It was exactly at sunset when we arrived at the cave… The area was confirmed safe.
Inside the cave was spacious and beautiful… On the end of the cave was leading to a waterfall where we took a bath. Comil and I went first while the Kaishin gathered some branches and made a bonfire…Fesil went hunting… Aton assembled the tents.
After we took a bath and get changed, The tents were already assembled and Kaishin already made a bonfire. After a few minutes, Fesil came back with a turkey in hand…
Comil and I started cooking while the guys went to bath…As we cook our supper, Comil and I were having a chit chat and happily laughing at jokes that each other made…
"Hey…Who is Risa?..." I asked to Comil
"Hmm…Well…We could say that Risa is the woman that Kaishin loves the most…" Comil answered
Hmmm…So that is why he was super angry last night… It can't be helped huh… After all, His lover was taken away…
The guys are Finished in taking their bath and has already changed into their clothes…Comil and I prepared the meal and served it to everyone… The guys seem to find the taste into their liking and just knowing that, Made the two of us happy…
After all of us has eaten, We rested for a bit and went to bed…
"Sigh…Comil…Are you still awake?" I asked
"Zzzzzz…ZZZZzzzz…zzzzzZZZZZZ"-Comil
She seems to be asleep already huh?... Sigh… I wonder why I can't sleep?...
No matter how hard I close my eyes, I can't get my sleep at all…
In the last nights… I've kept on dreaming about the past… In the times of the war…
(Flash Back)
"Young Miss, Please Run Away! The Missile is going to land in this way!!!"- Our old butler shouted
The butler was like a family to us…Father was mostly away because of his works and mother was always partying to make more connections to other nobles. They were mostly away all the time and the one who was always taking care of me was that butler…
When the war came, Dad was at our rest house in the country's outskirts while Mom was attending a party to congratulate her little sister's wedding to a General's son…
They can not travel back home and I was left alone in our house… The butler was the who took care of me so that I won't feel alone and scared…Well…Maybe, Back then as a child, I might be scared but now, when I remember it, it was not the same kind of fear that I can feel back then.
The big sister maids that were hit by a shower of arrows, trying to shield me…The big brother guards that were stabbed, trying to protect everyone in the mansion… The butler pushed me away so that I won't be hit by a stray missile…
Everyone was nice to me since I was very, very young…Until the end, they died because of wanting to protect me…
I really do not want to return those horrible times again…
Their screams… Their last moments… I just watched it all… Just thinking that they died because of me, it makes my chest hurts and tremble…
As I remember all of these I feel like I want to cry and…I didn't notice that I was already behind the waterfall…
I decided to take off my clothes and bath…I want to indulge myself inside the waters…In this way, I can cry all I want and I can play dumb and say that the water that flows from my eyes are from taking a bath…
Outside, where the water flows from the water fall, The area was not occupied by many trees and you could clearly see the night sky. It was full moon and it was shining beautifully and looked like a yellow pearl…
I then, went under the water when I feel like my tears are gonna come out again and noticed a big figure… I couldn't determine what it was for I can't see clearly inside the water…
I was then surprised to see what went up in the surface…
It was Kaishin! In my surprise, I went back down to the and hid my exposed self into it… I closed my eyes and felt that Kaishin swam pass through me and went back behind the waterfall…
After hiding in the water for a few seconds, I lifted my head to catch some air…
"I'm sorry…I thought that nobody was bathing…" I apologized
"I'm sorry…uhm…i…didn't see anything ok… and also…you should get up now for the water is cold" Kaishin said
Kaishin dressed up and turn his back to the water fall… He said to me that I could get change… I changed to my clothes and the two of us went back, embarrassed…
