the harbringer and the fair maiden

Chapitre 2

where am i ? who is she ? why am i not pushing her back ? i look around me to find i was somewhere else than my room i felt the girls head leave my shoulder groaning a bit "ayaka dear are you okay? if one of them is bothering you in your free time tell me i'll make sure they won't bother you again" i close my eyes and lean closer to her 'i feel safe in her arm why ?' i gently hsake my head "no it's not that it's just i realized something" she look down at me and kissed my forehead laughing a bit "oh ? and as your lover can i know ?" i blush a bit and hide my face 'so i'm dreaming that SHE this beautifull girl is my partner' i pull away a bit to look at her face "i never trully realized how safe i felt in your arm" she looked suprised before laughing a bit i pout and felt as she cup my face to look at her directly in her eyes she had a smirk "i see~ is this why everytime you see me you hug me ?" i gulp and try to look away but find myself unable too has my body move on it's own bringing her face even closer "i'll take that as a yes" her face became closer to mine i felt her breath on my lips and i close my eyes i felt her lips on mine i smile softly in the kiss i felt a light giggle coming from her as she picked me upshe broke away and was about to kiss my neck when-

"my lady it is time to wake up" i open my eyes to see my room and not the manor 'trully was a dream huh ? but it felt so...real...' i look to see one of the servant there "oh ? i suppose there has been an ermengency as i said that no one should wake me up unless an emergency" the servent bow a bit more "my lord order me to wake you up as his work cannot wait a lot more longeur my lady" i stayed silent and stand up my kimono falling just under my shoulders "then warn him i am now awake and getting ready also tell thoma to prepare my breakfast if you could" she bow as a nod and turn around before leaving me alone in my room i gulp at the uneasy feeling that grasp my mind 'no need to dwell on it now a dream is a dream and will be forgotten while we go on our days even if it felt...so real...' i shook my head and start to take my clothes who were on the my desk i pick them up and left for the bathroom nearby my room once there i took a quick shower before putting my clothes after drying myself with a towel i sigh as i then proceed to walk over my brother to be met with thoma and a tray food and tea on it i told me to follow me to my brother room he nod and do so "say thoma can i get a little briefing of he's job or do you not know a thing ?" thoma close his eyes trying to remember anything he open his eyes "all i know is that it's about a travel my lady nothing more" i frown a bit and when we arrived i let thoma pass first as i hold the door open for him " ah sister and thoma ?" i turn to him and smile i sat down next to his desk with the tray carefully put next to me "also goodmorning my lady" i nod at him and watch as he serve a cup of tea to me i turn to ayato who took a document out and give it to me as i read i notice the writting was shaky like someone wrote with a trembling hand "brother i don't understand why so much secret ?" he gulp and look at thoma who nod and left the room "a harbringer might come to inazuma sister from the rumor it might be a lady but no one know which they are" i sigh a bit and look outside

i thouth for a moment 'rumors can be quite bothersome but i suppose some of them can be true' i turn back to ayato with a smile and gently put my hand over his "they can be only rumors brother there is no need to worry yourself and even if one will come don't you think they'll be watch by her grace the shogun ?" ayato smile softly at me and sigh loudly before taking my hand in his "you are right ayaka it's just even since you got that injury i can't help but feel like your safety should come first" i frown and gently hit him he froze "my safety is my business to watch over just like your safety is yours you don't need to go out of your way to protect me and make sure no harm come my way" he look down with a smile and stand up i quickly finish my cup and watch as my brother call thoma

when he arrived he took the tray in his arms and lisent to my brother before bowing and leaving us "i have a trip to liyue for work i'll leave some of my work to you and if needed you can work in my office" i nod and watch he now fully left me in the halls i grab my weapond and left the residence in hope to get fresh air it was quite sunny i saw o kid watching the ronin who talk with him explaining the importance oh his job as a guard a small smile made it's way on my lips as i turn i felt a gaze on me an eye percing one i gulp and notice a ronin running and calling the one talking he saied they needed renfort as a boat from the fatui was there my blood run cold 'that's what ayato meant...those rumors are true...but why coming back to inazuma ?' i grab the hilt and ask them where it is the ronin told me and i ran there i was looking around to see any ship and as i was about to arrived i bump into someone i close my eyes bracing for the impact with the ground to felt a hand on my waist keeping me from falling further "are you okay milady ?" i open my eyes to gasp gold met light blue i gulp and regain my own balance i still felt the hand on my waist and answerd "i am but who...are you ?" she pulled away and bowed down a bit as a greeting "my name is lumine milady but may i suggest next time that when you run you mostly look in front of you ?" i nod and noticed her clothing 'she's...a fatui member' she noticed me staring at her ouftit "ah...yes perhaps an actual introduction might be needed i am lumine number 1 of the fatui harbringer my codename is "the crying star" pleasure to meet you lady ?"
