A/N: Ummm...yeah. So this felt rushed, but yay! I did it! one more...chapter? -cough- shorter than the last post, but I think its okay for now. Had to rewrite it 3 times...lol. I have to thank Diana for...threaten- I mean...nagging me online all day to hurry up and finish another chapter. Thanks everyone for reading and reviewing. Oh, right. I have plot here. Theres actual plot. So yeah, it'll build soon enough.
Disclaimer: So I dont own the Mai Hime anime...pfft...the animation sucked anyway. I also have to say that the Mai Hime Manga is blasphemy. Tate...is not attractive and Shizuru isn't even a hime in it! mmkay...sorry heres chapter 2.
"Shizuru, you were the first one who came to me when I was unable to trust anyone."
Ara, who are you? How do you know my name?
"But I can't have the feelings that you wish I did."
Were we close? Why can't I see your face?
"Even then, I'm happy that you loved me."
I...loved you? Wait, tell me your name.
"I also love you Shizuru."
--------
"Wait!"
My eyes fluttered open.
It was a dream; the same recurring dream I've had since returning to Kyoto.
My face was flushed and my body was drenched in sweat.
I touched my cheek and felt tears.
I was crying.
-------
Who are you?
Please, I need to know.
Why did you say that you loved me?
My heart throbbed painfully against my chest.
And why do I yearn for you,
When I don't even know who you are?
-------
Even when I tried, I failed to see your features.
For now, your voice is all that haunts me when I wake.
Mysterious beauty, even in a dream you captured my heart.
I clutched my chest and wiped my tear-streaked face.
Whoever you are,
If you still think of me,
I just want you to know,
I still love you.
