Chapter 2 - Coincidence or not?

ICHIRU POV

My father was impressed that lord Narukami's kids are twins.Not many families had twins.Suddenly Ichinose came to a room with a girl.

She had silver hair and blue eyes.I got lost in those eyes.

ICHIKA POV

I forgot how nervous I were when my attention was caught by a boy with blonde platinum hair and green eyes.

So I got close to him.Both of us said "good evening".

"My name is Ichika.Nice to meet you."

"My name is Ichiru.The pleasure is all mine."

He kissed my hand and gave me a boquet of red roses.I felt very uncomfortable the whole night.When he wasn't looking,I was staring at Ichiru.

ICHIRU POV

I had the feeling Ichika was staring at me.I stared her back when no one was paying attention.The night wasn't as I expected.It was fun to be honest.And I thought it was going to be boring.Father and I said good night to Ichika,lchinose,lord and lady Narukami.Father realised that I was lost in my thoughts when we were travelling back to our home.The next day I went for a little walk to the graveyard.Then I walked through the town.Suddenly my eyes met Ichika's eyes.

"Good morning Ichiru."

"Oh good morning,miss Narukami."

"Ichiru,please do not talk to the plural."

"Oh I am sorry.Let's try again.Good morning,Ichika.Is it better?"

"Yes."

Ichika suggested to walk in the town.There was going to be an event soon in the town.It was the anniversary of our country's indipendence.We also walked through the woods.

"When I was a kid I lost my way inside the forest until a boy found me and helped me.Now that I know that it is you,thank you very much."

So Ichika...She knew I was the one who helped her find her way back when she was lost.She recognised me.

"Remember the war which lead to our country's indepence?"

"I do."

I touched Ichika's hands.

"I was going to die.Until...It was you,who saved me back then.These eyes...I never forgot them.Thank you."

ICHIKA POV

When I was seventeen years old our country was in war.Our clan didn't face any problems since we pretended to be allies of the empire of Buyan.Ichinose and I were separated from our parents.We moved to a little house far away.

I went to gather some herbs for medicine.Until I saw a young man.He was suffering.I took him to my house.Ichinose was going to see father in the capital.I took care of the young man.When he healed,he left without saying goodbye.He left a note saying "Thank you".

"So Ichiru..."

"Yeah."

"Do you believe in coincidences?"

"No,I don't.I believe in the fatal."
