KOEI, you are making Hino Kahoko into an ultimate biatch...=w=

Sat, 12 May 2007 14:00:24 GMT

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
>D >D >D

I managed to make 7 guys fall in love with me in one go!!!! *cheers*
I have made Hino into an ultimate biatch~ >D

It was sooooo funny when we all were at Hihara's Birthday party, and everyone was wearing the scarf I gave, I bet you if this was in real life, this would be the situation:

Hihara: guess what, Hino game me a scarf for present.
Tsuchiura: What?? I got mine from Hino too.
Kaji: Wait, me too!
"Me too!!" X a few more times

not to mention at the end, the Christmas concert....niehehehehe >D

Amou: oh, looks like you have visitors, I better leave

[In comes Tsukimori]
Tsukimori: Kahoko, if it's okay, can I talk to you for a second before the concert?
[Tsukimori leaves]

[In comes Yunoki]
Yunoki: I got something to say to you, come out and meet me, is that understood?
[Yunoki leaves]

[In comes Hihara]
Hihara: Kaho-chan, can I talk to you in private, before the concert?
[leaves]

(repeat for the rest because I am too lazy to type it out)

Then imagine all 7 of them standing outside staring at each other.

Yunoki: How come you guys are here? (DAMMIT!!)
Hihara: hahaha, yeah...is it okay if you guys leave for a sec? (Maybe I should go to a more private place, but if I leave, Kaho-chan wont know where to find me ;_;)
Tsukimori: ............................. (Shouldnt these guys be getting ready for the concert? I should too, but I need to see Kahoko)
Tsuchiura: Tsukimori, I am surprised you have time to waste standing here. Shouldnt you be practicing the one last round? (DAMMIT! DID TSUKIMORI MAKE A MOVE ON KAHO TOO???)
Shimizu: zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz (pretend I was just randomly sleeping here)
Kaji: Fufu...It's fun to all wait together. I hope we are not waiting for the same person. (I knew Kahoko is way too popular for me....)

So on comes Hino and then imagine she is only allowed to talk to ONE according to the game.

So wouldnt it be a HELL Christmas concert for the rest of the boys????
>D >D >D

so in real life, the concert should be a failure, scoring me a rating of F XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

confession translation from Harutoki-Tomomori Version (part two)

Sat, 13 Jan 2007 06:29:35 GMT

wheee~~~

Here I come with part two of the hot hot Tomomori translation!

For part one please go to here

Err...sorry, Tomomori's story is too long, so even with part two, it's still not finished *bricked*
Maybe it was me, but I couldnt help it, and did not want to leave out any detail...hehehe...XD

So, ready? Go on and enjoy!

Part Two

Impetuous, careless, incautious, I kept thinking to myself. How could I forget what nature and characteristic this man holds? I guess it was because my companions, the Hachiyo, all treated me with civility and respect that I had neglected the fact, I was after all only a woman.　

Now with Tomomori on top of me, my entire body unable to move tied under the seal he set, my mind had become surprisingly clear. I noticed there were two distinctive feelings contradicting each other inside me. One part of me was taken by fear, mainly because what Tomomori was about to do had never happened to me before. Another part of me actually proved Tomomori to be correct. Despite the fact that I was afraid, my body actually was curious and lusted after him.

However I refused to let him know that. Noticing his other hand slipped into my garment, the warmth from his finger tips sent an indescribable sensation to my body, I struggled even harder before I fall in too deep. “Tomomori…stop it!!”

“Khe…” Tomomori sniggered and to my surprise really stopped what he was doing. “Time’s up…someone’s coming…”

“Eh?”

Unlike me, Tomomori did not flinch at all, pinning both my arms on the grass he asked purpose, his lips slid along my neck in tease, “Shall we continue, Miko-dono? I don’t mind people watching…”

“What the hell are you doing, Tomomori?!” Appearing from behind the woods, Masaomi rushed up in anger when he saw the position we were in.

Not seem the slightest intimidated by Masaomi’s tone of anger, in his usual carefree lazy tone, Tomomori moved away from me as he replied, “Isn’t it obvious…?”

“Tomomori!” Masaomi gripped onto his sword tightly, “You…”

“No, it’s okay, Masaomi!” Noticing the fury arousing in Masaomi, I struggled quickly back onto my feet and discovered; the seal Tomomori had set on me was released. “I…I am fine.”

Walking up to me, Masaomi asked in great concern, “Are...you sure?”

I did not reply immediately as I took a look at Tomomori. I knew whatever happened was a mind game Tomomori was throwing at me, since it was aimed at me, I must deal with it without Masaomi’s help. Calmly I nodded and replied Masaomi though my eyes still fixed on Tomomori. “Yes…I am sure.”

---

The three of us continued on for a few more hours, walking around defeating a few other onryou as we go. Unfortunately it did not matter how much I wished this occasion will last, the time moved on and the sun was soon setting.

“I guess you have to return soon or else the rest of the Hachiyo will be going crazy.” Masaomi teased and reminded me.

“Un…um.” Lowering my head I nodded but felt no words could come out. Noticing the grave lonely look on my face, Masaomi placed his hand on my head and teased. “What’s the matter? Suddenly so quiet, it’s not like you.”

“Masaomi…I,” I paused and took another look at the tall man standing next to Masaomi, the stunning beautiful face of the person I have fallen terribly attached to. When I saw him looking at me too, I realised I could no longer suppress my feelings. I don’t want to depart from Tomomori again, I don’t want us to meet only on the battlefield as enemies. I want to go with him, even if that means I have to become a part of Heike too.

When that thought hit me, I lifted my head quickly and said, “Masaomi, I…I want to,” Just when I was about to tell both Masaomi and Tomomori that I am willing to follow them, the faces of my friends and companions flashed pass my mind. Closing my eyes I inhaled deeply. No, I cannot give up on my companions, although I wanted Tomomori so much, I cannot abandon my companions. Every single one of them meant something great to me. I cannot possibly give them up either.

“What’s wrong?” Masaomi asked again seeing how pale my face looked.

“No…nothing,” I squeezed out a smile and shook my head. “So I guess I better go, maybe we will see each other sometime again?”

“Ah…we will meet again, no worries.” Although knowing it would be difficult for us to meet again since we are going our own ways, Masaomi still comforted me.

Finally, I pulled myself away from there while my heart was in a huge mess. I am lost, I don’t know what to do. I returned to the rest of the Hachiyo and acted as if nothing had happened, I forced myself to smile, to act normal but I knew I could no longer put up such a façade.

After we returned to Kyou from Kumano, Hinoe did not lend the Kumano Suigun to us, and advised Kumano will continue to remain neutral to the war. Unable to gain help from Kumano as well, Heike had concluded that it would be safer for them to abandon Fukuhara and retreat further into the west at Dan no Ura where they gathered all their forces to encounter Genji for one final battle. Knowing the battle to be great, the leader of the Genji clan, Minamoto no Yoritomo made his appearance too at Dan no Ura, overseeing the battle on his own.

“For my brother to come to the battlefield personally, it only shows that he had lost faith in me.” Unlike how he usually was, Kurou sighed while we sat at the military meeting.

“Well, your ability to lead the troop to victory has already been proven at your previous battles against Heike,” Hinoe said.

A frown came onto Benkei’s face as he stated with a certain discovery, “If it wasn’t your ability that was the problem, it could only mean that Kamakura-dono (Yoritomo’s official title) had lost faith in some other things…”

“But…” Kurou shook his head in confusion as he turned to Kagetoki who had remained abnormally silent the entire time, “Kagetoki, do you know what my brother is thinking? After all you are his most trusted man.”

Noticing all eyes on him, Kagetoki squeezed out a smile, “I am not sure either…but there is one thing I need to mention. Since Yoritomo-sama had made his appearance here at Dan no Ura, I will need to remain beside him during the battle to ensure his safety.” Kagetoki’s words did indeed surprise us, however knowing where his priority lies, everyone sadly waved goodbye to him as he took the smaller troop and joined Yoritomo at the headquarters.

However Kagetoki was not the only one that seemed bothered and lost. Here at Dan no Ura, I knew I will meet Tomomori again. Every time in my past attempts, Tomomori always died here on the battlefield of Dan no Ura. Although I refused to, history ignored my will and moved on forcing me to once again meet Tomomori here as an enemy.

What must I do? Would I be able to save him this time? I should be able to, that’s right, this time it’s different! I have met him in Kumano, I will finally be able to change history. But what if it still doesn’t work? Knowing how much Tomomori means to me now, will I be able to fight him and watch him die again before my eyes…

“Miko, it’s no use being confused…” Suddenly the usual silent Hachiyo, my teacher, Liz sensei spoke to me, once again seeing right through me. “You will eventually have to make a choice, and whatever it is that you make, just remember we will honour your decision…”

“Liz sensei…” I looked up at him in gratefulness.

“But Miko, even if it was your decision to not hurt him, if he ever chooses to hurt you, I will not hesitate to slice him first with my sword.”

My heart gave a huge thump with Liz sensei’s words. How…how much does he know? Even though he had always managed to see through my heart, could he have also known the relationship I have with Tomomori?

---

So the day has come…Genji no Miko…I have waited for this day.

Tomomori sensed an uncontrollable arousal of emotions the moment he thought about meeting Genji no Miko again. Ever since they parted in Kumano, not a day has he forgotten her. Returning to the boring life in Heike, nothing had interested and excited him as much as the thought of finally meeting her face to face again, not as how they were at Kumano, but as enemies to finally meet sword to sword

Nothing ever interests him and therefore would not remain in Tomomori’s memory for too long. He was never short of women, but not one single person was able to excite him and make him desire after her in such a way. It was amazing that not only has he not forgotten her, every moment he thought about her.

“This battle will be the last war between the two clans that have been going on for too long. Knowing the importance of this war, that’s way even Minamoto no Yoritomo showed himself here at Dan no Ura. “

Tomomori listened on in boredom while Masaomi continued to explain the war strategy. It doesn’t matter what methods they use, as long as he gets to fight against Genji no Miko, that would be all. With the thought Tomomori interrupted, “The Genji main force will definitely be heading straight at our main battleship because they know the Emperor is here. Shouldn’t we make sure that won’t happen?”

Masaomi nodded with what Tomomori said, “You’re right. So what is your plan?”

“It’s easy,” Shrugging his shoulders, Tomomori replied. “Have someone remain here on the main ship and have another troop escort His Majesty out of here. For that matter, I volunteer myself to remain here at the main ship.”

“We need more than that,” Masaomi crossed his arms and thought for a while, “I will be taking a smaller troop with our best soldiers and ride on a fast ship. We will attack Yoritomo’s ship without warning. If we could catch the Genji leader, we would have also won the battle.”

“But taking only a small troop with you will be dangerous, Masaomi-dono.” Tsunemasa, the gantle Heike General reminded. “You’re sure you don’t want to bring more with you? After all, I am sure Yoritomo will be surrounded by layers of protection.”

Shaking his head, Masaomi replied with the cheerful smile he always carried. “Nah, if we parade towards him in such a big troop, it is the same as telling him beforehand that we planned to attack him.”

With all the plans decided, all the Heike warriors returned to their assigned role preparing for one of the biggest battle in history. However, Masaomi approached Tomomori and asked in concern, “Tomomori, are you sure you want to remain here and fight Genji’s main force? This is the most dangerous role, you and I both know the chance of survival is…very low.”

“Khe…what are you talking about?” Unmoved by the depressive facts Masaomi stated, Tomomori smirked, still in arrogance and pride. It was as if the more dangerous the mission, the merrier it is for him. “I have waited and waited for this day, I can finally meet Genji no Miko in battle.”

Masaomi’s eyes widened in shock when he heard the term Tomomori mentioned, “Genji...no Miko? Miko? Do you mean…?”

“Humph,” Tomomori smiled mysteriously as he mocked, “Masaomi, have you not heard? There is a Miko that accompanies the troop to war, sealing away our onryou army. It was said that when she was on the battlefield, she was like a goddess that descended, therefore god is on Genji’s side.”

“Sealing away onryou?!” Masaomi felt his heartbeat increased rapidly with the discovery. There was only one person that has the ability to seal onryou, and that is Ryuujin no Miko, his childhood friend. Finally looking up at Tomomori Masaomi stepped forward and asked in eagerness. “If you knew all along who she was, then shouldn’t you avoid meeting each other on the battlefield?!” From that short period of time in Kumano, Masaomi knew already that his friend and Tomomori have fallen in love already. It would then be too cruel for them to face each other as enemies!

“Do you have time to worry about me? You have Yoritomo to deal with…” Tomomori replied, the gleam in his eyes at peace.

“Tomomori!” Masaomi attempted once more. “You love her right?! Then don’t fight her! Let me call the other warriors to stand guard here.”

“Ani-ue…” Standing before Masaomi to stop him, Tomomori replied coldly, determination shown. “I will not let anyone take this portion away from me. She is mine…”

Knowing he could not change Tomomori’s mind, Masaomi gave a sigh and finally nodded in consent. “Alright…good luck then…” Maybe if he had reached Yoritomo earlier, he could prevent this tragedy.

---

“The Heike ontaishou is just ahead! We are now on their main ship!” The Genji soldiers’ moral boosted greatly, for despite the large number of Heike army, Genji still managed to progress their way through and reached the enemy’s main ship.

Knowing the entire battle started because Heike and Genji supported different Emperors, the only way to stop this war is by retrieving the Three Imperial Regalia (三種の神器) from Heike. The Three Imperial Regalia are the symbol of recognition that whoever possesses it will be the rightful Emperor. Unfortunately as Heike did not support the current Emperor that resides in Kyou, they took the Three Imperial Regalia with them and claimed their own Emperor. In order to stop this, Genji warred with Heike for years trying to retrieve the Three Imperial Regalia .

Although my heart was in a huge mess hoping to not meet Tomomori on the battlefield, I knew the only way to put an end to this war is by retrieving the regalia and return it to the Emperor in Kyou. This way, I won’t have to fight Tomomori, and he wouldn’t have to die before my eyes, and I can finally save him!

Unfortunately it did not go as well as planned. When we have successfully reached the Heike main battleship, there was one warrior from Heike that fought and slaughtered the Genji soldiers coming at him like killing off little pathetic insects.

“I have no use of you little pawns, where is Genji no Miko?”

Immediately reacting to the deep sophisticated voice of the silver haired soldier, every drop of blood in me started to boil. I was confirmed once again, my body yearns for him, and I actually wanted to see him more than I knew. “I am here, Tomomori!” Rushing up towards him I blocked out an attack he struck at one of the Genji soldiers. I noticed immediately joy and excitement showed through Tomomori’s eyes the moment he saw me. My heart melted away to discover that he was as happy to see me as I was to him.

“So you are finally here, Genji no Miko…” His lips lifted in challenge as he teased, still in that lazy deep voice. “Ever since the day we parted, I have longed for this…to finally meet you again here on the battlefield…”

With what Tomomori said, astonishment took over on the faces of the other Hachiyo. As expected Atsumori asked in amusement, “The Miko and Tomomori-dono already know each other…? How and when…?”

“There is no need to ask,” Luckily Liz sensei spoke up and defended for me. “Miko makes her own choices and our role is only to protect her.”

“Yes, Liz sensei.” In understanding Atsumori nodded and asked no more.

“Tomomori,” I took a deep breath as I approached him, feeling my heartbeat increasing as I came closer. “I did not come to fight you, we are only looking for the Three Imperial Regalia . Where is it?”

“Khe…” Tomomori chuckled when he heard what I said, “Unfortunately I came to fight you, Miko-dono. If you want to look for the Three Imperial Regalia , maybe you can searching for it after you killed me. Or, I certainly hope that you did not come to be killed by me.”

My heart ached with the cruel words Tomomori spoke. However against my feeling I replied. “I will not back down, Tomomori.” I held onto my sword tight as I looked straight back at him. “I do not plan to be killed by you here either because I need to put an end to this war. So if it means I will have to defeat you first, I shall do it.”

“Ho…” Tomomori’s eyebrow lifted in pleasantness to my challenging tone, “As I expected, you are indeed different when you are on the battlefield. This is the true side of you that I am looking for, so now take out your sword and strike me. Captivate me more with your fighting skills…”

I did not respond to what Tomomori said. He asked me to strike him but that’s the last thing I wanted to do right now. So what after I fight him? What will be the outcome of this battle? This is not right; I should not have to engage myself in a battle against him again. There must be another way!

“Che…” Noticing the mess my mind was in, Tomomori frowned in unpleasantness. ”Do you have time to think of something else?” Immediately following his sentence, Tomomori swung up his sword at me. In shock I moved back quickly as a reflex but sensed a sharp pain across my shoulder.

“Ugh…” Quickly holding onto my shoulder I moaned. My eyes looked to Tomomori in repulsion with certain awareness. The burning sensation on my shoulder and the warmness of my blood flowing down made me realised that Tomomori was serious! He really will kill me!

“Do not look elsewhere, Miko-dono…” Tomomori smirked as his eyes caught me like a predator that found its prey. “Your mind is only allowed to think about me, and your eyes look only to me…”

“Miko!”

“Senpai!”

All the Hachiyo rushed up to me when they saw the injury Tomomori cast on me. Upon the crowd Tomomori confronted in arrogance, “The Hachiyo? I don’t mind if they also join the feast…Hachiyo are also the power of the Miko. Use them on me as you wish…”

Closing my eyes in melancholy I knew there was no other way. Although I had hoped to not fight him again here at Dan no Ura but history has forced it to happen. There was always only two choices, either he kills me, or I kill him. However I knew the first choice was never going to work, for if I died, how then could I save him?

Finally opening my eyes again I pointed my sword at Tomomori, “I will fight you, Tomomori. I do not wish to die here, but I will rescue you too!”

---

“Is this all you and your Hachiyo can do?” Tomomori mocked as he struck a massive attack at us. “You are definitely more than this, Miko-dono…”

I bit my lower lip in frustration knowing although I am now forced to fight him, but I could not bring myself to really hurt him. However it was because of my indecisiveness, I brought the rest of the Hachiyo down with me. Many times Liz sensei had taught me, when the Miko is lost, so are the Hachiyo.

“Miko, what should we do now?”

Knowing I must not be anymore lost and confused, I forced myself to remain calm while I thought through the next attack. “Tomomori is of the gold element…the only thing that can defeat him is the power of fire…” My eyes moved onto the two Hachiyo and called. “Benkei-san and Hinoe, the Suzaku pair, lend me your powers!”

Upon my command, the two Suzaku Hachiyo stepped forward. “Ah~ah~” Hinoe’s scratched his head and looked to Benkei, “Che, I never thought I had to end up pairing with you.”

Immune to Hinoe’s mocking, Benkei replied with his usual gentle smile, “Fufu…Hinoe. Since it’s a favour for the Miko, I am sure you don’t mind, right?” Holding his hand out Benkei chanted, “Natenrouyou Ka no Kiyo… (南天老陽、火の気よ)”

Holding his fingers in a seal Hinoe followed on, “Saa…come here to us. (さあ、ここに来いよ)”

Immediately following their spell, two sources of power flew up from the two Hachiyo’s hands. When the two powers combined into one, massive wind and power started to form around the three of us. “Gundari Myouou no na no motoni!! (軍荼利明王の名の下に)” The moment the powers reached its maximum, the Suzaku pair cried in unison as an indescribable crimson flare was released striking at Tomomori.

Although Tomomori quickly defended, but the prevailing attack from the Suzaku pair struck Tomomori head on. With a moan Tomomori flew backwards as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this I called in shock, “Tomomori!!”

Ignoring me, Tomomori struggled back onto his feet. Unfortunately it had only further provoked the injury as with another mouthful of blood Tomomori collapsed and fell on one knee. Unable to hold back anymore, I ran forward and quickly held onto him. “Tomomori, it’s enough already! It’s over!” (listen to background music?)

To my surprise, Tomomori started laughing, for the first I heard him so relieved and happy. “What…what’s so funny?”

“This is the best…” Tomomori looked to me, “You were far better than I had imagined you to be…you mesmerized me…” Tomomori stopped as he broke into repeated coughs, and blood flowing rapidly out of him.

“Tomomori!” Seeing that I sobbed feeling tears coming onto my eyes making my vision blurry, “Don’t…don’t speak anymore…it’s only going to make it worse…”

Seeing the tears in my eyes he turned away and asked coldly. “Khe…do you have time to waste on me, Miko-dono? War is not yet over for you isn’t it?”

Before I understood what Tomomori meant, a Genji soldier rushed up to us in desperation, “Kurou-sama!! The report just came in that Karirinaifu of Heike has secretly led a troop and now Yoritomo-sama is under attack! We must return at once!!”

“What?!” Kurou turned around in shock with the news.

Atsumori frowned and shook his head, “So, this battle here was all a set up? Tomomori-dono had only wanted to trap the main force here…”

“Don’t be ridiculous…” Tomomori interrupted coldly, “I had only remained here because I wanted to fight Genji no Miko. Who gives a damn about Yoritomo…?” Finally gotten onto his feet again Tomomori moved away from me, “This battle as the final feast of Heike is the best…this was way beyond expectation…” Leaving me that sentence, Tomomori turned and walked off.

My body jumped immediately when I noticed I have seen this scene numerous times before. “Wait, Tomomori! Where are you going?!” Running quickly after him I knew this time I will not allow him to do it, I will not let him commit suicide before my eyes ever again! Stretching out my arms I grabbed him from behind as I wept in despair, “Don’t go Tomomori! Don’t be satisfied now just because you have fought me!!” Unable to take it any longer, all the pretence, all the façade fell off as my hands gripped onto his garment tight. “I will not allow you to die, don’t you understand?! I command you to live, Taira no Tomomori!!”

“…It’s impossible…”

My eyes snapped open when I heard what Tomomori said. Finally turning around to face me, Tomomori smiled. Although still the same egotistical smile, but I noticed a hint of sadness, “It’s impossible, Miko-dono. I have lived already, fighting with you had made me more alive than anyone could have lived.”

“Tomomori…” I whispered the name feeling my heart tearing apart.

“Even with the power and protection of Ryuujin that resides in you, you can not change me, the way I am and the way I live…” When he saw that I wept even more with his words, for the first time in his life Tomomori felt his heart softened. Even a man like him can not resist a woman’s tears? Or, it was only because it was the tears that belong to this girl…?

“You are a beautiful woman…” Gently placing his hand on my cheek, Tomomori continued, his tone so soft and meek, something he didn’t even know he had. “You hunger and desire life more than anyone…that is what made you so beautiful….” Stooping, Tomomori leaned his forehead against mine as he whispered, “The very last scene I see are your tears…it is spectacular…”

“Tomomori…” I closed my eyes not knowing what to do or say. Why is he telling me this? Why is he suddenly so gentle? Unexpectedly, Tomomori stretched forth his arms and pushed me away from him with all his might. With a scream, I fell to the ground. At the same time from the corner of my eyes, I saw the tall body of Tomomori stepping away from me. Looking up, Tomomori stood there; the blood from his body flowed and surrounded him like red ribbons. Half teasing, half-hearted, Tomomori’s eyes fixed on me as he smiled.

“Jya…na…”

“Tomomori, don’t!!!” quickly stretching out my arm to grab him, I had only discovered it to be a useless attempt as I saw clearly with my own eyes, Tomomori’s body plunged into the bottomless sea. “Ah…ah…” Unable to make out a word with the shocking scene before my eyes, I felt the entire world has fallen and crashed upon me.

“WUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!” Holding onto my head I screamed in utter despair. This is not true, this can not be happening! History has changed, it must have, but why would this path never change?! What more must I do to stop this tragedy from happening?! What price must I pay to save him?!

“Miko…!!” All my companions were overwhelmed with the scene and most of all my reaction. They all know me as a strong, cheerful person, and not once have they seen me break down like this. Now before them I wept, so bitterly, so hopelessly…

“I…I don’t know what best to say, but…” Kurou approached me as he whispered.

“Kurou-sama,” The Genji soldier that came to report earlier interrupted, “Please, we must return to Yoritomo-sama immediately as he needs our aid!”

“I know! I heard you the first time!” Kurou groaned as his eyes continued to look to me not knowing what to do.

“Saku,” Calmly Benkei interrupted though his eyes too fixed on me. “Can you remain here beside her, for Kurou and I must move on.”

“Sure,” Saku nodded in understanding as she placed her arms around me.

“I am coming…” To everyone’s surprise I dried my tears and replied.

“But, it’s okay, don’t force yourself anymore…” Saku comforted.

“I am coming,” I insisted. “I do not wish to stay here.” Now I know Tomomori is no longer in this world, there was no way I could remain and linger at this place where everything reminded me of him. Once again I lived. It has always been like this, either he dies or I die, there was always no other way. In order to survive, I killed that person. With the choice, the only part of Tomomori that remained with me was nothing but the burning painful sensation on my shoulder…

What awaited us when we arrived at Yoritomo’s aid was that he had suddenly turned against Kurou and accused us all, who fought together with his army with our whole heart, as nothing but traitors. Under Yoritomo’s command, Kagetoki had no choice but to arrest us, giving up his right as a Hachiyo. Luckily with the aid of Masaomi and his remaining Heike army, we fled.

However we could not travel far as there were road blocks everywhere as Yoritomo now controls over nearly the entire country. There was not a moment we could stop and rest for if we did, Yoritomo’s pursuers will reach us.

“If we could cross this mountain, on the other side would be Hiraizumi, the country that is not currently under Yoritomo’s rule.” Benkei suggested. “Most of all, due to the past relations Kurou and I have with the ruler of Hiraizumi, we should be safe there.”

“But with all the road blocks in and out of the mountain path, how could we cross the mountain safely?” Kurou asked.

“I believe there are secret mountain paths here that Yoritomo’s soldiers wouldn’t know. If we could manage to find it, we should be able to cross the mountain without being spotted.” Benkei explained. Luckily not far away we saw a little girl picking flowers on the mountain path. Approaching the little girl Benkei asked. “Excuse me, we were just wondering whether you know any secret mountain short cuts in here?”

To our joy the little girl nodded in enthusiasm, “Of course I do! I grew up here! I always play hide and seek with my friends here so I know all the paths!”

Kindly advising us the paths, the little girl returned home. Unfortunately what awaited her were Genji soldiers arresting the local people, torturing them for the information of our whereabouts. For the safety of her family and friends, the little girl had no choice and told them the truth about us, and which paths we went.

While we walked along the secret path, it did not take long for us to discover that Genji soldiers have found us as the night was lit up with the fire torches of their search party.

“We are trapped!” Saku called in shock, “What should we do?”

Knowing our roads have been blocked front and back, even the strategist Benkei was out of idea. Just when we thought it was the end, that man appeared…

Kneeling before me in respect, the man reported, “Miko-sama. Please do forgive my late arrival. I have been sent by the rulers of Hiraizumi to guide you to safety.”

No words could come out of me when I saw the face of the man that knelt before me, uncontrollably tears flooded my eyes making my vision blurry. However, even with my sight blurred, I could still see the beautiful, perfect face, the mesmerizing deep purple eyes and the silver locks that belonged only to one person…

Covering my mouth I whimpered in disbelief, “To…Tomomori…?”

[HAHAHA...did I make you scream again? This is the end of part two, i need a rest before I type up part three...but I promise part three will be the last one...XD]
