Shukona POV
[its been four years already huh.... I still remember back then... I thought Nikami was cold... But... She was actually really sweet...] I thought... and stared at the two. Nikami had her same brown hair that goes below on her hips, with a hair braid going around her head.
Her emerald eyes stared back at me, and I looked away. A bit red....
[And for Raijin too... I thought he was the perfect guy... but it turns out he's kinda clumsy and clingy... its kinda cute...?] I thought as I looked at Rajin.
He had his sharp Blue eyes, and his long hair... well, it was long for a boy. His hair was up to his neck, and in the middle of the bangs on his hair had a part where it was all red... quite strange.
And then... I remembered back then when we became friends... That time where everything started.
_Flashback_
I stood there in front of her as she stared at me with those cold eyes, the color of her green eyes is supposed to make it vibrant... and give her more color... why is it that she still looks so cold?
[I always wondered why she had such cold eyes... Even though green eyes are so bright and kind...] I thought while staring at her, sighing a bit.
"why did you invite me here? Just to brag about you got engaged with Raijin-sama? I don't care...." I sighed in frustration, last year... I was jealous of her dancing with him... and even calling her a whore, ugh. that was so inelegant of me... I didn't even know they were engaged, it wasn't made public untill soon after.
"...." She stayed silent and her green eyes stared deeply into my emerald eyes.
I shivered at her weird staring.
"Lo-look! I'm sorry that I called you a whore last year... I didn't know... So stop staring at me!! Its creepy!" I glared at her.
She smirked a bit.
"you finally said sorry." She looks at me, with a slight smirk on her face.
"Huh...?" I looked at her in confusion, why was she being nice all of a sudden?
"I'm sorry we started on the wrong foot. Could.... We be Friends...?" She let out her hand for me to shake, her green eyes looking Away. Like she was a bit flustered...
"Huh?! Why would I be friends with you?!" I glared at her again, How dare she... just because she's going to be the future queen doesn't mean I'll suck up to her!
"...." She stayed silent.... Staring back at me again.
"What is with yo-" I tried to ask her but...
"What if I told you I could use magic. And even teach you. " She cut me off.
"Huh...?" I looked at her even more confused, what is she thinking?!
"N-no way!! We are both 7 years old there is no way you could use magic powers and even teach me!!" I yelled at her.
"There is no way that's possible!!" I sighed, this girl is crazy...
"....
"N... No way..." I looked down shocked.
"I have earth magic too. So I could teach you.... A good deal right?" Her hands are still there ready for me to shake, but I won't shake it.... Yet.
"....Its a good deal but..." I looked up at her
"What do you get out of this...? I mean I get a lot of things out of this! What about you...?" I asked her, looking up back at her again.
[I mean if I became a friend of the future queen would already give me a lot of advantages... and even knowing how to use magic at the age of 7?! I would be considered a genius!! Wait... If she knows magic so much that she can even teach me... A child... She... Is a genius among geniuses....] I thought while staring at her poker face that didn't even a trace of emotion. I Waited for an answer....
Her face finally changed and had a faint pink on her face and looked away.
"I... I don't have any friends... Only Raijin... So... I... Want to be... Friends with you..." Her eyes looked back at me, her green eyes.... Finally had emotion. I saw this change and immediately I felt my face turn red, and my only thought was..
[Wow.... She's beautiful..... Why did I just notice this now...?] I thought, dumbstuck at her beauty.
I stared at her for a while...
"So... What is your answer?" Her voice made me snap back to reality.
"Y-yea... I guess..." I finaly shook her warm hand and looked up at her, smiling gently.
[I... Never thought I would see her, the most ice cold person I have ever met, smile like this...] I thought while staring at her
Then I heard a clapping behind me, so I immediately turned back and saw prince Raijin smiling happily while clapping.
"Pri-prince Raijin?! Yo-you were there?!" I yelled at him shocked.
"Rai. I made her my friend." Nikami smiles to Raijin.
[Good job Nika!" He smiles back at her
"Rai?! Nika?! They are already having nicknames to each other?! What?!] I looked at them shocked and confused.
"Should we call her Shu? Its short for Shukona." Nikami asked
"Yes! Nice idea Nika!" Prince Raijin smiled
I just stood there confused.
"And Oh. Shu you can call me Nika, you can also call Raijin Rai. Okay?" Nika looked at me.
"O-oh... Okay? I guess...?" I said, still a bit confused...
[I guess from now on.... My life is going be fun.... But I don't really mind it. ] I thought while smiling at them
Nikami POV
"Heeeyy?? Shu? Are you okay? You have been standing there for a while now!" I said at Shukona, poking her face.
"A-ah?! Sorry! I just remembered something back then...." Her face went red from embarrassment
"Ahahahaha! Seriously Shu?!" Raijin laughed
I laughed along too
"Shut up!!" She glared at both us, her face still red from embarrassment.
Emica put her hand on Shukona's shoulder
"Its okay Shukona-sama!" She smiled mischievously
"STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!!!" She yelled on the top of her lungs
