Thousand-year Curse (1x1 w/DarkMudkip)

[DarkMudkip]

He hid behind his fan coyly, "Perhaps I made some for you."

 

[Jikkah]

“Oh?” She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. “And what would they be, pray tell?”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He blushed softly, "Well...you have to visit a lot...and you can't die...and you have to give me kisses sometimes..."

 

[Jikkah]

Amaya’s expression softened, cheeks flushing pink as he listed off the rules for her. “Anymore..?” She asked softly.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Those are the main three.." He replied, "I hope they aren't too overbearing."

 

[Jikkah]

Amaya shook her head. “I’ll do my best to not break them.” She said, taking a step closer, leaning in and kissing him on the cheek.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He blushed more and looked away with a fake pout, "Good."

 

[Jikkah]

Amaya let her smile drop a bit, looking down again. “I’ll do what I can to see what the school will decide on Akihime and Yukimura.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Most likely, they'll call for her execution. Yukimura, well...he might get lucky cuz he's rare, with his restriction and all." He said.

 

[Jikkah]

Amaya knew that they would handle Yukimura with kid gloves, while dishing out the harshest punishment possible for Akihime, making an example of her, regardless of her familial standing. “Well, if anything happens, I’ll keep my ears open.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He nodded, "Me too. The world is always buzzing with chaos."

 

[Jikkah]

Kojurou had never expected to receive the words he had just heard, always holding out hope, but he never expected the day would come so soon.
Jin had woken up.
The doctor had told him over the phone, telling him she was awake and alert, and they had already begun assessing her health while they awaited his arrival.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He didn't think he could get there fast enough. His heart pounded in his ears, was she really awake? Had the curse released her?

 

[Jikkah]

Nothing had changed to trigger the curse to lift, nothing obvious at the very least, but after years of waiting, what did he care?

 

[DarkMudkip]

He arrived at the hospital and hurried to her room, breathing hard as he stopped at the door.

 

[Jikkah]

Jin looked up from the doctor who was finishing taking her blood, looking frail and tired, but alive. She looked almost shocked to see Kojurou in the doorway. “Kojurou..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He moved over to her other side and held her cheek, "You...You're awake..." He muttered, tears stinging his eyes.

 

[Jikkah]

Jin nodded her head and smiled, placing her hand over his, leaning into his touch. “It still feels like I’m asleep..” She rasped.

 

[DarkMudkip]

He touched his forehead to hers and gave a shaky breath, "I thought I would never hear your voice again.." He muttered.

 

[Jikkah]

Jin closed her eyes, the passing of time feeling like a long dream rather than years. “I’m sorry that I was gone from you for so long.”
The doctor finished taking the blood samples, leaving the two to have their time together.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"I can't wait for you to come home. It's been so cold without your warmth." He said.

 

[Jikkah]

She nodded, giving a soft smile. “I heard you’ve become a sorcerer while I’ve been napping.” Jin looked up at him and cupped his cheek. “I’m proud..”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He held her hand gently and nodded, "I wanted to become strong enough to fix the wrong that had befallen you."

 

[Jikkah]

She shook her head. “You needn’t blame yourself, nor should you shoulder this alone- I’m here now.”

 

[DarkMudkip]

He nodded and kissed her gently, "And I couldn't be happier that you are. I missed you so much."
