9 years ago, at a small ice cream stand…
Akari; so I was just telling her to tell him to shut up! If he wanted to fuck, he should at least take her out right?
Shirori; Can you please not bring that up while I'm eating this?
Akari; oh, come on Shi-chan, don't be so…
Shirori; I JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR THINGS LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW!
Akari; wow, you're always so harsh about this kind of thing, I wonder why. Hey, look over there, it's that kid from yesterday.
He's coming over here.
Then the 12-year-old boy then gently grabbed Akari's leg, as to embrace her like a child would a parent.
Akari, while blushing; HEY! What are you doing kid? Let go of me!
Shiroi, while smiling a bit; I think he sees you as some kind of parental figure now.
Akari; What! Kid listen, I'm not your mom ok! So don't hold me like that.
Shirori; wait! Hold on, look. He's crying.
Akari; …
Bachira; my mom, she's gone, I have no one, please,
Help me.
Akari was then very quiet, she took her cone and fed it to the boy. He then swallowed it immediately, at that point, she had made up her mind.
Shirori; he has no one left, what should we do with him.
Akari; Fine, let's take care of him.
For the next two years the boy would secretly come to the home of the red haired girl, night after night, where he would eat food, play and learn everyday things.
Akari one night; Is there anything you want to eat?
Bachira; it's nothing.
Akari; Alright, dinner will be ready at 8.
Then Bachira grabbed her by the leg in tears.
Akari; hey, what is it?
Bachira then looked her in the eye while tearing up; Don't ever leave me.
Akari then hugged the boy
"Don't worry, I'll never leave you,"
Bachira; thank you, so much.
Akari; there, there, cheer up. Everything's gona be fine as long as I'm here.
A few days later, she was sent on a mission, and did not return, all that was found was her lifeless head that was placed in a bag, when Bachira found out about this, he was devastated, the then stole the head from the assassins and held it in his hands while we wept in the mid night rain.
The next day, he then buried it, with help from Shirori, who he had gotten close to at the time.
Shirori; I have something to confess, I'm ashamed to say it but, please understand, I was the one who…
Bachira; you where the one who did that thing to me while my eyes where covered. Weren't you?
[remember when we said he was raped by a woman? Shirori was that woman, and that was before they met, at the time, the boy was blindfolded so he had no idea who it was though, but well, the more you know]
Shirori; yes, please forgive me! I was forced to do it.
Bachira; Don't lie to yourself. Were you forced? Or did they just tell you and you couldn't say no because you were too weak.
Shirori, bursting into tears; you're right!
Bachira then looked her in the eye, without a single look of remorse, then wrapped his arms around her. That's better, I hate people who lie to themselves.
A few days before Sihai became Leader, Shirori warned Bachira of what Sihai did to men she didn't like, just for his safety.
Bachira, in Shirori's room; ok, so if I don't want to die, what should I do?
Shirori; I'm embarrassed to say this, but I'll show you some things. If it's to save your life.
Bachira; wait, you, you'll.
Shirori, while blushing; yes, I will.
[Ohhhh, so that's how he was able to satisfy that bitch, crazy]
A few months after Sihai, came into power, Shirori was to be executed for compromising Black rose, when Bachira heard this, he was devastated, the night before her death, he stayed up all night with her. They talked, laughed and remembered good times they had.
Bachira; tomorrow, let's sing a song together.
Shirori; I thought you'll never asked.
Bachira; and one more thing, I like you, like really like you. I just wanted to let you know ok.
Shirori, while blushing, smiled; remember this moment, and no matter what, I'll always be with you.
She then kissed the boy on the mouth, and he kissed her back.
The next morning, the Clan estate was closed and right in front of the main house stood the executioner, sharpening the blade for Shirori's public execution, as she was brought from her room, she began to sing, the same was for a boy who watched everything from atop a tall tree.
The sun rises so gently, the winds blow so calmly and there am I with you as we look across this sunrise, my hand in yours, yours in mine, what does this great day hold? I hope to find.
She was then brought to the cite, all in attendance looked at her with disgust, as one would while seeing a pig defecate. She was never loved you see, she was hated by all, because of her appearance and because it was considered taboo to have white hair. She only had a single friend her whole life, and was only at joy when she was with that little boy.
The sun sits in noon, I hope we're there soon, although it not so bad this stunning outside view. Hour pass and hour still, we only have each other's feel, as the sun kisses our faces, my heart will heal.
As Shirori, was asked her last words, she only requested that she may finish her song before she died. It all depended on her they said.
The sun leaves our view, as I look at you, remembering all the sweet times we had just today, skin touches skin, lips touch lips, I hope this moment never ends and this even after this kiss.
*STAB*
As life was slipping from her eyes, she kept singing…
As I look out my window, and walk outside my door, I remember you and how we danced on that floor, with all passion and heart, not a hint of distain, I'm just here waiting for when I see you again.
All life had left her as she said this, throughout the last verse she looked up at her lover as he sang with her on that tree. And during all this time, not ounce did she stop smiling.
EOC
Bachira a few hours later; I swear, one day, every last one of you, are going to pay.
