Chapter 8 - Strength

The moon, Kazamiya moon gives courage to Sayasha to release her grief. Roku was stunned as Sayasha casually uttered the words.

The puzzle in his mind slowly connected. The rules Sayasha breaks, she breaks again. Loving a mere human might unforgivable sin. Causing a life as a sacrifice.

And now Sayasha fall in love once again, repeating the past.

For the sake of Roku and Ilisha, Sayasha will throw her life to let them see the tomorrow. And Roku finally understood, why Sayasha trembling when her sister came.

"Sayasha, I will stay by your side."

Sayasha rests her palms on Roku's arm resting on her belly. 

A few minutes of quietness, admiring the moonlife. Slowly, Roku felt Sayasha falling on his shoulder, Sayasha getting sleepy.

"Sayasha."

"It's my fault if I..."

A kiss that halts Sayasha from mentioning her time with her previous lover. Roku's mind Sayasha will blame herself. Sayasha will think she is the one who killed Ilisha's father.

She has power, if she didn't fall in love with a mere human or kind of monster her loved one would exist in her world. It's showing in Sayasha's face and eyes begging to blame her.

"Roku..."

"You are the one who gave life to my colorless life. You gave me a reason to live. Sayasha, I promise, I will not die, I will not leave you, and most of all, I will stay who I am."

"Sayami is strong. Sayami is the Goddess. Sayami had the blood of Goddess Kazamiya. Sayami can control anyone. Sayami can do everything. Say-----"

"But she didn't know what is love. What is family. The feelings of having a daughter, and a naughty husband. And the life of being simple, waking in the early to prepare breakfast for her husband and daughter. Sayasha can do that but Sayami can't."

"R-Roku the problem here is po----"

"Power for your loved one. For your special person. Power that can turn you into beasts to protect your happiness. Sayami might have power but she lacks strength. Strength that can hold your hands and fight in your crucial time. Sayasha, I love you and let's continue our life here."

At this moment, Sayasha's doubt vanished completely. Trusting her life with Roku, staying by his side, and continuing their dream. 

"Yeah, let's live peacefully." An embrace, waking their feelings for each other. However, the two just watched the moonlife until midnight came.

Roku can see a smile of Sayasha. 

Before leaving, they glanced one more time at the moonlife and left, holding their hands. The bunches of tiny fireflies lead the way toward their house.

The forest was like a Christmas light, not only Roku and Ilisha supporting Sayasha's back but also the creatures living in Senisha's forest.

A soothing hum, it was not from Sayasha or Roku. It was from the fairies, singing a gratitude for Sayasha. Songs that made Roku feel sleepy.

Thanks to Sayasha's presence he was able to reach the house and lay quickly on the bed.

Ilisha was there waiting for their arrival. But based on her heavy breath, the two knew she was just behind them.

"Good night, Ilisha, Sayasha."

"Papa, good night."

"Roku, sleep well."

Ilisha is in the middle on her left Roku, right is her mother. Closed their eyes and instantly fell asleep. Sayasha and Ilisha slept for a long time since last night but they managed to rest with Roku.

Roku makes sure that Sayasha will not try to leave them at night. The chain of explosion connected with Sayasha's wrist. With this chain, Sayasha doesn't have a choice but to stay.

Once she breaks the chain, Roku will be the one who suffers the most. Inside his body, the explosive magic appeared, and boom. If Sayasha removed it without consulting him, Roku's hand would split into two.

A perfect for Sayasha. 

Morning came, Roku was the one who woke up early while the two were still in the middle of their sleep. He quickly removed the chain of an explosion, getting up.

But not only was Roku awake, the two already sitting their butt on the bed as he turned his back, rubbing their eyes.

A good morning kiss that makes Roku frozen. Ilisha on his cheeks at each side, Sayasha on his lip. The two finally can act normally.

"Good morning, Roku."

"Papa, good morning."

Ilisha left first, going outside and Sayasha stayed for minutes. She told Roku, that Sayasha would stop binding to her past, her time to move on. That makes Roku drip his tears.

Since they are having an adult night, feeling her lips. Roku felt there was something wrong, something making him feel a slight uneasy feeling. And now that Sayasha herself told it, Roku felt her lips and the love he was looking for. Finally, in his hands.

He wants to celebrate, pushing Sayasha on the bed. 

"Sayasha, I can finally make you mine."

"W-What is the meaning of that? I'm already yours."

Roku just smiles, joining her for their morning routine. Wash their faces, prepare breakfast, and eat together.

There's a time when Ilisha leaves first to play with her friends but this time, her three friends stay in her room, making them eat with Ilisha and her parents.

The fear last night couldn't be seen in their faces. Ilisha laughed a lot and Sayasha's tears of joy dripped.

"Thanks, everyone."

"Papa?"

"Roku?"

"M-Mr. Roku."

"Mr. Roku."

"Hu---... M-Mr. Roku."

They look at Roku's face suddenly stiffen. He couldn't stop smiling.

As Roku struggled to fix his face they began laughing. A breakfast filled with joy.

"Thanks for the food." 

Ilisha went into the forest with her three fairies friends, Krinia, Liria, and Liz. Leaving Roku and Sayasha washing the dishes.

It's time for them to be alone with each other. After washing the dishes, go fetch herbs and turn them into tea, for healing. Minutes of shower in the flower.

Sayasha's morning time was consumed by her work while Roku sparred with Ilisha, honing his skill.

Days and days passed, three weeks passed nothing changed. Ilisha, Saysha, and Roku live like before. Train in the morning while Sayasha stays at home. 

And those weeks, Sayasha and Roku didn't have time to feel at each other. Ilisha's friends began living in Sayasha's house. When they have alone time during the day, Liz, Krinia, or Liria staying with them, have a hard time finding a chance.

They are not protecting Sayasha but Roku, for Roku's training, they need to stay on his side. And the sacrifices nights are not in vain.

The impossible test of Ilisha, Roku easily passes it.

Touches her back in just one second. His speed became fast, a skill obtained through training.

"Papa next is your strength. Now accept this."

"I-Ilisha t-that is..."

A giant fireball fell on Roku's position. 

....

....

....

"R-Roku, w-what is happened to you?!"

"N-Nothing, I just lost my way and ended up in the lava."

Roku came back in the house, clothes burning, body burned. Ilisha was not holding back earlier. She might be upset that Roku finally catching up to her.

Sayasha held Roku's hands, leading the way in her workshop. Behind the house, there's a log cabin for her work. 

The time her sight locked on the glass potion, Sayasha grabbed it drank through her mouth, and felt Roku's lip.

Roku didn't hesitate to drink the liquid in Sayasha, making them excited at each other. Weeks of not having a lovey-dovey time. Right now, the hindrances are busy so they can feel at each other.

That is what they thought. After feeling their lips, Krinia's voice whining can be heard as it gradually approaches them.

"R-Roku, K-Krin----"

Roku's burns on his skin disappeared, and his clothes melted. He was standing naked embracing Saysha but it didn't stop him from recalling the pleasure he was looking for. And Sayasha's missing feelings.

Sayasha doesn't want Roku to stop. Even her, on the nights she misses she wants to remember the happiness at night.

"Goddess Sayasha." Krinia entered the log cabin, roaming around.

At the left corner at the entrance, there's a door where Sayasha and Roku hiding.

Krinia's tiny voice echoed inside the log cabin. Sayasha couldn't control herself but let Roku feel hers.

A quiet connection, creating a lot of love. Time as time, Sayasha buried her face in Roku's chest, suppressing her voice to be heard.

"Sayasha...."

"R-Roku..."

Pining Sayasha's back on a wooden floor, hands on top of her head. The voice, the sound of theirs, and the heavy breath.

Voice of upset Krinia approaching in their direction attempting to open the door. Fortunately, Liz appeared asking for Krinia's help with Ilisha.

It's Ilisha, even though Krinia is in the middle of training with Roku, she doesn't think twice to help Ilisha. Giving Roku and Sayasha time to connect.

"I hate you!" Sayasha weakly said to herself as Roku didn't stop even the two just behind the door and he didn't care if they caught them.

Roku apologized right away. Sayasha and Ilisha had already forgotten the problem with Sayami but Roku, was the one who kept thinking about Sayami's next action.

In his mind was focusing on Sayami as they felt at each other.

Sayasha knew something was bothering his mind. To make Roku focus on her, Sayasha the one who's doing the work is feeling his lips.

Times passes Roku falls asleep, resting on Sayasha's bare lap, caressing his cheeks. The smile but behind sadness on Sayasha's face, the gaze but behind floating.

Sayasha glimpses Roku's memory of the letter. It's her first time seeing it.

"I'm such an..." Sayasha felt bad at peeking at Roku's mind. She didn't trust Roku.

"Mama..."

"I'm here, Ilisha."

"Oh! Mama." 

Ilisha entered the workshop, standing in the room where they having a time.

"Mama, did you see Papa?"

"He is here, resting on my lap. He might feel exhausted after receiving your anger."

"T-That is..."

Sayasha didn't hide where they were. 

"T-Then, I will prepare dinner for my apology."

"Good luck, Ilisha..."

Ilisha left with confidence, clenching her fists, whispering to herself she could make Roku melt in her food.

After minutes of resting, Roku woke up, glancing at Sayasha's face, looking at the ceiling. 

Roku stares at Sayasha. His dream with her as resting on her lap. Roku didn't know if what he saw was a dream or a memory of Sayasha.

Seems he can see the dark past of Sayasha as touching hers while sleeping. But they kept holding at each other while sleeping every night. But this is his first time experiencing it.

"Sayasha, I love you and I will love you no matter what happens to you."

"R-Roku, Good afternoon. Did you sleep well?"

Roku got up, sitting in front of her. "Sayasha, I will love you"

"T-Thanks and I lo-----" 

Sayasha halts as Roku's lip lands on her, holding tightly her hands. "Roku?"

Roku stays his lip near Sayasha, glaring into her eyes. The glare that making Sayasha uncomfortable. It was not about ravaging her but the eyes wanted an answer

"Sayasha, I love you."

"Y-You kept saying th----"

"Sayasha, I love you."

"I-I kn----"

"Sayasha, I love you."

"Roku, what happened to you?"

"Sayasha, I will love you for the rest of my life. And I love you."

"R-Ro----?" Feel her lips and repeat Roku's answer, he loves her. But Sayasha kept avoiding his question.

"R-Roku..."

"Sayasha, I love you."

"Fine! I love you too! I love you! I love you! I love you! I will be yours until I die so please love me until the la------"

"S-Sto------" 

Roku manages to hide his dream or reality by kissing Sayasha and halting her words. A kiss that leads into another time of pleasure.

It was not supposed to go there, but Roku craving Sayasha, and Sayasha also craving him."

"I love you, Sayasha."

"Roku, I love you."

With minutes of smiles on their faces, they got up, washing themselves. Sayasha had the power to control water, creating a shower on top of them as they embraced each other.

"This is our happiness, Sayasha."

"And we will continue our happiness, Roku."

A tight hug, sworing to their lives protecting their happiness. 

"Let's go."

"Yeah..."
