Chapter 4 - Separation of Land and Power
In a bar the demon from the tree sits in a chair with his feet up on the table.
He has a very chiseled physique that's not overly muscular. Standing he is roughly 6 foot 6 inches tall. His hair is a dark black with glints of crimson in it.
"So Ta did you really kill all of those rebellious bastards?" Another patron asks.
"Some. The others were taken out by these men here tonight." Ta says patting the shoulder of the guy next to him.
The entire bar erupts into cheering.
Nara enters the bar and everyone falls silent. He orders a drink and turns around to survey the room.
"Don't mind me. Just passing through to the capital." Nara says with a smirk.
"To see that idiot ruler?" Ta asks.
"Sort of." Nara replies.
Ta looks at him with an eyebrow raised.
"I plan on kicking his ass for all these uprisings lately. I lost my farm because of it." Nara says lying his ass off.
"Is that so?" Ta says.
Nara looks at him and says, "For someone who dislikes the Lord of the Demon Realm why would you kill his enemies? Why not help the enemy of your enemy?"
"I could give a rat's ass about the Lord of the Demon Realm, we were defending our land." Ta explains.
"Then why did you let that samurai go by unharmed?" Nara asks downing the last of his drink.
Nara sets his mug down and leaves the bar.
"Yeah, why did you let them go?" A demon asks.
"That bastard." Ta says to himself and knocks the table over as he makes his way out of the bar.
He quickly catches up to Nara and hits him in the back of the head.
"Alright! Stop right there!" Someone shouts from the darkness of the village streets.
Ta puts his hands up and kneels.
A policeman steps out of the darkness.
Nara gets to his feet and sucker punches Ta.
"I said hold it!" The policeman says louder.
He restrains them and takes them to the jail.
"You two can cool off in here for the night." He says locking them into individual cells.
They sit there quietly for over an hour till Ta breaks the silence.
"Tell me something." Ta says, "Who are you?"
"You don't believe that I am a simple farmer?" Nara replies sitting up.
"No, you have the smell of blood on you." Ta says.
Nara laughs and rubs the back of his head.
"What did you do this time?" A man says from the doorway.
"Kogamaru?" Ta says standing up.
A man walks in and is roughly 5 foot 8 inches tall and slightly scrawny looking. He has an odd looking coat on and is wearing glasses. The way he looks resembles a modern day scientist.
"If you keep getting arrested, I may as well just marry the cop." A woman says walking in right behind Kogamaru.
She stands at an amazing 6 foot even and has an incredible body with a great even tan. Her curves make anyone stare at her, man or woman. Her hair is a beautiful deep crimson and her bangs covers her left eye.
"Lust?" Ta says smiling.
"She definitely lives up to her name." Nara says admiring her body.
"Thank you. You're not too bad either." She says walking up to Nara who is still seated.
He stands up and being 7 and a half feet tall, she looks up at him.
"Wow." She says almost breathless, reaching through the bars to touch his chest.
"Ahem." Ta and Kogamaru say together.
"Sorry." She says and snaps back to reality.
She opens the cell and Ta leaves.
"Talk to you later, farmer." Ta says and walks out with his arm around Lust's shoulders.
"Yep." Nara says and kicks the cell door down, "Say hello to Kyuso and Jealousy for me." Nara adds.
Ta stops dead and turns around.
"What? How do you know that name?" Ta asks.
Nara simply smiles and walks past him.
"Perhaps some other time. I have some other business to attend to." Nara says and disappears into the dense fog that has rolled in.
*****************************
Nara returns to where he left Shingi and Shin.
When he arrives the smell of blood is thick even through the dense fog.
"Lord Nara you have returned." Roswell says greeting him.
Nara ignores him and heads straight to Shin who's kneeling in front of a tree. There is a large gash that goes from the middle of his forehead across his right eye and ending at the edge of his jaw line.
"Don't worry. I am fine. I let my guard down for a second and Shingi took advantage of it." Shin says with his eyes closed.
"I see he made off with your other sword as well." Nara says shaking his head.
"He will pay for that in due time. For now vengeance isn't a priority." Shin says.
"You say so." Nara says looking the gash over once more but can't see it real well in the darkness and the fog.
"Come on Roswell, I know where we can get this taken care of." Nara says.
*****************************
In a small hut, Ta paces back and forth in front of Lust and Kogamaru.
"Just let it go. So what if he knew your parents' names." Kogamaru says.
"The only people who knew it is the three of us. How did he?" Ta says still pacing.
"Well, we are going home so let us know if you figure it out." Kogamaru says helping Lust up.
They leave and Ta throws a water bucket at the bookcase. A small box shatters when the bucket hit it, sending its contents everywhere.
As Ta is picking them up he sees a small scroll.
"Orders?" He says reading the outside of the scroll.
"By orders of Lord Eiji Nakahara, Your presence is requested at the castle for the seventh birthday of the future Lord of the Demon Realm, Nara Nakahara. Signed, Lord Eiji Nakahara." Ta reads.
He rereads it a couple times and slams his fist through the table on accident.
In his excitement he tries to leave the hut but the table that is attached to his wrist stops him in the doorway.
"Damn it!" He says and breaks free.
Across the village he slides to a halt and pounds on Kogamaru's door.
"I figured it out! I know who he is!" Ta says bursting in. Lust and Kogamaru quickly cover up and look at him.
"Sorry. That was Lord Nara Nakahara." Ta says.
"As in Lord of the Demon Realm, Lord Nara Nakahara?" Kogamaru asks.
"The one and only." Ta says.
"Really?" Lust says licking her lips.
"See you two later." Ta says and leaves.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Lust shouts to him.
"Gotta tell somebody about this!" Ta shouts back and disappears into the fog.
Lust grabs her clothes and gets dressed.
"Sorry, maybe next time." Lust says and runs off.
"The first night I have been home since we started dating and she leaves." Kogamaru says laying back in bed.
He finally gets up and dresses then follows after the other two.
*****************************
"SESSARUUUUUU!!!" Ta shouts as he runs through the village in the early morning hours.
As he rounds the corner of a hut he is greeted by an elbow to the chest, that knocks him to the ground.
"It's too early to be shouting like an idiot." Misaka says standing above him.
"A "be quiet" would of been sufficient." Ta says standing up holding his chest, "Where is Sessaru?"
"Oh little Sessy, Ta is here to see you." Misaka says with a laugh.
Sessaru steps out wearing a fancy looking kimono with his black hair done up in a small bun. The blue streaks are barely visible. He stands at a mere 5 foot 7 inches tall and has an average build.
Ta stands there and holds his laughter back till Lust comes running up from behind him and dies of laughter. Both of them are on the ground laughing their asses off for several minutes.
"You both suck." Sessaru says to Ta and Lust.
"Sorry." Ta says getting up and wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Misaka, why must you dress me like this? I am a guy not a girl." Sessaru says.
"Because we love you." Misaka replies.
"Guess who I met last night and got a cheap shot on?" Ta asks excitedly.
"Who?" Sessaru asks swatting Lust's hands away.
"If you put some small sacks of flour or rice, he could pass as a female." Lust says squeezing Sessaru's chest.
"Mir is working on that now." Misaka says.
"And what about...." Lust asks pointing down.
"Got it covered. Here take a look." Misaka says lifting the front of the kimono open so she can see.
"Very interesting." Lust says reaching and touching.
Sessaru turns red and keels over in a little ball, holding himself.
"That's the downside." Misaka says.
Ta shakes his head and helps his friend to his feet.
"Lord Nara." Ta says holding up the scroll.
Misaka's ears perk up.
"You attacked Lord Nara?" She asks clenching her fist.
"He got me back." Ta says backing away and uses Sessaru as a shield.
"Let me go." Sessaru says and shakes free of his kimono. He stands there in front of everyone butt naked for a second before leaping inside.
"How's this sister?" A young girl asks dragging out two large bags of rice.
"Too big. We need them smaller." Misaka says in a sweet voice.
"What in the world is going on out here?" Amaya asks opening the door, "Misaka quit touching your brother. People may get the wrong idea."
"See ya mom. Ta and I are going to the capital." Sessaru says and kisses her cheek.
"Bye." Ta says and kisses her other one.
Kogamaru rides up on a horse and Lust climbs on.
"Aren't you going with?" Amaya asks.
"No. I have to help in the fields today. I'll go tonight." Misaka says.
Down the road, Ta is running next to Sessaru.
"Wait why are we going to the capital?" Ta asks.
"To get me out of my house." Sessaru replies.
*****************************
That afternoon, Nara, Shin, and Roswell walk into the village.
"You sure have grown." Amaya says standing in her doorway.
Nara smiles and she gives him a hug.
"Come on in." She says.
Shin kneels next to the table and Nara sits next to him. Roswell sits across from them.
"That looks quite bad." Amaya says looking at Shin's gash, "I'll get the doctor."
That evening, Shin is sleeping peacefully while Nara and Amaya catch up.
"Mom, what's with the blue troll running around?" Misaka asks as she enters and closes the door behind her.
Amaya simply smiles till Misaka finally notices Nara sitting there.
She stands like a statue.
"Go on get cleaned up. Why don't the two of you hit the hot springs like last time?" Amaya says clapping her hands together.
Amaya laughs to herself and pushes Misaka into the back room to get her cleaned up.
*****************************
Two days later, Sessaru, Ta, Kogamaru, and Lust all sit in a inn overlooking the castle gates.
"OPEN THE GATES!" One guard shouts.
Ta looks out the window and sees Nara ride up with Shin and Roswell.
"Misaka?" Sessaru says surprised to see her.
The four of them scramble to get to the gate before it closes and get there just in time.
"Lord Nara!" Ta shouts.
"Shin go straight to the doctor." Nara says, "Aurora make sure he gets there." Nara says to her before heading down the stairs to Ta and everyone else.
He motions for them to follow as he leads the horses back to the stable.
"So how did you figure it out?" Nara asks Ta.
Ta hands him the scroll and Nara reads it.
Lust takes a step forward and an arrow zips by her head.
"Don't even think about it." Kareen says with an arrow pointed straight at Lust.
Nara looks back and Kareen stands down.
"We will discuss this later." He says to her and walks back to the gardens with the four of them.
"Still haven't changed." Misaka says walking past her.
"Humph!" Kareen says and storms into the castle.
Roswell peeks out from behind a wall and smiles as he watches Kareen go inside.
*****************************
Over the next couple weeks, Nara shows Ta and Sessaru around the castle while Kogamaru sticks close to the massive lab. Lust and Misaka compete for Nara's attention but are chased off by arrows each time.
Roswell tries his best to seduce Kareen but fails miserably each time.
One evening while sitting in the library with Ta, Sessaru, and Shin, (who's wound has healed rather well considering its location.) Nara stands before them.
"I have an idea that I would like to propose to the three of you." He says, "I have given it much thought and consideration. I know my father fought to bring the lands together as one but I would like to offer each of you your own land. You would still be under my command but you would be able to rule the land your own way." He adds.
The three of them nearly drop their drinks.
"I don't want to destroy my father's vision but this is proving to be rather difficult to rule by myself. He was very fortunate to have Daisuke by his side to help him." Nara says.
"You want to give each of us a part of the Demon Realm to rule?" Sessaru asks.
"Yes. Any way you see fit." Nara says.
"How would you split the lands?" Shin asks.
"Easy, You would take the North. Sessaru the West and Ta would take the South." Nara replies.
The three of them sit back and think it over.
"It sounds good to me. Count me in." Shin says after thinking it over.
"What brought this about?" Ta asks.
"I wanted to repay a small bit of the debt I owe for slaying my father." Nara says and then looks at Shin, "I figured giving control of the North to my father's closest friend would be part of it.," Looks at Sessaru, "The land to the son of the only other woman whom my father loved but couldn't have." Looks at Ta, "To the closest thing my father had to an older brother." Nara says and looks up at the ceiling.
"We're in." Ta says agreeing for Sessaru.
"Your father had it right at that party. He said we would all become good friends one day." Nara says.
"I think we were destined for this." Shin says raising his cup up.
"To our fathers!" Ta says and they all drink.
*****************************
"LORD NARA!" Roswell shouts down the hall the following morning.
He runs down the hall and Nara waits patiently.
"Is it true you have split the lands?" He asks.
"You should really not listen in on private conversations. I have." Nara replies.
"I was wondering if I may be the Lord of the Eastern Lands?" Roswell asks.
"We just met. I'm not even sure I can trust you." Nara replies.
"You just met Ta and he attacked you first." Roswell says.
"True, but my father knew his father and trusted him with his life. So I am doing the same." Nara says.
Roswell sighs and Nara rolls his eyes.
"I'll think of a test for you and if you pass I will consider turning the Eastern Lands over to you." Nara says.
Roswell's eyes light up and he runs down the hall.
"Now for that nice hot soak." Nara says and continues his way to the bath.
He sits down in the hot steamy water and relaxes.
"Milord?" Lust says in a seductive voice.
"Yes?" Nara replies.
"Can I ask you a favor?" She says pressing herself against him as she sits on his lap.
Nara opens his eyes and looks at her.
"I appreciate the offer and it looks like a wonderful deal but I am going to have to pass at the moment. It would be better for both of us." Nara says and glances at his hand.
Lust stands up and steps right over his head.
"Any time." She says and slowly bends over for a towel.
"I swear this would be a wonderful way to go." Nara says to himself.
Suddenly a sharp pain in his thigh snaps him to reality.
"Master, you seem to bleeding for some strange reason." Kareen says removing a small dagger from his thigh.
She sits next to him in the warm water and relaxes as well.
Thanks to the steam her red face is hidden.
"I could sit on your lap if you'd like." She whispers.
"What?" Nara asks.
"Really you don't have to help. I can do it." Shin says walking in with Aurora right behind him.
"But my brother did this to you and stole something of yours. The least I can do is become your familiar." Aurora says.
Shin sighs and hangs his head.
"All right. I give up. You win." Shin says and Aurora smiles as she starts to wash his back.
"Lady Kareen, there is someone at the gates to see you." A guard says from the doorway.
Kareen leaves and Misaka slips in next to Nara.
"That was clever." Nara says.
Misaka sits there next to him and swallows hard with her heart racing as she lays her head on his chest.
"Finally." She says to herself with a large smile.
*****************************
Three days pass and the entire Demon Realm has packed into the capital.
"Citizens of the Demon Realm, I stand before you today with a joyous announcement. I realize some of you are unhappy about the way I run things. That's fine. Today I have a solution for that problem. Allow me to introduce the three new Lords of the Northern, Western, and Southern Lands!" Nara says into a microphone and the crowd is full of mixed responses.
"Nothing is changing. I will still be Lord of the Demon Realm but these three will be rulers of the lands so that the uprisings will stop. If you have a problem in the Northern Lands you can go to Lord Shin Ohayashi, son of the late General Daisuke Ohayashi. My father's right hand. For you Western Lands may I present to you Lord Sessaru Shuiel. (The demons from the West cheer as they recognize that name.) And for those Southerners, Ta." Nara explains and the crowd erupts with cheering.
Nara pushes each of the new Lords up so that the people can get a look at them.
Amaya and Hikaru both stand off to the side with tears of joy in their eyes as they cheer for their sons.
*****************************
A year later all three new castles have been built and the citizens have gotten rather used to the idea. For the most part peace has overcome the lands.
Nara sits in the throne room on the floor staring at the throne.
While he is lost in thought, Kareen enters and sees him sitting there. She smiles and closes the door.
"I understand and will figure something out." Nara says to the throne.
"Lord Nara?" Kareen says opening the door again.
Nara walks over and looks at her.
"The doctor wishes to see me right?" Nara says and heads to the doctor's room.
Kareen stands there confused.
"Lord Nara, I have been doing some research and came across something very interesting." The doctor says and sets down a book about the same size as Nara's book.
"This is a book of every S ranked demon in the entire history of the Demon Realm." The doctor says and opens it.
"That's a lot." Nara says.
"There are only thirteen. The rest is blank pages. I noticed a pattern and am very concerned." The doctor starts.
"Go on." Nara replies.
"Well, aside from the Demon Spell Castor that wrote your book and Lord Osamu, who died at your father's hands, all the other S ranked demons went mad from the overwhelming power and died. I'm afraid that this could happen to you someday." The doctor explains.
Nara sits there quietly for several moments before finally saying something.
"I have a question." Nara says.
*****************************
That evening while Nara sits in the library, Roswell enters.
"Lord Nara it has been a year since you said you would test me to see if I am qualified to run the Eastern Lands." Roswell says.
Nara puts down his book.
"You're absolutely right. I have finally thought of something. Its perfect. I have an errand to run and you shall run the lands in my absence." Nara says jumping up.
"You mean it?" Roswell says excitedly.
"Of course. Kareen shall oversee you and make sure you don't get out of hand." Nara says.
"Thank you!" Roswell says and runs off nearly running over Kareen.
"What was that all about?" Kareen asks.
"I am off to see Shin, Ta, and Sessaru. While I am gone he is going to run things with your supervision." Nara says.
"If I must. I don't trust him." Kareen says.
"I know what you mean but just keep the damage to the minimum while I am gone." Nara says and leaves.
*****************************
"Listen up!" Roswell says into the microphone the next morning, "Lord Nara has left me in charge while he is away. I am Lord Roswell and you will give me the respect I deserve." Roswell says with a big smile.
Kareen rolls her eyes and watches as the citizens go on about their business not even paying attention to him.
"Why aren't they listening and bowing before me?" Roswell asks.
"They are self governing." Kareen replies and Roswell looks at her confused, "They don't need Lord Nara for anything. Hence why they didn't listen to you."
"So what exactly will I be doing while he is gone?" He asks.
"Not a damn thing. I use these times to hone my skills. I suggest you do the same." Kareen replies.
"Lord Roswell!" A woman shouts from the gates.
Roswell straightens up and looks at the woman with a big smile.
"Let her through." Roswell tells the guards.
The woman runs and kneels before him.
"I am Sephile and I wish to be your familiar." She says still bowing.
Kareen rolls her eyes as she watches.
"Is that so. Stand so that I can get a better look at you." Roswell says.
She stands and is roughly about 6 foot tall, slender, with long silver hair down to the back of her knees, and large golden eyes staring at him. Strapped to her thigh are a dozen poison tipped throwing knives.
Roswell is speechless as he looks her over.
"You'll do very nicely." Roswell finally says.
Kareen turns and heads for the archery range. Roswell quickly follows behind her with Sephile behind him. A sly smirk crosses her lips as she admires the castle on the way to the archery range.
Once there a young girl hands Kareen her bow.
"Thanks Becky." Kareen says as she takes the bow.
"Alright, what are some of your strengths and your weaknesses?" Kareen asks Roswell.
"I am all muscle. (flexes for Kareen who ignores him) I can regenerate from any wound." Roswell says.
Kareen fires an arrow into his upper arm and rips it out. Within a couple minutes it heals.
"You need to work on that. Go stand out on the range and be the target for the new archers." Kareen says and hands him a large helmet.
"He dies. You die." Sephile whispers.
"I die. Your entire family dies." Kareen replies with a smile.
"Bitch." Sephile says walking off to the side.
Seven new archers stand at the line and take aim.
"Fire at will." Kareen says and the archers fire.
A couple hours pass and Roswell's regeneration is slowly getting faster.
*****************************
Up north, Nara rides through the canyon where Kenzo's screams can be heard clearly even though he has been dead for over a year.
"Hikaru was not joking." Nara says to himself.
He finally reaches Shin's castle which is beyond his home village.
"Lord Nara what brings you here?" Shin asks as he wipes the sweat from his face then sheaths his sword.
"More training?" Nara asks looking around at the dozen or so others training as well.
"Of course. This peace won't last forever." Shin says.
"May I talk to you, privately." Nara says.
In the library, Nara an Shin are seated.
"Has this ever been done?" Shin asks.
"A few times but they weren't like you. They were farmers and peasants so their bodies were made for it." Nara replies.
"What makes you think I need that?" Shin asks.
"The demons are becoming more powerful as the centuries go by. Think of it as a precaution." Nara explains.
Shin is silent for a moment and then asks, "What about the others?"
"Ta and Sessaru?" Nara asks, "They are my next stop. I came to you first since it will be the easiest and smallest. Ta is next and Sessaru is the last stop due to obvious reasons." Nara explains.
"Alright. Let's get this over with." Shin says and sighs.
Nara opens his book and flips through the pages.
*****************************
As Kareen, Roswell, and Sephile make their way to the dining room, a guard shouts, "INTRUDER!"
A man in a black ninja outfit and a black mask drops from the rafters and sprints down the hall towards the approaching guards. Another group runs past Kareen and take their positions. The intruder is surrounded and the guards take aim with their bows.
Roswell and Sephile both try to intervene but Kareen holds them off.
The intruder runs up the wall and the guards fire their arrows. The intruder makes it to the rafters but jumps down immediately.
"Very good. You have improved greatly. Number eight you got the kill shot." The intruder says holding an arrow up with the number 8 on it.
"What is going on?" Roswell asks.
"Training. What's it look like?" Kareen says and walks up to the intruder and talks with him for a moment before continuing on to the dining room.
"Show me your face." Roswell demands as the man walks by.
The man looks at Roswell and keeps going till Sephile blocks his path. She holds up a poison tipped throwing knife.
"I only answer to Lord Nara." The man says.
"I am acting Lord till Lord Nara returns. My word is just as if he said it." Roswell says.
"I only answer to Lord Nara himself. You don't have the authority to order me around." The man says.
"You insolent bastard! I am the Lord of the Eastern Lands!" Roswell shouts.
"For a short time." The man says and ducks down while catching Sephile's hand with the knife and holds it to Roswell's throat.
The man stands behind Sephile with his hand grasping her throat tightly. Roswell backs against the wall and swallows hard.
"I see." He whispers into Sephile's ear.
"Now I will be on my way, Roswell. Sephile." The man says and releases her hand and throat.
He vanishes into the dark hallway as a couple guards laugh at the scene.
"How dare you laugh at Lord Roswell! You shall be punished for this." Sephile snaps at the guards.
"Who was that?" Roswell asks the guards.
"That would be Koji. Nara's personal scout, messenger, assassin, and bodyguard." One says.
"You two should be more careful. He may just kill you next time." The other one says before they get back to their posts.
*****************************
"Heard you met Koji." Kareen says with a smile as they enter the dinning room, "I suggest you leave him alone. Even I don't have the authority for him to obey me."
"Why doesn't he have to obey Lord Roswell?" Sephile asks.
"Not sure. You'll have to ask Nara when he gets back." Kareen replies.
*****************************
About three days later, Nara is standing before Ta.
"Alright. I can see what you mean. Come on." Ta says and leads Nara to the library.
*****************************
Two days later, Sessaru is tied to a chair and struggling.
"Milord, Lord Nara to see you." A servant says through the door.
Nara opens the door and shakes his head at the sight before closing the door.
"New hobby?" Nara asks sitting next to Sessaru.
Sessaru is once again dressed like a woman. Mir (Sessaru's younger sister) enters carrying a small case. She is about 6 or 7 with black hair and deep blue eyes.
Misaka enters behind her carrying two small bags of rice.
She nearly drops them when she sees Nara sitting there.
"We weren't expecting company." She says pulling her short night shirt down which makes her chest stick out more before running off.
"Big sister likes you. She is always saying so. At night she calls your name out but she sounds funny." Mir says opening the case and climbing on to Sessaru's lap.
"Mir! Shut it!" Misaka says running back in. She has completely dressed herself in a fancy silk kimono and done her hair and make up.
"See. She gets mad that means its true." Mir says before jumping down and running away from Misaka.
Nara simply laughs and shakes his head.
"We need to talk." Nara says and unties Sessaru.
"Sure. About what?" Sessaru asks.
"Get cleaned up and I'll explain it." Nara says.
*****************************
"Let me get this straight. You want to give me some of your actual powers to make me an S ranked demon." Sessaru says.
"Yes. You see, As a natural S rank I run the risk of losing my mind and obliterating the entire Demon Realm. But if I give you my power then I will be safe for a long while." Nara replies.
"What did Ta and Shin say?" Sessaru asks.
"They were given a spell since they were both A ranked. Since you are a C ranked demon you require more power." Nara answers.
Sessaru sits and thinks it over for nearly an hour.
"Alright. Let's do this." Sessaru says.
Nara nods and opens his book.
A bright light fills the room and a strange smoke pours off of Nara and enters Sessaru. A couple minutes later its over and both drop to the ground unable to move for awhile.
Sessaru is the first one up and moving around. Nara rolls onto his back and laughs.
"So how does it feel?" He asks.
"Not sure. I feel the same." Sessaru replies.
He helps Nara up and to a spare bedroom.
*****************************
The following morning, Nara awakens to someone wiping his arm with cool water. He opens his eyes and sees Misaka there with a rag and a bucket of water.
"You were sweating real bad." She says and continues.
"I'm in your bed aren't I?" Nara says.
Her eyes widen.
"Your scent is everywhere." He adds.
She blushes.
"It's very nice and comforting." Nara says and closes his eyes once more.
She sits there holding his arm, completely stunned but with a smile on her face.
