"SAYAKA!!" A familiar voice came to my ears.
"Yeah.." i answered unconsciously but suddenly relised "that's not my name big brother" i said correcting him.
"I have already been calling you by your name, you are the who wasn't answering" he said pointing his finger at me. "You are the one who was lost in the story and didn't answered" he said blaming me again and again.
"Alright alright" i said surrendering myself "what was you calling for?" I questioned.
"That... What are you doing?" He said normally. While putting one hand at waist.
I was confused for a second. Then I looked at myself sitting in the chair, then at the book on the table, and finally at him, as if to say, 'Really? Is this even a question?'
"oh.. I mean why haven't you finished the book yet" he came closer and checked the left pages of the book "I completed that only in 2 hours" he said with imaginary high nose.
'Lier' it was literally wrote on his face that he is leing.
"really... A book of hundred+ pages?" i said with a smile of annyonance.
*SIGHHH!* there is literally no one who can annoy me except him.
"It's almost done.." i checked the remaining length of the chapters myself "I will be free in an hour may be" i said.
"alright then.. Let's have a training session after that" he said and directly went to the room door and closed it from the outside.
"okay..." i mumbled accepting that he won't let me deny the training, since he didn't wait for my answer.
I looked at the book and took a deep breath to fresh my mind and again drown it in the story.
The book:-
And finally that day came, that I wanted to refuse the most...
I woke up from the bed feeling very uncomfortable... My head was spinning really hard.. I didn't even remember anything about last night.
Somehow I gained my strength back after few minutes and then I went out immediately because of a strange feeling that...
"he is not here lady Gojo.." almost every servent told me the same thing that Rio was here at night but suddenly disappear after the morning time.
Even after knowing that thing i was still shocked that... It is really happening.. I didn't knew deeply in my heart I just wanted to deny that fact.
It took me a long time to accept it that finally... He is not going to come back.
From that day on my life again turned the same as it was almost 12 years ago... the same boring political days with no one to care to.. No one to dear to.. Just living like a might person who is sitting on the longest seat in the sky who can just observe the normal people of the ground but can't be one in them.
Oops! There was one person actually..
"My clan members have already decide that... We have to ally with the emperor..." Kenzo said in the most depressed look i have ever seen at his face.
I closed my eyes to prepare for further worst news.
"and.." i questioned for the else reason of his depression.
"there are more then 5 country's top sorcerer family warned us that if we did that... They will not hasitate to join hands with their kingdom's imperial force..." he took a sigh "and my family..." he stopped in between.
"they didn't listen" i opened my eyes along with the blaze of the blue fire "as always" i said darkening my voice.
Meeting room of the Gojo family:-
"that's not fair miss Sayaka.. How can they do this" one of the superior *I don't clearly remember their names so.. Pleeease bear with that* who was sitting on the right side of the meeting room on a chair.
"Would it have been any different if we have chosen the emperor's purposel first" one with a very curious face asked.
"are you mad... He wasn't offering.. He was throwing that order at our clan" another one said correcting the previous one.
"the problem is that we are not going to ally with them or neither letting anyone else do that" someone said.
"we should wipe their clan as soon as possible... So they won't be able to do that" he was my father's cousin brother.
"we are not planning a massacre here" a member said a bit aggressively. "they are just feared.. May the fear of lefting behind in terms of power" he tried to calm his voice.
Suddenly the memory hit my mind where Kenzo said that "they are.. They are not bad.. Sayaka.. They just want to protect our people by all it costs..".
"if somehow they believe that they are strong enough.. Enough that they don't need the support of the emperor" i mumbled to myself while thinking but everyone available there were able to hear it.
"whatever it is.. They will never become stronger then." he tried to said but suddenly looked at me in shock "th..then... Us" he completed the sentence understanding what was I thinking.
"But lady.. Our reputation" he said hesitantly knowing clearly how baseless his point was.
"just consedring a clan our rival... Won't be that bad.. After all" uncle (my father's cousin) said normally "but how will we do that.. As strongly as no one will suspect that we are pretending to be the weaker one?" He said.
He was right, after all we did found a solution but it wasn't as simple as it looks.
Until I find the solution...
"thanks for your precious time guys!"
I sat up from my chair while bidding them bye "and also please consider sending me the best letter writer between you guys at my palace because I m going have a bunch of letters to write" I said and went from their after lefting many dumbfounded faces behind.
Few days after that...
"You sent threatening letters to 7 great nations?!" My uncle said a bit in shock as soon as he came to my palace.
"One to emperor and a Polite one to the Zenin family" i corrected him not bothering for his reaction. "The threatening one just says that if they try to join forces with eachother then the very thing they face will be the Gojo family as their antagonist for eternity, and the polite one is just a participating invitation of a power contest, where anyone can show there power to prove their strength" i said giving him the full info.
".. The competition is Okey but... What was the need of the threatening letters, I mean..." he came closer to me and patted my head "Sayaka... Don't you think you are rushing everything" he said in a tense look.
"well... I didn't want to tell you about this but there is no one I can fully trust in the whole family..." he got confused at my lines "... I threaten them beforehand because I m afraid that I won't be there always to watch over them" I said.
As soon I completed the sentence he understood everything what was I meaning to say from the beginning and may be you (Samiko) also.
If not then..
A competition between two clans, to prove the weaker one stronger, the stronger one have to show himself the weaker one.
Since you're reading this in future so you already know what's going to happen to me, but... what if I tell you I also know it.
Well.. It wasn't any prophecy or something else, it was just how I planned to use my life for others sake and get freedom from this life.
Btw today is exactly the date I m going in the competition to compete the strongest member of the zenin family and guess who it is... Of course Kenzo.
Well currently he is sitting in front of me and cursing his own family and himself for today's date, but little bit he knows that it's not fully their fault... Sometimes the situation is highly unexpected then our thinking.
I wonder what if Rio was there.. Would the circumstances has been different. Anyway... I must be really really dumb to remember him at this point of my life. But maybe.. If he was here.. I would have tried to find a way to get out of this.
In the last.... In the last
I m sorry for the present
The future and the past
The love I gave someone
And you tola-rated at last
That's just how I m.. That's just how your Great great great great great great great great great great great Grandma was *A warm smile*
~The end~
I immediately closed the book as soon as I finished the line, took a deep breath while keeping a straight look on face and teleported exactly where big brother was (in the hall watching the tv).
"Sheeee dieddd bigggg brotherrrr!!" i hugged him from neck while being dramatically imotional "Sheee dieddd" i said again being more imotional.
"It was a 1000 years old book, so it was predictable that she is dead!" he said to give some reality check.
"But shee wasss justtt... Just.." i tried to remember her age reference "18 to 21" i said in dramatic hiccups.
"She choosed it.. It's not like someone threw that decision.. On.. Her" I felt his voice getting a bit cracked at that.
That's the time when I realized that he is as much depressed as me but still trying to not show it.
"I wanted to just have any info about Sukuna but except that I ended up reading such hurtful story" I said trying to change the atmosphere.
"... A.. just a doubt but.." he said making a normal face again "you read the second ending of the book right..?" He questioned.
'. . . .'
"Second... Ending..?" i questioned with a dumbfounded look on my face.
"didn't you read her discription that she is not a good writer.. So you should have checked the every single page of the book.." he pointed the thing that i didn't even took seriously.
As soon as I heard that thing I quickly disappeared from their without giving him any response and went to my room again to check the pages of it after the 'the end' line.
Just after a plane page ...
Sorry sorry sorry...
I just read my book to check any mistake and then i found that i didn't told you Rio's full name.. Btw rio is not his full name, that's just a nick name that i gave him... May be it's not that important but... I just had a feeling that i should tell that to you. So his full name is ....Ryomen Sukuna. May it help.
~The end 2~
I checked the remaining pages also and then the whole book from the start.. just to confirm there isn't anything more noticeable, and then finally.....
"Ryooomennnnn Sukunaaa! Big brothhherrr... Ryooomennnnn Sukunaaa" i said getting the biggest shock of my life.
