Chapter 14 The Past, Confession and Rituals

June opens her eyes and saw Yuki eyes full of concern.

"Ken she is awake!" Yuki excitedly calls.

Ken who was outside went inside the room.

" How do you feel?" Yuki ask

" Im ok and I am hungry." And upon saying that word they heard her stomach growl.They all laugh at the embarrassing sound.

So they took June outside and bring her to the kitchen. When the servant saw them it bows down and run and hurriedly tell their clans head that June is awake.

When the leader heard the news he ordered a feast for them all. The servant gave them food first while others are preparing for the feast.

The feast will be held at noon and they were ask to stay.

Yuki took a chance to ask June. Because before she lost consciousness she heard June scream that she is her sister.

They are walking and now far from the clan business and bustling sound. Their feet brought them to the water falls. June look at Ken who is following them at the distance.

" I think he has to know too since he is the leader and you treat him as a brother."

Yuki Nodded and called Ken.

They sat on the stone and June tells them the truth.

" According to our parents you were 5 years old when our maid took you. The maid was paid by our fathers enemy. Because dad is a well known and a business magnate he has many enemies, so he took extra care his children but no matter how rich you are and well protected something like this happens.

The kidnapping happens when mom went on a trip on so is dad. The children are left in the care of the maids and butlers.And since you are the youngest at that time the maid fooled you and lure you to her evil plan.

" Dad and mom did all his best and power to look for you but never find you.He hired the best detective but they failed."

" But dad never gave up he keeps on looking and hired many detectives that went to different parts of the Philippines. Then one of the private detective found an info regarding you.

Someone match you at an orphanage. Dad investigate and found out that youhave been place in one of the orphanage. But the orpahanage no longer had you.

Dad bribe and put lots of donations just to get the info from the headmistress of the orphanage.Then the mistress gave info that the man who took you is a Japanese.

The detective also got info on some kids living there by giving foods and candies. That you were mistreated at the orphanage.The girls there bully you for you are so cute and beautiful and tend to cry a lot. But they also bullied you because you speak english.The man took you because when he came you speak to him in Japanese and English."

And while June is telling them that Yuki gradually remembers a vivid scene of her past. She was a child bullied by the other kids and when she learns that she could be adopted she took her chance in one of the person came there. The man is Daisuke a Japanese, Yuki speak to him in english but apparently Yuki notice the man is Japanese and talks to him in that language too.That made the man adopt Yuki.

Yuki did not remember her childhood much nor their parents.She does not even remembers why was she on orphanage but her language and skills are there.

The man keep asking her for her name but Yuki did not even remember her name and was called Susie by the sister at the Orphanage.

When the man took her Yuki was given another name. Her name from there on became Yuki Arizawa.

The man send her to school and also trains her.Yuki thoughts it was only for self protection so she practice a lot. Then Yuki was introduce to Ken who is older than her to teach her martial arts too. And Ken protected and teach Yuki he treat her like his own sister. That' s why when Ken is looking for member the bracelet led him to Yuki.Ken was happy but scared at having her to fight monster but she trains hard.That why Yuki always respect Ken and calls him brother.

All this things Yuki remember but not her childhood. She even remember Eiichi as she keep on thinking.

" Then dad sent men in Japan it took us too long to find the man who invited you. There are no traces of him.Then we saw your picture. Maybe you wonder how did we recognize you but you look like our mother."June continues.

"You got our mothers eyes and nose and hair.Indeed very pretty."June said while holding the curly hair of Yuki.

" It was really accident that the detective found you. He accidentally saw moms picture in dads wallet and says he saw a girl looking like that at the inn in Japan. In one of the travel the detective does not know at that time that you are the one he is looking for. He just took fancy of picturing you. Because you are so fair and beautiful and kept your pictures as as majestic souvenir. He even joke to dad this is the prettiest japanese i saw. And will court and marry you if he is not a married man. He showed dad the picture of you very proud.And dad could tell as he saw your picture that truly you are his long lost child.

Dad immediately called and send me, so here I am." June said ending her story.

" And I'm sorry if I lied because too many happen at that time I became one of your member, and Im so scared of telling you the truth because you might not believe me.And I'm also afraid of your reaction and rejection."

"At first I was so sad that you lie to me. And Iots of questions runs to my mind. But after seeing you so tired just helping and saving us yesterday made my heart forgive you."Yuki says crying and hug June.Now she know why she like this girl because she is her sister.

"Can I call you ate?" Yuki ask.

June nodded she is older than Yuki.Yuki is only 18 still so young at her age.

Ken just watch as the two sister reunites.Yuki ask a lot of stuff from June and June tries to answer everything.

Then Yuki looks at the falls and invited June to take bath she wants to forget the lonely past and let those negative things be flown by the waterfall and take it away.So Yuki took all of her clothes and runs to the water laughing.

Ken walk away after seeing Yuki threw her first cloth and also to give this two a private moment but he was called by Yuki.

" Ken dont leave us join us and be a watcher a pervert may come!" Yuki inviting Ken.

" Yuki your asking too much for him!"June scolded Yuki.

Yuki just stick her tongue and continues to play in the water.

Ken sat down near June but he is facing the trees and not towards the water.

" Im really sorry that I did lied to you."June said to Ken.

"How sorry are you?"Ken ask seriously.

"I' m going to pay the fine and you can kick me out of the team.Just leave Yuki out of this."

"Who said that Im going to kick you out of the team?" Ken ask more madder his eyebrows almost meet.

" No one says but Im in probationary and I lied!And you also ask me how sorry I am.That is why I'm telling you this as a sincerity of my apology."

"I wont kick you out."

" Really!" June eyes sparks with hope at the last sentence of Ken.

" But I will still punish you!"

June shoulder sank on after hearing those words.

" Are you willing to take the punishment?" Ken ask.Still serious.

June nodded.

" Are you sure your going to accept the punishment?"

"Yes!"

" You were not going to retract your words what ever the punishment is?"

" Yes I wont retract my words whatever is my punishment I will accept it. " June swear at Ken.

" Good!"

"So what is my punishment?"

" Took off all your clothes I want to see you naked." Ken commanded

" What?" Nasisiraan ka na ba?Nakapagtagalog niyang tanung dito.

"Sabi mo susundin mo yung ipapagawa ko.And that is your punishment, took off all your clothes in front of me."Ngingiting sabi nito.

"I hate you!"

" What are you waiting for do it!"

Tinignan ni June si Ken sa mata habang ang lalaki naman ay seryoso na nakatingin sa kanya pero hindi maitatago ang ngiti ng mga mata nito.

Dahil dun Isa isang tinanggal ni June ang butones ng suot na damit. Hinamon siya ng lalaki pwes hayaan nya itong lumuwa ang mata at maakit sa kakatingin sa kanyang katawan. Nasa kalagitnaan na si June sa ginagawa ng may boses ng lalaki silang narinig.

Ken automatically hide her in his back and found Eicchi who is now so furious coming at him.

" You pervert, why are you peeking at Yuki?"

"Me pervert? Peeking at Yuki where do you think I m facing right now? And where do you Think you are facing?"

"She is my bethroted." Eiichi says after realizing that he could see Yuki's naked body.The girl has no inhibitions showering in the falls.He was even jealous of the water who is now hugging Yuki's body. But his body reacts at seeing this sexy girl.Then both of their eyes met that made Yuki jump and hide in the water.

Ken saw what happens to Eiichi.

" So who is the pervert now?"Ken ask

" She is my bethroted so its ok if i see her naked."

"But you are not yet married!"Ken taunt.

Eiichi loose his patience he is going to attack Ken when Yuki appeared in front of him slap him.

" Will you please stop, he is my brother?"

Eiichi did not know how to react and run he was so jealous of this man but Yuki protected him.

Yuki was shock at her actions too that she runs and follows Eiichi leaving Ken and June.

"Yuki!"

" Pabayaan mo na sila!"

" You still have a task to do, Dont you?"

" Yun pa rin ang nasa isip mo!"

"Yes!"

At pagkasabi nun ay hinila niya si June at saka ito hinalikan ng ubod ng lalim.Sa higpit ng yakap sa kanya ni Ken feeling ni June ay mababali na ang likod niya.At halos mapigtalan na ng hininga si June ng humiwalay ang labi nito sa kanya. Ngunit hindi pa nakakabawi si June sa paghinga ay muli siyang hinalikan ni Ken ng mas matagal at malalim.

Ken wanted more but he controls and stop himself and sa hirap na tinig sinabing

" Bumalik na tayo."

They were called in the feast. The foods are flowing.June is just so quiet while everyone is happy.

Hindi niya pwedeng palaguin ang anuman nangyayari sa kanila ni Ken. Dahil hindi siya mahal ng lalaki at anuman ang nararamdaman nito sa kanya ay dala lamang ng init ng katawan.Kainis! Kastigo ni June sa sarili.Natigilan lamang si June ng marinig ang pangalan.

"We would like to propose a toast for this wonderful girl who save us."The great grandafather says.

"Thank you for saving us, if not for your wisdom, compassion and help we are now erase is this island. Because we found out that after killing the heads he plans to destroy the entire village. But you block his plan."

" Thank you!" The whole clan says. Greatgrandfather bow down and so as everyone.

" Oh please I dont deserve such praise." June shyly says.

"No, we are truly indebted to you. But please let me know where did you learn to make this legendary medicine that is only exclusive to our clan.Its been long years since the making of the medicine has been prohibited. Only few people knew this even the records was destroyed so no younger generation could make it. Me , and and the elder warrior knew it since his great grandfather use to make it."

"But also you did not only make it but unlock the mistery of the blood.All along we had done it wrong.So please tell us."

" Well my teacher taught me how to do it.His name is Hideo I called him Master Hideo!"

" Hideo?! Is he Hideo Hissuburo?"

" I dont know, my master never did say to me his surname.But he taught me how to create this legendary medicine that it could heal the most crucial sickness and deadly poison. He even says that it could bring somebody back to life but he said to me not to go that far." June explain.

" My dad knows him and let him teach me.Master Hideo teach me martials arts medicine and other things."

" I could tell and sense that you are speaking to great great great great head we had.After he transfer his leadership of the clan he travels. According to our Ancestor he is travels to look for a disciples."

" I really can't tell but my master is rather young to be your great great great great head."

June says and tells them the appearance of his master.

"He is indeed Hideo Hissuburo,I really dont know how he maintain his young looks but that is not possible for he is a great man." Great granfather said with conviction and ao sure.

" Where is your master then?" Ask by Raizen truly amaze to see a disciple of their legendary head outside the clan.

" My master went to the mountains and cultivates."June says and just by thinking of it June brows crumple she will definitely undergo a painful training when master Hideo comes back.

" If you are a disciple of Legendary Hideo then you should be the clan leader of Hissuburo clan."

" But I am not from your clan!"

" No you are chosen my child!" The great grandfather exclaim.

" Grandfather she is still a girl he needs a man by herside!"

"I know she is a girl and my eyes tells me that she will become complete with an alpha male."

" And speaking of alpha male we have one here!" And the great grandfather and Elder warrior look at Ken.

" If not for his supervision and strong leadership your actions will be not be headed by our clansmen. So we thank you too!" The head said while bowing to Ken.

"Oh please it is my duty and responsibility to believe and protect my teammate." Ken said bowing to respecting the elder.

" Ken I vouch for you, I know you back then and believe in your leadership. Take the leadership of my clan."

Daisuke says bowing to his elders and people.

"Yes I saw an alpha male too, lead our clan to greater glory." The elder warrior says.

"Take it from me Ken, you will be a better than me. You and June can both lead this clan into good welfare.

Ken could not say anything. He cant continuely reject this people so he bows down and accepted.

" I Ken Amano will accept and agree to be a clans head solemly to protect, brings peace harmony and fight for Hissuburo clan!"

They are only waiting for Ken's response and they begin a Ceremony.

They made June and Ken wear the clans costume. Then a head ornament was put ito Ken then Ken gave June a hair pin. This symbolize that they have equal rights on protecting and leading the clan. Afterwards a sake was brought to June and June needs to pour sake on Ken. June does it and Ken was told to do same and they exchange wine.

Then great grandfather tells them to bow to the people.Which June and Ken followed.

When the people saw it they bow down five times. Then cheer and congratulate them.

The feast went on, its already past midnight but the people are still dancing and laughing. Its was a very rare event for them so they celebrate to their hearts content.

June was looking for Yuki but could not find her.

" If your looking for Yuki she has long been gone!"

" I see!" June says still avoiding Ken.

She taught that Yuki must be tired and went back to their rooms. And she is also tired too so she says goodnight theb lady approach her and took her to her room.

June did not know but the room showed to her was not her room.This room is big and there is a huge man made tub with flowers in it.

" This is not my room." She says

" This is your room you may now take a bath!"

June did not agrue anymore and took all of her clothes and went to the bath and takes a rest.She did not take notice the decor of the room that for she is tired and they are going to their mission tomorrow.

Maybe they change her room because of her status.

Ken was left alone when Daisuke sat beside him and pour him a sake.

" Thanks for accepting this, Yuki could not handle this big clan but I know you will. And sorry for putting so much in your shoulders."

Daisuke says.

" Its ok I' m also indebted to you if you did not help me back then, I am now nothing."

Daisuke help Ken during his wild days. He erase all his bad records and teach him to control his weakneses.

So this task is nothing compare to what Daisuke did for him.

" By the way the ritual that has been done earlier is a wedding ceremony."

" Wedding ceremony!"

"Just as I thought you dont know.Haha that girl is now your wife!"Daisuke confirm

"My wife!" Ken repeated every word that Daisuke says like a fool.
