A/N: My first KnM fic ^^ I hope I got their personalities right, I apologize if I didn't. Pretty much spoilers from this point on. Anyway, this is a slight AU as in neither girl goes to the shrine on the moon. XD Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own KnM whatsoever. Trust me, if I did, Soma would've gotten shot down in the beginning XD

Dedication: To my love, Kiani-kun. This is a response to the vid she made me and more of a birthday gift for her. I love you, babe!

I close my eyes as music from the piano drifts through the air and sigh happily. Chikane chuckles quietly but says nothing. She lets the piano speak for her; and the music has a lot to say. It says sorry, asks how you could ever forgive me, and says I love you more than you know. I'm not surprised at the message, however. Just a few months ago, she forcefully took my innocence, made me believe that she only wanted my body. She nearly killed Ogami-kun when he tried to protect me and deceived me to fulfill the prophecy.

Even after all that she put me through, however, I still love Chikane. Some may call me crazy for this fact but it stands true. I love the way every move she makes is filled with grace and how every time she smiles, it is like the sun has evaporated and all the light is coming from her. I love the way she holds me close while she sleeps as though I would get up in the middle of the night and walk away from her forever. I love the way she unconsciously tightens her grip on my hand when someone even so much as looks at me the wrong way. But most of all, I love the way she shows her love for me.

In my time of need, she let me into her home and treated me like a close sister. She was there when I was scared and she gave me a shoulder to cry on. She was always there for me, putting me first in her life. I feel so indebted to this wonderful woman but she denies even the idea of such. She tells me that my presence in her life is enough.

Tears form behind my closed eyelids as I think of her. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and even the idea of her leaving me in any way makes my heart break. Her song hits a slight crescendo and I nearly fall off the stool I am sitting on in shock. She giggles as I fight to regain normal breathing and I blush. The sound of her laugh, her voice, is like the ringing of bells.

I smile shyly at her and she returns it warmly, her eyes speaking of endless love. I finally move from the stool that seems so far from her and sit on the piano bench next to her. She smiles down at me before concentrating once again on the music. I close my eyes and lay my head on her shoulder as the music flows through me. It is filled with love but sadness as well. I feel tears form once again at the implications behind the song and I bury my head in her shoulder to fight them off. I fail and she looks down again.

She pauses in the song to wrap an arm around me and to kiss the top of my head. She continues to play, beautifully might I add, with her arm around me and I feel safe. Safe from all the dangers out there that could tear me and her apart. Tears starting to slow on my cheeks, I wrap my arms around her waist and cling tightly. Nothing can take this girl from me, not even death itself.

A/N: Did you like it? Leave a review and let me know about anything that I can improve on…or that you liked it and nothing needs to change, whichever works best. ^^ If it helps at all, the song I was envisioning Chikane playing is Claire de Lune by Debussy. And no, it's not because it was in Twilight. It was more because my friend played it for me recently and I fell in love with it. So yeah, review and show me love XD
