Hmm...another cahpter, this time it took longer to write(sorry)...maybe it's because I was working on another chapter for another fic and writing a new fic about D.N. Angel...Please enjoy and review. I own Tsuki and Tenpi, thats all. Now this is cleared up I think the next chapter or the one after it will be the end. Maybe...I'm not sure. I think I'm going to switch the name of this fic and there will be another series after this...heh...3! Haha...please remember to review!
Chapter 10 – Feelings
It was horrible for me…nya! Ren was going to this outdoor education trip for three days… Sad it was for me…since this was one of those times I felt I needed him most…especially with the memories of my brother…how he was back then…
"I'm going to miss ya lots" I hugged Ren that lunch. His outdoor ed. Class and the other Outdoor ed. Classes were going into the bus.
"Aww…now you're making me wanna stay by your side…I'm really going to miss you too…" Ren kissed me on the cheek and we said goodbye. I waved goodbye to him and smiled…he would enjoy himself and I felt happy for him. He would love the outdoor ed. trip!
"Nyaaaaa," I stretched lazily, it was Saturday morning…Ren would be back on Monday. Without him here I felt rather bored.
"Uhn, bored?" Hao sat below me on the floor. I was hogging the whole couch. He patted my head, that still sent shivers up my spine…damn…
"Heck ya!" I replied in a bored tone. I sighed.
"Don't be so depressed, your making me feel sad…" Hao said. I stared at his face. There was a smile on it…
"You don't look sad to me!!!" my eyebrow twitched.
"True, true."
"What's wrong?" Hao asked me after awhile.
"I-it hurts…" I clutched the area of clothing above my heart, "It h-hurts real bad…"
"Your heart…" Hao was looking at me and I avoided looking into his eyes…I didn't want him to see how weak I really was. "It hurts? You must really miss Ren…or…"
I whispered, "I know you could sense it a little…even before Ren went on that trip…you could tell something was wrong…you and Ren both can sense it no matter how well I cover and hide it…you both just…know…" I leaned back in my seat; my heart thumping…it hurt every time. "I-it isn't Ren…I know he'll come back soon…he's never leave me without telling me anyway…it's…Tenpi."
"Your brother?" Hao softly said, "What…what about him?"
"When I sealed him in…it was like killing a part of me. Tenpi…used to be different. When we were small he asked me…"
Flashback begins
"Tsuki…what do you want to be when you grow up?" Tenpi asked me, we were but very young.
I thought for a while and my brother waited, holding my hand patiently. He was like that; he knew when I needed time to think. Always…he knew. We were twins and in our clan there were many unfortunate prophecies about twins. The most believed one was said that one of the twins inherited all the good while the other was pure evil. I didn't believe that and either did Tenpi. I stared off in the distant and I knew it from the bottom of my heart I knew what I wanted to be.
"I want to be the moon…"
"The moon…well…I want to be the sun…I want to be the one to give you your light and support you…that'll be me, the sun, Tenpi." My brother whispered. I closed my eyes and no words were needed. We knew what we both felt and we both never needed to express any words. We were twins and we knew each other's hearts.
\\End of flashback\\
"Your brother turned evil?" Hao asked me, holding my hand.
"No…evil and good are two sides of a coin. To me…there is no more evil or good there is only…point of view, perspective," I sighed, "It matters how you put it."
"I want you to know…everyone will always be there for you…we'll be your backup" he smiled gently at me.
"You're…you're…" I began but decided to say something else, "I think I finally know how I feel for you and I know what you feel for me."
"Hmm…and what is that?"
"You're…you're…like a brother…no deeper…you're like…a someone…who is connected to me…by soul…a…soul mate. I have a love for you that digs deep…but not in the relationship way. You…I used to think I liked you in a relationship way but…it's not that and I know you know it too. We're connected by our souls and callings." I then added, "You remind me of Tenpi somehow…you're both…misunderstood…"
"Misunderstood, eh? Hmm…yeah, you're right. If I liked you in that sort of way I wouldn't feel the comfortable with you," he smiled lazily.
I could see it in his eyes…the love he held for me and I knew I must have that look in mine too…the love of the connected souls. Every human is connected somehow…even people you think don't belong or are nothing to you are connected to you…sometimes they may surprise you too, you can turn around and discover they actually mean something to you and have a stronger connection then you thing…humans are all connected by soul…and sometimes they intertwine and it works out…like Hao and I…I didn't share the same kind of love with him like I had with Ren…Hao and I were soul mates…Ren and I are lovers. Why did I have to find my soul mate somewhere where I didn't belong and they didn't even belong to my own world? It's weird…
"You're missing your brother, aren't you?" Hao asked me.
I paused for a while, "Yes, I do…very much."
"He wasn't like this before, was he?" Hao softly said.
"No…he was nice…he…loved me…very much," I shook my head sadly.
"And he still does…I'm sure of it."
"I can hear him…I can feel it…I can hear his call for help…I can feel his pain…something happened to him…and I don't know what…but I do know is…I'm going to save him…I swear on my soul…I will save him…" I whispered.
"And we'll all help you," Hao took me hand and held it to his cheek, soft comfort for him and me. It was a small sign but…it assured me I was needed and I had them all to back me up.
"Thank you"

"Ren!!!!" I hugged my boyfriend tightly.
He staggered back, "W-whoa! Easy there! I missed you too!" Ren was laughing and he hugged me tightly back. Then he noticed my jeans… "What did you do to your pants???"
"Well…in art I sort of got paint on them and with my flawless logic…I thought I might as well paint the rest of it!" I smiled at my paint covered jeans.
Ren laughed, "Flawless logic, eh? Flawless it is…flawless it is…" I grinned at him sheepishly.
"Yeah, yeah…"
Hao stood back smiling at us, he really is my soul mate. I unlatched myself from my lover and went over and gave Hao a hug,
"Don't worry! I love you too in a different way…" I smiled and pecked him on the cheek. This time Ren sighed and smiled, he knew it somehow…all was well.
