Entwined

Chapter Thirteen (13)

** During the one week before the last training with Chaston and Miss Trinity. **

It was a peaceful day out in the woodland; the susurration of the leaves as they moved in the wind back and forth as they eventually swayed among the soil. Sheer amount of sunlight beamed through the leaves above on the trees that sheltered us like a cage made by the mother of nature; It was the perfect setting for an outdoor meditation.

Mira guided the way as Soji followed behind, towards an isolated area where a river stream passed by next to them.

"Here is the perfect spot" Mira whispered in satisfaction and Soji nodded in agreement as he took in the atmosphere. "Ready lover?" She smirked.

"Always" He flirted back.

Mira and Soji plopped down on their mat as they both faced the river in a cross legged position, with palms positioned upwards on their thighs.

"Close your eyes" Mira said in a calm, soothing voice and with command Soji followed.

"Fill your body with air" Mira and Soji took a deep breath in as their stomach expanded "Slowly breathe out" Mira puckered her lips as she left a space between them so the air can escape.

"Be aware of your breath, feel the sensation as they pass into your nose and find its to fill your body"

Soji always enjoyed meditating with Mira. It was the most 'back to earth' moment in his life. With all that had been going on in the league, mediating always kept him feeling grounded and relaxed.

"If your thoughts begin to distract you, acknowledge them. Then slowly convert back to focusing on your breathing"

As time went by, Mira and Soji both got mentally distracted during meditation.

Soji's thoughts strayed onto his son, Liam. Liam was Soji's apple of his eye, his best friend and his motivation in life. Soji remembered all the good times spent with Liam and was saddened with the fact that he wasn't allowed to talk about Liam.

Mira's thought drifted to the thought about the fact that she's going back to her hometown soon. Where her mother is at home probably thinking about her and Layla.

I miss my mom. I miss home. I miss my life. I miss my Chaston.

Mira always tend to ignored her thoughts and focus more on her breathing. She was tired of feeling the pain of leaving her loved ones behind but she did it for a good reason- a mighty one; She did it for Layla.

Missing Chaston was an ache that would come and go, always to return in quiet moments such as this one. All she ever wanted was to keep him close, to talk, laugh and play like they once did. The only good that came out of this was the fact that she knew Layla was safe. But she couldn't help but think that hopefully in a few years, they'll be reunited as one again...

But who am I kidding? Chaston isn't going to wait that long for me. He has much more to focus on, than just me... By time I'm ready for him he'll already be married with wife and kids.

Wow.

Wife and kids.

I wanted to  be his wife and have his kids.

Mira opened her eyes as the thought came in her head. She jumped up off her mat and immediately clapped her hands together causing Soji to jump out of his meditation.

"Well I guess that's it" Mira hastily injected as she bent over fondling her mat.

"Mira what's wrong?" Soji asked completely puzzled with the way she was acting.

"Nothing" she nonchantly responded "Nasmaste" She bowed to him before sprinting off. Soji immediately chased after her leaving all his belongings behind.

"Mira!" As the two ran through the forest, Soji was making his way closer and closer to Mira; Luckily, she was way too distracted by the thought of Chaston to focus on running away. She eventually stopped in her tracks causing Soji to bump right into her.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mira..." Soji apologized as he grabbed onto her shoulders and turned her around to face him. She wasn't crying but you could've seen the sadness drowning her.

"What's wrong?"

Mira thought about opening up to Soji and talking about Chaston and everything else that bothers her but she didn't want to put her problems on him; she also wasn't ready to talk about it.Soji has never opened up to her about anything and that made her feel as though that their relationship is only based on now.

"Nothing. I just couldn't focus, but I'm good now" Mira clenched her jaws. She saw that Soji was about to question her, so she made her way closer to him as she traced her fingers against his lips. Mira bit her bottom lip before making eye contact and sliding her hands around his neck and placing her lips against his.

"Mira" He whispered to her. When he saw that he had her attention he smirked "This is sweet what you're doing here but I still want to know what's wrong"

Mira rolled her eyes before pushing her body off Soji and walking away "I can't believe that didn't work" She mumbled under her breath.

-

"Mr.Blood, sending Mira back to her hometown is a terrible idea! She'll just find a way to stay or she can go see Trinity which is even worse" Namari protested. "Send me instead! Because we need Naosu and we can't lose her again... Let me go and I'll bring Asa back"

"Enough Namari" Mr.Blood finally spoke after allowing Namari to go on with his rant "I know exactly what I'm doing and by now you should know to never underestimate Blood"

"Fine, but think about letting me go instead of Soji"

"No, Namari. Naosu will come back! She won't leave Layla here alone and I'll make sure she obeys"

Namari then nodded in agreement "Why do you want her to go so badly and not any else?"

"In due time you'll find out why"

Namari bowed before Mr. Blood who stood with his hands behind his back as he took in the view outside the window. Blood watched out as Mira and Soji playfully made their way back to the compound.

"Everything is falling perfectly into place, just as I planned"
