"You know... Michio won't hateyou if you leave. He'll be sad yes but he'll forgive you," he mutters eyes going soft. He didn't want to see the girl in pain because of his master.
Jiji freezes before jumping of the counter and going to her room pawing at her door. "Kieara, I was only stating facts. Michio doesn't want you stay her because he asked you to but because you want to."
Michio finally woke up later that morning, he stood up and went to see what everyone was doing. After searching the house he finally went to Kieara's door surprised to see Jiji in front of it. He knocks softly, "Kieara, it's Michio."
"Princess," Michio whispers tilting her head up towards his, "there's no reason to cry. You won't replace her, but I don't want you to. I want you to be you, nothing more, nothing less." He leans closer lips almost touching hers.
Michio closes the distance between their lips and kisses her. It wasn't a lovely or passionate kiss but it was sweet and soft as if he was trying to say I love you but could only mange an I care.
Kieara couldn't help but melt into the kiss. She suddenly jerked and cried out in pain as runes appeared on her hands and arms. Then they lifted off and disappeared. He'd broken her curse. It took a kiss from someone who loved her to break it. His heart may not have been in him, but it still loved her.
