mutual feeling-chapter 9

Akari quickly runs towards the fight to end it However, kai was about to reach for his katana and got Akari's torso leaving her silky dress bloody and Akari in pain on the floor."Akari!" yells haru and yua Akari's eyes begin to close as well as her eyesight being blurry as darkness folds Akari in she looks around and see's plain darkness not a single soul and her cut gone"is this what it's like to be dead?" said akari walking around the darkness. Until all of a sudden her hearing comes back as well with her eyesight kinda" Akari, are okay?!" says a women"yua?" the women stares at Akari concerned" No, it's your sister fumika..papa she's awake!!" Akari gets up quickly with a severe pain in her torso" ah,am I..home.." Akari looks around and see's all four of her sisters and soon her father as well when he runs in. "How did I get here?" Akari says confused "papa found you on the ground outside of the village as he was going out like always to make sure you were home...he went out of his way to do that everyday since you left...and now your finally home except you've gotten hurt.." said mao worried "was anyone with me.." says Akari about ready to cry " no, why was someone with you?" Akari's eyes begin to blur up and soon she lets out all the tears,her sisters give Akari a warming hug and try to calm her down. "I need to know if he is alright!" Akari said still crying "who?" said fumika " haruko, I need to find him papa he needs me!" Akari yells with tears in her eyes "who is haruko and who stabbed you what Happened since you left?"said Akari's father which Akari explained the best she could not leaving a single part out. "you met the king, I thought you didn't believe in him.." said itsumi Akari shakes her her head and said "I didn't but he said he was the king and I believed him"Akari continues "I need to save him from kai.. please papa he is the only person that helped me through the forest...he is the reason I am here still.." said akari which hit her fathers heart"Please be careful Akari.. If you don't come home again I don't know what I'd do... I can't loose you too.." Akari understood how her father felt and gave all her family a big hug before leaving once again " please be okay haru.." Akari said entering the forest. Akari tried retracing her steps to when she first got to the forest to when she had gotten stabbed at the palace however, it was no use she couldn't find a single person nor a place..all there was were trees and nature. "Haruko!!" Akari kept yelling over and over until she finally made a quick stop to catch her breath "I haven't ate for awhile..." said akari as her stomach growls. Sometime soon she continues to walk in the forest however suddenly she notices a piece of cloth on the floor with a splat of blood it seemed on it "haru wore this kind of cloth..." says Akari running to around looking for my pieces of the cloth which she found leading to a cave. Akari entered the cave and saw more blood on the ground as she walked deeper in the cave, luckily there was a lantern at the end so Akari could see "haru,are you here?" says Akari a bit scared but couldn't leave the cave just in case it was haru. Akari had finally made it to the end of the blood trail which was a big wolf it looked with black fur and light blue eyes which reminded Akari of haru. "eh" Akari realized that the wolf like creature saw her,it started to approach her and Akari noticed it was bleeding she just couldn't exactly see where"where can you be bleeding you poor thing.." Akari says petting the wolf like creature however, the creature was roaring loud and getting bothered by something "ah,calm down!" Akari said as she rapt her arms around the creature and then let out a scream herself when the creature got ahold of her wound and suddenly got on top of her. Akari had closed her eyes for a second she thought but eventually realized she had fallen asleep after waking up seeing haru on top of her and her dress with blood on it from her now open wound and the fact that haru was bleeding too. "haruko?!" said akari moving haru off her and noticing he was naked " haruko..you were that creature.." said akari quietly ripping her bloody dress and cleaning his wounds then taking her blouse off and the bottom piece of her dress for him to wear leaving her with a little bit of open chest Because she had her wound covered up and some pants/leggings(I guess??) she had under the dress "haru, please wake up.." Akari says laying next to haru letting her tears run down her face. Akari wakes up to the touch of someone who she knew and was waiting for "Akari, why did you come for me.." said haru who was still touching Akari's hair "Haru..you have black hair..." says Akari who got up quickly "Don't change the subject Akari..tell me why you came back even though I got you home.." Akari looked at haru's eyes and didn't know herself why she had really came back "I don't know but I guess it was the fact that I've put all my trust in you since the day I met you.." says Akari who was giving haru a smirk while tears went down her eyes " you know I was worried... I was scared you could have died when I was at my village.." haru frowns and hugs Akari hard " I'm sorry.. I-I guess I never thought you would care for me like I thought you would.." he said which sounded like nonsense towards Akari "never do that again...where you go I go as well don't leave me please haru.." says Akari breaking away from the hug and looking haru in the eyes "promise?"haru nods"I promise" he smiles and hugs Akari again. "so what happened when I was dead?" Akari says not caring about her death situation,haru stares at her not surprised she just said that " well general kai and I you know fought kind of to the death and he got me wounded badly,although I got him as well we both went out separate ways and I grabbed you and found your village because yua sent me the directions to your village which surprised me a bit....and I left you in front of the village.." haru continues on "I went back to the palace to get my sister's dress you left and yua was there.. I grabbed the dress and was about to walk away until one of the spirit wolves attacked me..my mother was there so I tur-" Akari cuts in thinking she knows his next words" inugami..you turned into one of those am I correct?" haru looks at Akari surprised a little while continuing on "I guess you can say that or maybe a シェイプシフター(shape shifter)" haru says while looking at Akari with a akward smile " well that seems cool I wish I can do that as well but..oh the village haru I need you to come with me to the village!" haru's eyes widen "but you said the village disproves of me they are terrified of me!"Akari thinks for a second before giving him a answer " ah, they don't know what you look like right, plus you have black hair right now..you actually look your age!" Akari says giggling which soon turns to laughter " I honestly don't know how you find my hair so entertaining or funny". Haru seemed to remember the way back to Akari's Village and luckily they make it there by midnight. Akari grabs haru's hand and drags him into the village to her little home "papa I'm home!" Akari says "fumika, Mao, itsumi , Kira I'm back!" Akari says letting go of haru's hand running off into several rooms only to see no one at all in the house "is your village always this quiet at night?" says haru a little confused " I guess I didn't notice no one was outside..." Akari says running to each home knocking on the door" hellloo!!!" haru walks towards Akari knocking on one of the doors "there is a paper on the floor Akari" haru says grabbing the paper then his expression changing "Akari we need to leave now" Akari grabs the paper"This is general kai, I'm usually not this tempted into getting anyone to come to the palace but you are ordered to if you choose to obey I'll Grant you any wish at all and if you don't I won't have any problem killing your family and the village people."
