Chapter Four
Momiji and Kusanagi said goodbye, and Momiji went home. She opened the door and collapsed on the couch. She still couldn't believe that she saw Kusanagi and that she had a two-hour conversation with him. It was like something she dreamed of. "Was it a dream?" she asked herself. "Was today just one big dream that only seemed real?"
She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, when the phone rang. She sighed in disappointment and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Her voice was hoarse.
"Momiji?" a man's voice answered.
"Yes, this is Momiji," she replied. "Who is this?"
"It's me, Toby," he said.
The phone almost fell from her fingertips. "How could I have forgotten about him?" she asked herself. "How could I be so insincere? He's my … my boyfriend."
"Momiji, are you still there?" he asked. "Earth to Momiji."
She snapped out of her daze and put the phone back to her ear. "I'm sorry," she replied. "I dropped the phone." The lies kept rolling from her mouth.
"So, how have you been doing?" he asked.
"I've been great," she said. "How about you?"
"Pretty good I guess," he said.
There was a long pause.
She didn't know what he wanted. But she knew what she needed to tell him. She needed to tell him that she didn't feel the same way about him anymore. She had to tell him that she met some one new. But could she really tell him all that stuff? Does she have the heart?
"Momiji," he stared.
"I have to talk to you," they both said at the same time. "You go first."
"No, Toby, you can go first," she replied. "What I have to say is not very important."
"Okay," he said, and cleared his throat. "Look Momiji, I like you a lot and I really care for you, but…"
Momiji closed her eyes. "Please don't ask me to marry you," she said to herself. "Please, God, don't let him."
"But," he continued, "I think we should see other people."
She sighed in relief. "I think we should, too."
"You do?" She could hear the shock in his voice. "I thought you would be hurt."
"Oh, Toby, don't think I'm not sad, because I am, it's just that I don't have the same feelings for you as I did before," she said. "And I kind of have feelings for someone else."
"I like someone else, too," he replied.
They both laughed and Momiji said, "Jeez, how ironic!"
"Yeah," Toby said. "So, who's the lucky guy, Momiji?"
She smiled. She wanted to say Kusanagi, but when she tried, her heart stopped her. "Someone that likes me for who I am and really respects me," she replied. "How about you?"
He sighed. "A girl at work."
"Well, I'm glad," she said. "But, I'm afraid I have to get going. I'll talk to you soon, okay?"
"Sure," he answered. "Bye, Momiji. Thanks for everything."
"Bye, Toby," she said, and hung up the phone.
She smiled to herself. She couldn't believe it. "It was easier than I thought," she said, and walked into her kitchen. "Tomorrow … I can't wait."

Kusanagi sat outside on his terrace, looking over Tokyo. It's been an hour since he was with Momiji. His heart was still beating rapidly and a dizzy confusion filled his body. It has been a while since he last felt like this. The feeling was so foreign and so strange to him. It was like a sensation of floating in air. It was surreal.
"She was still the same, beautiful Momiji that I remembered from so long ago," he thought, and looked at his palm. "She was so close to me, close enough to touch, but she was further away from me than I thought. Her body was close, but not her heart and soul. I wish she felt the same way again."
He tilted his head toward the sky. It was orange with shades of pink. The clouds stretched across the sky, revealing the moon's shadow coming over the city. He lost himself in his daze. "Momiji … always stay with me. Stay by my side forever. Never leave."
He closed his eyes and allowed himself to fall asleep. But before he fell into his dream, he whispered, "Tomorrow…" That was the last thing he said.
--
Momiji finished eating her supper and sat at her window seat. The moon became bright and the sky grew dark. "Kusanagi, you haven't changed. That sly, mysterious smile that made me curious what he was thinking. The way his eyes looked me over so intently, it was almost like he was taking a picture to keep it locked away in his memory. The way he loved me … he loved me as if I was the only girl in the world. And really to him, I was. And I was a fool for not believing it."
Her eyes watered as her memories rushed in. "How could I have been so stupid to have let him go?" she asked herself. She hated herself for not realizing it until now. Selfishness consumed her after the Aragami had died, and all she wanted was to live a normal life. To live a life that had nothing to do with the TAC, the Kushinada, and even Kusanagi. She couldn't believe herself for being so self-centered. "If only I could go back in time … then I could change everything," she thought.
Her head leaned against the window and she closed her eyes. "Kusanagi, please love me like you used to," she whispered. "If only you could be my kUsHi34Pro." She sighed and then fell asleep.
The moon hung full in the sky, casting a silver glow over Tokyo. Tomorrow was only a day away, but it seemed like forever…
