CH-4:
SONG OF THE SEIRAN PEARL
Yui felt utterly disoriented and purposeless even as feet
carried her to Allan’s apartment. Her mind is whirling with all mixed emotions
that she really don’t want to ponder over; maybe a simple chat with him, if
that is what he is after, will help her get better hold on reality…besides Yui
is not the coward to run away especially when her insides are burning with curiosity and…fearful longing.
At first when she met him at the conference yesterday, Yui
was shocked and even felt sick to the stomach…the second time, when she
received his message, she was indifferent and maybe a bit sad…but the third time when she received an invitation call from
him today, she felt anger and sharply
declined it; but perhaps Destiny has other plans for her, and Yui felt restless
and an indomitable urge to meet him face to face…to better convince herself
that he is ‘not that special one’.
She didn’t disclose all these to Tetsuya…she never did, as a
matter of fact, speak about such trifle things to him!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
She was received warmly by an attendant, and Yui must agree
that the interior decorations are quite amazing though too extravagant…and the
room is too immense as well…
A huge fresco of an enormous blue Dragon entwined with a massive red
Phoenix in an everlasting epic battle especially caught her eye…
Finding her gazing at the immense artwork, the attendant
softly replied,
“Rearranging the floors is one of Allan-sama’s hobbies.”
Yui’s attentions were drawn back to the attendant and she
smiled in appreciation,
“Yes…so that explains why this place looks not like a part
of this Hotel at all.”
“Should I take it that you have been into this place, with
your clients…before?” a very gentle voice spoke fluidly from behind her that
had Yui practically jumping off from her sit.
Yui looked at her back to find him half lounging almost
sensuously on the huge ornate sofa while three women are treating him; one
massaged his calves, another softly rubbed his feet with her hair dripped in
aromatic oils while the third gently combed through his golden hair…
Yui was visibly shocked at the scene before him…and
embarrassed too for not catching a glimpse of him especially when he was here
all along; also she felt a searing
sensation at the pit of her stomach as she noticed the near nude conditions
of the young girls serving him…it was jealousy…and the very thought of it
made her face scowl!
One of the corners of his lips slowly rose in a sadistic
beam as he slowly tilted his head pretending to decipher her obvious emotions,
“Do I sense something
burning?” he teased openly.
“Is that how you
welcome a guest?” Yui retorted tartly.
His smile broadened as he dismissed his servant girls with a
gentle wave of his hand,
“I do beg your pardon…you did refuse the invitation and so, I wasn’t at all prepared to greet
you; even though, I must admit, I had a feeling
you would arrive for which I did have everything else well prepared.”
Yui steadied her features even as her mind wandered on his
words;
… ‘Everything else
well prepared…what does he mean by that?’
He slowly rose and stood to greet her, “you are most
welcome, Miss Hongo or should I say if
you would prefer…Miss Yui.”
Yui’s mind whirled at
his use & choice of the honorific, but she isn’t a weak girl…to be frightened
by such an odd coincident either!
Allan took Yui’s
hand and both of them sat on his huge ornate sofa…
Yui’s eyes lingered for a very short time over his
beautifully chiseled muscular abs and chest which are easily visible since he
is wearing nothing other than his bath robe, a snowy white silky one with
glossy patterns of pale blue flowers on it; his hands and feet are beautifully
manicured, his golden hair must been recently washed for it smells divine and
looks softer than the finest of all silks, and his pale unblemished skin is
practically glowing, it must have been massaged with those aromatic oils as
well…Yui have seen Nakago naked to his waist only once inside the camp when he
was injured by Tamahome and she could easily perceive the resemblance he has
with her Star; in spite of all that she
isn’t the kind of girl to be influenced by mere physical beauty!
Yui herself has worn nothing special, not feeling like
dressing up at all…only a black gown with lacy borders that revealed her
cleavage a bit and velvet patterns onto it, and the only piece of jewelry that
she wore is an elegant hairpin studded with diamonds; she did look neither
flamboyant nor sexy but it all gave her a very Royal air.
“So, Allan san…what is it that made me so valuable to you as
to receive an invitation from one of the greatest of all corporate leaders?”
Yui’s spoke with the grace of a professional, although her overtones of
flattery, teasing and contempt didn’t go unnoticed by him.
He was watching her closely and showed not an inch of
reaction, it’s as if he had been
expecting her to speak those words only; so when he smiled coldly, Yui felt a
bit disappointed.
“I was hoping…at least you would understand me,” he said
coolly.
“Understand what?” Yui asked.
He smiled again calmly, “There are certain things I desired to
know… and from you…things that have neither any association with our dealings
nor any with our goal.”
Yui slightly frowned.
“And such…discussions should be discreet, that’s why you are
summoned here.”
‘Discreet
discussions…where is this conversation taking us,’ Yui wondered but asked
anyway,
“So, what is it that Allan san would want to know?”
“Hmmm….why is it that you denied and
then came again to see me?” Allan teased.
“That’s needless...” Yui snapped, but a part of her really
wanted to hear his other questions…she had a feeling that ‘he’ may have been reborn too, just like Taka; and the very thought made her head whirl!
But he waited patiently for her reply knowing full well it
will come soon enough…
And she replied in a small voice, “Because you resemble someone
I used to know a long time ago.”
Yui knew how neatly she has dug her own grave now for she
can bet her life on the next question which would be the ultimate disaster for
her!
She felt angry with herself as well, for no matter how hard
she tries she ends up being a puppet in his
hands every time…and she is the one who does the ridiculous things, he never even has to coerce her into
anything!
…and the very thought
that currently she is treating both Nakago and Allan on the same plane made her
even more furious!
Allan looked on her reticent and dilemma painted face from
the corner of his eyes as she tried to combat with her rising emotions as well
as think of an escape before he can squeeze out anything more fanciful and unreal from her…and then, their eyes met…
“…and so was I,” Allan voice came out soft as a whisper and
seductive as a siren’s call.
Yui’s heart clenched painfully within her chest, she can
feel herself sweating and her heart pounding thunderously but succeeded in
keeping herself aloof…
‘How
can he stay so calm when I am…sick sadistic bastard!”
Yui spared a glimpse towards Allan who was deeply contemplating
something…the entire situation & its foreboding made Yui’s head throb
painfully.
…but both of them maintained their silence as none dared to
speak or interrupt this peaceful stillness…
Allan appeared to be
content with just sitting beside her and enjoying this silence…as if the next
step of their conversation may disappoint him if Yui’s reply is unfavorable; he
is not confident & obvious of her reactions now as he was only a bit before…
as if he is living in this moment only and cares not what happens before or
after it…
Allan stood up and said detachedly,
“I do have something to show you...”
Yui sighed in relief…’at
least this isn’t: Who was that person?...’
…and the next moment, he arrived with a katana in his hand,
it’s a beautiful sword made of the best quality of finely tampered Japanese
steel; he unsheathed the katana and said,
“It’s really difficult
to explain this to you Miss Yui…but I have been very much attached to Japanese
swords; it’s as if I have been trained for years…”
Yui’s throbbing of head and nausea increased; she felt a
reeling sensation all around…
Allan, unaware of her condition, continued smoothly,
“…besides war
strategies have always interested me though I never got a chance to be in the army!”
Yui felt claustrophobic, she could see only darkness through
the corners of her eyes…
Suddenly he smirked, “…But
the thing I like best about any katana is the NAKAGO…”
Yui reached out both of her hands to hold him and then………
“Miss Yui…are you alright?”…………….and that’s the last thing she has
heard.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yui’s body felt so cold, she remembered reaching forth her
hands; and she desperately wanted to go back to that time, when she was with
Allan…now she wants to ask him lots of things too.
…so, she must reach him, she must…her eyes sharply opened when she felt a very warm and
masculine hand wrap itself around her hand,*
“Miss Yui…I shouldn’t
have troubled you; its unforgivable to have made you sick like this,” a
very soothing voice greeted her.
The entire room whirled around…Yui realized that the owner
of the voice is Allan but she isn’t much sure either, but certainly she wants
that voice to belong to somebody else!
“Where am I?” Yui moaned; she can’t keep her eyes open much
longer, the room is whirling too much!
“In my bed…you
collapsed suddenly and now you are running a low fever, besides low b.p; you
must stop working so hard.” Allan’s words are so comforting to her.
“B-but…” Yui stuttered.
“Don’t worry Miss
Yui…you are safe here,” Allan gently stroked her head fondling her hair as
she involuntarily tightened her hold on his fist; Yui closed her eyes and was
asleep the next instant.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Yui’s eyes fluttered open…it’s a beautiful sunny day and a
warm blush colored her cheeks as she stirred and felt the amazing warmth and
silky feel of the bed sheets against her naked skin…
But wait…naked skin!
Yui moved some more and discovered a warm hand still
wrapping her palm…so, it isn’t a dream; Allan was holding her hand last night…
…and then, she discovered someone’s deep, relaxed and even
breathing as well as the feel of silky smooth masculine skin against her own.
That means…ALLAN HAS SLEPT WITH HER!
In a fit of fury, she leapt at him who was instantly wake,
he greeted her with a little smile, and she relaxed as she discovered they
hadn’t made love last night.
She is no more that
little girl who can be fooled into believing that she has been raped anymore!
“Good morning, Miss Yui…last night you had a bit of fever
and you complained of being both hot and cold & your clothes were too tight
for which we had removed all of them, besides you also told me not to leave
you…again,” he said politely excusing
himself for ending up on the same bed wearing only a bath robe with her.
“It doesn’t matter,” Yui chanted distantly, her insides felt heavy and empty at the
same time…she won’t mind this trifle thing at all…after all, had she not slept
with many of her clients lots of times before; whereas
she had only lain beside him in the same bed, they didn’t do anything of that
kind.
It’s never that she
felt like betraying Tetsuya or anything like that though!
“What’s the matter
Miss Yui…did I make you sad again?” Allan asked.
“Why do you think like that?” Yui asked as she slowly sat
not bothering to cover her naked breasts in front of him.
“You must not harbor
such feelings for yourself,” Allan caressed her, moving his hand sensuously
from her hair to her back and neck…Yui let herself enjoy the sensation for yet
a while, though his eyes never lingered
on her exposed skin nor did he caress her with any passionate lust but it’s
still pleasing; a feast to her senses!**
“Do you know what I was thinking?”
Yui asked teasingly; although honestly, she herself has no idea what exactly
she was thinking back then.
“Miss Yui…last night,
you held me so tightly…you called me by ‘Nakago’
so many times,” he chanted the same way Yui did a moment ago, knowing full
well how soon Yui will fume at him,
“I wanted to comfort
you so badly and-”
“You do think I am a
slut…so I sleep in arms of one man and call out another don’t you,” Yui
slapped him away*** and neatly wrapped a bed-sheet covering her entire body and
then, turned back at him retorting,
“Well…I don’t give a damn about men like you; you all are
same!”
“You may call me by that name; if it pleases you, it pleases me,” he replied in the same relaxed
tone as if Yui hadn’t even have screamed or hit at him.
His unresponsiveness further aggravated her fury and she
intended to leave his room when suddenly she saw the huge portrait on the wall
in front of her…
…………it is her picture; she is clad in a silky and flowing blue robe,
her hair is short and she wore jewelries…….it was the outfit that she wore
while summoning East God Seiryu!!
A chill ran down her entire form…
………….in the portrait, she is
wearing only one ear-ring!!
Yui looked back at Allan who was looking at her
emotionlessly…and she smiled a sad smile,
“……….Nakago.”
“Yes…Miss Yui,” ……..and he smiled back to her.

A/N: I do
apologize for such a late update, but at last this huge chapter is finished! I
will add two more chapters to it & it will be finished!
‘SEIRAN’ means ‘silent orchid’ (Yui couldn’t tolerate
his silence here); besides this term
is used because of its resemblance to ‘Seiran
Den’ or ‘The Indigo Legend’ (the
Nakago novel where SEIRAN is the name of a blue pearl that has special
significance in Nakago’s life).
I will be writing more Nakago/Yui stories (falling more
& more in love with Nakago & Yui too ^_^); and one of them will contain
his exact feelings for Yui as the Maiden of Seiryu & Tamahome too (it will
better depict his personality, for in this story Nakago is a bit more inclined
towards affection than manipulation just as he appeared kind in the OVAs!)…so,
please read those stories as well.
Also, I would like to thank k_l_v my first reviewer who really
approved of this story…all comments, ideas & flames are very much welcome
& appreciated; please review!
I tried to draw some analogies in this chap with that of the
anime; so if you are interested, here it goes:
* it’s quite parallel to that time when Yui on
her post rape trauma used to have nightmares and Nakago did comfort her
(holding her hand & all that).
** Nakago never felt anything precisely close
to lust seeing Yui half naked (like at that time when Yui appeared only wearing
her white shirt, no underclothes! Though it’s not apparent but her rape trauma
& Tamahome’s constant rejection have very much wounded her confidence &
self-esteem…& she felt like a prostitute in her own eyes; she kept on
showing herself naked to Nakago on many occasions even though she knew he was kind
of spying)…and, we may consider that she was expecting Nakago to make advances
on her as well (she repeatedly kept on asking him whether he loves her later in
the anime, which shows how much she wants to be loved truly by someone)…its
only my personal opinion though!
*** Nakago is slapped rather often by both Yui
and Miaka (Yui called him a monster when he sent Tamahome to Konan to kill all
the Suzakus & slapped him; he never tried to evade it & smiled his
trade mark smirk…immediately after that Yui ran away; so both Yui & Allan
more or less gave the same responses here too).
