TSURUNE: KAZEMAI KOUKOU KYUUDOUBU YABAI - FUJIWARA NO AI (FUJIWARA'S LOVE)
Kyudo Shuu

Under the moonlight that illuminated the entire city, with irregular breathing, Akane was seen running towards Saionji-sensei's dojo. His steps stopped staring at the figure of Shuu who was in Kai's position. A second later the arrow was released gracefully. 

Akane was glued to the spot. The night wind hit her pretty face. Her sapphire net was widened, amazed by Shuu's tsurune that echoed in the middle of the night. Sounds clear and beautiful like a rain water stub.

"You're late, Akane" said Shuu, breaking Akane's daydreams that were still on the spot.

"Yes!" Sapa Akane smiled. "Sorry Shuu, I had a need just now."

"I understand" Shuu replied with a faint smile.

"Akane? Come in, it's cold" Saionji-sensei said.

"Thank you sensei."

Akane then sat quietly looking at Shuu who was practicing. Her sapphire eyes sparkled, she did not take her eyes off even after Shuu released her arrows. He was only focused, staring in awe at the figure standing before him while elegantly pulling his bow. Shuu Fujiwara.

"Do you like Kyudo Shuu?" Tanya Saionji-sensei sat down next to Akane.

"Sensei," Akane smiled. "Hm, I love it" she replied excitedly.

"What do you like about Kyudo Shuu?" 

"If sensei asks like that, I really like his composure. No matter how bad the situation and condition, Shuu never lost his focus and calmness, I admired him greatly. Shuu also has a good posture. Started taking the horses, pulling the arrows and when releasing them, everything was very elegant. I like it." 

Akane smiled at Saionji-sensei. His gaze was once again turned to Shuu who was preparing to shoot his arrows.

"Even the crescent was clearly conveyed in my ear, very clear and beautiful like a rain water stub. Tsurune typical 'Young Prince'. Although not as warm as tsurune Minato, but I like it" he explained back with sparkling eyes. 

Saionji sensei was speechless at Akane's explanation. A faint smile spread across his face.

"You really like it turns out. Then why not try it? I can teach you."

"I-I'm not sure sensei. I always mess it up."

Akane averted her gaze while smiling awkwardly. As long as he saw and accompanied Shuu and Minato in training, he also tried Kyudo several times and as much as that he caused chaos.

Saionji-sensei smiles. "It's okay, after all, you were very small, so it's only natural that your hand didn't have the strength to hold a heavy bow."

"But.."

"Try Akane first, I'll teach you."

Shuu lowered his bow. He comes to Akane with a friendly face and an unusual smile from Shuu who is cold. A face that is rarely shown to everyone, a face that Akane really likes.

The breeze of the wind that hit, gently swept across the skin, blowing away some of their haircuts. The violet netra was seen shining in the darkness of the night. Shuu leaned over and extended his hand.

"Come on."

...****...

"Put your shoulders, focus on the target and. release."

Shuu teaches Akane in a highly ordered and easy-to-understand way so Akane can follow him.

"Aarrrghhh!!! Sorry Shuu, I messed it up again." 

Akane looks frustrated. This is the third time he's messed it up. All of the arrows he released none of them hit the target and instead swooped sharply into the grass.

"It seems like your pull is less strong" Saionji-sensei said as he approached Akane and Shuu. "Your position until the hikiwake is good enough, only the bottom half is less balanced and your shoulders are too stiff. You should practice improving your arm muscles, and practice maintaining balance, Akane."

"Your arrows are too high" Shuu said.

"That's right. Put the arrows lower than your mouth" Saionji-sensei said.

"I understand sensei, Shuu. Please once again," Akane's pinta meant it.

"Hm, we're starting from the beginning."

"Aarghhhh! I'm so pissed off. Though Shuu and sensei have taught me but still no arrows are stuck on the target" Akane grumbled.

"Even though Shuu is an ace in this prefecture, it doesn't mean he can shoot right at the target the first time he tries it. His first shot was even worse than you" Saionji-sensei smiled.

"Sensei's right."

"Sensei's right. You just need to practice a lot, Akane" Shuu said. 

"All right, I understand. Thank you sensei, Shuu. I'm going to improve my arm muscles and fix all my mistakes" Akane smiled.

"I'll show you my best Kyudo" Akane smiled at Shuu. The sapphire netra glittered under the moonlight. He started to get excited about Kyudo.

"I'm waiting for him" Shuu smiled at Akane's words. Akane always wanted to be able to stick an arrow at the target, but reality always disappointed her.

"Thank you Shuu, sensei. I think my training is enough to get here. Sorry for making you lose so much time, Shuu. I'll just watch from there" Akane smiled. He pointed to the usual place he was watching Shuu.

"Why? I can still teach you" Shuu asked confusedly.

"It's getting late but I'm taking your practice time in vain. I'll just watch Shuu" Akane said with a smile.

"You sure?"

"Relatedly" Akane replied smiling.

"Alright if it's like that, I understand" Shuu replied then taking over the bow in Akane's hands. He refocused on his own training.

Shuu and Akane spent part of the night training at Saionji-sensei's dojo. Shuu continues to train to improve his Kyudonya and Akane who is excited to see his favorite scenery.

...****...

"Otsukare Shuu, you've always been great" Akane said with a smile.

"That's an exaggeration, Akane" Shuu replied with a calm face as usual.

"You two, be careful on the road" Saionji-sensei said.

"Good."

"Your face is rigid Shuu, what are you thinking?"

Shuu did not answer Akane's question. His violet netra could not be separated from the street before him.

"What about love again?" Akane tried to guess, because a few days ago they were talking about love.

"I've been looking for a lot of information about love but I haven't been able to find it" she explained without taking her eyes off.

"Everything needs a process, right? Slow down Shuu" Akane smiled.

"I know."

A faint smile expands on Akane's pretty face. He then slapped Shuu's back.

"Like not Shuu alone. I'm sure everything's gonna be okay. Everything will be fine, because you are Shuu" he said with a sweet smile. In that instant, Netra violet Shuu stared at Akane. A faint smile expanded on Shuu's calm face.

"Is that so?"

"Hm. Since you are Shuu, I'm sure everything will be fine."

Shuu starts to regain his composure from his thoughts about love which is quite disturbing and makes him a little upset. His brain worked hard enough just to think about it. 

"You've got Akane, thank you" Shuu smiled.

"Don't mind." Akane said with a smile.
