[Fanfiction-Kannaduki no Miko] The Fantasy of Last Life I ~The Remnant
Sun at Daybreak
Chapter II
"……`Why aren't there any records about what's happening after
defeating Orochis'……You mean Tsuki sama brought this up to you? "
The old priest raised his hoarse voice with surprise.
She lit up a candle on the table, so that after the routine evening
lesson with the priest, she could safely walk back in such darkness to
her dorm by the usual route.
"Yes, she did." She emphasized her tone and nodded. /I have told you
all about it, now can I leave?/
"Tsuki sama……did she ask you anything else?" The old priest sounded
very anxious.
"No, just that." /Please, I want to go back./
He put his hands behind his back and stared at her solemnly.
"Did you……tell her anything?"
"I only talked about what I know." She relied neglectfully, lifted the
candle and started to step out of this spacious Japanese style living
room.
"You didn't say anything about what mikos have to do after defeating
Orochis, did you?"
Clenching the bottom of the candle holder, her hands became slightly
white. She questioned indifferently, with her back still towards the
priest, "You mean the truth of this mission……that we have to kill each
other after eliminating the enemies? "
Even without looking back, she could detect from the congealed air the
priest's disturbed breathes and ashamed feelings.
The people who knew the truth had hid it, because they believed that
destiny could not be altered. They believed that a sacrifice of one or
two maidens' lives for the future restoration of the world was a good
deal, a very honorable task.
If Ame no Murakumo were willing to protect these selfish people, he
himself would not be some God of justice. While showing a taunting
smile, her expressions were also filled with bitterness and sorrow.
"Tsuki sama is a noble miko. She is the one with pure body and soul,
the only one who can accomplish our goal. " She comforted him softly,
"I understand this…… I do. "
"Nobody have told you about this, if only I didn't let you read
through those ancient books…… Maybe now you wouldn't have known―" The
priest shut up abruptly, as he also realized the irresponsible and
irrational blame in his own words.
So she couldn't help answering sarcastically, " I wish I'd be slower
and more stupid in my next life, maybe that will be better for
everybody."
Then she ignored the next would-be reply from the priest and stepped
away from the house to her dorm. As she was passing by a corner of the
corridor, she witnessed under a big tree in the garden the presence of
Tsuki sama.
Tski sama was dressed in a thin and light unpadded white garment, long
enough to reach the ground. A blue gown was thrown over her right
shoulder. Unlike usual, her long hair was released and totally
unrestrained, each of them freely dangling in the night breeze,
eventually merging into the gloom.
The silver-golden moonlight seemed to care for her and her alone, as
if Tsuki sama was the only bright existence in this pitch blackness.
Compared to this young miko, the candle in her own hands appeared so
dim and laughable.
Suddenly, the hot wax from the burning candle dropped on her hands.
The pain withdrew her attention back from the present dreamlike scene.
Her faint gasp finally made Tsuki sama found out behind her back the
figure standing still in the corridor.
At first Tsuki sama's limpid eyes opened wide with surprise, then her
kind and sincere smiling face said her welcome. "Good evening, Hi
sama."
"Good evening……" She mumbled.
"Did you finished the evening lessons for today with the priest?"
"Yes, I did." Satisfied that her fluttering calmed down to some extent
at last, She asked in a soft and gentle tone, "Did your martial art
practices also last till just now?"
"No, it was over a while ago……my master called it a day after he lost
to me for the fifth time." There was embarrassment in her shy smile.
Tsuki sama had always been so modest, and she never felt that
defeating her master was something worth bragging about.
"If so, why are you still here……"
"Relishing the moon."
"Huh?" She looked puzzled.
That strange girl just looked up and glanced at the moon. "Look, we
have a half-moon tonight. The one I like the most in every month. "
At her words, she looked up curiously at the bright half moon hanging
in the sky. "Why do you like the moon at this time? Only one half is
there……" The sad half, she continued silently.
"I like it now because it is only one half." Tsuki sama smiled, "In
poems, the moon often represents poets' yearning for a special
someone. Because the moon is too far to be reached, always hanging in
the vast evening sky all by itself, it becomes the medium of their
longings."
"To show their lingering thoughts for the other unapproachable person?"
Tsuki sama had another slight smile. "Yes……these thoughts turn into
the silver-white moonlight shining upon the darkness, as well as
stating poets' painfulness".
"Such a……sorrowful existence……" She murmured sympathetically.
The young lady shook her head. "People have their own
feelings……However, I think as long as the moon can help the sun during
the day to continue the brightness at night…… then its existence is
fully meaningful. "
"Are these your feelings as the miko of the moon?"
Tsuki sama stared at her silently, and a firm determination showed up
on her face instead of her usual kindness. Then, she answered
tenderly, " The moon exists to help the sun, and I……was born in this
world to assist you."
A bitter smile filled with understanding appeared on Tsuki sama's
face. She continued, "So please don't tell yourself anymore that you
are alone, don't try to persuade yourself that you can live on your
own―because you are NOT alone, nor am I."
The current underneath her eyes quietly generated a blazing mist,
which made her no longer able to see the other girl's face clearly.
"Can't help it even if you aren't willing to." Tsuki sama smiled, as a
breeze was fondling her dark and soft long hair. "Since you are
destined to be with me, it's better to get used to it soon, Hi sama."
She also smiled. This facial action triggered her tears to overflow
out of her eyes. The ample warmth, extreme ease and complete
peacefulness fulfilled her chest. For the first time in her life, she
learned what was gratefulness.
Grateful for her fate arranged by God, this inevitable destiny.
She was fated to be with her. 。
"As you wish."
At her granted positive reply, Tsuki sama beamed with happiness. "When
we are both sixteen, can I ask for a birthday gift from you?"
Birthday gift? She looked at that strange girl with doubts, "……If it
isn't beyond my ability……"
"Call me by my name." Tsuki sama spoke softly, "please call my name on
my sixteenth birthday."
Just that? She nodded.
"Great!" The young lady exhaled relaxingly. "Then what do you want as
a gift, Hi sama?"
"Birthday gifts are for those children who still have their parents."
"Who made the rule?"
"This is the tradition."
"I want to give you one, can't I?" Tsuki sama just wouldn't give up.
She lifted her head to look at the moon, feeling somewhat defeated.
"Then……can you give me a name?" Embarrassed by her own sudden request,
she added awkwardly, "If you want me to call you by your name, then
you can't call me 'Hi sama' anymore, right? It would sound so strange,
as if you are my servant or―Er, I don't mean to have you as my
servant, I mean, I, I don't have a name, so―"
Oh God, someone please come and finish her off right there. She cried
out to herself with shame and frustration. As she lowered down her
head, her voice was also dimming.
"……Do you want to be someone besides 'Hi sama'?" The girl with limpid
eyes asked knowingly.
"……Maybe it is too late already……" She stared at the corridor floor.
"I don't have the slightest idea about how to be a girl besides 'Hi
sama'."
"You are fine like this. I like your stuttering nervous look."
Her face turned into a gorgeous red immediately at that low and
genuine voice. She managed a weak protest, "P…please stop making fun
of me, Tsuki sama."
"I swear! You are so cute when you blush!"
She had completely hidden her head in front of her chest.
Suddenly a warm hand raised her chin, and made her look into those
lake-like clear eyes. Without any notice, Tsuki sama had come to only
one step away from her.
Tsuki sama's slender white fingers gently slid her tea-colored hair
aside from her forehead. The remnant warmth from those fingertips
transmitted through her skin, bringing a strong wave of shock and
burning pain.
It seemed that her eye sockets were getting hot again.
Tsuki sama did not say even one more sentence. Instead, she just wiped
off the crystal-like tears with the back of her hands away from her
cheeks. Even if that young miko were wondering why she couldn't stop
her tears, she obviously hid it very well.
--So well that she wanted to throw herself into her arms right there,
right now, and willfully enjoy all the understanding and comfort
provided by her companion.
Yes, this person was her companion; the other one to share the
destiny, the other half to shoulder the mission together with her.
She was not alone. From the beginning to the end, her life had been
interwound with a peculiar someone, no matter how far apart their
physical existences were, no matter if there were mountains and seas
in between them. Life after life, incarnation after incarnation, her
being would always be only a half.
She would be yearning forever for this person in front of her to
fulfill her soul.
Even if in her next life she could not remember the gratefulness that
she had right now, she still believed that this person would always be
patiently waiting for her.
Waiting for the moment when they could stare into each other's eyes once again.
==========================
"Ah―Wait, slow down!" Himeko is running out of breath. She doesn't
know how many miles she has been following that little lost puppy for,
the only thing that she does know is that she has never exercised this
much in her life before.
The puppy has sneaked into the rose garden of the school. She looks
around awkwardly, and when seeing no other people are about, she also
sneaks in just like that little cutie.
"Ouch!" Himeko screams out, for her hair is caught by the bushes. Why
is she always so clumsy, even if she just wants to get into a garden?
"……Is this your puppy?"
From above her head comes an unbelievable charming female voice, cool and calm.
With surprise, Himeko raises her head and in the next moment, she
looks into those beautiful eyes as clear as lakes.
......There is an ancient shrine on the moon, quietly protecting the
common world for thousands of years……The thousand-year legend goes on
and on, with the ever-lasting cycle of encounter and sorrow……Here, the
two young ladies have initiated their story of this life.
