Chapter 481 - 462: Smell Of Gunpowder-II
Haru wrapped closer toward Hyuga and the man’s eyes fell at her through the dimmed room. He cannot help but to feel useless. Haru had to take place as her elder twin and for that sake, she had to sacrifice a lot of things. This was her last mission. The most dangerous so far and the deadliest one.
"We cannot see the future," Hyuga said, his words caused a frown on Haru’s forehead but also garnered her attention.
"Are you saying we have to accept the outcome if we loses? I wanted your encouragement."
"Not at all," he answered, smiling, "I am saying that if we cannot see the future and neither could our enemy. No one knew the future but if we try for it, I am sure we could shift the future to our wish. Even though we need patient and sacrifice, this is war. Are you that afraid of losing?"
Haru thinned her lips. It wasn’t fear that came to her now, something similar but different. She pulled Hyuga closed, kissing his lips, tasting him and pulled away with a tougher expression. The question seemed to have lit something in her and Hyuga could tell it was her will of fighting.
"No. I am not afraid to lose. There is nothing in me that I could lose, right?" She replied with a smile that was small. "And you know I am lying. I can lose anything but you. Li Lian’s emotions. No one knows it better than me and likewise she must understood my fear."
"But we are different," answered Hyuga after giving her a silence. "My life is less of worth than yours, unlike how Li Lian and Li Jun Wei regarded each other as. I am a pawn, your pawn. If I die it matter—"
Haru’s eyes narrowed a blaze took over her eyes, "If you die it does not matter? Is that what you are about to say?"
The question slapped to him wasn’t to ask answer but rather an order so he should never repeat those words again. Others in Akasaka group would never cross over Haru’s order, obeying every breaths she uttered as their loyalty lies on her. But Hyuga.... Hyuga was different. He was her aide, lover, and lifeline. He could speak as much as he wanted and he hadn’t abuse that title of his except for this time.
