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.
