She was a few miles away from the "enemy" as Hoki called them. She was using her special vision to watch them. It looked like they were fighting.
She groaned. "They aren't getting along again," she said into a tiny book in her hand.
"Mother says to give them time," said the boy on the other side of the communicator.
She looked again. They were separated; one was by the water, the other far away. She growled. You do know we're back to square one, right?" There was no answer. "It means we have to start over."
"No. I don't think so."
"I'm watching them right now! You can't see them like I can!" she argued.
"You don't know them. You just met them. Trust me: now that one knows, he'll go after the other."
"Everything will be fine?"
"Yes. You have done very well. You made mother happy. And I'm sure Genro and Hojoun will be very happy as well."
"You mean I'm done?"
"Yes, with the phy. Now you just watch them to make sure they go by the plan."
"Right. I'll contact you when they are together." Li closed the book and continued to watch the two boys.
*****
It was barely dark outside when Tasuki and Hojoun went to their different tents. At least Hoki gave them two of those.
"'Night," Tasuki yawned. Only slow, even breathing was what answered him.
Hojoun was asleep. No matter how hard he tried to stay awake, he ended up falling asleep right away. He knew what was awaiting him when he closed his eyes. And it happened almost right away.
~
It was raining. The river was flooded. Hojoun didn't care. He only saw red. He drew his sword.
'How dare you?!' he yelled at his friend above the thunder and wind.
He swung, but it was blocked by his friend's sword. The force of Hojoun's second swing knocked his friend into the river. Hojoun dropped his sword and was at the river in time to grab his friend's hand.
'I'm sorry,' his friend yelled.
Then there was a loud crack, and someone yelled, 'Look out!'
Hojoun looked up in time to catch the broken log with his eye.
~
Hojoun sat up gasping. He reached up to feel his scarred eye. He never wore his mask anymore, and someday he would use the medicine Mitsukake gave him five years before. His eye was still closed with the scar, but tears were running down his other cheek.
That settled it: he wouldnot be going back to sleep. But he didn't want to be alone and awake either. He walked out of his tent, and into Tasuki's.
"Tasuki-kun? You awake?"
"Yeah," said a sleepy Tasuki. "Come in."
Hojoun walked farther in and sat down next to the "bed."
"No, I mean come in." Tasuki pulled up the blankets and pulled Hojoun under them. Hojoun was stiff. "Relax." He He put a hand on his friend's cheek. The tears had almost dried, but not quite. Tasuki knew why Hojoun was in his tent. "The dream." Hojoun nodded. "That's why you didn't wanna stop." It wasn't a question, but Hojoun nodded again. "It's okay," Tasuki whispered, pulling Hojoun to face him. "It was years ago." Tasuki scooted closer and touched his lips to his friend's.
Hojoun pulled back. "What was that for?"
"Well, I was comforting you." Hojoun raised his eyebrows. "Okay, that's not the only reason I kissed you. There's something I've been meaning to tell ya." He waited, gathering his courage. When nothing came, he went on. "I...love you." Hojoun looked upset at this. "Don't do that; I know you feel the same way. I was sortta there for yer bath. That part."
Hojoun blushed. He tried to turn away, but Tasuki held his hips. Their lips brushed again. One of them moaned, but neither knew who. Tasuki's hand moved lower and pulled. Their bodies were pressed together. They moved against each other. Tasuki went in for another kiss, this time he deepened it. They both moaned.
*****
The moans caried outside the tent. Li had moved to only a few feet away. She moaned. "They are so hot together, prince," she said into the book.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll take your word for it," the boy said disgustedly. He was only a boy, barely old enough to play with girls. "They are together, though?"
"Uh-huh. They just groaned to completion, I think."
"Eww! Too much information, Li!" the prince gagged.
"Sorry," Li giggled.
"You sent him the dream?" the boy changed the subject.
"No. I was about to, but it started on its own. I guess it's still hard for him," she said saddly. "Genro will be very good for him. Besides, I thought you didn't want me to send it."
"I was making sure you used it as a last resort."
"Right." The boy could almost hear Li roll her eyes.
*****
Hoki was walking out in the front court yard when her son and Li ran to her. "Mother!" the boy yelled. "He's back." The boy panted.
Hoki looked. She was a bit disappionted to only see Hojoun on the horse. But as he rode closer, she saw Tasuki on the same horse, right behind him. She smiled and her heart raced faster. "Excelent job you two. Thank you both."
"It wasn't like they did much," Li mumbled. It earned her an elbow in the ribs. "Ow."
But Hoki didn't hear; she was running to meet the boys at the gates. "Welcome back," she said, not out of breath. She smiled, which made the two dismounting boys look at each other. "What?"
"It was the look, no da. Hojoun paused, then, "You knew this was going to happen."
Hoki laughed. "Yes, but it had to."
Li ran up behind Hoki. "Hiya," she waved.
"And you were in on it!." Tasuki went to attack, but Hoki stepped in his way, still laughing.
"Yes, and she did a great job. Showing Tasuki that scene, and Hojoun the dream-"
"No. Hoki-sama, I didn't send the dream," Li said saddly. Hojoun paled. "Sorry, Hojoun-san. That dream was all you." She bowed.
"It's okay Li-chan-"
"Wait, you're a girl?!"
"Maybe," Li said slyly. winking at Hojoun. Everyone laughed.
