END OF CHAPTER KIGEN/ORIGIN

KIKO

It is harder each time,I watch them.
I feel stuck forever.
Each time.

I walk up to her kneeling form,I study how she cries for him."Everytime"I think to myself not wanting to spoil my last moments of her not being my foe.
I never even wanted to be foes,I never wanted to feel her feelings.

No.
Not at all.
I just wanted to be a woman to be relied upon,a woman to be wed to a warrior of goodness and renown.
Yet......
I look on myself at this burned home,recall the story heard from another set of ears,another time,another heart that got to be warmed by his words and touch while I am just still a child with the mind of a older soul,the memories of lives I have not lived now and I want my feelings to be mine again,I want my warrior,I want my time and not to be  hidden by her shadow again and again.

She always takes what was,is mine again and again and now I have to watch it happen all over but I tire of it.
Even tricking her into marrying Tennami wasn't enough.
What truly was so bad about the arrangement?
If my life hadn't been turned inside out by her arrival I would have been his wife.
Tennami was only an adopted member of the family and my father had all intentions to have him become heir, continuing on to have us wed when I became sixteen but then.
SAKURA appears,I am saved by Noroi a second time but it felt so different that time.
No other life I could accept and  no other life I try to live accepts me!
Like I am some wicked creature without a heart....

I only want what was stolen from me back,at any cost.
Even the whining of those babies did nothing to deter me but the way Noroi cried out In pain,the way he took the dagger to his abdomen like nothing.
How he sliced me through......
I want my life that I adored back,the life where I felt tenderness,the feeling of being cherished.

I just have to find out how she always gets here over and over,how she keeps this act up.

Maybe that is it right there.
