The mesmerized Sano pulled hisself together to reality. Kaoru and Keiko was already walking out when Sano realized he was all alone.He shook his head a few times to truly wake hisself up. He ran swiftly to the door to catch up with the two giggling girls.
"You could have at least told me you were gonna leave me alone." Sano complained trying not to concentrate on Kaoru's mesmerizing beauty.
"Well you were to busy staring at the wall rooster head..You were even drooling! Well we figured that you would rather look at the wall than go the festival.." Kaoru teased then giggled.
"Hahaha..That's was so funny.." Sano locked the restaurant and walked with the two girls.
"This is the beautifulest kimonono I have ever worn!" Keiko said turning still admiring the kimono.
The two just smiled at Keiko as she twisted and turned around admiring her kimono.
"Do you think Yoko-san will let me keep it?" Keiko asked as they were walking.
"Of course she will...What else would she do about it? It wouldn't definetly fit her." Sano said confidently.
"Yay! I love this kimono!" Keiko smiled all the way to the shore.
At the beach shore were a lot of people dressed fancily in the most amazing looking attires. Women were dressed in the fanciest and the most radiant kimonos. The local men dressed casually and the high positioned men dressed elegantly. As they walked closer they were so amazed on how bright the whole place was. Keiko kept on saying 'Wow' or letting out an amazed gasp. Sano and Kaoru was wide-eyed on most part.
"Keiko! Over here!" Yoko shouted from behind them. Yoko was dressed like it was just another day. She was wearing a bright kimono but not to decorated or fancy. She was dressed casually like the men and Mimi was at her arms resting.
"Yoko-san!" Keiko turned around and saw Yoko. She lifted her kimono then ran to her and hugged her tightly as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Oh..dear..How are you?" Yoko backed up a little bit then stared at Keiko in her kimono. "Oh! You look even more stunning tonight my dear child! Why, you're much prettier than me now!"
Keiko blushed then smiled at Yoko. "No Yoko-san! You are still the prettiest of all!"
Sano and Kaoru walked towards them then greeted Yoko.
"Why, Kaoru you looks even more stunning than the women her in Tokyo!" Yoko commented then hugged her.
Kaoru also blushed then replied. "Thank you Yoko-san"
"And you Sano! Why you look handsome tonight!" Yoko commented even though Sano looked the same as usual.
"Uhh..Thanks..I guess." Sano just sort of rolled her eyes.
The 4 of them walked towards the shore and Yoko handed Keiko a smal lanterned boat.
"Thank you Yoko-san!" Keiko said with her big smile. Yoko just smile back.
Finally when the governor arrived and said a a few words about the history of the night everyone slowly walked towards the shore.
"Keiko you have to set them on the ocean to light the Lady of Spring to meet her lover." Yoko said as she went with Keiko.
Sano and Kaoru was standing there with the chilly wind of Spring/Summer night blowing on their faces. Kaoru tucked her hands in her arms to warm it up a little bit. Sano stared the Kaoru's beautiful hair being blown by the wind gently and her radiant face. Sano stared at her thinking of what she could be thinking of. Well duh Sano! She's thinking about the one she truly loves..and that's not you.. Sano said in his mind. The two of them just remained in the same positon watching Keiko and Yoko set the boat out in the vast ocean. Sano who was still mezmerize in Kaoru's beauty didn't realize that she was holding back her tears. When Sano finally saw a drop of tear fall down from Kaoru's eyes to her cheeks Sano wanted to immediately hug her and make all her pain go away but instead he just wiped Kaoru's tear.
"What's wrong Kaoru?" Sano asked casually hiding the extreme concern in his voice.
"Nothing..It's nothing.." Kaoru lied.
"It is something..Tell me..Remember I promised to help you?" Sano moved closer to Kaoru and observed her once more.
"It's just that..." Tears started to fall down from Kaoru's eyes again. She was definetly crying now. "It's just that..I wish.." She struggled to get words out of her mouth in between her cries. "I just wished Kenshin was here..With me. Right now. Right at this very moment. I wish she was here holding me tight in his arms.." She sobbed then slowly fell down on her knees in the sand. The kimono was a bit filthy now but Kaoru didn't care. It wasn't Kenshin. "I just wish that I was just there in the dojo when it burned into ashes...I wish I could've died with Kenshin. I wish I didn't live at all." Kaoru said morbidly in between her tears.
"No..No..Kenshin wouldn't want that. He wanted you to live. He didn't want you to die with him." Sano said trying to sound as concerned way forgetting rthe fact that he was inlove with her.
"How do you know that Sano?! I should've just burned into ashes with him. At least I was with Kenshin..Life doesn't have any more purpose for me now that he is gone! Can't you see that Sano?! Life doesn't matter when the one you love the most in the world has died and left you all alone in this bitter world!" Kaoru stood up and ran away from Sano.
Sano didn't know what he was doing. But he found hisself producing drops of water from his eyes and the drops of water slowly fell down from his cheeks down on the sticky sand. He was...Crying..Fireworks started to fire up in the sky. The fireworks looked like a million of stars coming down form the sky then just suddenly disappears at it comes closer. Everyone cheered and laughed. Keiko and Yoko was laughing and jumpink up and down. But Sano was in tears without even realizing it. Not knowing what to do Sano ran after Kaoru ignoring the beautiful and colorful fireworks behind him. Kaoru is prettier and much important he thought.
After running for ten minutes Sano stopped to catch his breath. The frigid wind and the loud booming of fireworks was getting painful by every breath he took. It was hopeless..He couldn't find Kaoru. He was getting worried. Then he turned to his left and behind the dropping petals of the cherryblossoms was the river and on the top of the river was a small bridge connecting the city to the residential area of Tokoyo. On the bridge stood Kaoru. The crying and grieving Kaoru. Before anything else could happen Sano ran as fast as he could towards Kaoru. His legs and brain were giving up but his heart wasn't. He ran even though he knew he was just about to face rejection. As he came nearer Kaoru, she turned and saw Sano grasping for air. She was shocked and her tears dried up us Sano held her arms. She could hear Sano taking in air and she could feel the warm air from Sano was he breathe.
"Sano.." Kaoru broke the cold silence between them. "What are you doing here?"
"I ran here Kaoru just to waste my goddamn time!" Sano yelled sarcastically. "I came here because.." Sano didn't know what to say. He needed a good excuse of being there. He didn't want to tell Kaoru how he felt..Not now. "I came here just to let you know that Kenshin still loves you and wanted you to survive and live your life not blame yourself for everything and just wish yourself dead!" Sano raised her voice as her held into Kaoru's arms tightly. Kaoru who just stared at him blankly was once again producing tears. "Don't cry Kaoru.." Sano wiped the tears of Kaoru cheek and continued. "Kaoru..Please..Understand that Kenshin don't want you to live like this. He wanted you to be safe. He died because he loved you and didn't want you to get hurt. He was protecting you. Kenshin is still and will always be with you no matter what." Sano gave out a smile to cheer Kaoru up.
"But I want everything to be the way they use to be..When everything still seemed so normal and much better." Kaoru sobbed then hugged Sano. She was on Sano's shoulders crying. Sano didn't want to think about the way she felt for Kaoru right now so he just hugged her back. "I want him back Sano. It's so unfair.." The wind started to blow the chilly air again.
"Nothing is fair Kaoru.." Sano lifted Kaoru's chin up then touched her soft cheeks with dried tears.
Sano leaned closer towards Kaoru. Kaoru closed her eyes as they leaned closer to each other. The frigid wind blew gently and the cherryblossom petals were blown away towards the river making it float in the shining river. Sano and Kaoru hugged each other tightly then in the gente blow of the wind with the petals Kaoru's soft lips touched Sano's shivering lips sharing a simple yet meaningful kiss for both of them.Sano wanted the moment to last forever. He wanted time to stop and freeze the kiss. He wanted to savor each moment of it. He didn't want it to end.. The kiss lasted only a few minutes befire they realized what they have done. They both backed up at the same time. Sano touched his lips then stared at Kaoru. Kaoru was expressionless when the kiss over. Sano didn't know what to say. He just stood there frozen in fear of what to say. He wished he didn't kiss her. But her mind was leaping for joy and yet there was one small part of her mind telling him how stupid he was. He didn't even want to imagine what Kaoru thought of him now.
The rushing whistling of the river reflecting by the moonlight and the whistling of the winds carrying the cherryblossoms petals and the booming and lights of the fireworks was all that was felt in the glorious yet paiful for some, night of the festival. The night where the Lady of Spring kissed her forbidden lover the Lord of Summer for the first time. The forbidden love had caused them both their death...
