Chapter One:

Keitaro looked at the invitation. Had it really been 10 years? It seemed like only yesterday that he said goodbye to everyone at Hinata House and moved out into the world on his own. He hadn't seen or heard from anyone in almost 8 years, not since he saw Kitsune in passing on the subway. He had gotten on the subway when he saw her walking by. He called out her name but she didn't seem to hear or see him and continued on her way. Other than that, it had been a decade. It had been a long time, but he would never forget the day that he left the day Hinata House…that was the day he left the woman he loved behind forever.

It had destroyed him inside when he said goodbye to Naru that last day. Seeing the tears in her eyes, hearing the pain etched in her voice. He turned his back on her and walked away. She probably never forgave him, and he didn't blame her. Shaking his head, he reached for the phone…

Hinata House:

"You did WHAT???" Naru cried.

"I invited him." Shinobu said, "I want him to be here."

"Oh Shinobu, what am I going to do? I can't face him, I can't!"

Shinobu wrapped her arms around Naru's shoulders. She didn't really know what to say. She knew that Naru was going to be upset, but it was still hard. Everyone remembered the day that Keitaro left. He had left them, leaving behind Naru. He broke her heart that day, and it took Naru a while to get over the heartache. She had known that Naru was going to take this badly, all she could do now was be there for her as she got used to the fact that Keitaro was coming back.

"Please excuse me. I'm going to lay down for a while." Naru murmured, standing up slowly.

Turning, she left the room and went to her room. For several minutes she just stood there looking around. She took a deep breath, and then went to the closet. Reaching up to the top shelf, she felt around until she felt the box. She pulled it down and carried it over to her futon. Sitting down, she set it on her lap and lifted of the lid. Memories came flooding back as she sorted through the contents. Oh, how she had missed him. For days she had lain in bed crying. She wouldn't eat, she just lay there staring at the pictures.

She sat there thinking. Had he changed? Would he recognize her? Did he still think about her or miss her? She picked up the picture they had taken at the amusement park. That was the day that changed everything. They had ridden ride after ride. He had won her the teddy bear that sat on her shelf to do this day as a reminder. They had seen the photo booth and decided to duck in and get their picture made. They had laughed until they cried. It wasn't until that night, when they were sitting on the bench, watching the fireworks in the distance, that her life changed.

She looked down at her wedding ring. This was going to be hard…

Konnichiwa Minna-san! I'm so sorry that I haven't written anything new in ages. I've been busy with my music and other things. I've been toying around with this idea for a little while. I hope you like it! Please rate and review! Chapter 2 will be up soon!
