Ch-3: WE SHALL MEET AGAIN
‘You need to choose
anything from your outfit to become the Talisman, Maiden,’ a very gentle
voice formally spoke.*
‘I select this…since
we all are fighting for a sad purpose and are crying underneath,’ Yui
said…her voice very still, even as her face cringed as she wrapped her arms
across her belly in a feign attempt to do away with the pain;
…her abdomen hurts periodically.
‘The Great Seiryu is
residing in your body,’ the soothing voice spoke on fluidly although his
brows became slightly furrowed as his mind secretly processed Yui’s statement; He
spoke emotionlessly even as his mind fluttered with suppressed feelings ‘…you need to take greater care of yourself.’**
The owner of that voice softly stroked her hairs and patted
her back…she relaxed in his arms, taking in his lavender yet masculine musk.
His face remained calm and expressionless like that of a porcelain dolls but
his glacial eyes showed a strange hidden pain
and guilt.
The entire place is so dark and cold…and the sound of
flowing water gives the feeling of standing near a lake which is constantly
forming light little ripples…a mushy dark figure lingered above the cold water,
its seemingly endless Evil aura practically flowing through its body like a
cloud of eternal sadness; and in front of it stood another figure, pure bright
light almost creating a halo behind…giving the allusion of the final
confrontation of the Good and Evil.
‘Join me…take another
body,’ a very cold and cruel voice echoed, ‘…your powers shall remain intact.’
‘I won’t take
another’s body nor would I experience death again,’ a very firm voice
replied. ***
‘Why do you care to
protect the shrine of the God whom you hated all your life?’**** This voice
is much lighter…it probably belongs to the Suzaku Star, Tasuki.
No reply came…
…a cold pale hand showed the owner of the last voice the
Shrine of Seiryu. It was perfectly well maintained, the water is flowing the
same way it use to and the gigantic statue of Seiryu royally overlooked upon
the encroachers.
A strange glittering stone is present at the feet of
Seiryu……..it was a tear-drop crystal…………
‘This is what the Maiden of
Seiryu has chosen for her Talisman,’ the cold voice finally replied…his
almost transparent face showed some concealed warmth as his mind replayed the
secretly treasured conversation of so long a time ago.
The intruders took the
shimmering crystal in their hand and the entire Shrine transformed into nothing
but ruins.
………..several ghostly visions
appeared before them...all of them had one thing in common—
They were all crying……..
……….
The distant voice spoke again:
‘That is what the true Talisman
of Seiryu is:
……..tears over having died
meaninglessly for no purpose……..’
The intruder opened and showed
his palm…on his palm rests the twinkling crystal…
………..Yui’s tear drop crystal ear-ring!
Yui’s eyes opened abruptly.
She looked for anything to provide
her a clue to disbelieve all the so very realistic dreams she saw, but all she
can see now is the bright light of the day.
“Now the beauty opens her eye,”
Tetsuya’s face showed unadulterated bliss, he is in the mood today.
Her sleep addled brain quickly registered her
current surroundings and she regained her composure; she is in no mood to
indulge in any pillow talk, so quickly set in some formal conversation,
“Am I late for work?”
“What, work!” Tetsuya practically
shouted, his face wore a horrified expression, “Don’t tell me you forgot
again…today is the 26th of October, your birthday, dearest.”
Both of them were still naked.
Seeing Yui’s befuddled expression, he smirked and started to kiss all over her
body randomly; his hands sensuously roamed across her flanks and thighs as his
lips very gently sucked her skin.
Yui felt warm as she clearly
remembered all the happenings of the last night, it was not their first time
together but even in the midst of passion he never ever losses his extreme
gentleness; however, in spite of all the soothing feelings, she must leave now.
“Tet,” Yui stopped him from any
further indulging, “listen its important…”
Tetsuya let go of her knowing
better from her voice when to argue and when not to, and Yui prepared to leave their
bed,
“We have a very important deal to
discuss with a foreign company today…maybe we are signing the contract too, if
things go well. It comes under my discretion…I must leave now.”
Saying this, she left a very naked
Tetsuya on the bed, when suddenly, her feet tipped lightly with a strange box.
It was then that Yui noticed the
entire floor is filled with boxes of different shapes, all wrapped with
colorful papers; they all were presents from Tetsuya on Yui’s birthday.
For the briefest of moments,
Yui’s face showed a strange kindness that was totally alien to her personality
since a very long time now. They smiled at each other with visible regret.
Yui is perfectly happy with her luck today…she reached her
office, prepared everything required for the meeting with perfect timing, &
best of all she feels no regret even after bidding bye to her boy-friend so
unceremoniously for the day.
This is the one place where she can truly be herself…ambitious, self-dependant, smart, cool,
powerful and manipulative.
…as opposed to what she was…dependant, kind, loving, feeble minded and trusting.
Yes, trusting others is precisely what she loathes doing now!
………..
The business tycoons all settled down and Yui took her
position…and then, the same mundane chore began- introductions, product
descriptions, discussions, profit maximizations and so on.
And as usual, the moguls started speaking and spreading
rumors about the greatest of them all—Allan César, the magnate CEO and
president of Alnestro, one of the most leading companies in the world and the
one with which Yui’s company is looking forward to develop some business
relations.
They say, he is an eccentric
man, strongly introvert yet his
information network is quite on par with that of the US Governments; a man of sheer will and determination,
extremely focused, a perfectionist no
less, a manipulative boss never
failing to derive the maximum output from his subordinates and equals alike…it
is believed there is nothing he can’t do to establish his own goals; he never
recognizes anyone as a friend other than apparently, and makes a formidable enemy reputed for
manipulating and causing complete destruction of his rivals…degrading them from
the height of their glory first, making them suffer one hell of despair and
finally getting rid of those pathetic lives.
Yet, he is quite popular amongst his acquaintances, both men
and women alike due to his magnanimous personality and riches, and of course,
his physical charms…in short, he is blessed with everything one may dream of…as
a result lots of controversies surround him, starting from his affairs with
people of both sexes, to his associates in the under-world, to some illegal
corporate strategies often employed by him…blah, blah…
Yui simply listened absent mindedly to everything useless
being said when a simple comment drew her attention…
“He leads a life like
that of a Hollywood star.”
‘Star’ is all she heard and then, softly sighed as she realized
the subject of their feigned conversation…Gods, how she wishes that the special
guest to whom the decision making part is entrusted may arrive soon!
“Sir Allan has
arrived,” someone informed.
Everybody was quite shocked including Yui…some of them knew
prior that their CEO may come which is why they are now discussing how their
Lord Allan desired to visit Japan someday but on this business dealing…it must
be a pleasant diversion for him.
………….
He took his seat gently, all his movements are slow and very graceful…practically everyone in the room was staring at him.
Yui’s heart clenched in her chest seeing his face…blond
hair…those hauntingly blue frozen yet seductive eyes…
Things went smoothly in the entire meeting…Yui spoke
elegantly as if nothing has happened; Lord
Allan was extremely calm and concentrated on every single words, actions and
gestures of Yui…
Yui tried hard not let her eyes wander on him longer than is
necessary and convinced herself every time that she is not being stared at by
him…but each time she would find his
eyes looking intently at her and each
time she would convince herself that frequent eye contact is common amongst the
Western culture…
………….
The deal is signed and Lord Allan shook hands with
everyone…and finally, turn came for Yui too,
“Miss Hongo, it’s a
pleasure to see you,” they shook hands as Lord Allan continued eagerly, his
voice reserved, cool and comforting, “…I
have a fascination with the Japanese culture, and…for quite a long time now, I
have been anticipating to…meet you.”
His intonation, the rich tone of his voice and the deep slur
with the short pauses all touched Yui, she colored a little but replied with
equal elegance,
“I assure you
Allan-san, the pleasure is all mine.”
He chuckled softly and replied,
“Our reputations really do travel faster than us, don’t they?”
Yui smiled back.
It was quite late already and Yui is planning to leave for
her home…the entire day’s events, especially that conversation and his voice
kept on recurring in her head throughout the day.
‘He may look like
Nakago but they are only look alike and…it’s impossible in reality’, Yui
comforted herself for what seems like the hundredth time in the day!
She stood up from her chair when she noticed a beautiful
card…
Would you be so kind as to spend a simple evening with a humble
foreigner?
Thank you
…………………..ALLAN
The words are in beautiful cursive writing….The card also
includes his best wishes on her birthday as well as his contact number.
Yui furrowed her brows, ‘his
information network is really even better than the governments…but what does he
want from me?’
Yui took the card in her hand and looked at the night sky
through the window of her cabin…
‘Stars………..do you really mean to mock
me…again?’
A/N: This one has
got (a bit modified dialogues) references from:
*Sanbou Den-where Chichiri & Tasuki recovers the three Talisman of
Seiryu (Nakago’s spirit was guarding),
Byakko & Genbu.
**
Dialogue from FY
*** FY
first OVA series (conversation between Tenko & Nakago’s spirit).
****
Seiran Den-which shows how much Nakago hated everything to do with Seiryu (to
the extent that he worshipped Tenko in the Seiryu Shrine!)
Please tell me what do you guys think…all suggestion, ideas,
criticisms and others are welcome. In the next chap, Yui and Nakago (Allan)
will be meeting but things may not go well & there will be lots of
complications. Keep reading.
Please do review.
