"The Private Relationship Between Azusa and Mitsuki part 2"
"The Mitsuki's condition"
He was having a terrible time one day, having to dance dressed up like girl in front of invited people from the imperial families.
Mitsuki smiled to Azusa who was complaining about it to her with his cheeks puffed out,
'You look like a full moon with your cheeks puffed out like that, little Azusa.'
Whenever Azusa acted like a child she called him 'little Azusa' like Seto did. But not in the teasing way Seto called him, kindness and softness was inside her tone and he never felt any disgrace by it. Actually, he puffed out his cheeks on purpose in order to be called little Azusa in her soft way.
'Darling little Azusa.. oh, I am sorry. You don't like to be called that,' Mitsuki said to him.
'Oh, no. I don't care about it. I don't like it because lady Seto calls me that when she is teasing me.'
'Then, may I call you little Azusa from now on?' she asked him which he replied by nodding his head. 'yes.'
'Will you please call me as Mitsuki?' she asked.
'I'll think about it.'
'Thank you, little Azusa. Oh, look. their is a full Moon out today. Lets go out to the terrace,'
Mitsuki and Azusa walked together to the terrace to watch the Moon.
The terrace stood on the top of a small hill where the sky was full of stars and the earth of Jurai covered with trees like a sea of trees if viewed from outer space. In the sky, the Moon of Jurai, was one-thirteenth the size of Jupiter, gently it lit up the forests. The city could be seen through the forests but with a well balance so the landscape was not spoiled.
For a while they watched the scenery in silence, then a fog began to cover the area.
'We can't see it any more,' Azusa told Mitsuki while watching the Moon hidden by the fog.
'It is the Sealing of the Fog,' Mitsuki replied also watching the Moon.
'Sealing of the Fog?' he asked back.
'It is a fairy tail. Long time ago, there was a goddess of the Moon and many gods were in love with her. But none could reach the Moon in the sky. Among those gods was the God of the Water who could hold her by mirroring the image of the Moon on the water. The other Gods envied the God of the Water and waved the water to vanish the Moon's reflected. And when the Goddess returned to the sky from the water, the God of the Water hid her by the fog so the other Gods could not see her any more. This is why the fog appears at the nights when the most beautiful full Moon can be seen' she spoke to Azusa looking at the sky, he was lost in admiration of her beauty.
'little Azusa this is the Sealing of the Fog. Aarh!' feeling dizziness she crouched down on the floor.
'lady Mitsuki!?' crying out Azusa rushed up to her. 'I'll call for a doctor!'
'No! If you call for someone now, little Azusa will' in a frowning face Mitsuki grabbed on to Azusa.
'Me? .. what but.'
'I am fine. I was just dizzy. It often happens.'
'Are you really all right?' seeing her nodding to him, he started to breath again but holding her so close to his heart which was beating rapidly.
' your eyes..,' facing her face to face, he noticed for the first time that the color of her eyes differed. 'The colors of your eyes are different. .. Oops, I'm sorry.'
'It is all right. Please I do not care about it,' being helped by Azusa she stood up.
Azusa tried to escort her to the large bench inside the chamber garden when the voice of a woman was heard and he halted.
'lady Mitsuki, lady Mitsuki...'
Usually, only guardian units can enter the garden but there must have been some way to observe Mitsuki's condition and someone came to check her. Hearing the voice, Mitsuki let go of Azusa. It seemed that she was apprehensive about the one who is approaching.
'Oh no, you must hurry!' she turned to Azusa and hastened him to leave.
'But..' Azusa was worried about her.
'I am all right. So please...'
To her suppliant face Azusa hesitated but finally left the room.
However, he did not notice that a lady's maid was watching them from the shadows.
