Secrets of the heart
by Yuffie-Girl

I don't know... was it him, or just me?
Was it just I to have that fluttering emotion that was sealed within me whenever i see him?
Was it just I to feel that sweet sensations whenever he called out my name? Was it... just me?
Prince, he called himself. A prince, he was, dashing as could be, fell onto his knees when i'm in misery...
A prince, he called himself, as he rescues me from the most difficult situations.
Situations... whenever they come tumbling down onto me, he would be there. No... he WILL be there.
What is that again, that powerful sensation that set my senses on fire? It's not blazing roughly... but... crinkling away silently, rhythmically with my heartbeats.
What is that? I've yet to decipher it...
I don't know what's his hidden message whenever he's near me. Mirthful always, he often caught me unguarded.
I know how vulnerable i am in that situation. But...
Why... why did i place my total trust onto that stranger i happen to meet while venturing into the castle? We hardly know each other... yet, i can detect the strange warmness within his eyes...
Oh, how beautiful were they! They glimmer with the softest lights, gazing into mine...
Yet, he is an enemy.
He chose a different path from mine. Even our madagou had twisted a different fate. The Fuujin and the Raijin... The by-product of the good and evil makers...
Yet... why?
"Indeed, your prince is here to save you..."
That's what he said when he rescued me from that trap. Why, indeed? When he fully knows that i am his enemy?
Am i just being over-sensitive... or is it really true, that there's something glittering in his enchanting eyes? Glitter of admiration? Heck, i must overly sensitive, it must be.
Why would anyone look up to me? I'm just... weird. All i attract is a group of weirdos. Mental people.
Whenever i look at myself in the mirror, i can't help thinking... am i... really that unpopular? Ugly even?
What a great difference from Yanagi. So sweet, so graceful, so... beautiful. I'm captured by her innocent giggle, her wondrous smile. Even that ice cold Mi-chan can be shaken. So...
What am i?
What am i to him?
Surely he could be with some better girl... than me! I'm just wrecking the whole concept of the definition of 'girl', and even sometimes, how i wish i could follow Yanagi's demeanor.
Tomboy, male-like, ugly... I've heard them all.
Still,
"I'm your Prince."
Why, tell me.
Is he always being goofy? Or is it just his pretendence? He really like to pretend... a toothy grin that leaves so threatening signs of danger. Yet...
"Close your eyes, Fuuko. I don't wish you to see this..."
I sense your evil aura, Raiha.
I could feel the ruthless being within you when you slaughtered that cauldron idiot.
I could envisage the steel like gaze in your eyes. The enchanting eyes had turned savage, Raiha. With a slick movement, i heard the swish of your katana slashing the mass of body, with the smell of blood ringing into my nose. You thought i didn't know...
He is truly an enigma. Was it intentional when he disguised as a fortune-teller to discourage me from facing the ultimate devil--- Mori Kouran?
Why, Raiha, why?
Is it because you wanted that scum to reign the Earth? Or is it... you don't want me to be hurt?
To die?
It could be my wild imagination though.
I don't know, i just got that last thought whenever i caught a glimpse of your eyes when we started dueling.
It seems that... you are training me up. To be ready. To be prepared... so i won't die...
That last sentence is just a wild guess.
Sometimes, he really sets me off thinking.
Who are you, truly?
What is the real intention in your heart? To spy on me...?
"How heartless of you... all i want is to be with you!"
Raiha...
