Time For A Challenge

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He pushed it back and put his hand to his heart "this is for you I want you to remember the song and what better way then with the very instrument with which it was last played"he smiled and kissed her and said "this is a special gift to show how much I care about you and how I feel for you"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I still didn't want to accept the gift, it was his, and I had my own flute. I clutched the flute close and nodded.
"Ok." I said quietly. I quickly pulled out a piece of paper and began to fold it. I quickly folded a paper flower nad handed it to him.
"Now this is yours." I said.
"I know it's nothing special, but, I folded it."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled as he looked at the flower he took it with his good hand and placed it in his pocket he smiled and said "anything that shi-chan has made is special to me in fact it is more precious then any amount of gold"he placed it in carefully so as not to destroy it or crumple it

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I smiled meakly then walked over closer to him. I stood on my tipy-toes and quickly kissed him on the lips. I shrunk back down and put my finger to my lip. I blushed madly.
"And your touch is more precious than gold." I said quietly.
"No, not gold, more precious than the entire world." I said. I smiled.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He blushed and kissed her on her lips saying "and your touch is worth more then the entire universe"he looked at her and held her hand with his good one and said "if I had to travel a thousand miles just to feel that touch I would do so on my hands if I had to that is how precious it is"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I felt myself almost melt. I took a deep breath in.
"Would you do it, even on the verge of death?" I asked, out of pure curiousity.
"I'd travel the world! I'd travel it twice! Just so I could find you." I said. I snuggled in close against his chest, moving his broken arm slightly off to the side so I could be fully against him.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled and said "I would do it on my death bed looking on every star in the night sky just to find you and hold you close to me so I could just feel your touch"he smiled and put his borken arm behind her so he could hold her he hugged her tight but not to tight and he looked into her eyes

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I smiled and pulled away gently. I took the flute and began to play more. At first I played softly and heavenly then i picked up pace and begn to play louder. Yuo had taught me the song, of a warrior, and his young maiden. The story told of how to warrior searched to the ends of the earth, trying to find her. When he finally came home, he was bruised and beaten, his leg had been broken and he was weak enough to collapse. His maiden had returned and they were together after many years of his recovery.
"Would you like me to tell the story of this song?" I asked.

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He listend to the song he had heard it once before as a child his father had once played the song for hi but he didnt know there was a story behind it he smiled and said "I would love to"he watched the way she played the flute the sound that came from it seemed to make his heart melt

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"It's about a warrior and his journey to find his future wife." I said. I played the tune for the warrior and his maiden.
"One day the warrior's future wife went off and was missing for days and nights. He went out looking for her, he travelled to the end of the world, fighting many great battles and winning." I said. I played a song from the battle scene.
"He returned very sick and injured, and he found his future wife there it greet him, she had gone looking for him too." I smiled happily.
"And after a few years, while the warrior recovered, they were married and lived together."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled as he listend to the story he thought about a single person the entire time he thought of shizuki and how he would ahve looked all over the world fighting anyone who opposed him to find her he looked into her eyes and said to her "Shizuki just like that warrior I would go threw all that for you"he smiled and his eyes shined"I will be your warrior"he said

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I stared at him for a moment.
"But there is more to the story." I said.
"A year after their marriage, the warrior went off to fight in battle,and when he came back to the town, he could no longer walk, or talk." I said.
"His tongue had been cut out during the battle, and his leg was wounded so badly, it could no be repaired."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He heard what she said and looked at her saying "I would rather lose my tounge and never walk again then let those I love and the place I love ever be harmed I would still be your warrior"he looked at her curiously "is there anything else to the story or is that all"he didnt want tot hink it was over

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I shook my head.
"There is a bit more." I said.
"There was a battle after the second battle, and the warrior was called to fight." I said.
"In the end, his wife was kidnapped and he had to save her." i looked down.
"The warrior saved her from her prison, but he fell from the top of the building. It was many many years before he recovered."

[Santomoro Purotekuta- Mei]

He smiled as he walked over to her and lifted her chin and said "but he did didnt he?"he smiled and began to think and said "is that why you always asked me that question if you were kidnaped?"he looked into her eyes and smiled as he looked at her he couldnt have been happier if he had all the riches of the world
