Hello reader and welcome to my first short story for the "My true identity universe. This little story takes a look at everyday life for Hitomi in the village, and in depths look into Daichi and Hitomi's relationship. I'll also say that these short stories will probably be popping up a lot with as the trilogy gets deeper into the plot, but for now please enjoy this short story and don't be afraid to review.


Moonlit Night

It was a peaceful night in the village where Hitomi and Daichi lived. Everyone was safely in their home resting up for the next busy day. However not everyone in this village was asleep in their beds as the story takes place at the headman's house. Daichi was sitting up in his bed looking outat the crescent moon in the sky. It had been two years since the incident that involved Daichi almost being killed by Hitomi. Since that day people had started to become more concerned about Hoshi-sama's dealing with thehanyo girl. Some of the guards didn't approve of leaving Hitomi alive and suggested that she be executed immediately, but his father time and time again would turn down the guards protest. He said that it was dishonorable to kill an innocent child and would not stand forsuch anactions. However his father didn't overlook the incident that involved the killing of the monk sent to execute Hitomi. It had been two weeks since the incident and following the next day after his death. The monk that was sent to kill Hitomi was given a proper burial service by the village priest. Daichi let out a frustrated sigh as he looks at the moon high in the sky. Once again today Hitomi had proven the difference in power between him and her. It would seem that no matter how much he trained or how clever he was. It would seem that he would never be able to out smart the hanyo girl. Getting into his kosode Daichi leave the comfort of his room to go for a midnight stroll.

The moon's light shine brightly on Daichi as he wonders the lonely path of the village that he lives in. To think that some day when his father died he would own the village and everything in it. All the people in the village showed Daichi respected as if he was an important adult. While the boys admired him for his skills with a bow, and the girl famished over his now developing good looks. To anyone it would seem that he had a perfect life, but to him all of it meant nothing. Daichi himself had nodesire of taking over his dad job, but instead his ambitions were directed towards the thrill of adventure and travel. However he knew in his heart he would never be able to do that since he had a load of responsibility to fulfill to the village when he was adult. Walking near a certain clearing Daichi looks into it to see a lone figure sitting on a rock. The small child form was looking up at the moon her eyes captivated byits radiant glow. It wasthe one person that Daichi hated the most and the one person he secretly envied. Hitomi noticing the feeling of someone watching her and looking into the woods could see the obscured form of Daichi watching her. Letting a peaceful smile glide over her lips Hitomi taps on the vacant space on the boulder next to her. Daichi gives the girl a menacing stare trying his best to intimate her but to no avail. The girl gives him a curious smile and after a while Daichi enters the clearing sitting next to Hitomi on the boulder.

"It a beautiful night isn't it Daichi." asks Hitomi as she looks at the stars in the night sky with wonder.

"Humph I suppose it a pretty night." retorts Daichi as he too looks up at the night sky wondering about his future.

"Daichi why do you hate me so much?" asks Hitomi as she secretly yearns for Daichi's friendship and because of it she always restrains herself from hurt Daichi when he attacks her.

"Don't ask such foolish questions! You know why I hate you so much!" yells Daichi while never taking his gaze of the night sky.

"If it about what happened two years ago… When I almost killed you then I apologize for it. I wasn't thinking properly when I attacked you. To be honest I really want to be friends with you Daichi so can't we put the past behind us." explains Hitomi looking into Daichi's brown eyes for an answer.

"Idiot there no way in hell I'm ever going to forgive you for that incident. On that day I lost my self pride and until I'm able to surpass you I'll never stop coming after you can count on it." answers Daichi as he looked into Hitomi sad eyes.

"So we can never be friends huh Daichi…" spoke Hitomi in a hurt voice as she really felt that Daichi would be the only one to understand her.

"We'll alway be enemy and that all there is to it. Just you wait one day I'm going to succeed in killing you." replies Daichi as he looks at Hitomi with determination in his eyes. Hitomi just smile at Daichi face as she takes one of his hands in her own.

"Well I guess time will tell won't it Daichi." counters Hitomi with Daichi snatching his hand away from her.

"Heh just make sure no else kills you before I do ok?" utters Daichi looking into Hitomi's shinning eyes.

"Ok but can you grant me one last request?" asks Hitomi in a low voice her eyes hidden by her onyx colored hair hiding her eyes.

"What is it?" replies Daichi as he looks at her wondering what her request could be.

"Can we be friends just for tonight?" says Hitomi looking at Daichi for his reply.

"Humph yeah we can be friends just for tonight. Father always says it honorable to knowledge an enemies last request before their death." explains Daichi letting out asigh while looking up at the night sky.

"Thank you…" whispers Hitomi as she rest her head in the comfort of Daichi's chest.

Daichi looking at his small enemyan wraps hisarm around her shoulders holding her close to him. Maybe in the end he didn't hate Hitomi as much as he tried to make it seem in his mind, but just for tonight he would grant the girl's wish and be a friend to her just for this one time.


That it for this short story. Please review and tell me how I did and request more if you want more. Whether this is a fluff between Daichi and Hitomi I leave it to you to decide. However I will say that Daichi does has a major rule throughout this trilogy so keep reading. Thanks for reading this oneshot and have a wonderful day.
