Chapter 13

                                    

                                          
Yumi's POV
Days had passed and I keep wondering if Senjuro was doing fine. I sighed and opened my the door. Something had changed, I didn't heard the servants talk ill to me again but they treated me so well. I'm happy that they are now respecting me but why did they suddenly act like that. I then went outside and started approaching the gate when suddenly Akira blocked the way. He is also acting weird, everytime I go outside he made sure that I'm not going to leave the estate. 
                          
" Where are you going Yumi-sama?" He asked, I just sighed and faced him seriously.
                          
" Akira, I need to visit the flame estate." I said, he didn't said anything and his eyes changed into guilt one. I just smiled, I guess he can't let me go. " I knew father told you to not let me leave." I continued, he was just staring at me. I sighed and turned my back, I need to ask father about this. 
                          
I entered the house again and went to Father's room. I knocked gently before opening it. I found him sitting while writing something. He stopped and looked at me with his slight annoyed face.
                          
" I'm busy right now Yumi." He said but I didn't leave. 
                          
" Father, why can't you let me visit the flame estate?" I asked, his face become furrowed before putting the  pen down and sighed.
                          
" The flame estate is not teaching you well." He replied, I become speechless. How can he say that to them? I clenched my fist and gained my courage to speak again.
                          
" You're wrong father, they teached me a lot. So please father let me vi-" 
                          
" You heard me right Yumi! If you dare to go back there, I will cut ties with them." He roared making me flinched, I heard mother approaching us making me glared at him.
                          
" Why can't you do it for your own daughter! You've been pushing me away for almost a year and now you want me to stay here! Your the worst father I ever had!" I said and left him, I then met mother making her hugged me. I smiled and slowly pushed her, I wanted her to hug me but I'm so angry right now. I smiled and left her before going to my room. I plopped down into my bed and hugged my pillow. I can't believe it, father started to treat me like a prisoner and I really hate it. I growled in annoyance and stand up, I will do everything just to escape in this house. 
                          
I slowly opened my door, I didn't see Akira around making me hurriedly dashed towards the gate when someone grabbed my hands tightly. I winced in pain as he started pulling me roughly. I raised my head and saw none other than father. I tried escaping but his grip was so strong.
                          
" Akira already give you last warning not to leave  the estate!" He hissed, I just glared at him.
                          
" Let me go father!" I yelled, he just ignored my plea and opened the door in my room. He then pushed me and slammed the door. I huffed in annoyance, I'm so near in escaping. I heard a knock in my window making me opened it, my eyes widened when I saw a familiar golden orbs infront of  me. His cold face didn't change but I can sense that he is annoyed.
                          
" Senjuro!?"
                          
Senjuro's POV
It's been three days and no Yumi visited us. I stand up and grabbed my sword, I can't calm myself, I know that Yumi is okay but knowing that it's too sudden for her to go back. I can't stop myself but to worry. Naki told me everything, after she left I felt empty and sad that it irritates me everytime I think about her. I hissed and punched the tree, now I made up my mind I will get her back. I then started walking when I saw Aniki approaching me. 
                          
" Where are you going, Senjuro?" He asked, I stopped and faced him. But I didn't said anything and walked passed through him. " Yumi can't come back." I stopped again and clenched my hands.
                          
" What do you mean aniki?" I asked, I heard him sighed and turned around to face me too.
                          
" I went there yesterday and saw her father's right hand. I asked him about Yumi and he said that she is not allowed to go outside nor visit us." Now that irritates me the most, I calmed myself. I don't want to let my irritation out. 
                          
" So what will I do? Just sit and wait?? Aniki I can't. I'm going to take her, even if it cut our ties to the Sun estates." I saic coldy and continued walking. My brother didn't stopped me and I knew he also wants Yumi to come back. 
                          
Minutes had passed and I arrived at the Sun estate. I carefully sneaked in and tried to find Yumi's room. I heard some of the servant talking near me making me hide to the bushes.
                          
" Yumi-sama can't go out right now, it's because her father won't let her." One of them spoke.
                          
" Really? I pity Yumi-sama." When they already passed through I stand up, I can sense Yumi near me. I raised my head and saw a window making me throw a stone to hit it. I heard the windo opened making me jump and faced her. Now I can see her startled face, her brown eyes was staring at mine. I missed her badly, his fair skin and beautiful face. 
                          
" Senjuro!?" I smirked and entered to her room, it was simple but it smells like her. " What are you doing here? Akira will see y-" I didn't let her speak yet I pulled her into a tight hug. She was shocked but I she relaxed and hugged me back. I felt her sobbing making me back away and cupped her face.
                          
" S-senjuro, I don't like it in here. I feel like I'm a prisoner. I want to-" I shushed her and wiped her tears with a gentle smile on my lips. I know I'm showing her my old self that disappeared but I don't care seeing her cry weakened me. 
                          
" I came here to take you back." I whispered as I leaned my forehead to her. She then shook her face and cupped mine.
                          
" I can't Senjuro, my father will cut ties with the flame estate and I don't want it to happen." I furrowed my eyebrows and sighed.
                          
" You just said you don't like it in here." I said, she becomes silent making me ruffle her hair. " Let's go back, I don't care  if they will cut ties with us. As long as you stay with us, I don't care." Her eyes widened but then giggled.
                          
" I miss your old self Senjuro, now I can finally see it." I become flustered but didn't showed it. We heard a knock and it suddenly opened. Yumi's hand hold mine tightly when the door opened. Hana then appeared infront of us, she was shocked and confused.
                          
" Hana." Yumi then hugged her.
                          
" Neechan, and Senjuro-niisan? What  are you doing here?" She asked.
                          
" It's complicated to explain but he wants to vi-"
                          
" I came to take her back." I said cutting Yumi, Hana didn't said anything but smiled. 
                          
" Neechan, you to go before father will see him. I want you to go back at the flame estate, you are happy there right?" She said while holding Yumi's hand.
                          
" But you just came back from your long mission. I want to spend time with you."
                          
" Don't worry neechan, I will visist you at the flame estate. Now go, I can sense Akira coming here." Hana said while closing the door, I grabbed Yumi's hand and pulled her, carrying her bridal style. She squeled, I heard Hana giggled making me faced her. She nod making me mumble before jumping down and started running. Some servants saw  us and screamed as they enter the house.
                          
" Senjuro! I think father knew it." Yumi said with worried voice. I faced her and smiled.
                          
" Don't worry I will do everything just to bring you back."
