Chapter Five
It was Friday morning. The sun slowly crept across Momiji's face through the open window. Her eyes fluttered open, like the wings of a bird getting ready to fly, and she sat up to stretch out her arms, reaching for stars that weren't really there. She slid out of bed and aimlessly walked into the bathroom.
She ran the warm water and slipped inside the tub. Today was the day. The day she would finally meet her kUsHi34Pro, and hopefully be with him forever. "What am I going to say when I meet him? Should I say: 'Hi, I'm Momiji, also known as Maple89Gal.' No, I can't say that, I'll look so stupid," she thought to herself. "Maybe I shouldn't think about what I'm going to say. I should just say what's in my head that moment."
She finished wetting her hair and then wrapped a towel around her body. She walked into the kitchen to make herself breakfast. She made pancake mix and freshly squeezed orange juice.
Everything around her seemed so perfect like a dream. A dream that she wished would never end. She wanted it to last forever like a never-ending road that went on and on, searching for more twists and turns. But something made her think twice about it. More of a someone rather than a something, really.
She thought of Kusanagi. She wanted him to be with her. She wanted him close to her, closer than the clothes on her body. But she knew it could never happen, she already liked-possibly even loved-someone else. Someone that she never met, but somehow she already knew him. It was like she met him in a past life or something. Maybe she did, maybe she really did meet him in a past life. A life that she missed.
"Get a grip, Momiji," she said to herself as she nervously got herself dressed. "Don't be so nervous. It will be all right. It's not like you're going into battle, it's just a date."
She put on her favorite autumn red sweater that matched her scarf and slipped into denim jeans. She put her hair up into a ponytail and then painted her eyelids with eye shadow and her lips with rouge.
She stared at her reflection in the placid mirror. She looked like a pinup girl on those beauty magazines that she subscribes to. She looked like a star in a soap opera that stole everyone else's boyfriends. The girl that everyone wanted to be.

Kusanagi wiped the sleep from his eyes and squinted as the sun beat down on his face. It was a ball of fire that only shinned for him. And in his heart he felt it, too. He felt it bursting through the walls of his heart, warming the coldness that once filled his body. But maybe it wasn't the sun. Maybe it was something much more than that. Maybe it was-could it be that? "Love…" he whispered to himself. "It could feel so great, but at the same time it can feel like torture."
He sat up, stretching out his arms. He sighed as he stood up and walked into his dim apartment. How could the outside be so bright and cheery, and the inside be so dark? Lots of things seemed to be like that lately. Nothing was like it used to be; nothing had its same vibrancy and happiness. Everything was dull and boring. But he managed to have high spirits, and that surprised him. He knew why, too. It was because of Momiji or was it because of Maple89Gal? Whoever it was, he knew he could never let her go. Because if he did, he knew he would be letting go of everything that was still good in his life, and so much more that even he didn't know about.
He poured a bowl of cereal and sat down at the kitchen table, alone as always. Maybe after today it will be different tomorrow. When he slept in his bed, he wouldn't be alone, wishing for daylight so he wouldn't be reminded of it. When he ate at his table, he wouldn't be sitting alone, listening to the clock take all the time away. He hated being all by himself. It made him feel like a hermit, trapped inside of a steel box that would never tear open. Not even his potent strength could get him out.
He glanced over at his digital clock on the counter. It read: 11:30. "It's time," he said, and stood up. He trailed off into his room to get dressed for his date with destiny.

Momiji finished getting ready and walked to the door. Each step she took seemed to please her as if she was walking on fluffy clouds. Every cloud was filled with happiness and serenity, each emotion she wanted. Maybe she would find both this afternoon. "Maybe," she whispered to herself. She grabbed her jacket off the coat hanger and left out the door.
She walked down the busy sidewalks of downtown Tokyo, smiling as if she was in a daze. She could feel her heart beating like a freight train in her chest , picking up speed as she got closer to the café. Her stomach was swarming with jumpy butterflies, and her mind was filled with a dizzy haze. She couldn't think straight, all she thought about was finally being able to see her kUsHi34Pro.
The farther she got down the sidewalk, she could see the neon sign reading: 'Kaori's Café,' glowing with all its glory a block away. She finally reached it and walked inside, instantly smelling the aroma of coffee and cappuccinos blowing in her face. She looked around and then sat down in a booth in the corner that was facing the huge glass window.
The waitress came around and took her order. She ordered a hot chocolate and then stared out the window. People walked past, smiling and talking on their cell phones. It was a typical day in Tokyo. Everything was so fast paced. It always go, go, go, without any breaks. "No wonder why people complain that they never get what they want to do," she thought to herself as she slowly sipped her hot chocolate. "They are too busy to realize how much they're missing."
Out the corner of her eye, she saw something. Something that surprised her. A red jacket, whirling in the wind. "No," she said, shaking her head. "It couldn't have been him. Why would he be in downtown Tokyo in the afternoon? I was just seeing things. That's right, I didn't see it."
As she contemplated on what she really saw, a bell rang, signaling someone walking in the café. She didn't look up, though. She pretended she didn't hear it and kept her head down, trying to figure out if she really saw what she though she did.
Suddenly, someone sat across from her. She lifted her head, thinking that it was kUsHi34Pro. But when she did, it wasn't him! It was…
"Kusanagi!" she said loudly, as her mouth dropped on the table. "W-What are you doing here?"
He smiled slyly. "I don't know why, but somehow I knew it was you. I just knew it."
"You knew that I was who?" she asked, her face turning he color of her scarf.
" Don't be like that, Momiji," he said. "I know you better than that. I know that you are Maple89Gal."
She covered her mouth, holding back the impulse of spitting out her hot chocolate due to the overwhelming shock that consumed her body. "You mean, you're…you're…"
He nodded. "kUsHi34Pro," he finished. "Yeah, that's me."
Even though she was shocked beyond belief, she felt somewhat relieved. She was relieved that he ended up to be the person she was in love with, because she loved him all along, even before she started to email with him.
"Are you disappointed?" he asked.
She looked up into his sparkling eyes. She felt the same tranquillity she did when she was in her apartment. She didn't want to loose that feeling forever, nor did she want to loose him again. She smiled and shook her head.
"No, Kusanagi," she replied, reaching out for his hand. "I'm not disappointed at all. I'm glad it was you."
"I am, too," he said. "How about we get out of here?"
She nodded and they stood up. They walked out hand-in-hand all the way to her apartment. "You know why I'm glad it was you?" she asked, as they walked.
"Why is that?" he said.
"I never stopped loving you," she replied. "And if it wasn't you, I know would just be lying to my heart, because deep inside I love you and no one else."
"I-I don't know what to say," he said, scratching his head, "besides that I love you, too, Momiji. Always will."
"You don't have to say anything," she said, and kissed him. "Because I know, no matter how far apart we are, we'll always be together. Always."
For that moment, the world only revolved around them. Nothing seemed as small as it used to and the worries they once had were gone. Nothing stood in their way as long as they faced it together.
