****Chapter 7***

We left the mansion and just walked. It was quiet for a long time, but I needed to talk so I knew exactly where to go. We went into the park and then deep into the woods.

"Is this the part where you kill me?" Kei said jokingly.

"No just come on...trust me" I said

"Always" Kei whispered. I decided not to say anything I just blushed and kept moving. We came to a section of the woods where it was just a wall of vines I found the part that pulled the vines apart and lead him through a tunnel behind it we walked till we came to the end of the cave with more vines.

"Ok close your eyes please." I said with a smile

"Why would I do that?" he said acting stupid.

"Just do it" I said getting a bit anxious.

He quietly laughed and did as I asked. When I was sure he wasn't looking I led him past the curtain of vines which led to a beautiful site beyond your imagination. It was a medium sized lake that shined like diamonds with a garden surrounding it with roses and lilies and so many more. There was a large grass cliff that went a little over the lake. And all around it was a large circle of trees. There in the opposite corner of the lake was a giant willow tree. When Kei finally opened his eyes they almost fell out of his sockets because of how amazed he was. I took his hand and walked him to the willow tree and we both sat down.

***SA***

"Hikari how on earth did you find this place?" he asked still amazed

"Well actually the day after I moved here I got so upset again like I had been doing since I got here and I ran out of my apartment and after an hour of running I ran into this place and I've been coming here ever since."

"Hikari...I'm so sorry I promise Yahiro will never hurt you again, please I can't bear the thought of not being near you again...come back to SA" he said small tears falling from his soft cheeks.

"I'm so sorry for hurting you all...I missed you every day I only hoped you would find me one day...I..I..." I got up and embraced him and buried my face in his chest and just let the water fall of tears stream down my face. I was so happy to be with him again and I was so happy to go home.

"Shhh...Shhh its ok Hikari...No one will hurt or make you do anything ever again...everything will be fine." Kei said stroking my hair gently and tightening in the embrace. I felt so happy to breathe at that moment.

****Kei****

I couldn't have been happier I was with the one person I cherished the most in my heart. I continued to stroke her beautiful long raven black hair and tell her everything was ok. I knew for a fact it would be no matter what Yahiro said nothing n this world will separate me from Hikari nothing. I finally noticed she stopped crying and I lifted her up so she was facing me because I wanted to give her something.

"Hikari look!" I said pointing to the sun setting around the circle of trees. Its glare shining on the lake was dazzling. Hikari looked up and her eyes widened she must have thought it was the most beautiful setting in the world. I then reached into my pocket and pulled out a rectangular shaped box.

"Hikari I want you to have this." she turned to me and her eyebrow went up questioning the box, but she took it and opened it. Several minutes later after her just staring at it small tears filled her eyes and she picked it up out of the box. It was a copy of the exact same locket she gave me when she left. I vowed whenever I saw her again I would give it to her.

"Hikari I hate you, I love you, and I can't live without you. You are the light in my life and the key to my heart... and I will never forget it." I said taking the locket and outing it around her neck.

"Kei I love you too!" she said. I then slowly leaned in and did what I had wanted to for so long I kissed her. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I wanted to protect her and that was exactly what I was going to do. Because you see people make many mistakes they regret in life, but when it comes to love you will get a second chance.
