Flashback (16)
As the soup was done, his eyes went toward the blond-haired girl who had just finished taking a nap.
Well, this was going to be his responsibility for the next couple of months whether he liked it or not.
Well, she better be useful.
"Come on, I made rabbit soup...better eat it while it's hot," He said softly.
The girl nodded her head and sat on the table.
She took out the spoon took some of the soup and tried to drink it, but the soup was still quite warm which caused her to burn herself slightly.
"Hot, hot, hot !"
She stuck out her tongue and started blowing on it, she had not expected it to be so hot, she thought it would be a bit more cold.
"I warn you, the soup was hot, take your time"
She decided on another strategy...instead of mindlessly trying to drink the soup, she spent a solid 30 seconds blowing on it every time she was going to take a sip.
He found it quite adorable, he went back to focusing on his food.
The food was nutritious as always, he enjoyed it.
Seasoned food always tastes good.
Krista followed in his footsteps and started to eat the food, as her palette tasted seasoned food for the first time.
He watched the blissful expression on her face as she enjoyed each and every bite of the food.
He watched as she started to spend as much time as possible tasting the seasoning inside each and every single part of the meal.
She enjoyed it way too much.
"Make sure to eat as much as possible, tomorrow you helping chop down trees for fire"
The girl nodded her head as she continued to enjoy the food that he had given her.
Wasn't it sweet?
Anyway, after enjoying some very good food, Akira lazily made his way toward his bed, where he fell asleep.
There is no way this could end badly.
Pov change.
As Krista layed on her bed, trying to sleep, memories flooded her mind, memory of her father slitting her mother's throat infront of her.
A memory of her father threatening to murder her if she dared reveal her true name to anyone flooded her mind.
She turned and twisted on the bed in a cold sweat.
"I will slit your throat open if you ever dare call yourself my daughter"
She tossed and turned as she saw the blade placed near her neck.
The fear and terror in her eyes were evident, her mother's blood was on her face.
She was scared.
"If you are ever in trouble sis, just find them"
A woman who was tall and had long, smooth, dark hair that stopped past her shoulders could be seen talking to the girl.
She had her hair cut shoulder-length. She possessed large blue eyes and a rounded face and was seen wearing a white robe.
Although for some reason in Krista's mind, her eyes looked a different color.
"You mean the white eyes warriors in the books"
A younger girl who looked like Krista added with curiosity in her eyes.
"You got it right, Historia"
The woman then paused for a bit before saying.
"You are a special girl"
Historia smiled at the young woman.
"How do I find one"
"He will find you, make sure to be nice to him okay"
Historia nodded her head up and down.
She would make sure to be nice to them.
Though she wondered what the woman meant by he... weren't there like 400 Hyuga.
Krista woke up in a cold sweat, as she saw herself die in her dream.
Shaking a bit, she took her pillow and made her way where she saw him go to bed.
She knocked on the door and waited for a response.
"Who is there"
His obviously tired voice could be heard saying.
"It's me, Krista"
"come in"
She slowly opened the door and entered his room.
In the middle of the room, she saw it.
The Hyuga clan symbol.
"What do you want?"
Looking down a bit and fidgeting as she was nervous, she opened her mouth and said.
"I had a nightmare...can I sleep with you..."
"..."
"I can sleep on the floor if you don't want me near you...I just want to be close to someone"
"Fine, hop on"
She looked happy as she joined him in the bed.
He sure hoped this was a one-time thing...oh lord was he in for a rude awakening.
Not once since Krista had come to live with him had she ever gone back to sleeping in her room.
The next day.
Krista was seen dressed and ready to work.
He was teaching her the proper way to cut a tree down, she made sure to pay a lot of attention to it as she would be doing it soon.
He asked her if she had any spare clothes to which she said no.
Sighing a bit, he went toward his house and a couple of seconds later came with a new pair of clothes for her.
"Go bath in the river nearby, and use this," he said handing her some soap.
50 or so minutes later, she was back.
She handed him her old clothes...the clothes were washed.
They just needed to dry.
He hung them to dry.
Meanwhile, she sat on the trunk of a tree and looked at the sun rising.
She could get used to this.
It seemed like her sister was right.
Her gaze then landed on him as he worked.
She had been here for a whole day and this place was practically uninhabited apart from him....which meant...
He was probably the last member of his clan alive.
He must be quite stressed....and yet he still took her in, even if it would have been better if he didnt.
She knew that his eyes were good, his eyes probably could not see that she was of royal descent yet...
Would he abandon her if he found that out...after all....she was related to the people who had....
It was better if she did not think of such things.
A/N If I planned everything just right....the first chapter of season 2 of Keitaro's story should be out, it is either that or in more weeks.
