"Talking"
(Me talking)
Last Chapter
Touya watched her closely as he saw tears running down her cheeks. She wiped them away slowly and jumped down and walked slowly to the lake…
This Chapter: Story of The Heart
Nakuru walked past the swirl of cherry blossoms towards a lonely lake that was now illuminated by the moon.
"This must have been made by master… the weeping willow tree, and the moon enlightened lake."
She sat amongst the lush green grass that was in a pattern of jade colors, and sighed… why could Touya just see their love?
Why couldn't I keep my own love?
Bitter tears of reality hit her square in the chest knocking her heart down, making it shatter into a million pieces. This place remaindered her so much of…
^Flash Back^
"Nakuru, I'm sorry…"
"You broke my heart, and now you say you're sorry?"
"You just don't understand."
"I don't need to."
"We aren't meant to be, and we can't be together."
"We can't be together, because you won't let us."
Nakuru reached out for the dark brown haired male, but he pulled away, "It can't work."
"So what if it doesn't seem perfect? I'm a guardian, and you're an angel. We are not far from each other."
"It can't work. I'm sorry."
One last tear fell down Nakuru's pale cheek hitting the ground, and sparkled with a beauty unknown, "So be it than."
She placed her hand upon her heart, "If it won't work than I won't hurt myself any one. I'll forget what we had, and replace it."
"Nakuru…"
"Good-bye my love…"
^End of Flash Back^
"I had forgotten all these years, and now…"
"Nakuru…"
Nakuru looked up from the moon's smile, and her eyes met a pair of deep amber ones, "Touya."
She watched him sit beside her playing with a piece of lush, emerald grass, "I…"
"You know about my forgotten memories."
He nodded, "I'm…"
She placed her finger upon his soft lips, "I hate those words. Please, don't speak them."
"I like the old you."
She brushed some invisible dirty off of her clothes, and stood up curtly, "Well, someone of don't, nor showed it."
Touya grabbed her hand, "I liked the old you, but I love the new you."
She stared at him for a moment, "You can't like both."
"Why can't I?"
"It's not that simple."
"Nothing is ever simple. Nakuru which do you love?"
"The happy-go-lucky pretend you, or the bitter cold real you?"
"I don't know."
"You don't have to know. That is the point."
"You're not making much since."
"I don't have to be."
She turned her head slightly, and his lips met her own.
"Nakuru, I understand what you were trying to prove to me about my little sister and the gaki."
She narrowed her eyes a little, "You do?"
"No matter what I do they will always love each other, just like you will always love your angel."
She snapped her eyes open wider, but did not speak.
"Even when you for got you're memory you still loved him. You can never lose that feeling, and no one ever wants you to… so you see even if Sakura and the gaki split up I could never take away the feeling they shared."
Nakura's lips cracked into a smile, "Finally you understand. I thought we were going to be stuck in here forever with the way your hard head was talking."
They held hands as they walked the length of the wondrous pond, "So you fell in love with a angel, can you fall in love with a ghost as well?"
She smiled, "I think I just might."
Sorry about the short chapter, but I really liked that part and wanted to leave it there. Sorry there was no S+S in this chapter… but I really wanted Touya to realize what Nakuru went through and that he can never take the love out of S+S. Please R+R.
