[D7, LM] 1,000 Folds [Closed]

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"It can be a mercy they say, a chance to start over." His voice was hollow and it was his turn to squeeze her hand for support "But by the fortunes grace it's not one I think you will need for a long time." He grinned at her trying to seem reassuring. "Death i think is far from you and I pray it stays that way. But this is far from polite conversation, I'm sorry I brought up such a sad topic, this place is about beginnings not ends."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

She nodded and returned the squeeze. The Kaito gave a light giggle and smiled. "Death is not an end is just a new beginning as well. You know the symbolism of marriage... the white Kimono not of purity but death, to be reborn as one... tying the red string of destiny making it one soul."

[Asahina Soyokaze]

Soyokaze chose his next words carefully, trying to push any blame for what came next onto their hosts; but still he was nervous. "Oubaihime-san, if the Shika... were to match us together, D-Do you think you could be happy?"

Time froze.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

The Kaito smiled turning the color of her Hakama."Anoo... I... I... I think so..." She shied away a bit.

[Asahina Soyokaze]

Soyokaze breathed. "Good. I don't know what fate holds or what the Shika are planning but I hope you find happiness with whoever they select. This whole event is like a slow torture and I might have left were it not for the few friends I have made while here like you and Raizo-san."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

She kissed her hand and placed it on his forehead. "You should know that you are special to this one. That I enjoy your friendship... and I can see that you are very special person. And..." she looked down in shame. "I understand that we may not be together due to this crazy thing, I would like to be able to visit you and see that you are happy."

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"I would like that too, you and Raizo and Koi and maybe even Hikimasu-sama."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Ah... hai." She grew quiet as she thought about what she just did.

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"I apologize, I should not have brought up such a serious topic, I've just been thinking about all this a lot, in one week all our lives are going to change forever; it's a lot to digest. But forget whatever troubles I have caused you please. "

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Its okay Asahina sama... I have met many people here but for some reason I feel connected to you." She nodded and jingle. "I want you to know that no matter what happens I will be happy to have met you and if our strings are to be knotted I know that like today we can harmonize." The girl gave a light giggle.
