Shizuku slowly began to feel more peaceful and,
despite the slight hesitation, started again to go out alone. One
day, taking advantage of her absence, Suzaku showed up in front of
Eiji. They stood a few moments in front of one another. Eiji was
watching him. His thick ash colored hair, red eyes as if the flames
were locked up inside them, thin body but firm posture. Although the
suffered suspect on who the figure in front of him was was pressing
his heart he asked him who he was. “So you are the human being who
is deceiving the sacred water spirit”. Hearing those harsh words of
accusation, he frowned and quickly he drew his sword against him “are
you the spirit of fire? Go away and leave Shizuku alone. Strong
feelings bind us together and you are nobody to break our bond”.
Suzaku laughed out loud looking at the sword and walked a few steps
“you're a human being rather stupid, I wonder how that adorable
creature fell into such a trivial deception”. Slowly he raised his
arm and a few moments later Eiji’s sword warmed up forcing him to
drop it, feeling the skin of the hand burning. If
you think I'm evil how do you explain the fact that I can see all of you?” he yelled holding his
hand that had begun to bleed. Suzaku laughed again full of hubris and
leaned against a tree “there are no humans with good mood. Your
existence is the ruin of this world. I'll tell you one last time. Go
away or the next thing that I will make ashes of will be your heart”.
Not far away, Shizuku was on the road back when some kodama
frantically warned her of the danger Eiji was in. The restlessness
that would not leave her heart was more than justified. Despite the
apparent calm, the fear that something like this could happen to him
didn’t leave her yet. She threw down the basket with fruits and
started running to reach the two as soon as possible. As she arrived
in the vicinity of the hut she heard Eiji screaming, she was almost
paralyzed by fear, but she continued to run as fast as possible.
Suzaku was a few steps away from Eiji, who was kneeling on the
ground. The spirit of fire smug laughed of his power “Do you want
to be killed? I wouldn't want to go that far though I'm afraid that
you are so stupid as to not understand when to obey”. Shizuku fell
to the ground in front of him as a shield for Eiji “don't touch
him!” screamed without fear. Suzaku took a step back, anger crossed
his face “Excuse me? You become so much mad as to protect a human,
to risk your own life?”. The girl stood motionless, still staring
at him with look of defiance “I will not allow in any way that you
hurt him”.
