I've only recently watched Neko no Ongaeshi and I immediately fell inlove with it! I don't know why but I found it very romantic. I guess at some point,I still want to be swept off my feet like that. And the Baron was so... romantic! And I really think that Baron and Haru should be together. So here I am, writing a fanfic. Please don't be so mad. I'm utterly inlove with that movie! Now, onto the Fic. Please tell me what you think about it. Thank you.

"With My Love"

In her sleep she twists and turns. Her face is flushed and she is beautiful, pale complexion, paler still in the moonlight. She is like an angel or maybe a goddess, descent to these mortal realms, to haunt men. She is perfection. And I could do nothing but watch as she sleeps.

Since her rescue from the Cat kingdom, I've always come to visit her at night when she does not know. At first it was because I thought maybe someone may come back to harm her. But then, I knew that was not really the case. I wanted to see her. And this was the only way I know how to. I watch her as she sleeps. I listen to her breathing and watch her chest rise and fall as she breaths. I do not know why I watch her but I want to keep her safe. She has become my drug, my addiction. She is my love.

She is restless in her sleep, as if being chased by nightmares unknown to anyone but her. I may not see them, her nightmares; I may not know what they are. But, I want to comfort her, take her in my arms and love her for all that she is.

In her sleep, she moans and I could not help myself, drinking that sight of her. She moans a word or maybe a name, but I could not hear despite my cat ears. Could she be dreaming of her love? That man called Machida? I feel a tinge of jealousy in my heart for her heart belonged to another and not to me. And if it did belonged to me, what of it? There is no hope for us.

She is human, and I am not even real. Yet whenever, I see her, I always wished that I was. So then, maybe she would love me.

I stand up to leave but a whisper caught my ear and I turn to her.

"Baron…" She whispered, though she sleeps. "Baron…don't leave me…"

I sit back down on her bed and placed a hand on her smooth pale cheeks. Even if this was all a dream to her. Even if this may not be what I wished it would be, I will stay for a while to comfort her.

"Sleep, my darling…" I whisper to her, tenderly. "Sleep. Know that I love you…"

Her restless turning stops and she quiets down. Before the dawn comes, before she wakes, I would've disappeared. But I leave with her my love.
