Until we meet Again
A young boy walked out of the darkness and into the light coming from the window. He looked sad, like he had lost something very dear to him. We walked slowly down the walls of a great palace, passing many guards as he went. The guards did not stop him though, instead they bowed to the young man and let him pass.
A young cat girl followed close behind him watching his every move.
'Why are you so sad Lord Van?' she thought to herself, 'It's been over a week now.'
The girl continued to walk behind the boy she called Lord Van. He seemed to be in some kind of trance like he wasn't even on this world. Finally the boy stopped in front a large door and opened it. He entered slowly and shut the door in the face of the young girl.
'I understand Lord Van,' she said to herself before bounding away.
The young lord walked across the room to a window and looked out.
'It's been one long week,' he said to himself, 'And I still haven't gotten over you.'
The boy turned from the scenery and stepped towards the bed but stopped in his tracks. On the bed lay a small box tied nicely with a red ribbon. The boy picked up the box and opened it. Inside laid a small piece of parchment.
'Dear Van,' it read, 'I really don't know what to say. I don't even know if you will get this. You have been such a part of my life for the last few weeks and I am sorry to see it end. I miss you a lot Van. I never thought I would miss you so much, but after I left I noticed how much duller my life is. I wish I could be with you right now but my family needs me. I feel so dumb writing this. I have given up fortune telling, I don't believe in it anymore. I would rather take things as they come. I really miss you Van. I will never forget you, not even when I am old. Please tell everyone goodbye for me and that I will miss them. But most of all I'll miss you. Goodbye Van, but I guess it really isn't goodbye now is it. So instead I will say until I see you again, which I promise I will.
Hitomi
P.S. in the bottom of this box is a picture of me…just so you won't forget me.'
The boy set the parchment down and looked deeper into the box. He pulled out a small picture of the girl he had fallen in love with only a week ago. Slowly he walked it the window and looked out. He stared at the two moons rising over the distant horizon for a while and smiled to himself.
"I miss you too Hitomi," he said softly.
The boy took one last look at the moons and turned away with a new feeling in his heart. Not one of loss or grief, not one of a broken heart, but the feeling of happiness. A feeling he had not felt since the day she left him. The boy lay down on his bed and held the picture to his heart.
"Until we meet again Hitomi," he whispered, "Until we meet again."
And with that the young king fell asleep, dreaming of the day he and Hitomi would meet again.
