Wishing on a blood red moon
Chapter One
Saya tossed and turned in her sleep, her blankets twisted and tangled around her legs. Heat overtook her body and she found herself crying out as her mind stayed in her nightmare. Fire was everywhere bodies of humans along with chiropterans strewed upon the burning ground. Saya was on top of the pile of bodies holding her katana looking like she did the first time she had her dream. She scanned the faces of the bodies looking for someone but not knowing who that someone was. Spiky orange hair made Saya stop on one of the dead bodies. She grabbed the corpse by the hair and yanked it out of the pile. Kai's dead face stared back at her. Half of his face melted away by the fire. "NOOOOOO!" Saya screamed, throwing herself upwards. Heavily breathing she scanned her surroundings, finding she was in her room, with sunlight streaming in through her window. "A dream." She said. Hugging her knees to her chest, the memories of her dreams making her shiver. "Kai….." She whispered, feeling the words roll off her tongue and into existence. A sharp crash from down stairs made her jump and that's when she realized how silly it was to be caught up over a little dream. After all the chiropterans had all been exterminated and the all the people who had made them executed. All the information on the chiropterans burned. Everything was safe……but she couldn't get rid of the feeling that they had missed something. Something really important. "Saya!" Kai's manly voice floated through her closed door. Saya immediately jumped up not realizing that she was tangled in her blankets. She fell with a Bam onto the wooden floor just as Kai came in. The two stared at each other as they both decided what to say. Kai burst into laughter, seeing Saya sprawled on the floor with a big red dot on her face was too much for him. He held his stomach as more laughter threatened to over take him. Saya pouting tried to right herself so Kai would stop laughing at her. However she only succeeded in tangling herself even more in the sea of blankets, which set Kai in even harder fit of laughter. Saya exasperated yelled "Kai it's not funny, help me!" Kai laughing bent down next to Saya, slowly lifting her leg and carefully unwrapping one blanket corner after blanket corner. Saya could feel her face get really hot as Kai went down to her thigh then lower. "Okay Kai I'm untangled now!" She exclaimed before he could go even lower. She jumped up and ran out into the hallway slamming the door behind her. She slid to the ground her back against the hard wooden door, her face as red as an apple. "Kai…."She whispered, over and over again. Her face brightening in color each time she said his name. On the other side of the door Kai was staring at the blankets strayed across the room in Saya's hasty departure. He picked one blanket up and inspected it as if he expected to see Saya in the threads of the blanket. He sighed and put the blanket down scooting up against the door. "Saya, Saya, Saya." He chanted, as if he was saying a love spell, to capture the one he loved. Without either one of them knowing their voice united, forming one whole voice. A wish unspoken.
