Author's note: Now here is Kaoru's Point of view

Chapter 2: Shinta

As I ran to meet my husband

I stretched my hand to hold him close

To welcome him home where he belongs

There I saw him in my lap

Looked at me and closed his eyes

He smiled with satisfaction

Here I am with the man I love

I waited for this moment for too long

No, I've been longing for him

Finally his wanderings were over

Nothing will come between us

Finally his scar that bears all his pain is gone

His suffering can end

I will always love him forever

Goodnight…Shinta

I love you

I love you Shinta
