warning. He took it to heart for I knew my glare scared even those who would never cry out even in a painful death.
He nodded. “As you wish. She is yours to marry off to whom you want. Her price does not matter to me for I care nothing for her, take her. I wish you to best, Imperial Highness.”
“Good. Now sign this paper to hand her over to me and you will no longer have to see her again.” I said in a cold tone as I pulled out the contracted I made the night before.
He picked up a pen but I stopped him. I held out my hand for his. He gave it to me. I cut the pad of his fourth finger. And the same for Momo and mine. She flinched as her father did at the pain, I did not.
I made them sign it in blood and then I took Momo with me as I left. But before I did I give Lord Zen Tu a black rose.
When we were in my rooms I set to having everything packed.
She laughed. “Never in my life have I seen that man so scared! And now I am free to marry my love. So can you!” she said giving me a hug.
I sighed. “For me it is not that easy.” I said.
She stopped and sat with me, her face confused. “What do you mean, my friend?”
I told her my story of my life and when I was done she was pale. Then she gave me a hug.
“Now I understand. Even now about Sen. So the man you loved saved you once as a girl, and then you gave yourself for his mom. You were tortured, then escaped and he saved you again but as a boy. So you have fallen in love with him and he you but as a boy?” she cleared.
“Yes, he believes me a boy.”
“Then you need to tell him you are a girl. But at the right time, then.” she advised.
I shook my head. “If I tell him then I can’t always be with him. If I am a girl here they will take me way and marry me to someone I hate or work me to death.”
“Well who said anyone else has to know besides him? You can be a girl just for him and a boy for everyone else.”
I opened my eyes to see she was right. I could tell him.
“But how will he forgive me for deceiving him like this?” I asked.
“I just know he will, but if you want to tell him or not is your to decide.”
That night as Momo slept on my bed I opened a door from my room and stared at the mountains and moon. One was so large and strong just like Kail and the other had two sides. One in light and one in darkness switching as day came, just like me.
When I thought of Kail it made me wish I was in his arms and receiving his sweet kisses.
And as I thought of telling him my chest hurts. I hope he would forgive me for keeping it from him.
With a sigh I closed the door and went to sleep.


*~*~*~*~*


I had everything packed and when it was done I called for a carriage and a horse. Momo was loaded into the carriage and I rode on the horse in my boy’s clothes.
Momo made a fuss about not being able to ride with me but I point out that right now I was a guy and she said, “Good point,” and hopped in.
So we left for the mansion.
I had sent Sen servants ahead the morning before.
One week. A new friend and a mission complete. Now for my own problem. How will I explain it all to Kail…?
I have had fun the last week and made a new friend; I had missed Kail very much. But I was still scared to tell him about me. But I must! And I will.
“And in just a few hours I will be able to see him,” I whispered under my breath with a silly grin. I felt as if my face would crack in two, as my heart would jump out of my chest.

Chapter Seven
I can see the truth in your eyes


I rode ahead of the carriage and soon saw the gates of the mansion. I rode in the gates and jumped from my horse. I laid my head against her neck listening to her breathing as, I stroked her mane.
I heard someone come towards me only to find myself picked up and squeezed to a large chest.
I wiggled in the arms that held me and looked up to see Kail’s smiling face. His silver eyes looking over my face as if check to see I was all there.
He bent down and kissed me. “Welcome back,” he said with another smile. “I’ve missed you.”
I stepped back from him and put a finger pointed at his chest. “Now you know how I felt without seeing you for a week. Any who there’s a surprise I brought back with me. Her name is Momoko and she the daughter of the General. She’s the friend I went to see. Is it okay if she stays here for a while? I don’t think I want her staying with Sen,” I pointedly.
He nodded understanding and looked sheepish. “She is welcome here as long she is your friend.”
“Thank you, Kail. When is the festival you have been planning?”
“It’s in four days.” he said looking into my eyes meaningfully.
I felt a pain pierce my heart for the lies I have told him.
All well be right soon.
“Her carriage will be here soon so I have a welcome back gift for you.” I said, smiling.
“And what may that be?” he asked puzzled.
“Close your eyes and I’ll show you.” I said.
He closed his eyes. I stood on my tiptoes and put my arms around his neck. I pressed my lips to his and gave him a good sound kissing.
When I opened my eyes I saw that he was shocked. Even so he couldn’t speak and his face had turned a bright pink.
“That’s your gift, but remember, you own me for welcoming you last time.” and with that I walked my horse to the stables and went to the gate as her carriage pulled in.
I went to the carriage and opened the door. I held up my arms and she jumped into them, giggling and laughing. I set her down.
“How was the ride?” I asked her.
“Boring, but not so bad. Now where is Kail-sama?” she asked.
I took her by her hand and led her to Kail. When she saw him her mouth dropped open. I closed it for her with my other hand.
“Kail, this is my best friend Momo. Momo this is Kail.” I dropped Momo’s hand. I walked over to Kail and whispered in his ear. “Your mine so doesn’t get any ideas.”
His cheeked stained with red. I went back down on my feet and walked over to Momo.
“Anyway we best put you in my room,” I said to her.
“But then where will you sleep?” she asked.
“Don’t worry I have somewhere I can stay for a while. So let’s get you settled in and I’ll send for Sen.”
And so she and the servants went off to unpack her things in my old room. I turned to Kail.
“Can I stay in your rooms?” I asked him.
He nodded and walked away swiftly. But before I saw him turn I could swear his cheeks were bright red.
I went off to send for Sen, but it turned out that I had to go to his mansion and drag him here.
He was nervous for seeing her and I told him she knew about me like him.
He seemed happy about that and when he got to the mansion the two stuck together to talk. I didn’t see them till nightfall, so I practiced with my sword and read more of the diary. It turned out that Kail’s mom was more active then I had thought.
When night fell I ordered a maid to bring food to Kail’s room.
I sat at the little table in his room he used as a desk and saw paper and ink. I took one of the quills I made and dipped it in to the ink. I pulled a small paper from the stack and
started to write a letter.
When I finished the letter I folded it and held it over the candle intending to burn it. It had felt good to write it all down. But instead I placed it in my robes. Soon the food was here and I started to eat my supper.
Kail came in soon and was surprised to see me.
“Kail, may I request that I may sleep with you tonight?” I asked.
He blushed. “You can do whatever you wish here.”
He was so sweet and I could tell that he loved me more than I knew. I was hurting him by keeping my secrets from him.
That’s when I decided that I was going to tell him the night of the festival.
I dressed for bed hiding the letter in the wrappings around my chest that hid a goodly sized amount of breast.
I laid in the futon and was quickly asleep. But before I heard him come to the futon and lay next to me I swear I had him murmur. “I finally have him back by my side.”


*~*~*~*~*


Over the next few days I didn’t see Kail, but I heard him come in during the night and lay down to sleep. I watched over Momo and Sen and saw that they truly were in love, yet for some reason Sen still kept a safe distance from Momo and she looked somewhat disappointed because of this. She seems to become depressed.
Late on the second night I caught Momo by the hand and half pulled, half dragged her to the bathhouse.
I sighed as I slipped off my clothes and unwrapped the wrap around my chest. I untied my hair and then sat in the tub of freezing water. It was heaven. The moment she sank into
