You are lying down on the bed sleeping peacefully with all the rose petals scattered around you as I sat down on the side of the bed so that I will not wake you up. You look peaceful with your eyes closed, not opened for a hundred years. I watch and guard you every day while you lie there sleeping.

"When will you ever wake up, my Nagi-chan?" I asked.

"After a hundred years has passed…" she responded.

"Kufufufu…It has already been a hundred years."

"You are very loud Ibara-kun…I am still sleeping"

"I think someone will come for you soon…Nagi-chan"

For these hundred years I had protected and watched you grow up into a beautiful woman yet you do not see how much it hurts when you do not recognize my feelings for you, how much I love you even until death. I truly wished that no one would come for you but alas I do not have much time left for I am slowly fading away. I want to touch you as I slowly reach out but I cannot because I cannot maintain my power any longer.

"Ibara-kun, do you think that person would wake me up with a kiss?"

"I do not know, Nagi-chan" as I grab her brush and brushed through her purple locks.

"I am worried because it will be my first kiss…should I hold my breath?"

"You are so innocent and cute my little Nagi-chan"

"I am just worried that person might not like me if my lips are dry and ugly"

I could not answer you as I felt this pain in my chest; it seems I had reached my limit, I wish I could properly say goodbye to you, my Nagi-chan before I fade away.

"How long must a person love you before you bestow him your kiss? Three days? A week?"

I slowly lean close to your face watching your lips.

"A hundred years?"

I kiss you with all my feelings one last time as I completely fade away.

"I will always love you even after a hundred years…"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: There you go for the first part hoping that I can have the time again to post the second part which is from the POV of Nagi-chan (Chrome) as the sleeping princess
