Chapter 4:

The new head of clan

The Tale of Narukami clan volume 2


ICHINOSE POV

After father died I became the head of Narukami clan.Still advisors told me I had to find a bride.Akira today helped me to escape from my duties.She holded my hand and we started walking around the city.

We even went to eat some dumblings.

"Hey is that a falcon?"

"I don't see it..."

Akira just ate some of my dumblings.It was very fun.Akira even brought me to the forest.

"Look..." she told me

They were plants and flowers which were nocturnal.They were blooming in the night.I holded Akira's hand for a bit.

We were so close...Then I realised that I shouldn't do it.

"Sorry...Akira...Thank you.I had fun."

"Your welcome."

The next day I argued with Akira.Alright I was jealous because she seemed she had fun with Ashura.He is a member of Murai clan.So I fought with Akira.

Meanwhile Toru from Ootori clan wanted to discuss something personal with me.He suggested our clans to become allies and start striking to other countries such as Britannia.

About Toru I gathered enough information.He was the one who almost tried to kill my father two years ago.Toru also was an ally of Rido and Sarah.He knew about their plans.

So we started fighting each other with our physical strength.He used a move called Genjitsu wapu (reality warp).I was caught into an illusion.Everywhere I looked,I saw my dearest people dying.I could hear voices of those who were suffering.

AKIRA POV

I went to see Ichinose.I opened the door.Until I saw a mysterious guy.No,he was Ootori Toru.Ichinose was trapped into an illusion.I screamed his name.Meanwhile a masked guy appeared and started fighting me.

ICHINOSE POV

I heard a voice...No it wasn't an illusion.It was Akira!I was able to wake up.Toru used an other ability,Chiri no kyu (dust sphere).It was a big mistake for trying to deflect it.It caused me damage.Then he used Kanpeki no keshin (embodiment of perfection).I couldn't move.I felt he broke some of my bones.

AKIRA POV

At first the battle was just only hand combat.Until that guy with the tengu mask used a technique.He used Chiwonagasu (bloodbending).I couldn't feel my body at all.Then he used Furasshu o hajiku (repelling flash).Once again I couldn't defend my self.Finally he used Gyaku ke (opposite hexagram).I felt I lost too much blood.

ICHINOSE POV

I couldn't give up.I had to fight.So I used Garando no geijutsu (art of galland).Toru used again Kanpeki no keshin (embodiment of perfection).Then I used Shizen no kenja (sage of nature).This caught Toru by suprise.I didn't let him any space to attack.I used my trump card,Hono no ishi (will of flames).So I defeated Toru without killing him.

AKIRA POV

I don't know how but I had a little strenght in me to stand up.The masked guy tried to stab me with a sword.I was able to dodge it.I used Chishiki no hikari (light of knowledge).He tried to deflect it.That move caused him damage.

Then I used Shizukana soon (silent noise).The masked guy used Gyaku ke (opposite hexagram).I used my chance.My final attack would cause also damage to me but I had no choice.

I used Geijutsu no okurimono (gift of art).So I defeated the masked guy and I collapsed.When I woke up I was in my room.Aunt Juri hugged me.Uncle Masaya thanked Ichinose because he found me when I collapsed and he helped me to recover.Toru and the masked guy...Actually it was a girl.Her name was Kozue Hitachin.She was one of Toru's followers.

Ichinose then came to my room.He hugged me.

"I am sorry,for being a jerk."

"Ichinose..."

I couldn't find any words to say.I was happy that it was all over.

ICHINOSE POV

The next day I went to see lord Masaya and lady Juri.

"Lord Masaya,I want your permission to marry your niece."

Both lord Masaya and lady Juri were suprised.

"Young man,it will be honor to make you my newphew.Juri and I know you are the only who can make Akira happy."

"Thank you so much sir.I won't disappoint you."

AKIRA POV

I woke up.I had breakfast with aunt Juri and uncle Masaya.Ichinose was outside in our garden.He was looking at the camelias.And that yellow flower.It is known as sleeping beauty.

Ichinose grabbed me by the hand and took me to a place.It was a majestic green valley with flowers and a crystal lake.

"I recently found out about this place.Do you like it?"

"No,I love it."

ICHINOSE POV

There was only one thing I had to do.

"Akira..."

Akira looked at me with those golden eyes.

"Akira, I’m here to ask you one simple question, will you marry me?"

She seemed suprised.Then she smiled.

"Yes,yes!"

So I wrapped her in my arms.And for the first time we sealed our lips with a kiss.

"What about..."

"Lord Masaya and lady Juri gave us their blessings."

"Can we stay here a bit longer?"

"Of course."

When Yui and Ichinose learned we were going to get married they were very excited.Ichinose and I even had a little fun together.I mean he went to my office and offered me to drink sake.I am happy that Ichiru makes my sister happy.

After two weeks Akira and I got married.Ichiru,Ichika,lord Naoki,lord Masaya and lady Juri our closest people attended to our wedding.
