Only you, me, and that girl I played with when I was a kid know this poem" why? How? I never mentioned this poem to anyone ever since I turned teen. Yoshiko still remembers this he heard it from me when we were nine-year-old kids.

"Didn't you say that childhood playmate of yours name is Sachiko? Maybe it is her" I doubt that.

"But her last name is not Walter, in this world, there are a lot of beings having the same name" it can't be her.

"But she knows that poem" 

"And that is bothering" 

"Or she could have said it to her friends and then it spread like a wing blowing wind in the air and passes around the whole galaxy, you know how wind work" pfff haha.

"What are you laughing at?" Can't help but laugh about what he said.

"Dude you are starting to become a poetic sorry but umm I can't stop but to giggle and laugh. Spread like a wing blowing wind in the air and passes around the whole galaxy. That's pretty good huh" so amazing actually.

"Stop teasing let's get back to our topic" he nag and pouted tch really handsome even if he is pouting.

"I gave her a tip-off but she only crack it" so it can't be her.

"Let's just ask like what if okay? Just what if? What if she changed her last name? That poem of yours can't reach the galaxy you know" got the point. But he got a point what if that Sachiko from my childhood recited this poem to her friends then her friends recited to their friends and the line goes on and ended that this Sachiko Walter happens to hear it or read it.

"And that is the whole thing about all of it. That day your watchman brought her here? Seeing her condition almost killed me inside, the pain of having a sore wound? I suddenly felt the longing, that pinch in my heart that can't be explained, it's losing the lucidity of my single-mindedness" 

"Then it might be her" he declared.

"Maybe or not, or just maybe I'm pitying her with the situation she had that time it's a blessing that she survive whatever happened to her" my childhood playmate is someone I can recognize while the Sachiko I met this past few days is hard to understand who she is.

"Sometimes fate can be cruel, it will make you ride it leading to a wrong approach. It feels like it is playing with your heart, you will meet someone and you wish and hope that it is the right person you have been looking for then suddenly truth explode like a grenade exposing it is the wrong person" he stated full of emotion. I guess he is right.

"But sometimes it is not only the fate that can play cruelty against us, but it is also our heart and mind too. Fate lead while our heart and mind expects it, we also hope that it is the right person" I added. If only cruelty isn't real then maybe it is okay.

"I see so that is why no matter how I search inside the entire palace I can't find both of you because you are here emoting like a girl's" a familiar female voice interrupted our conversation.

"Hey wazzup, beautiful" Yoshiko greeted and wink while the girl came and stand in front of us crossing her arms.

"Eww stop flirting with your cousin Yoshiko that is disgusting" Kline leered like Yoshiko's words and actions are creepy to hear and see. I see nothing wrong with what he said for me he appreciated her beauty, oh well we can't state one's feelings and understanders anyway.

"So mean" Yoshiko mumbled and pouted tsk he doesn't have to show his handsomeness even if he is pouting.

"Heard what you said and anyway stop being emotic here. Yeah, we know that you Eiji has a childhood playmate named Sachiko while you Yoshiko has a missing sister who also happens to have the same name Sachiko" she started to scold us again. Sister? Ah yes, that makes sense why she said those words a while ago I almost forgot he has a sister.

"Emoting here won't solve that problem of yours and that Sachiko Walter is not the person you both are longing for" she added. Wow, she's being practical and means now, I or we can accept that only if it isn't that mean.

"That hurts, how can you hurt us with your words you are not even sure if you are correct" Yoshiko noted while I shut my mouth. See he was hurt well I am too but I don't wanna hear any mean words again so better shut my mouth.

"Do you want me to elaborate on all my proofs?" She questioned. And what proof does this girl has?

"Go on I'm curious about it" Yoshiko eyed me for what I said.

"Don't look at me like that" I imply.

"Okay as you say so then,

First, Eiji's childhood playmate is a human isn't she?" Uh?

"Yes she is"

"Second, Your sister is a royal blooded wolf a daughter of a royal lycoan and alpha" makes sense.

"So?" by his reaction and the way he asked I know he doesn't want to believe that second reason Kline stated.

"So Sachiko Walter is neither your sister nor Eiji's childhood playmate because thirdly, she isn't a human or a wolf" then what is she?

"What do you mean?" Yoshiko ask.

"I can't sense any human or wolf in her being, when she was brought here last month I know you smelled her blood too. In her blood is something that keeps her away from who she is. Her actual scent and her blood scent are different" she has good observation and sense.

"The scent of her blood is something that disrupting her true identity to envisage"

"But isn't the smell seems familiar?" I questioned Yoshiko after hearing his opinion.

"Seems it is but can't point what is it," he said and started riding the swing.

"How about you?" Kline raises her brow like a witch oh shitting hell.

"I'm just asking here" I cleared.

"No idea" 

But I swear the whiff of her blood is something familiar. 

"Argh, this is driving me crazy" complaining like it's the end of truth tsk come on self since when did you give up something important?

"You will end up like a crazy psychopath you know" Kline sneered. What is wrong with this girl?

"Wait are you angry?" Confused, I ask her.

"Does it look like I am?" She answered irritated.

"You disdain Sachiko don't you?" 

"Shut the hell out Eiji tsk" without any other words she left pissed off. I just shrugged looking at her walking away. Is my way of asking wrong? Or the question itself is wrong?

"Look at that cousin of yours acting as I did her something bad" Yoshiko cackled like I'd said a funny word.

"What?"

"You know her so why ask me that?" Know her?

"Dude that's normal of course I know her"

"You don't get what I mean" hmm?

"Then what is it?"

"She likes you for a long time of course it's a normal thing to act like that. We are talking about Sachiko and that made her jealous" okay?

"Well thanks for liking me but she also knows me" or she's ignoring it?

"You are still tied with that childhood playmate of yours" na ah.

"Part off but not totally because of it, I don't feel any liking for her and others like her. It is normal to have a crush or liking for a certain person but I never had to feel it. Mom tried to pair me with some girls but the feeling is something like disgust or what but not with the person, all I feel is I wanted to stay away from them" I also don't understand myself either.

"Are you even normal?" This guy argh.

"Want me to show you how abnormal I am?" I glared at him but he chortles which I quickly look away. Tss why does he have to act like this?

"Come on relax" how can I relax now? My mind is filled with questions that needed answers.

"If you got nothing good to say then scram" hiish.

"No, I'll stay by your side no matter what" hearing his words lighted me but freaking the system of mine.

"Are you proposing to me?" 

"If so then will you say yes?" Fudge.

"Stop making fun of me Yoshiko, you're breaking the delight" that hurts more than anything.

"Sorry but I'm not this is serious" serious? Is it true? I look at him and meet his eyes looking at me. The way he looks at me, full of sincerity and purity.

"Eat your tongue?" He asks, well can't find any words to say.

"Come follow me," he said as he stand up grabbing my hand pulling me somewhere.

"You are confused and that is because you don't understand what you want but as I have said I am here by your side" what is he talking about? He stopped in his garden and went to a row of white flowers and picked three of them before he comes back and handed them to me.

"Three for I love you and the color represents how sincere I am. What I have said is pure from the bottom of my heart" after saying those he hugged me while I remain silent in shock.

Does he love me? What the hell is this? My heart beats so fast and I can't do anything but feel its beating.
