CoA opening notes: This is my 2nd tribute to my favorite pairing even though they are were not really meant to be in the series of Rurouni Kenshin. Anyway this is another work of my imaginative mind, I just got inspired recently and the result is this fic. I hope you enjoy this. (I'll keep my fingers crossed ^ ^)

Prologue: Winter Dream

Her hands where tied to his. They were moving not so fast but just the normal speed. He followed her steps smoothly and had a mysterious smile on his face. She on the other hand felt happy but she doesn't know why. The man in front of her isn't the man she loves, he is different, his face, his movements all different. The blades on their feet kept it's contact on the freezing surface below as the two glided along the slippery surface. The cold wind that encompasses the stadium was apparently all inside the court.

The crowd cheered for the two as they danced through the ice. He let her first gain momentum and then lifted her up to perform the move. After that he made a 360 spin and held her hand again. She was feeling very great and her spirits were up high. Then after executing all of their moves and dance they finished it with pose which they faced each and hands interlocked with each other. The music has finally stopped. The crowd stood up to clap their hands for the performance they have seen.

As for the two, he was looking straight to her eyes, and she to his. Then he smiles while closing his eyes. She was still catching her breath but she also smiled. But then the lights in the stadium went out, and the ground they were standing on was not anymore pure ice but stained with blood. Her partner was no longer in facing him but facing another man. This man had a gun in his hand and was pointing at her partner. "No!!!," she screamed but the bullet had also been fired straight at her partner's heart.

She caught her partner and placed him in her arms. He was still smiling, but his life was slowly fading. "I'm happy……to die for you..,". After that the man who shot her partner was already pointing the gun at her. She stood right there but didn't know what to do. After a few seconds the sound of a bullet pierced her ears.

But when she opened her eyes, all that she saw was her room's fluorescent lamp. The man and her mysterious partner has disappeared, the stadium, the crowds and there were no bullet wounds. She placed her hand on her aching head. The sun wasn't up yet but the skies were already visible. She stood from her bed and fixed, opened the windows and let the cool morning breeze enter her stuff-toy filled room. She did her morning routine, eat breakfast, take a shower dress up and then go to school.

"I have been dreaming that scene for almost 4 days…what could it possibly mean?" She said to herself as she slowly walked the sidewalks going to her school. She wasn't looking to where she was going, her mind was on a different world but her daydreaming was suddenly stopped when she heard her name being called at the back. "MISAO!!! Wait up!!!!" A girl, wearing also her school's uniform was running towards her position. "Huff…Huff…wheeze, ..girl you always leave me behind," The girl protested. "Gomen, I was just thinking….deeply…," She replied. "…oh boy it's about that dream again right..," "Yeah, it's been bugging for 4 days Kaoru I don't know what to do,"

"Well don't mind it it's just a dream, a dream is a dream, so snap out of it! Let's go we will be late for the first subject!!," Kaoru said as she grabbed her friend's hand. The bell of their school has rang and they both arrived just in time. "It's the start of a brand new day, better snap out of that dream and return to my normal self, well alright Misao Makimachi It's time to go!,"

CoA's Notes: Well that's the prologue, I'll just be posting the first chapter maybe after Christmas. Anyway, it's early in the morning and I have to rest. Please tell what you think of the prologue, I know it's not much but it'll be better the next chapters.
