13 Chapter Thirteen

Masamune moved in front of her, cupping both her smooth colourless cheeks. Kagura's usually emotionless eyes held complex emotions, confusion and sadness.

He planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, he did not want to see her troubled, if she did not want to, he would not force her. He would just find another.

He felt disheartened. He feared the idea of her hating him more than her being taken away from him (dead).

Although he was happy she talked to him. The fact that she was willing to tell him so much meant she trusted him.

Kagura buried her head into his chest, her movements stirring his heart rapidly. After giving it some thought she told him she would only give the pendant if she deemed the new owner worthy.

Masamune shook his head asking if she was really okay with parting with it. "If this can extend my life, I could spend more time with you. Perhaps you do not want to?" Kagura raised her head to look at him appearing like a cute newborn kitten.

Masamune was moved by her words and his face heated. "Want, want" he repeated.

Don't say such things with a straight face! His previously depressed mood lifted immediately as he hugged his wife's head in his embrace to hide his own embarrassment.

Kagura slept soundly in his arms and woke up dazed. She wore a simple gown outlining her alluring figure sitting up on the bed with closed eyes.

Masamune laughed brightly, Kagura raised her arms like a child wanting to be waited on, he helped her change into a light moss green dress.

He skilfully arranged her hair into a bun with a jade jasper hairpin. Some loose strands coiled around her small fair face, making her appear as a lazy beauty. When the Immortal doctor was informed that he found the pendant he was impatient.

Kagura walked beside Masamune, who grasped her smaller irregularly cold hand. When the elder felt the presence of the demon from days ago he impatiently got up to his feet.

The elders sight stopped on the otherworldly beauty, it wasn't her appearance that shocked him rather it was the uncanny resemblance to his deceased daughter!

Kagura looked at the elder with a complex gaze. She freed her hand from Masamune, taking the pendant from her neck and took the elders hand placing the cool jade in his hands. "You must take care of this jade, It's very important to me-" Kagura spoke in a solemn tone.

The elder shook his head and grasped both her hands with reddened eyes. "No, You keep it. Do not worry, this elder will definitely help you" Kagura was a little shocked at his kindness towards her.

A small smile formed on her cherry like lips "Thank you" she had her head bowed sincerely.

Masamune stood on the side with three black lines on his forehead, this elders attitude took a 180 degree change and was acting overly familiar with his wife! However seeing the relief clear in her shoulders moving he could not do anything.
