Chapter Nine
Departure
Cye slowly opened his eyes and placed a hand to his head. He realized that he was lying in bed; in a dark room. He sat up and looked around. “This is the room where Kento and I sleep when we are at Mia’s,” he said to himself. Cye looked at his alarm clock that was on the night stand beside his bed. “Seven-o-clock at night?” He flung his legs from under the covers and got to his feet; stumbling a little as he walked to the door. He poked his head out into the hallway; it was very quiet. He headed down the hallway to the top of the stairs where he saw Ryo and Mia. They were sitting in the living room talking.
“Cye,” Mia smiled; noticing the wounded warrior as he walked down the steps.
“Hey. How do you feel?” Ryo asked, turning his head to look at his friend.
“Better,” Cye said as he made his way down. “How long have I been out?”
“Almost two weeks,” Mia answered.
&n bsp; “Two weeks?!”
“You were hurt pretty badly,” Ryo exclaimed. “Sage was the one who healed most of your wounds.”
Cye looked at his wrists and saw that the cut marks from that sharp thread were gone. He was a little sore in between the legs, but he guessed that was normal. “Sage got hurt pretty badly himself.” Cye recalled the event where Sage freed him and then collapsed. “Where is everyone?”
“They are all sleeping,” Mia said. “Sage has been out for a couple of days now. He used up most of his energy just to heal you.”
“He only healed you and Hana,” Ryo informed. “We told him not to worry about us.”
“Only me and... where is Hana? Is she okay?” Mia and Ryo both looked at each other then looked at Cye. “What?”
“Hana is upstairs in the room two doors down from yours,” Mia stated. “But I’m afraid she hasn’t come out of her room.”
“Except to go to the bathroom or take a shower, but she usually does those things at night,” Ryo said.
“Has she eaten anything?” Cye asked with concern in his voice.
“She doesn’t come down for dinner when we call her. She might have snuck food upstairs without us knowing,” Mia said.
“But I have seen her by your bedside, crying softly,” Ryo softly.
“I’ll make her dinner and go up to her room myself. She has to eat or else she’ll get sick.” Mia and Ryo didn’t say anything or try to argue with him. They just watched as Cye headed into the kitchen for some food.
“Hana?” he said softly.
Hana turned around and got up. “Cye?”
Cye smiled gently and walked up to her. “I brought you some dinner. Mia and Ryo said that you haven’t eaten for a week. Are you feeling okay?”
“I-I’m alright. How are you feeling? Does anything hurt?”
“I’m alright.” Hana turned her back on him and didn’t say anything for a while. Cye didn’t understand why she was acting this way until he saw her shoulders start to shake. He placed the tray of food on the desk and walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her body. He could hear her sobbing and hugged her tighter. “What’s wrong, Hana? Why are you acting this way?”
“I-I’ve caused you… so much pain, to you and your friends,” she cried. “I don’t... deserve to be here.”
“Don’t say that,” Cye said sternly. “You didn’t do anything. It wasn’t your fault.”
“But it was my fault! I’m... such a coward and a weakling... that I couldn’t prevent Akui from… hurting you.”
Cye turned her around so that he was looking directly into her watery blue eyes. “Hana, you are not a weakling or a coward. That’s what I love about you. That you try your hardest and that’s what made me defeat Akui. Your love kept me going and I am grateful for that.”
“Cye…”
He pulled her into him, hugging her gently. “I love you, Hana and I hate seeing you like this. My heart aches for you.”
Tears started to flow from her eyes again and onto his shirt where she buried her face into. “I love you too.”
Cye smiled and rubbed her back, trying to calm her down a bit. “Let’s eat dinner now, okay?” Hana nodded against his chest then pulled away. Cye grabbed the tray and motioned her to the bed. Hana didn’t waste any time and sat on the bed, waiting for him. “I made you some miso soup, because I know how much you like that.”
“I do,” she said. “Thank you, Cye, for taking such good care of me.”
“Don’t be silly,” he said as he sat down across from her. “I will always protect you and take care of you.” Hana smiled and nodded slowly. “Here.” Cye handed her a bowl of soup and a spoon. She took it from him and immediately started eating. Cye couldn’t help but smile as he watched her enjoy her meal. They both ate together, mostly in silence. “Hey, Hana.”
“Yes, Cye?”
“What about your family?” Hana’s heart skipped a beat and her face suddenly went pale. “I know that the story you told me when I first met you, it was all lies. I would like to know about your real family.” Hana didn’t say anything and just hung her head. Cye saw tears fall into her rice bowl and got the sudden feeling that he said something he shouldn’t have. “Hana?”
“M-My family... isn’t with me anymore. The only reason… the only reason why I agreed to do Akui’s bidding, was to save my family from harm. But he turned on me... and destroyed my family in one blast. It was my fault too because I picked a fight with him.”
Cye just sat there, feeling rage and sorrow as he heard Hana explain her story to him. There was nothing he could do. Akui was dead, but he couldn’t bring back her family. Cye took the bowl from her hands and placed it on the tray. Most of the food was gone, so he took it back to the desk. When he returned to the bed, he saw her crying into her palms. “I just had to bring up the subject?” he thought to himself as he sat down on the bed. “She’s in more pain now than ever.” All he could do was try to comfort her.
Cye took her hands away from her face and pressed his lips against hers. Hana’s eyes widened at the sudden action, but relaxed and returned his kiss. As their tongues danced with one another, he gently pushed his body down on her. She fell onto her back with him on top of her. Cye broke the kiss so that the both of them could catch their breaths. He looked down at Hana and saw that her face returned back to its regular color.
“Cye…”
He took her lips into another passionate kiss. He proceeded down her neck as he placed gentle kisses on her soft skin. Hana moaned softly while her hands caressed the sides of Cye’s thighs. Just with the feeling of her touching him, made him harder. He wanted her badly, but had to take things slowly one step at a time. He didn’t want to rush into things and make her feel uncomfortable. Cye removed his lips from her and started to undress her. Heat filled his body as he took off her clothing. He stared at her; taking in the beauty that her body presented to him.
“Like what you see?” Hana asked in curiosity.
All Cye could do was nod; his throat was too dry to speak.
“I’m glad because I think your body is beautiful too,” Hana said softly. She sat up and took off Cye’s shirt. Her eyes started to water when she saw all the scars that were visible on his torso. Cye took her hand in his and looked at her.
“It’s okay, Hana,” he said.
“I know but-” Hana was cut off by Cye’s index finger.
“Don’t worry so much.”
Hana nodded slowly and went for his belt next. In truth, he was still feeling sore. Just thinking about him wincing in pain while he pleasured Hana, made him feel uneasy. Cye’s thoughts were interrupted when he realized that he was completely naked. He felt Hana’s hand touch his length gently. She had a sad expression on her face as she stared at the healing wound. A groan escaped from Cye’s mouth before he could stop it. Hana’s head shot up from the sound and looked at Cye with worried eyes.
“You’re still hurting, aren’t you?” she asked. Cye looked to the side and didn’t say anything. Hana placed her hand against Cye’s cheek and turned his head so that he was looking at her. “We don’t have to do this if you are still in pain.” Cye stared into Hana’s blue eyes for a moment, and then smiled.
“I’ve felt worst pain than this, trust me,” he said.
“I don’t believe you,” she said quietly.
Cye kissed her gently and looked at her with passionate eyes. “I want to do this. Do you trust me?”
Hana smiled and nodded. “I trust you.”
“Good,” he said. He reached for his jeans and pulled out a condom from one of the pockets. He slipped it on and then captured her lips fervently.
Cye moved Hana on her back as he rested on top of her. He moaned softly when he felt her arms wrap around him. Hana broke the kiss, gasping for air. Her body was already sweating from the heat that her body was producing.
“You’re so beautiful, Hana,” Cye complemented as he moved his head down to her breasts.
“Thank you…” Hana said, her cheeks turning red. She gasped when she felt Cye take one of her nipples in his mouth. She could feel herself getting wetter each time he touched her. She wanted him now. “Cye... I want you so badly.”
Cye took her nipple out of his mouth and looked at her. “Are you sure this isn’t too soon?” he asked.
“No. I want to feel you inside me. Please, Cye.”
Cye couldn’t say no to that answer no matter how long he wanted this to last. “Very well.” Cye got to his knees and guided his member to her opening. Cye tried to hold back a groan as he pushed himself slowly into her. Pain erupted in his body by how tight she was. He closed his eyes tightly, hoping that Hana didn’t recognize his painful expression. She took his hand into hers, wishing that the pain would go away.
“We can stop, Cye,” Hana suggested.
“No...” Cye gasped.
“But you are in pain!”
“I can handle it.”
“But…” Hana stopped at what she was saying when she heard a strangled yell from Cye. She didn’t notice that he had quickly thrust himself into her all at once. Tears were coming out of the corners of his eyes as he gripped the bed sheets tightly in his fists. “Are you nuts?!” Hana was about to get up when Cye stopped her. “Why are you doing this?!” Tears started to form in her eyes as she looked at her lover. Cye smiled and looked at her. “Why are you smiling?”
“I’m fine now,” Cye whispered. “I had to do it in one thrust or else the pain would keep coming. I had to get pass the tightness.” Hana just looked at him as if he was going crazy. “It will hurt a bit, but I want to make you feel better, Hana. I want to show you my love for you and that’s why I’m not stopping.”
Hana felt Cye start to thrust inside of her in slow motions. Hana moaned at the feeling that Cye was giving her, even though he was hurting inside. “You’re... nuts...” she struggled to say.
“I know...” Cye moaned.
The pain slowly slipped away and Cye’s thrusts got faster and harder. In no time both bodies were covered in sweat and both of them were gasping for air.
“Ah! Cye faster!” Hana cried.
Cye grunted as he pushed himself further into Hana’s debts. He could feel his release coming but tried to postpone it. Cye’s mind was racing as he felt Hana’s walls clamped tightly against him. Hana placed her sweaty palms on his back with her neck extended outward. Cye slammed into her one more time before she let go. She moaned Cye’s name as her body shook uncontrollably. This triggered Cye’s release with a loud moan. Cye collapsed on top of Hana, gasping for air. He could hear Hana’s heartbeat racing due to the lack of oxygen.
“That was... wonderful,” Hana panted.
“I’m glad…” Cye responded. Hana moved Cye’s bangs away from his sweaty face with one of her hands. “You are the one who completes me Hana and I never want to lose you.” Cye closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Hana looked down at Cye with sad eyes then fell asleep as well.
“Everyone must be in the kitchen,” Cye said to himself as he headed down the stairs. When he entered the kitchen, everyone was already eating breakfast.
“Hey, Cye,” greeted Sage.
“Hi,” Cye yawned.
“Tired huh? You should be,” Kento grinned.
“What does that mean?” Cye asked.
“You and Hana were busy last night, huh?” Kento asked slyly.
Cye could feel his cheeks burning up. “W-what makes you say that?”
“Oh please. I woke up in the middle of the night to get something to eat and you weren’t in your bed. I heard noises in Hana’s room.”
No one said anything. Rowen dropped his toast and Ryo stood in front of the fridge with his hand around the handle.
“Did you, Cye?” Sage asked nonchalantly.
“Well…”
“It's okay if you don't want to tell us. It's not our business anyway,” Ryo said as he opened the fridge and took out a grapefruit.
“No, no. Kento's right. We did make love…”
“Knew it,” Kento said proudly.
Rowen slapped Kento over the head. “Kento! I hope you used protection.”
“We did,” Cye said softly.
“Good,” Rowen said.
Cye smiled weakly then looked around the kitchen for Hana.
“Where’s Hana?” Cye asked.
“I saw her head outside right before breakfast,” Sage said.
“Why?”
“I don’t know, but she didn’t look too happy.”
“Where could she have gone?” Ryo asked.
“I think I know,” Cye said and headed out of the kitchen.
“Hana?” he asked as he walked toward her.
Hana turned around with tears in her eyes. “Oh! Hi, Cye,” she said softly, wiping the tears with her hand.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I have things that I need to take care of, Cye,” she said as she turned her back on him.
“What kind of things?”
“I need to go see some of my relatives. I have to tell them about my family.”
“They live far, don’t they?”
Hana nodded and then started crying. “I’m sorry…”
“Don’t be sorry. You have to do what you have to do. I’m not mad.”
“But still…”
“Look, you can always come back when you are done.”
Hana looked at Cye. “I can?”
“Of course and I’ll be waiting for your return.”
“Thank you, Cye.” Cye hugged her tightly with tears flowing from his eyes as well.
Cye nodded slowly. The five of them were sitting in the living room. Cye explained Hana’s situation to them.
“She said that it was her duty to inform her relatives about the unfortunate event,” Cye said in a monotone voice.
“I hate the fact that she was dragged into this mess,” Kento said angrily.
“You aren’t the only one,” Rowen said.
“Do you know how long she is going to be gone?” Sage asked.
Cye shook his head. “She said that her family lives in Nagoya.”
“That’s pretty far from here,” Rowen said.
The men snapped out of their stupor when they heard footsteps approaching them. Mia and Hana were walking to the front door. Hana was carrying luggage in her hands.
“So this is goodbye?” Ryo asked.
“No. I’ll be back,” Hana said. “That’s a promise.”
“Good because you are fun to hang around with,” Kento said as he gave Hana a big hug.
“Take care of yourself,” Sage said.
“I will,” Hana said.
“Make sure to write to us,” Rowen added.
“Of course,” Hana smiled.
She walked over to Cye who was sitting on the couch, looking at his hands. “Cye?”
“Yeah?” Cye asked, getting up immediately.
“I have something for you.”
“What?”
“This.” Hana held a blue jewel that was in a shape of a tear drop. It was surrounded with gold and was hung on a gold chain. “It’s to remember me by.”
“It’s lovely.” Cye examined the jewel.
“My mother gave it to me when I was little. I want you to hold it for me.”
“I’ll take good care of it.”
“I’m going to miss you.”
“Same here.”
“Wait up for me okay?”
“I will.”
“Hana, your cab is here,” Mia said.
“I’ll help you with your things.” Cye grabbed Hana’s suitcases and led her to the front door.
“See you, Hana,” Ryo said while everyone else waved.
“See you,” Hana smiled and followed Cye out the door.
Hana smiled before shutting the door. Cye glanced at her one more time before the cab drove off down the dirt road. His heart ached, but he knew that she will return to him someday and he will wait until that day comes.
A/N: Well that’s the end of the revised story, Evil Torrent. I will be redoing Melancholy of Flowers, the sequel. There is so much in that story that I need to get rid of and I will be adding a lot more to it. Check my profile for updates on the progress of the story and thank you all for reading.
Departure
Cye slowly opened his eyes and placed a hand to his head. He realized that he was lying in bed; in a dark room. He sat up and looked around. “This is the room where Kento and I sleep when we are at Mia’s,” he said to himself. Cye looked at his alarm clock that was on the night stand beside his bed. “Seven-o-clock at night?” He flung his legs from under the covers and got to his feet; stumbling a little as he walked to the door. He poked his head out into the hallway; it was very quiet. He headed down the hallway to the top of the stairs where he saw Ryo and Mia. They were sitting in the living room talking.
“Cye,” Mia smiled; noticing the wounded warrior as he walked down the steps.
“Hey. How do you feel?” Ryo asked, turning his head to look at his friend.
“Better,” Cye said as he made his way down. “How long have I been out?”
“Almost two weeks,” Mia answered.
&n bsp; “Two weeks?!”
“You were hurt pretty badly,” Ryo exclaimed. “Sage was the one who healed most of your wounds.”
Cye looked at his wrists and saw that the cut marks from that sharp thread were gone. He was a little sore in between the legs, but he guessed that was normal. “Sage got hurt pretty badly himself.” Cye recalled the event where Sage freed him and then collapsed. “Where is everyone?”
“They are all sleeping,” Mia said. “Sage has been out for a couple of days now. He used up most of his energy just to heal you.”

“I’ll make her dinner and go up to her room myself. She has to eat or else she’ll get sick.” Mia and Ryo didn’t say anything or try to argue with him. They just watched as Cye headed into the kitchen for some food.
*****
Cye walked down the hallway with a tray of two bowls of soup, white rice, some rice balls that were in the fridge and two glasses of ice cold water. When Cye reached Hana’s bedroom door, he noticed that it was slightly open. He quietly walked in and saw that she was sitting in front of the bedroom window, looking at the starry sky outside.“Hana?” he said softly.
Hana turned around and got up. “Cye?”
Cye smiled gently and walked up to her. “I brought you some dinner. Mia and Ryo said that you haven’t eaten for a week. Are you feeling okay?”
“I-I’m alright. How are you feeling? Does anything hurt?”
“I’m alright.” Hana turned her back on him and didn’t say anything for a while. Cye didn’t understand why she was acting this way until he saw her shoulders start to shake. He placed the tray of food on the desk and walked behind her, wrapping his arms around her body. He could hear her sobbing and hugged her tighter. “What’s wrong, Hana? Why are you acting this way?”
“I-I’ve caused you… so much pain, to you and your friends,” she cried. “I don’t... deserve to be here.”
“Don’t say that,” Cye said sternly. “You didn’t do anything. It wasn’t your fault.”
“But it was my fault! I’m... such a coward and a weakling... that I couldn’t prevent Akui from… hurting you.”
Cye turned her around so that he was looking directly into her watery blue eyes. “Hana, you are not a weakling or a coward. That’s what I love about you. That you try your hardest and that’s what made me defeat Akui. Your love kept me going and I am grateful for that.”
“Cye…”
He pulled her into him, hugging her gently. “I love you, Hana and I hate seeing you like this. My heart aches for you.”
Tears started to flow from her eyes again and onto his shirt where she buried her face into. “I love you too.”
Cye smiled and rubbed her back, trying to calm her down a bit. “Let’s eat dinner now, okay?” Hana nodded against his chest then pulled away. Cye grabbed the tray and motioned her to the bed.

She took it from him and immediately started eating. Cye couldn’t help but smile as he watched her enjoy her meal. They both ate together, mostly in silence. “Hey, Hana.”

“I don’t believe you,” she said quietly.
Cye kissed her gently and looked at her with passionate eyes. “I want to do this. Do you trust me?”
Hana smiled and nodded. “I trust you.”
“Good,” he said. He reached for his jeans and pulled out a condom from one of the pockets. He slipped it on and then captured her lips fervently.

Cye smiled and looked at her. “Why are you smiling?”
“I’m fine now,” Cye whispered. “I had to do it in one thrust or else the pain would keep coming. I had to get pass the tightness.” Hana just looked at him as if he was going crazy. “It will hurt a bit, but I want to make you feel better, Hana. I want to show you my love for you and that’s why I’m not stopping.”
Hana felt Cye start to thrust inside of her in slow motions. Hana moaned at the feeling that Cye was giving her, even though he was hurting inside. “You’re... nuts...” she struggled to say.

The pain slowly slipped away and Cye’s thrusts got faster and harder. In no time both bodies were covered in sweat and both of them were gasping for air.
“Ah! Cye faster!” Hana cried.
Cye grunted as he pushed himself further into Hana’s debts. He could feel his release coming but tried to postpone it. Cye’s mind was racing as he felt Hana’s walls clamped tightly against him. Hana placed her sweaty palms on his back with her neck extended outward. Cye slammed into her one more time before she let go. She moaned Cye’s name as her body shook uncontrollably.

*****
Cye woke up the next morning with light shining on him. He sat up and yawned then realized that he wasn’t in his room. That’s when he remembered the event that had occurred. The room was empty except for him. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and saw that he was dressed in his pajamas. He got out of bed and headed downstairs.“Everyone must be in the kitchen,” Cye said to himself as he headed down the stairs. When he entered the kitchen, everyone was already eating breakfast.
“Hey, Cye,” greeted Sage.
“Hi,” Cye yawned.
“Tired huh? You should be,” Kento grinned.
“What does that mean?” Cye asked.
“You and Hana were busy last night, huh?” Kento asked slyly.
Cye could feel his cheeks burning up. “W-what makes you say that?”
“Oh please. I woke up in the middle of the night to get something to eat and you weren’t in your bed. I heard noises in Hana’s room.”
No one said anything. Rowen dropped his toast and Ryo stood in front of the fridge with his hand around the handle.
“Did you, Cye?” Sage asked nonchalantly.
“Well…”
“It's okay if you don't want to tell us. It's not our business anyway,” Ryo said as he opened the fridge and took out a grapefruit.
“No, no. Kento's right. We did make love…”
“Knew it,” Kento said proudly.
Rowen slapped Kento over the head. “Kento! I hope you used protection.”
“We did,” Cye said softly.
“Good,” Rowen said.
Cye smiled weakly then looked around the kitchen for Hana.
“Where’s Hana?” Cye asked.
“I saw her head outside right before breakfast,” Sage said.
“Why?”
“I don’t know, but she didn’t look too happy.”
“Where could she have gone?” Ryo asked.
“I think I know,” Cye said and headed out of the kitchen.
*****
Cye ran into the forest and followed the path that he had showed Hana. He passed through the trees and found her standing in front of the waterfall.“Hana?” he asked as he walked toward her.
Hana turned around with tears in her eyes. “Oh! Hi, Cye,” she said softly, wiping the tears with her hand.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I have things that I need to take care of, Cye,” she said as she turned her back on him.
“What kind of things?”
“I need to go see some of my relatives. I have to tell them about my family.”
“They live far, don’t they?”
Hana nodded and then started crying. “I’m sorry…”
“Don’t be sorry. You have to do what you have to do. I’m not mad.”
“But still…”
“Look, you can always come back when you are done.”
Hana looked at Cye. “I can?”
“Of course and I’ll be waiting for your return.”
“Thank you, Cye.” Cye hugged her tightly with tears flowing from his eyes as well.

“Her entire family got destroyed by Akui?” Ryo asked.Cye nodded slowly. The five of them were sitting in the living room. Cye explained Hana’s situation to them.
“She said that it was her duty to inform her relatives about the unfortunate event,” Cye said in a monotone voice.
“I hate the fact that she was dragged into this mess,” Kento said angrily.
“You aren’t the only one,” Rowen said.
“Do you know how long she is going to be gone?” Sage asked.
Cye shook his head. “She said that her family lives in Nagoya.”
“That’s pretty far from here,” Rowen said.
The men snapped out of their stupor when they heard footsteps approaching them. Mia and Hana were walking to the front door. Hana was carrying luggage in her hands.
“So this is goodbye?” Ryo asked.
“No. I’ll be back,” Hana said. “That’s a promise.”
“Good because you are fun to hang around with,” Kento said as he gave Hana a big hug.
“Take care of yourself,” Sage said.
“I will,” Hana said.
“Make sure to write to us,” Rowen added.
“Of course,” Hana smiled.
She walked over to Cye who was sitting on the couch, looking at his hands. “Cye?”
“Yeah?” Cye asked, getting up immediately.
“I have something for you.”
“What?”
“This.” Hana held a blue jewel that was in a shape of a tear drop. It was surrounded with gold and was hung on a gold chain. “It’s to remember me by.”
“It’s lovely.” Cye examined the jewel.
“My mother gave it to me when I was little. I want you to hold it for me.”
“I’ll take good care of it.”
“I’m going to miss you.”
“Same here.”
“Wait up for me okay?”
“I will.”
“Hana, your cab is here,” Mia said.
“I’ll help you with your things.” Cye grabbed Hana’s suitcases and led her to the front door.
“See you, Hana,” Ryo said while everyone else waved.
“See you,” Hana smiled and followed Cye out the door.

The driver took the suitcases from Cye and put them in the trunk of the car. Hana kissed Cye one last time before getting in the cab.Hana smiled before shutting the door. Cye glanced at her one more time before the cab drove off down the dirt road. His heart ached, but he knew that she will return to him someday and he will wait until that day comes.
A/N: Well that’s the end of the revised story, Evil Torrent. I will be redoing Melancholy of Flowers, the sequel. There is so much in that story that I need to get rid of and I will be adding a lot more to it. Check my profile for updates on the progress of the story and thank you all for reading.
