In Love With The Enemy Behind The Gates

Chapter 9

Furukawas POV :

" We are arriving sir" Yuuto announced. It was a small island nation that we are to conquer soon. I felt at ease considering we are in the middle of a war but I dont know what caused me to take this route but i guess we'll see what happens when we get there.

"Everyone start unloading the boat. We'll take shelter here." As my crew unloaded the boat I assigned some soldiers to do a thorough perimeter search around the island.

I was counting some supplies and i heard a gun go off. I rushed off to the lagoon and found two of my soldiers holding a girl at gun point. There was another that was on the ground probably dead. The other was crying over her and refused to move.

I walked over and I saw her. She was beautiful, It was as if i was starstruck. she was the most beautiful person ever. Her long black hair flowing as the wind blew. Her porcelain skin. Her slim figure.

She was the definition of beauty. I quickly recovered and asked her 

"What is your name?" She looked up and i was holding a tray of food and water canteen. I wasn't even suppose to give her anything to eat or drink but I'll allow it just this once

" Zenna" I stared at her but since i didn't wanna come off creepy i looked down at the tray I was holding.

"My name is admiral Furukawa, Atshushi Furukawa. why were you lurking around our camp site?"

" I wasn't! this is my grandfathers island. I often come here to clear my head and that's when my friend Marcella and I noticed the boats on shore" Oh so this is a family owned island. meaning that her parents will eventually come looking for her. I cant let that happen.

" What is your business here? to spy on the enemy? or to attack us unexpectedly?" Hmm feisty. she's a force to be reckoned with

I laughed " You're pretty brave to be asking those questions for a lady, normally I figured you would be too scared to open your pretty little mouth"

" Why would I be afraid of you? Are you going to kill me like you did my friend over there? leave my lifeless body as you did hers? Go ahead I'm not afraid to die." I was starting to get annoyed by this girl. She's so complicated, always has something to say.

" You're pretty confident, and what makes you think I wouldn't kill you? actually that might be just what I'll do" I then ordered one of my soldiers something in Japanese and looked back at her" Are you sure you don't want to beg for your life?"

" I'd rather die than to beg in front a pathetic fool" I pulled out my knife and pressed it against her neck. She gasped and she was shaking. she had her eyes closed waiting for the feel of the sharp blade to pierce through her flesh, I then retrieved my knife back she then opened her stunning brown eyes

" Why didn't you kill me?"

" Because I have a proposition for you?"

" What are you on about? What proposition are you talking about?" she seemed to be getting annoyed by my antics, that's the reaction I wanted

" I'll let you go unharmed if you agree to whatever I have to offer" I suddenly thought of the most ridiculous offer that popped into my mind

"What is it?" hmm curious are we?

"Be My Wife." Ah furukawa you i***t!

"Never!" I figured but I felt determined to change her mind.

"Okay its your choice, I guess you can kiss your freedom and your family goodbye then" I threatened

"Wait! what do you mean my family? please don't hurt them" I honestly dont know where I was headed with this threat but I was already too far into it cant really take it back

" Well then my dear, do we have a deal?" I can see tears fall and how I wished I could wipe them away and embrace her but she is the enemy. I dont know what it is about this girl that I feel the need to protect and I already know she will be the death of me someday. is it worth it?

"Deal" Well s**t.

==========================

(still Furukawas POV)

I buried my fellow soldier who decided he wanted to "have his way" with Zena a couple nights ago. I then took Marcella's body and gave her a proper burial. 

I was still furious. I hated hearing her cry every time I passed her tent. I hated the idea that she might not be able to see her family again because of this war.

i have only known this girl for a couple of days and yet she cant manage to make me feel different. 

I walked into her tent, I Have to treat her like a prisoner, I can't show her any mercy, I have to do what I have to do. My stomach churned at the Thought But It was the only way to show the other soldiers that I'm not neglecting my position for some girl.

I walked in and there she was sitting and sketching away. She looked stunning even though her eyes were puffed up and red from crying.

" I would appreciate it if you didn't stare me down so creepily "  Smooth dumbass, way to be subtle.  i cleared my throat so my voice doesn't crack.

" What happened on the beach a couple nights ago, I'll apologize on behalf of my fellow solider" She looked as if i was suppose to say something offensive but instead she seemed pretty surprised.  I noticed some other soldiers were lingering outside as if they were trying to eavesdrop in our conversation. Well i guess i have to put on a show.

i noticed that she had a tray of food, Daichi was most likely the one who brought it. All right I knew the plan and I guess its time to take action.

"Who gave you food?!" I saw her flinch as I picked her up by her shirt. The look on her face was engraved in my memory and i hated that look.

" I dont know, i didn't see how he looked like " she stuttered  

" Who entered your tent?!" She was shaking with fear at this point but i couldn't bring myself to stop. I am doing this because Its an order.  

I threw her on the floor, she let out a painful cry and she started crawling away. step by step my stomach was churning from the Disgusting  behavior i was showing, I cornered her at the edge of her tent where her beddings were.  i held her down, she was struggling by the grip i had was too strong for her. 

I stopped immediately when i heard her faint cries. Her tears flowed so heavily on her beautiful face. It pained me so much that i had brought nothing but misery in her life . I couldn't bear the thought that I just emotionally scarred her for life. but I was now convinced that she will never look at me the same again. 

My heart beating so hard in my chest i felt like i was suffocating, My stomach was churning causing me get nauseous. I found a blanket and I covered her body, She was shaking and I being the monster that i am left her tent. 

i walked out of her tent. i saw some soldiers stop and stare. Daichi looked heartbroken, and well Yuuto couldn't be more pleased with the way i handled things. The rest of the soldiers had mixed emotions. Majority of these men were older but they also had wives and kids. 

I walked towards the lagoon and calmed myself down. a couple of tears dropped and I quickly brushed them away. not wanting anyone to see it. 

I dont know how long I've sat near the lagoon. This island was beautiful, This isn't like japan at all. Here you look like you could do whatever you want, say whatever you want and still no punishment. so shame brought upon the family name. Freedom. To be able to see such beauty in the world, i know that if i dont make it in this war. I have seen everything.

i heard my name being called, i turned around to see Daichi running towards me. I got up and grabbed my gun in case i had to fight.

Daichi reached me and i looked behind  him and found nobody,

"What is it?"  

" Zenna? she walking towards the water!"

i looked and found her  walking towards the water. what is she doing? then it hit me . oh no, 

"ZENNA!"
