Chapter 8

/Mio’s POV/

‘Oi, let go of me! I say let go of me! Did you hear me?’ Raito demanded.

I ignored futile struggle that Raito made and tightened my grip on around his wrist as I pulled him along. I am not sure where I was headed, but I just wanted to get of that room and have a talk with Raito. What does he mean by ‘scheming to betray him with Sakamaki Tougo’. Wait. Don’t tell me he found out?! No, no! That can’t be true, all the meetings within Reinhart-sama and I are done secretly, Raito could not have found out.

‘Oi! Let. Go. Of. Me!’ After Raito finished his sentence, he slapped my hand away and managed to free himself from my grip, though he scratched my hand along the way.

My heart aches as I looked at the wound created by Raito. Raito will not hurt me at all. At least he promised not to, even if he did hurt me by accident he will hug me immediately with a frantic look on his face while trying his best to comfort me. Now. Even though I’m bleeding. Raito just stands in front of me. As if nothing has happened. Nothing.

‘Huh? What’s with that look on your face, it’s just a small cut, and you don’t have to cry.’ Raito spoke in a nonchalant voice.

Cry? I’m crying? Wait. Why am I crying?

‘Anyway, why did you bring me here? Didn’t you see I was getting in the mood with Mother?  And you just have to barge in and destroy the mood. Geez.’ Raito spoke in irritation.

‘Eh? What do you mean getting in the mood? Don’t tell me you are going to-‘

‘Of course I am going to have a happy night with her. What do you expect? One girl and one boy in a bed. Of course it is to do that. What do you expect? Tea party? Ha. Don’t make me laugh.’

Eh? Wait a minute. What is he talking about?  This is not Raito. Raito told me he only loves me. That’s not true. The person in front of me. Who is he?!

‘What’s with that bewildered face of yours? Ah, are you shocked of my actions? Or are you jealous of Mother? You don’t have to worry. Even if I did it with her, I can also do it with you?’ Raito approach me and wrap his arm around my waist and caress my face. Raito leaned in and made sure our face were about kissing range. ‘What’s wrong, my beloved Mio?’

SMACK!!

A loud smack can be heard while I look at Raito with a pained expression as I hold back my tears. Eh? What just happen? Before I knew it, my hand felt hot and is prickling with pain. Raito’s right cheek was red. Ah. I have slapped Raito. But for some reason, my heart squeezed as if it is malfunctioning. Why is it that my heart hurts more than my hand?

Raito chuckles as it rubs his right cheek and looked at me with a smug face. ‘Ouch, Mio. What was that for? It hurts you know. How are you going to pay if you ruined my face? Huh?’ Raito questioned as he pinched my chin with his hand and brought my face closer to his.

‘Hey! Stop it! This is not you! What are you doing?’ I screamed as I pushed him into a bush.

‘Ah, look at what you have done to my clothes. You even ruined the camellia bush. Ah, but oh well, since the camellia season has already passed, all the camellias have withered. It does not matter anymore.’

Eh? Camellia season? I took a proper look around. It’s Amour CaméliaCouleur! The garden Raito and I prepared for our secret meetings. Since on the day we met, we are surrounded with Camellia thus we made sure that this garden is filled with camellias. This garden is our love itself. But why? Since when are we here? I must have pulled Raito around with no direction and ended up here.

‘Sigh. It’s getting chilly out here, if you have nothing to say I am going inside. I also need to change clothes.’ Raito spoke and started walking.

‘Raito! Wait!’ I grabbed on Raito’s hand, preventing him from leaving.

‘Huh? What do you need?’ Raito questioned in a rather cold tone and looked at me with an annoyed expression.

‘What’s wrong with you? This whole day you are being cold to me. Did I do something wrong to annoy you? Are you starting to hate me? Are you getting tired of me? If there is something I did wrong, please tell me. I will change!’ I cried desperately as I tightened my grip around Raito’s hand.

‘Hate you? Tired of you? Let’s see. Maybe I am. Or rather, aren’t you the one who declared you are going to betray me? Even after those sweet promises of you will not betray me. But now, you are set to betray me cause of that man? You said you will change? How will you change? Be a good girl in front of me while you wag your tail to that man? Well, you have changed alright.’

‘Eh? What do you mean? Betray you for that man?’ Raito’s words came after me like a hurricane; I do not understand what he meant with those words. But for some reason, I have an ominous feeling about this.

‘Didn’t you say?! If it’s for Reinhart-sama I am willing to betray Raito?!’ Raito screamed and looked away. I cannot make out what expression Raito had since his face was covered by his hair. But I was sure that Raito was in pain.

‘Y-you were there? You heard about our conversation?’ I spoke in a trembling voice. Raito was there? He heard our conversation? How much does he know? How much have he heard? Does he know about the mission? All this thoughts began whirling in my head.

‘Oh yes I have heard it. If I was not there, I would have blindly followed you and be your puppet without knowing I was being betrayed!’ Raito shouted.

Looking at Raito’s reaction, you only heard the second half of the conversation. He does not know about the mission. This is just a misunderstanding. If I told him, Raito will be assured! You must not let Raito know about it. These words ringed in my head. That’s right, no matter what, Raito must not find out.

‘What’s this? Silence? Means you admitted it? Ha. Mio, you are such a slut!’ Raito mocked me as he pushed my hands away and walked towards the mansion.

‘No! Raito! Wait for me!’ I chased after Raito’s back. ‘Listen to my explanation! There is a reason-‘ You must not let Raito know about it. These words ringed in my head again and my movements were stopped. I wanted to move, I wanted to chase after Raito. I wanted to call out his name, tell him not to leave that I love him. But my efforts were futile. As if I was under someone’s control, I was not able to move without that someone’s command.

All I can do was to stand there and stare blankly at Raito’s back becoming smaller and smaller while tears began flowing down my tear duct with withered camellia as my company.

Ah withered camellia. Even you are laughing at me huh? At how pathetic I am, in order to honour the mission. In order to protect Raito. Even though I said I am willing to do anything to protect Raito. But when Raito left. Why does my heart felt as if it is stabbed with thousands of arrows dipped with poison?

My dear camellias. I am now lying in the pile of camellias in AmourCaméliaCouleur. The flowers that symbolises the love between me and Raito. My most cherished camellias. But I guess even when the camellias are withered, it still continues to symbolise our love. Except in a different meaning. Instead of symbolising love and admiration. It now symbolises rejected love. Just like how Raito rejected our love.
