Chapter Twenty-one- Guilt

She was able to drift off to sleep after she kissed Kyoya. He was still awake and was just looking at her sleeping position. He chuckled on how she could just fall asleep so quickly just being near him. Kyoya kissed her head and said, "I am sorry ok. I will try and be there when you need me the most. Also I won't give up on marrying you as well" He kissed her cheek and brought his lips to her ear and whispered, "I love you." He placed his chin on her head and pulled her closer, he felt that he needed to be very protective over her now after what Akai did.

Kyoya fell asleep while resting his cheek on top of Kimiko's head. Kyoya woke up at one o'clock after a dream that he would not like to have again. He was breathing very heavily; he turned to see where Kimiko was. He saw her lying right besides him on her side facing the opposite direction of him and the covers were at her waist. Kyoya raised the covers all the way up to be her chin was and got up to the balcony from her room to get some fresh air. Kyoya tried to remember what the dream was so he could try and figure out what it was trying to tell him.

Let's see now, I was walking around the park with Kimiko in the morning just talking. It was snowing and the next thing I knew I saw Kimiko on the floor bleeding right next to me. There were not wounds on her but she just started to bleed all over.

Next thing I knew I was at her funeral and it was raining cats and dogs but we were all outside. Then I noticed that I was holding white lies while everyone was putting down purple carnations down on her case. Soon the white lies were turning into blood red and then I was in her place inside the case but I could not get out. Then I heard woman's voice saying, 'It is time for you to die Kyoya so you will be able to feel the entire pain ad suffering that other people died because of you. Your mom, your father, brothers, Fuyumi, and Kimiko died because of you. You should've married Ayame instead of being selfish and keeping your own feelings first. That is when Kyoya woke up.

"Kyoya?" Kyoya turned around so fast that he almost fell of the balcony if it were not for Kimiko to grab him and pull him towards her. She looked at Kyoya and almost yelled, "Are you crazy? What were you planning to do kill yourself? You really scared me there Kyoya?"

"Huh? Oh sorry Kimiko, it is just that you startled me there for a second. I just woke up from a bad dream that is all, and I just came over here for some fresh air to cool off. Why are you up my dear?" He put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her to see if she was ok from what happened last night.

"Oh, it is just I did not feel you beside me so I saw you with your head in your hands so I just wanted to make sure that you were ok, but if you had a bad dream it is best if you tell someone about it. Do you want to talk about it Kyoya?" She was looking at him with very worried eyes that just wanted to make Kyoya cry and hold on to her very tight.

I never felt this scared in my entire life before. The thought of losing Kimiko is so unbearable. He got the courage to look at her and said, "No I fine Kimiko, sorry for worrying you like that. Come on it is late, we should try and go back to sleep. Ok." Kyoya passed her before she got a chance to say anything else. He turned around to see if she was following him back to the bed, but notice that she was just staring at the full moon, and holding her mom's locket.

Kyoya went over to her wrapped his arms around her placed his chin on her head and said to her, "The moon is sure beautiful tonight is it not? Kimiko, what is on your mind to make you look at it and hold your mom's locket?"

"What makes you think that something serious is on my mind Kyoya? It is just a habit for me to think while holding onto the locket." She said looking at him with cute, innocent eyes. Kyoya just smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead and helped direct her to the bed to get some more rest. Kyoya picked her up cradling her against his body after closing the windows behind them. He carried her to the king sized bed and laid her in it and noticed that she fell back asleep. Careful not to wake her up he crawled in. Kyoya has not even put the cover over them and noticed that she wrapped her arms around him.

Do I really make her fell safe and comfortable around me? He smiled and kissed her head before falling back asleep holding her close to his body.
