And suddenly Zashi start to remamber Yukio say the same thing from the past.
“So tell me something about you Zashi what is your goal, what’s things you like, you don’t like?, how’s life going to you recently
“I-I don’t really have a goal, my goal is just bassicly living in my best life, having a place that I can call home, surround with peoples that love me and accept me
Moon voice drops to be more emotional, hold his hands together to show her empathy.
“Zashi…
Are you a homeless?”
Her question totally flabbergasted him, as he try to correct her thoughts almost immediately.
“No!
I’m not homeless, I’m actually have a house, is just not the one that I’m proud of, that place looks barely a home, but I get hang over it, and if that’s the best that I can get theb I accept it.”
Moon expression softening.
“You may have accept it Zashi , but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do to change it, life doesn’t decide your fate but it does provide you some interesting paths, one step you take to that path, you’re getting closer for the answer, and sometimes it takes alot of wrong step to put you back to where you belongs, but it does take you back where you have a chance to make a decision ”
Moon squeeze his hand together, try to look st him while his eyes constantly avoiding her.
“And it will give you an answer on it’s way, and that is why everything that happens in our life have a reason and meaning to it, so where are you now Zashi?.
Are you getting closer, or are you in the middle or are you at the beginning?.
“I don’t know I just lost so much Moon, I lost my girl a year ago, she was my everything, she was my sunshine the sweetest things in the world and I just let her go, without try to stop her, it’s all my fault.” Zashi let his vulnerability carry him, making him reveal too much.
But Moon simply try to to understand with open arms.
“it’s not completely your fault Zashi, you just terrified to push foward, you’re unsure what to do in that time, you have some doubt in yourself, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start back and try to have it all again, life is too short for all of us, and now, this is your chance.”
Zashi tear start slip off after hearing Moon words.
He chuckle
“Wow that’s, thank you…,
Moon slowly lower her shoulders and feel more relax.
“You welcome…, for now all you need to do is never let go.”
Moon keep holding his palm together, making sure he get all the support he needs.
Two of them decide to walk at some lovely park near the river surround with cherry blossom trees brushing agasint each other, to create harmonic atmosphere.
“So tell me Moon where exactly that you live, you said that you working bussniess like a while ago so you must be live in the big city, but then I saw you from yesterday, what are you exactly do in my village?” Zashi curiosity get the best of him.
“Oh that, I was actually thinking of moving to near your village and start a new life, I quit from my job, and I have two house, one is my apartment and my another house is on top of the hill, because of my city was kinda being attack by this hybrids doing, their evil project called ‘Scarlet Rotten’ I didn’t know much about it, but I’m not gonna sit and wait to get more info about it.”
Moon explain showing no sign of upsetting neither of joy
*Well, that’s sounds of scary, so what you do now?” He watch her closely try to read her emotions.
“Nothing bassicly, I was planning to open a tea shop but I was thinking, no, why I need to make everything difficult for myself while I can just stay unemployment and swing my feet and doing nothing, I already done enough with capitalism, so I guess is time to embrace the nature of being human, you know what I mean?
”
She answer casually, as Zashi can’t sense behind her words
“Oh yeah?, here I thought you’re some kind of ambitious woman that take very serious with her career.
Moon laughing out loud at Zashi statement while tapping of his shoulder rapidly
“Yeah it was me awhile ago, of working but now I more of wanting to do my own things
“Forgive me asking how old are you exactly?” The question suddenly appear on his mind.
“I’m twenty-four and how about you?”
The answer is totally something that he didn’t expect but tk was surprised him either “S-same.”
Moon begin to swing her arms around feeling the slight freedom from the time she spend with him.
“So Zashi…
can I ask what Yukio likes?, what’s she mean to you?, what do you guys always like to do together?, if you don’t mind me asking,”
Zashi answer without no hesitation, having nothing 5o hide “Well…, she was everything that I could ask for, she have such nice wide lips that giving the sweetest smile in the world, she always like talking about food and movie and anime with me…, and she also like to hear…
Moon stop for a second.
“Your story?”
Zashi nod try to make sense his own words.
“Yeah I mean like fictional story that I wrote.”
Moon eyes lit up with intrested.
“Zashi…, you telling me that you write something like that as your hobby?
That was impressive!, can you tell me about it?.”
Zashi sweating up little bit “I can, but the thing is the story will be more fun if you can see the manga I draw.”
Moon gasping on shock “STOP, you drawing Manga too?, can I see it?”
“I mean sure, you can but it was at my house so, which you know.”
Before Zashi can give his reason, Moon without shame inviting herself into his private property.
“Alright let’s go to your house then, Is just I’m really into books and drawing and stuff like that, and I do actually have five manga that I brought for myself.”
“Really and what are those?
Moon lean even closer as her face making different expression at the same time, to impress him with her manga knowledge” Mhm let’s see, I got, Monster, Land of Lustrous, Vagabond, Attack on Titan…, Oh and Chainsaw Man!
”
“What Chainsaw Man?, you try to tell me you like Chainsaw Man?” Zashi repeat his question to make sure he didn’t misheard it.
Moon stop and turn to face him.
“Of course I just pretty much like all the characters, they’re quite entertaining to watch.”
Moon eventually find herself to rest her back agasint the river fence.
“So did you two have special place that you guys like to go?
Like favorite place you always visit?”
“Yes there was this place that two of us like to go and it was a beach I bealive it’s called ‘Iro Beach’ and is the most beautiful one aswell.”
“You said that as you have been to another beach before.” Moon said teasingly to making him feel akward.
And there’s an akward silence between them as the wind passing by.
Zashi can’t stop glancing at Moon face without she looking at back
“Say Moom you don’t happen to have a strict parents that control your life right?”
Moon blinked her eyes by his question, totally caught her off guard “Mhm what’s that?
Zashi waves his hand immediately
“No nothing what I was try to say is-”
Moon answering shortly with calm tone after getting up from laying on the fence.
“No, I actually haven’t seen my parents in along years, I probably never seen them at all, in my dreams
Zashi just stand there unsure to continue the conversation foward.” So is that mean like, you-”
Moon unbother to explain any futher.
“Well I was an orphan, being raise by my grandma, after she pass away, I working my ass off to put my position here, how about you.?.
Zashi turn silent for a moment, rubbing his neck waiting for opening.
“As my parents…, they abounded me when I was still a baby, they probably rejected me after they find out I was a…
Devil Hybrid.”
Moon calm usually smile shift to frown, giving him, her concerning gaze.
“Oh that was just so cruel, Zashi, I’m sorry to hear that.”
“It’s okay I already forgive them.., I’m not really sure if I even hate them, because I didn’t even get to see how they look like, is like they never exist, and I’ve been trying to live my life, travelling alot finding some place where I can lay low without revealing my true identity and that’s when I found that village, and there’s this old man that was very kind to me to give me a place that I guess i can say a home… The source of this chapter is g.com.
”
Zashi try to chuckle out his sadness away.
“Is an old and poor looking house but is a honest gift that kind man give it to me.”
Moon listen to his story thoughtfully, putting both of her arms behind her.
“It must be hard for you to live in the world, full with people that hating and terrified of you, expect for Yukio isn’t that right?”
Zashi glance over Moon for being thoughtful.”
“Yeah you right and even you too, you don’t seems scared.”
Moon regain her smile and playfully domenour back.
“Of what?
You?, who will runaway to see handsome guy like you?, that look even badass in your devil form?”
“Thank you.” Zashi close his mouth tightly from her compliment, unbother to hide his blush this time
“But I find it quite strange that you mentioning you’re devil hybrid, I thought they’re no longer exist like a years ago, you must be the last one of them or maybe it was just an old news” Moon
Zashi begin to stuttering and try to change a different topic
“M-maybe, actually I’m not quite sure what Hybrid I am, but I guess it was close to that.
After for awhile, they begin to stumble across the place where peoples was playing rollerblades, start caught Zashi full attention.
“Woah what was that?”
Moon peeking her head to get a clear view what he was watching “it was a popular things that our generation invented, is called Rollerblades, haven’t you heard of it before?
“No, I mean, yeah, I just don’t know the name of it , it looks pretty fun though.” He continue gazing over people’s perform their incredible possible maneuver.
“Do you, want to try?…” she tap on the back of his shoulder.
Zashi immediately look back to face her “What are you crazy?
my legs is going to snap as soon I put those shoes on.”
Moon let out her playful chuckle, try to calm him by squeezing his shoulder together and push him to rollerblade area.
“Don’t worry i know how to play, but it’s been ever since I play it, and I have to admit, it will be nice if I get a pair that also know how to play with me, so what do you say?”
Zashi feels there’s much space to wiggling his way from this, for sake to make their date more intresting, he willingly give his first try.
With that agreement Zashi is already in his rollerblade shoes ready to learn new things with Moon holding his hands together, with his hands can’t stop shaking.
“Oh this is really hard, than it looks, this is terrible ideas.”
Moon giggle “Hey relax, all you need to do for now is just look at me, hey look at me.”
Moon try to tilt his chin to face her, but Zashi immediately grab his arm to keep himself balance.
“Hey don’t you dare do that?!”
“Do what?”
“Letting go off from my hand like that, I can feel like I’m about to fall at any second if you letting me go!”
Moon didn’t listen to Zashi warning, manage to grab on his chin to make him stop looking on the ground.
“Hey look at me…” her voice is soothing than usual, hoping it will calm him a bit, Zashi was captivating by seeing her purple eyes, cause him to trip over.
“Woahhh”
Zashi close his eyes before embrace the impact, but instead he can feel something soft pressing on his cheek.
He slowly open his eyes and see Moon has manage to catcu him before falling, letting his face rest on her chest,”
It’s all about trust Zashi, do you trust me?
her voice drop into husky whisper, not only giving him some comfort but something that he can’t explain behind his fast heartbeat.
“Yes…”
Zashi immediately being putting up back into both of his feet with Moon strong grip, putting his hand on her waist, he raise on of his hand and spin him around just to face her again.
“Now let’s start our lesson shall we?”
