Selection (AkaKuro)

Chapter 24

*Akashi's POV*

The pond kept shimmering, showing different scenes about Tetsuya. From when he was a child to now..

He was so cute as a child.

The next scene I saw him wearing an outfit similar to a dog he was holding, his hair and eyes looked a little darker.

The adorableness made my nose bleed a little.

How could Tetsuya be so... Cute?... I'm a straight man are I not? As of right now, I do not know...

Maybe You.. The Pond will help me figure out how I truly feel.

I kept staring at the magical pond since more of Tetsuya kept popping up, I awed and coo that the images of him when he was little.

But... How did this pond know who Tetsuya was?.....

Akashi Seijuro.... Do you know who I am?..

Who is this...? The pond.. Is speaking to me... The voice... I remember it... Who..

Seijuro.. It's been a long time.. Why haven't you greeted me? Those manners of yours are bad..

... The voice it seems so familiar... Yet I can't put my finger on who it is..

SEIJURO! HOW COULD YOU FORGET ABOUT YOUR PRECIOUS MOTHER!?

"Mother? But she is dead.."

No.. I have been trapped in this pond.. That's why you always felt comfortable here.

I must be going crazy... My mother died to... To.. My father. Did he not actually kill her?

No he didn't. Seijuro, listen to me! Your father trapped me here so he could save me! He was murdered by assassins.. Watch out Seijuro, Your beloved Tetsuya may die because of assassination.

Learn to love him with all your heart..

What? Father was assassinated? Tetsuya might die? Love him with all my heart? I don't think I can Mother... I don't know how to love..

The images of Tetsuya faded away and the shimmering light that was in the pond had disappear. I must be crazy.

I must go back to check up on Tetsuya, as I started heading back, the forest itself was slowly... Withering...

Could it be?.. Was mother dying?

Could it have been her keeping the forest alive?

A few days ago it was just finding a wife now.. It has turned into this.. Does this all have something to do with Tetsuya?

I headed back faster to the palace. What would become of Tetsuya if Satsuki doesn't remove the spell?

I hope HE is alright..
