In the end, the two of you bumped into a group of soldiers across the corner.

You thought Yae's hands were cold. But the moment Scaramouche snatched your wrist, shivers went down your spine. Perhaps it wasn't the temperature, but fear. Wordlessly, the shogun gripped onto your limb and stomped his way somewhere. Turning back to the Guuji, she only smiled and waved before the soldiers escorted her. You turned back to your companion. From what routes he was taking, you two were headed towards the garden.

Upon reaching the double gates, the soldiers carefully opened the doors. They stopped themselves from greeting the king once they saw the expression on his face. You didn't blame them. Kunikuzushi seemed like he might just burst into flames if one more word was spoken to him that day.

The grass was a shade of vibrant green and evenly cut. A few palace maids scurried pass by upon the emperor's arrival. They would've came over and babbled on about the latest drama going on to you, if it wasn't your friend's presence.

Hopefully, they wouldn't misunderstand the meaning of his tight grip on your wrist.

Memories came back to you from the past. When instead it was you who dragged Scaramouche all across Inazuma, forcing him to give you tours. Sadly, he wasn't allowed to leave Narukami island without all hell breaking out across the nation. You still had fun with him back then nonetheless.

"Kuni! How come there's trees made out of pink leaves here??"
The younger you pointed towards the sakura blooms hanging on thick branches. The young prince snorted at your excitement to something he was completely used to. "Silly, those aren't leaves." He caught a nicely preserved flower dropping to the ground by the wind. "These are sakura blooms."

Your eyes sparkled even more upon realizing the vibrant leaves were indeed petals of flowers. Sensei would be amazed to hear there's trees that grew flowers! "Woah... That's so pretty. Oh, what's that over there?"

Gently grabbing the boy's hand, you intertwined your tiny fingers with his. How warm his hands were back then. Kunikuzushi blankly stared at his no longer empty hands. One holding a sakura bloom, and the other holding yours.

"......"

"Huh? Did you say something?"

Shaking his head, the prince offered you his rare smile. "Nothing."
