Shadow`s of the enemy

"I wish I didn't," Aiden said bitterly. "It could stop me from killing Asmo..."

Toshi shrugged and smiled sadly. "For now, at least. All good things must come to an end." She sighed and walked away.

Itachi let her walk back to the kitchen and simply went into his room

Samu placed the bawl with the rice an toshi`s food on the table"ah, there you were toshi, could you find jaschu and goru?"

Miru poked him in the chest and ruffled his hair"and you dont wanna remeber how glad i used to be...", she said teasingly

Toshi smiled weakly, nodded and left. She knocked on Jashu's door and looked in. "Boys...dinner time."

Hitsu frowned. "Hey, why does she look so...sad?"

Aiden shrugged. "To tell you the truth, I don't really care..."

Itachi came in and sat down bye the table"..she saw miru tickling aiden..dont ask..and got sad because aiden had said it would be something only they played.."

Miru cut off the chains and pounched his shoulder befor going down into the kitchen

Goru nodded, took Jashu's front shirt and pulled him to the kitchen. After they went down, Toshi didn't follow. She went back to her room, put a "Do Not Disturb" sign and locked the door.

Aiden rolled his eyes and went down too. "B*tch..."

Miru easily entered the room with her jutsu and hugged tosi tightly"..please..tell okaa-sama whats wrong..dont be sad.."

Samu let out a sigh"..first you going on rampage and now a dinner start without the girls..cheers for a awfull day", he said rolling his eyes

Aiden shrugged. "All good things come to an end." He sighed, crossed his arms on the table, and rested his head on them.

Toshi was on the floor, kneeling to an open window. She was shaking, her head bent as she prayed.

Miru simply keept her hands around her and was silent befor she said"..what are you wishing for?.."

"I want...someone to come and take my place. Someone Miru-san can have to love without getting hurt..."

"...naka..there will..never be one that can take you place..and you dont hurt me..without you..i would be dead now.."

"But with me, you'll die soon..." Toshi said, whimpering. She had her eyes still shut, and her hands were shaking as she prayed. "I keep hurting you..."

Miru took herh ands around toshi`s gently"..it dosent matter...naka to be with you is what i wanna do..i dont care if i die soon..not being with you is worse than dead.."

"I love you, Miru-san...." she whispered. "But...when I love someone else, then that person just gets mesmerised by you..."

"...then who DO you love....", miru said inoring her last words

"First, Ita-san....but I know I can't have him. Then, Aiden-sama...but he's taken away too...." Toshi sneezed and rubbed her nose.

Miru took toshi`s head and turned it so she looked into miru`s black eyes"..aiden is not taken naka..whatever reasons you belive to it is not..his only reason for living is to love and be with you..the only reason he is friendly with me is because i make you happy..deep within you heart little one, you love him..."

"He'll be taken away, in time." Toshi smiled up at Miru through her tear-stained face. "No matter how the three princes love the ugly little worm, they will see that the pretty butterfly is the better prize, sooner or later."

Miru let out a smallsigh"the 3 princes want the pretty butterfly dead because shes the only one keeping the little worm away from their lust victem..", miru gave her a small smile back and hugged her again

Toshi frowned. "Lust wha....? And why would they love something so disgusting and ugly if they're princes?"

Aiden was watching from downstairs with his X-ray on. "Because the prince can break the curse and turn the worm into a princess...." he whispered.

"because the butterfly isent worth loving..and she just is a mere tool for them to gain their beloved little worm.."

"That's stupid. Everyone knows the butterfly is worth one thousand worms." Toshi frowned, sniffed, then continued praying. "Then... I wish that I can't love anyone but Miru-san....that way I don't have to see them getting ripped away from me."

"....naka..not being with you..makes me beliveyou dont love me.."

"I will love you, Miru-san," Toshi said, smiling as she prayed. "No one else but you..."

Miru let out a small sigh of relif"..that good.."

Toshi nodded and nuzzled her head against Miru. "Not Ita-san, Aiden-sama, Goru-chan, Jashu-chan or Shiro-chan..."
