Chapter 10: It was only a dream?

Kanna jumped up with a trickle of sweat going down her face. She was panting. It was night time in Japan, she looked around the room to see if she could see Susumu, but to her relief there was no Susumu. Not even a trace. She walked outside to see Soji, and a couple of soldiers, returning from patrolling.

"Um... Mr. Okita?" Kanna asked walking outside, she was completly dressed.

"Yes?" He turned around to see Kanna on the porch.

"Was Susumu around my room ealier, or last night?" Kanna asked.

"Hm..." Soji said putting his finger on his chin. "Not that I can recall!" He said with a smile.

"Then it was just a dream..." Kanna whispered with a smile.

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing!" Kanna said smiling and running back into her room.

Soji started laughing then walking off to change into his night time clothes.

"Thank you..." She said sliding down the wall. Kiba came up and layed down beside her. She cried, but not from sadness. She was so glad, she loved Shinpachi, even though she wouldn't tell him. (You could all probably guess that.) She sat there for a minute her tears have dried up. She was sick about crying so damn much over nothing. "I JUST SO HAPPY!" She yelled standing up with a fist infront of her. "And now what to do?" She said looking around.

She walked outside once again. Everyone was asleep except for the guards on night duty. Kanna walked around, the summer was ending and autumn was coming in. All the cherry blossoms had already fallen. Not one petal could be found. A cool breeze was blowing making chills go up and down Kanna's spine. "Well I guess I better be headin-" She was cut off by someone.

"Kanna?" Someone asked.

"What?" She looked over her shoulder to see (Bum Bum Bum) Shinpachi, he had a bandage around his right arm. He was holding it. "What... Happened?" Kanna said looking at the wounded Shinpachi.

"Ah what that? It's nothing Nothing at all!" He said smiling, hiding his arm behind his back.

Kanna looked at him with a strange look then smiled. "You're such a weirdo!" She said laughing.

"Yah really think so?" He said rubbing the back of his head laughing.

"Yeah. But it's cute." Kanna said looked at Shinpachi with some of her hair coming over one of her eyes. Shinpachi stopped and looked at her for a moment then smiled.
