----------
A few minutes had passed but for Sano it was like a never-ending silence. He tried to break the silence by saying something..anything. But when he opened his mouth to look for the right words only air came out of his mouth. They stared at each other both emotionless. Both trying to find the right word..words that will actually mean something.Nothing. Kaoru finally bowed her head after the tense staring. When Sano finally opened his mouth to talk they heard a scream behind them.Not a painful scream but a joyous scream. It was Keiko and Yoko. Keiko was running towards them despite of the cold wind. Yoko was not far behind. She was behind Keiko walking with Mimi just beside her.
"Sano-san! Kaoru-san!" Keiko yelled joyfully. "It was the most amazing thing!" Kaoru turned her head and Sano fogot what he was about to say.
"Keiko..." Kaoru forced herself to smile as if nothing unusual took place.
"Did you two saw it? It was so cool! The fireworks were in different bright colors! And the.." Keiko talked and talked. Kaoru could only hear faint words from Keiko's talking. All her mind could think about was the kiss. So was Sano. Sano tried to concentrate but he just couldn't. He tried to think of something or someone else. But all he could think about the heavenly scent of Kaoru, her soft lips, the kiss and most importantly how close they were during those few minutes.
"Why Keiko dear slow down! You're confusing them and breathe!" The plump woman laughed and then greeted the two.
"Did you two saw the fireworks from here?" Yoko asked cheerily.
"Umm..Yeah.. We saw them..They were great!" Sano tried to answer Yoko's question lively.
They talked and chattered about the night at the bridge. But Kaoru's and Sano's thoughts were so distant from what they were talking about.
"My, oh my! It's getting late!" Yoko said.
"Yeah..we better get home" Sano replied.
Yoko went the other way to her house while the three walked back to the restaurant. Keiko was talking 60 miles per hour. Just chatting about the festival. Sano wanted to shut her up and just listen to Kaoru's breathing. But Keiko didn't know anything..Keiko didn't mean harm.
The night was really getting late. Sano and Kaoru listened to Keiko's chattering and just remained silent through the whole walk. When Keiko got tired of talking Sano carried her and again..there was the cold silence of the night.A few more steps and they were going to be 'home'..they could keep quiet and forget about the whole thing. The sound of crackling fire and the smell of the poisonous, toxicating burning wood filled the atmosphere. Sano ran to the restaurant only to see it burning into ashes. Kaoru who was right behind him fell down to her knees at the sight of the burning building. People started to wake up and passing out buckets of water to put the fire out. It was no use. The fire was spreading fast building per building. Keiko woke up with all the commotion then upon seeing the burning place she fainted. Sano wanted to help put the fire out. But it's really hard to carry a ten year old fainted girl and comfort a woman who keeps on chanting 'It's them..' Suddenly a shadowy figure appeared up on the roof. Sano stood up and looked back. It was nothing he thought. Then he heard small creeping footsteps getting near towards them. Sano alerted his whole body. On the top of a roof a person dressed in a ninja like outfit covering the person's whole face only showing the eyes took out a bamboo shooting thing. Sano saw bright color of the bamboo then immediately carried Kaoru and Keiko. The ninja person just shot a poisonous arrow but Sano managed to avoid it. Kaoru who was now crying a lot saw what happened then screamed. "It's them!! Run!"
Sano didn't remember anything. When he woke up he found himself in a room. He tried to remember what happened. Then instantly a throbbing pain in his shoulder. was aching. He remembered...He was carrying Keiko and Kaoru running for their lives. About five ninja men were chasing them. He tried to lose them by running into an alley..Bad idea. One of the ninjas obviously followed them. The who was chasing them was jumping on th top of the roof. Sano was carrying Kaoru on one arm and Keiko on the other. Keiko woke up in the middle of Sano's running away from the ninjas. But of course she fainted with Kaoru. Sano didn't know where to go anymore. He just ran and ran trying to protect the two girls. But when he reached the woods the ninja who didn't even look close to tired was on the top of the trees. Sano fell down to his knees while running. Keiko and Kaoru was down on the road too. The ninja then shot an arrow at Sano's shoulder then ran away really quick.
That was all he could remember. After the arrow entered his body he immediately fell then became unconcious. He stood up trying to ignore the endless pain of his shoulders. He went to open the door only to find nothing hostile but a groto and nice garden filled with flowers. He walked slowly looking for a human..But none in sight. He was starting to get worried. He wanted to know where Keiko and Kaoru was.
"Hello?Kaoru!Keiko!Anyone!" He shouted as the sun shone brighly blinding his eyes.
Then right before his eyes as he try to block the sun a figure appeared. The sun glimmered on the figure then revealed Kaoru smiling right before his eyes. She looked as beautiful as ever. Her bright yellow kimono shone in Sano's eyes. He wanted to think that he was in heaven for only heaven would allow something this good to happen in the middle of a crisis. Too bad he wasn't in heaven...
"Sano?Are you okay?You better get back to your room." Kaoru aided Sano back to the room where he woke up.
In the room Kaoru checked Sano's wounds only to find it still in a bad condition.
"You better get some rest..I'll leave you alone." Kaoru was about to stand up and leave but Sano grabbed his arms to stop her.
"Stop..We need to talk.."Sano pleaded gently.
"About what?" Kaoru tried to avoid eye contact with him.
"What happened last night?" Sano didn't want to be straight forward or anything he was just curious.
"Nothing..I found Yoko's house then asked for help..That's it.." Kaoru mumbled.
When Kaoru was about to stand up and leave again Sano stopped her with his words.
"Thank you..For saving my life.." Sano said as he bowed his head down.
Kaoru stopped for a minute as tears dropped from her eyes. But she hid it from Sano then left...
