Kittychan:
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. I'm
SUPER-SUPER sorry, I didn't mean not to update this fic all summer!!! It
was cuz I took a vacation to Vietnam to visit my grandma and I needed to
work on my other fic. Believe me, Curse of the Wolf is gonna take some work
and a whole-lotta research. But feel free to read that fic too! And just a
reminder, there is no mature things in here except for maybe one swear word
or two, I'm not there yet. But any sexual contact, you're reading the wrong
fic. I'm only 15 and I still watch Disney Cartoons and cry about it!!! You
really think I'm gonna have any mature stuff in here?? So if I have mislead
you to think things like that, I am truly, really sorry. So, finally, here
is the next chapter. 7th day, 7 more to go.
Chapter 8
"And that's what happen," Fujitaka explained.
"I still can't believe you survived, Dad." Touya replied on the receiving end. "Are you sure you're okay, not tired or anything?"
"Yea, I'm not that old! Besides, after that long walk back up the cliff, I took a long nap. And I feel great!"
"(Sigh)Alright, let me talk to the kaiju."
"Hey! I heard that!" Sakura's voice came on next. It seems that she was using another phone in the room.
Fujitaka chuckled. There was nothing like a good laugh from his own kids.
"Well, come on, I wanna hear how a kaiju, a Chinese Brat, and Tomoyo were able to find a fully grown man and an assistant teacher?" Touya continued on the other line.
"Grg!! Oniichan!! You're a bigger kaiju!!!"
"Then I guess I'm also the stronger, faster, and better looking kaiju, right?" Touya teased.
"You wish!!!! Just what when I get back, I'm gonna give that enormous, ugly kaiju ego of yours a big whopping!!!!!"
"HEY!!!"
"Hmp! Baka!" Sakura smirked back as she stuck out her tongue at the phone.
"Okay, calm down, I was just kidding, now please hurry up and tell me.
"Noo!! My lips are sealed!! Key locked and gone!"
"If it's gone, then how come you're still talking?!"
"GRG..."
"Hey, you do know I'm paying for this right?! Long distance isn't cheap. Especially now I'm unemployed, which means I'm gonna have to get ANOTHER job! So hurry up!!"
"La, la, la, la, la, la, I can't hear you." She said in a song voice.
"Please all mighty princess of land of fairies?" Touya pleaded.
"Oh!... I hate it when you use that princess thing."
"It worked didn't it?"
"Oh alright, but prepare for the taste of snow when I get home! Well, after we noticed that it was getting late. We formed a search party to look for them."
"But weren't you guys suppose to be snowboarding?"
"Yea, we did. The avalanche made some deep slopes so we had to take our snowboards. Then Ke-I mean Syaoran found Otousan's scarf in the snow. So we continued to follow down the path until we noticed a cabin. Ms Noda and Otousan were both safe and not to mention sleeping in front of a burned out fire. It was so sweet though Oniichan! Otousan must have let Ms Noda use his jacket because she was all wrapped in it and she was leaning against his shoulder and everything!"
"Oh! I see now (^_~). Warm and cozy huh Dad? All alone and lost with a fire and everything. Empty cabin in the woods. Clothes intact I hope? All you needed were some marshmallows and a blanket then-"
"Alright, that's enough!" Fujitaka cut in before he turned any redder. "Nothing happened! Kahimi fell asleep fast and I just gave her my coat cause I thought she would be cold, and then, I fell asleep. No biggie, I would have done it for anyone.
But Touya continued to push on. "But this isn't anyone, this was Kahimi!"
"Last time, I checked I was the father and the one who was suppose to be asking the questions. So, let's talk about what you did yesterday Touya?? Didn't you tell me Yuki(Touya's expression at the time: @_@') was sleeping over to help you study for an up coming exam? You know, all alone in the house, late at night, sounds very romantic and cozy to me, don't you think?"
"Oh yea! And we all know what happened last time you were SUPPOSE to be studying with Yuki." Sakura spoke up.
"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT A FREAKIN' HENTAI!!!!! HOW COULD YOU EVEN ACCUSE ME OF SUCH A THING?!?!?!?! ALL THAT I ASK IS TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH MY FRIEND AND YOU GO OFF AND ACCUSE ME OF SUCH ACTIONS?!!?!?!?!?! I WILL NOT STAND-"
But he stopped himself short when he noticed there was laughter on the receiving.
"That is not funny!" Touya gritted through his teeth as he shot his poisonous glare at the phone.
"Hahaha, you don't know how wrong you are. Hahaha, but seriously, I know you didn't anything son. You're a seinen now and Touya, I trust you." Then Fujitaka suddenly changed his voice into a low and husky sound. "But next time you remember to be careful when you play with fire against your father. Never forget that I still got some tricks up my sleeves and, you will get burned every time."
"Sigh..(-_-') yes, anata wa kaijuu desu. Hail, hail to the champ." Touya said, sarcastically.
"Darn straight. And don't you forget it."
"Otousan 1, Oniichan-Zip!" Sakura shouted cheerfully.
"Anways, I gotta go. You know, shigoto calls."
"I thought you said you didn't have a job!?!?!" Sakura asked, shocked.
"I lied. Later kaiju, see you tomorrow Otousan."
"Take care of yourself Touya. Bye!"
Click!
"Come Sakura! We're gonna be late for the Snowflake Carnival!" Tomoyo shouted as she popped her head into the room. "Are you done?"
"Hai. Coming!" Sakura replied back. "Are you coming too Otousan?"
"Of course, I'll catch up with you kids later. Have a good time." Fujitaka answered.
"Thanks. See you soon!" Then before, running out the door with her friend at her side and Kero carefully stuffed in her hood, Sakura leaned forward and kiss Fujitaka on the cheek.
So what is it that you plan to do now, huh? His inner voice asked.
I made a promise right? And have I ever broken a promise before? Fujitaka thought back to himself as he began to get ready.
Hmm...let's see, memory check. Hmmm..good, good, good, excellent..
See?
Oh wait.
What?! What do you mean "wait"?
There is one promise you haven't checked.
And what promise is that?
The most important one!!!! Jeez, time for another memory flash back.
~Flashback~
"It was a great idea to come up here. It's so beautiful!" Nadeshiko exclaimed looking out the window at a young Touya and Sakura playing in the snow.
"I wanted to do something special for you and kids. Something for the memories." Fujitaka replied as he came up from behind Nadeshiko and wrapped his arms around her.
"The kids look like they're having fun, huh?"
Both watch in content as they saw Touya's attempt to make the biggest snowman in the world, but unfortunately only reached to his chin.
"I shall bwe the bweautiful pwrincess of this land." Sakura stated after she had successfully climbed a little tree stump, in her little chibi voice.
"Oh? And how beautiful do you intend to be?" Touya jested.
"As beautiful as Mommy is! And I shall rwule o-ver all the fairwees!" Sakura exclaimed holding up a stick as if it were a staff.
"Well then, your highness, here's a royal snow ball for the princess!" Within seconds, Touya had already hurled a huge snowball at her back.
"HEY!! Off with his head!!"
A snowball hurled back in Touya's direction, hitting him straight on his face.
"Fujitaka, umm- I need to talk to you." Nadeshiko said as she pulled him away from the window and towards a sofa.
"What's wrong?" Fujitaka asked as he followed and sat down in a chair next to her.
Trying hard to hide her sorrow, Nadeshiko forced on a smile. "Well, I can feel it, .... that's it almost .you know..that time."
"What?! No, it can't be almost time. Th-this is too soon." Fujitaka began to stutter as he jumped up from his spot and began to pace back and forth. "It wasn't enough time. It can't be true. Are you sure?" he asked but didn't even wait for an answer from her. "Oh my god, maybe we should've stayed home. Now we're gonna need an ambulance, a-a-a-a doctor, arg, I should've taken along my cell phone. This is too sudden!"
Nadeshiko leaned out a hand to reassure her husband. "Fujitaka, please.calm down. W-we both knew this would happen. I told you it would, when you asked me to marry you." She said in a calm voice. There was a silence moment between them, since neither knew what to say,..until Nadeshiko had a deep sigh and looked back up at Fujitaka with her sad leaf-green eyes.
"Do you regret it?" She asked in a small and almost quivering voice.
"What?!" Fujitaka spun around and looked Nadeshiko straight in her eyes in disbelief of what he was hearing.
"I said..do you regret marrying me?" She asked again, but this time, more slowly.
"NO!"
Fujitaka rushed over to her side on the chair and held her close "Not ever. What would make you even think of such a thing? You know I never could do that." He brought a hand up to her face, just to stroke her cheek.
"I know." Nadeshiko replied as she took both hands and wrapped them around the hand on her face. "I just-well seeing how upset you are now...I-I-I didn't want you to have regrets."
"Regets?!" he asked in showing a small smile. "Marrying you was the only thing I've ever done right in my life!"
"Really?" Nadeshiko asked as she looked up at him.
"Cross the heart I keep you in." Fujitaka answered as he bent his head down where they met for a sweet kiss. "I love you so much."
"I know you do. That's why I'm so thankful that I found you." Nadeshiko said back with her sweetest smile.
Then they both went outside to join Touya and Sakura in the biggest snow fight that lasted on endless hours.
And every time I close my eyes I thank the lord that That I've got you And you've got me too And every time I think of it I pinch myself cuz I don't believe it's true That someone like you Loves me too (Every Time I Close My Eyes-Babyface)
~*~* (later that night)
Fujitaka was sitting up in bed reading a book, while Nadeshiko sat next to him, with her head rested on his shoulder and her long wavy hair, plaited as it tumbled down the front of his shirt. It was nighttime and a crested moon was casting it's light, causing the falling snowflakes outside their window to have a heavenly glow and the world seemed to be at peace.
"Nadeshiko?" Fujitaka suddenly spoke up as he put down his book.
"What is it?"
"Do you remember what I said to you...on our wedding day?" he asked as he reached out for her hand. The sleeves of her pajamas covered half of her hand and stopped right where her ring was. He held her hand in his own, so that the two rings were touching.
"Of course I do.." Nadeshiko said softly. "I hear every time I wake up..every time you hold me like this..." she said as Nadeshiko took Fujitaka's right arm and brought it around herself. "Every time you tell me how much you love me..I remember..you said that you wouldn't stop loving me when death parts us.. That time itself would die along side with me, ...just so (yawn..) it couldn't change your love."
"I ju- I just wanted you stay longer with me, that's all. If I kept you too close, it's only because I wanted to keep you longer." Fujitaka replied back as he dropped a light kiss on her head.
Her voice suddenly grew sleepy and her eyes were slowly closing. Still, she forced them open. "I know. But just promise me this."
"Anything."
"Promise me...When I leave, you must try and move on."
"How do you expect me love anyone else but you?"
"I know you love me... And you always will. ...I'll always stay in your heart,... like you said. But I don't want you to be lonely...being alone...is the worse suffering...in the world..."
Fujitaka didn't answer. He just stroked her hair, simply enjoying the precious time he had left with his beloved.
"You will love again, .. I know you will." Nadeshiko answered softly. Then she smiled secretly, as if she knew something he didn't. "And who knows, maybe we'll even see each other again some day."
"You better go to sleep, tomorrow will be another long day." Then he reached over, turned out the lights, then slid down into the sheets.
I could stay awake Just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away and dreaming
"I love you.." she whispered. Her voice calm, and gently, like the wind.
I could spend my life In this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
"I love you too.."
I don't wanna close me eyes I don't wanna fall asleep Cause I'd miss you babe And I don't wanna miss a thing Cause even when I dream again The sweetest dream will never do I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Hours have past but still Fujitaka refused to close his eyes. All he wanted to do was lay there and listen to her soft and steady breathing.
I don't wanna miss one smile I don't wanna miss one kiss I just wanna be with you Right here with you, just like this I just wanna hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine Be forever in this moment For the rest of time
~End of Flashback~
You see what I mean? I never did keep your promise. How many years as it been?
I was just pinning my time. You know how much I loved her. Fujitaka thought back as he began to tie the laces on his boots.
Yes, but you know what they say. If you really do love her, then you have to let her go.
It hasn't exactly been easy.
Well where are you going?
Over to Kahimi's, remember I promised her I would take her to the carnival.
~*~*
Kahimi pulled her white turtle neck over her head her long straight hair into a long ponytail, as she prepared for a good booktail. And, as usual, whenever she did something, she would sing whatever song popped into her head at the moment.
Have you ever loved somebody so much It makes You cry Have you ever needed someone so bad You can't Sleep at night
Knock! Knock!
"Coming!" She threw her book down on the crouch and ran to the door.
The door swung open and there stood Fujitaka!
"Fujitaka! How are you?" Kahimi asked in a cheerful voice.
"First of all, I'm fine, how are you? Did you get enough rest?"
"Yes, I did. I took a quick nap after we got back. Thank you for asking."
"So.." Fujitaka said without thinking as he began to shuffle his feet in the cold snow.
Kahimi just smiled, seeing how this was the first time she had ever seen Fujitaka nervous. "So, what do I owe this honor of your presence?" She teased.
"Well, I thought we had a date." Fujitaka blurted out.
"What?" She was a little taken back by the sudden surprise. In fact, she even began to blush.
"Well, not an actually date, but don't you remember my promise?" he continued ask in a causal voice.
"Well, you don't have to keep it. Well, what I mean is-umm. I know you said that just to make me less worried, and..it worked. Besides, I'm sure you'd like to spend some time with Sakura. You don't need to worry about me. It's not like I'm the only one who hasn't been to a carnival, right?"
"Well, then...ummm." Fujitaka paused for a moment to decide what he should say next. "Well- I'm here and Sakura's not with me. Besides, she has an escort. I mean, you're not gonna make my long, tired-some, crusade over to your cabin be for nothing are ya?" Fujitaka joked.
Kahimi giggled.
So he decided to keep pushing his luck. "Come on, you know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it. Just give it a try."
"Well, since you put it that way. Hmmm...alright, but only for half an hour and then I'm coming straight back."
"Hey, you leave when you want to and I'll be happy to escort you back personally."
"Thank you, I'll be right back." With that, she disappeared inside the cabin and reappear with a scarf, and a long warm coat.
"Ready?"
"Yes, but there still one thing left."
"What is it?"
"Hmmm..now what's that phrase again?" She cocked her head to side and looked up while she tapped her finger against her chin, pretending to think. "Oh yes,...last one there is a rotten egg!!" Then she dashed ahead of Fujitaka toward the sparkling light and large Ferris wheel.
"Hey you cheated!!" Fujitaka shouted behind as he trailed after her.
~*~*
"Prepare to go down Hiiragizawa!" Syaoran smirked as he picked up the toy gun and aimed for the target.
"Oh?" Eriol asked, pretending to surprised. Then he also added, "Then I guess I better actually 'try' this time, huh?"
"Why don't you but your mouth where your game is?" Syaoran smirked back.
"Hoho, I have got to get this on video," Tomoyo declared as she took out her mini camera. "Who do you want to bid on Sakura?" But there was no answer. "Sakura?"
"Huh?" Sakura turned around.
"Are you alright?"
"Yea, I just well, thought that Otousan would be here by here. He said he would catch up later."
"Well, maybe he needed to do something first. I'm sure he'll show up soon."
"Hmm.." Sakura looked down at her shoes. "Maybe you're right. I just wish he would have some more fun. Usually around Valentine's Day, he always seems to be burying himself in work."
"But didn't you tell me that now that your dad is hanging out with Ms Noda right?"
"That's right."
"Then you don't need to worry about him so much." Tomoyo said brightly with a rather sly grin of her own.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, observing her friend very closely to see if she had another one of her schemes brewing in her head.
"And we have a tie!!!" A voice shouted from the shooting booth.
"Oh wow! I guess they both won." Tomoyo smiled at Sakura.
Suddenly, Syaoran walked up to the two of them. "Sakura, go ahead and pick one out."
"Reallly?! You mean it?" Sakura asked, her beautiful eyes big and shimmering. "Oh thank you Syaoran!" Then she tip-toed up(since he was so tall) and gave he a kiss on the cheek.
Crimson red soon spread over Syaoran's face as he tried to hide it.
"You too, Tomoyo." Eriol said, looking down at her.
"Oh.and I suppose you would want a kiss too, am I right?" Tomoyo asked, giving Eriol that all-knowing look.
"I can dream, can't I?" Eriol smirked with a big grin.
"Then keep dreaming." Tomoyo teased.
But Eriol didn't look hurt. "Then I guess you would be, what they call a dream-come true," he whispered softly.
"Oh please!" Syaoran yelled out of exasperation. "I could do better."
Tomoyo smiled. "I know you could, but that's for Sakura. For me, that's good enough." Then she turned back to Eriol, who instantly bent down for his kiss, which Tomoyo was glad to give. Then she too, walked over to Sakura, who had finished deciding which stuff animal to get.
"Did you decide yet Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yep! I decided to get this." There, in Sakura's arms, was a large amber wolf, with flickering dark eyes.
"If you ask me, it's looks a bit like our Syaoran here, don't you think?" Eriol asked, rising one eyebrow.
Syaoran just instantly shot him the death glare.
"What did you get Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"Well I wasn't sure since there are so many cute ones,...but I made up my mind. I decided to get this." She revealed a midnight blue cat with orange ears, orange nose, and the tip of the tail was orange as well.
"If you ask me, that cat looks a bit like you Eriol." Syaoran smirked back, remembering when Sakura was caught in Wonderland.
Eriol just shot his own Cheshire cat grin back at Syaoran.
"Hey, Sakura! Isn't that your dad?" Tomoyo asked, pointing behind Sakura.
All four of them spun around to see Fujitaka and Kahimi walking towards them.
"Hey kids, how are you?" Fujitaka asked calmly, as he approached them.
""We're fine, nice to see you Sir," Eriol replied in his gentleman manner.
"Ms Noda!" Sakura and Tomoyo exclaimed.
"How are you girls doing? Are you having fun?" Kahimi asked back with a pretty smile.
"Yes! What about you? What have you been doing?" Sakura asked back.
"Well, seeing how this is my first time to a carnival, your father was kind enough to show me around. In fact, just right now, I just beat him in bumper cars!"
"Wow! If you beat Kinomoto-san, you must be really good Ms Noda." Tomoyo complimented.
"Yes, now I owe her a present." Fujitaka said proudly, as if it was nothing to be ashamed of. (what a good sport he is!)
"Oh, no! You don't have to that. It was just a little bet for fun, that's all."
"Nevertheless, I am a man of my word." Fujitaka persisted.
Then Sakura suggested, "Otousan, you should try the shooting arcade. They have very good prizes."
"Okay, why not?"
They all watched with great interest as Fujitaka picked up the gun. The point of the game was aim, and speed. The usual 10 points ducks would swim back and forth, in 5 different rows, but there was a bonus duckling somewhere close to the bottom. The problem, beside it being small and covered by the other bigger ducks, was that you had to hit right before it gets to an opening certain spot.
"GO!"
Bang! Bang!
Two ducks went down on the first second.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Five more ducks were shot.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In about a minute, Fujitaka already had about 50 points.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, there was a different sound that came up.
DING!
"Hey, he did! He hit the bonus duck!" Syaoran exclaimed. Neither Eriol or him were even able to accomplish that.
"You never told us your father could shoot Sakura!" Eriol said in surprised that someone could be that skilled.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
More ducks went down.
"And TIME!"
"That was great Otousan!!" Sakura squealed.
"You were amazing! Where did you learn to shoot like that?" Kahimi asked in disbelief.
"Well, you know, it comes and goes," Fujitaka replied casual, playing it cool.
"Congratulations Sir. You got the top score. Here's your prize." Then the man handed Fujitaka a bag, instead of a stuff animal. "It's a music box, but I thought you wouldn't want it to break, so I already put it in a box for you." The man kindly explained.
"Thank you very much."
Then Fujitaka turned to Kahimi.
"Your Majesty." He said, bowing. "I give you, your present."
Kahimi laughed at his little joke. But she decided to play along. "Thank you good Sir, that will be all."
"Hey Tomoyo! Look, there's a singing contest." Eriol said pointing over to his right at a lighted up stage. "Let's enter."
"Okay! Sakura, Syaoran, are you coming?"
"Sure! What about you Otousan? Ms Noda?" Sakura asked turning to the two adults.
"That's a great idea. Kahimi, you have a great voice, you should enter!" Fujitaka suggested.
"Well..."
"Please? For me?" Then he pulled out the puppy eyes and pouted look. (Gasp! He used the "for me" quote. Hint, hint. =^-^=)
"Sigh...okay for you. But only because you got me this music box."
"Great come on!" Then he grabbed her hand and started to pull her towards the stage leaving the four behind, a little puzzled.
"Hey! Wait up!" Sakura shouted as she ran right after them, with the rest of gang behind.
~*~* (you guys noticed that Fujitaka was holding her hand. =^-~=)
"Alright, give it up for those two! What a voice!!"
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Tomoyo and Eriol stepped off the stage, after a stunning performance together, singing Some Day We'll Know (Walk to Remember soundtrack).
"That was great Tomoyo!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Thanks Sakura-chan. But I thought yours was better."
Before Tomoyo and Eriol went, Sakura and Syaoran had also sung a duet together. Their song was In the Beginning (Anastasia Soundtrack).
"And now, we have our very last contestant!"
"Good luck." Fujitaka whispered to Kahimi.
"Thanks!" She replied back with a smile.
"Let's give it up for her!!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
"H-hello everyone." Kahimi said nervously as she sat down on the stool in front of the mike. "I would like to this dedicate this to all my new students whom I enjoy teaching so much. And especially to my new friend, Umm-just considered this a message from your lost one."
What if I told you It was all meant to be Would you believe me? Would you believe It's almost a feeling That we've met before So don't tell me that I'm crazy When I tell you love is here now
Her voice was sweet and seemed flowing in a way. Sounding almost angelic. Fujitaka was standing on the side, watching her sing.
A moment like this So people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this
The stage was outside and the skies were so clear up in the mountains. So the starry night opened up and it looked as if a moonbeam was cast down to where Kahimi was sitting, like an open stage for the universe to hear.
Everything changes But beauty remains Something so tender I can't explain Well I may be dreaming But still I'm awake Can't we make the dream last forever And I'll cherish all the love That we share
Her eyes themselves, seemed to match the color of the heavenly stars, holding all her secrets. And the way they would shine when she smiled, they seemed to reflect all the beauty in the world.
A moment like this So people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime For a moment Like this
Could this be the rainbow? I wanna know that you will catch me When I fall So let me tell you this Some people wait a lifetime For a moment
A moment like this So people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment
For some strange reason, Fujitaka didn't know why,.. but the air around Kahimi went hazy and light. And there seemed to be no one else around them.
Like this
But suddenly an image of Nadeshiko, and she was standing where Kahimi was, just flashed before his eyes. Fujitaka double blinked to make sure he wasn't just seeing things. But everything looked normal.
APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
~*~*
We get almost every night
When that moon is big and bright It's a supernatural delight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
"I still cannot believe, how unbelievable you were!!! That was the most incredible thing I have ever heard." Fujitaka said in disbelief. They were both sitting down on a bench, tying the laces of their ice skates. In front of them, was the large pond, completely frozen people gliding across the water, as wires of hung lights glowed above them.
Everybody here is out of sight They don't bark And they don't bite They keep their cool to keep it tight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
"Oh, well thank you very much Fujitaka-san. I'm glad you enjoyed." Kahimi replied, a bit shyly, as she turned red from the embarrassment.
"Well, thank you for the tickets. You should've kept them to yourself, I mean I can go the movies anytime." Fujitaka shrugged.
"Well, it was the least I could do for that music box you got me. Plus I thought it would be nice for you and your family to spend some time together." Kahimi replied.
"Well, there are four tickets, and three of us in the family..soooooo...why don't you come with us?" Fujitaka asked eagerly.
"Oh no! I wouldn't want to intrude on a family outing. I couldn't, it would feel completely wrong." Kahimi spoke up quickly.
"Hey, the more the merrier. Besides I know the kids won't mind."
Then Fujitaka stood up and held out his hand. "May I have this dance? Well, I mean this skate?"
Dancing in the moonlight Everybody's Feeling warm and bright It's such a fine, romantic sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Kahimi giggled. Then she promptly stood up as well, coming up to his chin and accepted his hand.
We like our fun and we never fight You can't dance and stay uptight It's a super natural delight Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight Everybody's Feeling warm and bright It's such a fine, romantic sight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight Everybody's Feeling warm and bright It's such a fine, romantic sight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight (Dancing in the Moonlight-Toploader (A Walk to Remember Soundtrack)

Chapter 8
"And that's what happen," Fujitaka explained.
"I still can't believe you survived, Dad." Touya replied on the receiving end. "Are you sure you're okay, not tired or anything?"
"Yea, I'm not that old! Besides, after that long walk back up the cliff, I took a long nap. And I feel great!"
"(Sigh)Alright, let me talk to the kaiju."
"Hey! I heard that!" Sakura's voice came on next. It seems that she was using another phone in the room.
Fujitaka chuckled. There was nothing like a good laugh from his own kids.
"Well, come on, I wanna hear how a kaiju, a Chinese Brat, and Tomoyo were able to find a fully grown man and an assistant teacher?" Touya continued on the other line.
"Grg!! Oniichan!! You're a bigger kaiju!!!"
"Then I guess I'm also the stronger, faster, and better looking kaiju, right?" Touya teased.
"You wish!!!! Just what when I get back, I'm gonna give that enormous, ugly kaiju ego of yours a big whopping!!!!!"
"HEY!!!"
"Hmp! Baka!" Sakura smirked back as she stuck out her tongue at the phone.
"Okay, calm down, I was just kidding, now please hurry up and tell me.
"Noo!! My lips are sealed!! Key locked and gone!"
"If it's gone, then how come you're still talking?!"
"GRG..."
"Hey, you do know I'm paying for this right?! Long distance isn't cheap. Especially now I'm unemployed, which means I'm gonna have to get ANOTHER job! So hurry up!!"
"La, la, la, la, la, la, I can't hear you." She said in a song voice.
"Please all mighty princess of land of fairies?" Touya pleaded.
"Oh!... I hate it when you use that princess thing."
"It worked didn't it?"
"Oh alright, but prepare for the taste of snow when I get home! Well, after we noticed that it was getting late. We formed a search party to look for them."
"But weren't you guys suppose to be snowboarding?"
"Yea, we did. The avalanche made some deep slopes so we had to take our snowboards. Then Ke-I mean Syaoran found Otousan's scarf in the snow. So we continued to follow down the path until we noticed a cabin. Ms Noda and Otousan were both safe and not to mention sleeping in front of a burned out fire. It was so sweet though Oniichan! Otousan must have let Ms Noda use his jacket because she was all wrapped in it and she was leaning against his shoulder and everything!"
"Oh! I see now (^_~). Warm and cozy huh Dad? All alone and lost with a fire and everything. Empty cabin in the woods. Clothes intact I hope? All you needed were some marshmallows and a blanket then-"
"Alright, that's enough!" Fujitaka cut in before he turned any redder. "Nothing happened! Kahimi fell asleep fast and I just gave her my coat cause I thought she would be cold, and then, I fell asleep. No biggie, I would have done it for anyone.
But Touya continued to push on. "But this isn't anyone, this was Kahimi!"
"Last time, I checked I was the father and the one who was suppose to be asking the questions. So, let's talk about what you did yesterday Touya?? Didn't you tell me Yuki(Touya's expression at the time: @_@') was sleeping over to help you study for an up coming exam? You know, all alone in the house, late at night, sounds very romantic and cozy to me, don't you think?"
"Oh yea! And we all know what happened last time you were SUPPOSE to be studying with Yuki." Sakura spoke up.
"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT A FREAKIN' HENTAI!!!!! HOW COULD YOU EVEN ACCUSE ME OF SUCH A THING?!?!?!?! ALL THAT I ASK IS TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH MY FRIEND AND YOU GO OFF AND ACCUSE ME OF SUCH ACTIONS?!!?!?!?!?! I WILL NOT STAND-"
But he stopped himself short when he noticed there was laughter on the receiving.
"That is not funny!" Touya gritted through his teeth as he shot his poisonous glare at the phone.
"Hahaha, you don't know how wrong you are. Hahaha, but seriously, I know you didn't anything son. You're a seinen now and Touya, I trust you." Then Fujitaka suddenly changed his voice into a low and husky sound. "But next time you remember to be careful when you play with fire against your father. Never forget that I still got some tricks up my sleeves and, you will get burned every time."
"Sigh..(-_-') yes, anata wa kaijuu desu. Hail, hail to the champ." Touya said, sarcastically.
"Darn straight. And don't you forget it."
"Otousan 1, Oniichan-Zip!" Sakura shouted cheerfully.
"Anways, I gotta go. You know, shigoto calls."
"I thought you said you didn't have a job!?!?!" Sakura asked, shocked.
"I lied. Later kaiju, see you tomorrow Otousan."
"Take care of yourself Touya. Bye!"
Click!
"Come Sakura! We're gonna be late for the Snowflake Carnival!" Tomoyo shouted as she popped her head into the room. "Are you done?"
"Hai. Coming!" Sakura replied back. "Are you coming too Otousan?"
"Of course, I'll catch up with you kids later. Have a good time." Fujitaka answered.
"Thanks. See you soon!" Then before, running out the door with her friend at her side and Kero carefully stuffed in her hood, Sakura leaned forward and kiss Fujitaka on the cheek.
So what is it that you plan to do now, huh? His inner voice asked.
I made a promise right? And have I ever broken a promise before? Fujitaka thought back to himself as he began to get ready.
Hmm...let's see, memory check. Hmmm..good, good, good, excellent..
See?
Oh wait.
What?! What do you mean "wait"?
There is one promise you haven't checked.
And what promise is that?
The most important one!!!! Jeez, time for another memory flash back.
~Flashback~
"It was a great idea to come up here. It's so beautiful!" Nadeshiko exclaimed looking out the window at a young Touya and Sakura playing in the snow.
"I wanted to do something special for you and kids. Something for the memories." Fujitaka replied as he came up from behind Nadeshiko and wrapped his arms around her.
"The kids look like they're having fun, huh?"
Both watch in content as they saw Touya's attempt to make the biggest snowman in the world, but unfortunately only reached to his chin.
"I shall bwe the bweautiful pwrincess of this land." Sakura stated after she had successfully climbed a little tree stump, in her little chibi voice.
"Oh? And how beautiful do you intend to be?" Touya jested.
"As beautiful as Mommy is! And I shall rwule o-ver all the fairwees!" Sakura exclaimed holding up a stick as if it were a staff.
"Well then, your highness, here's a royal snow ball for the princess!" Within seconds, Touya had already hurled a huge snowball at her back.
"HEY!! Off with his head!!"
A snowball hurled back in Touya's direction, hitting him straight on his face.
"Fujitaka, umm- I need to talk to you." Nadeshiko said as she pulled him away from the window and towards a sofa.
"What's wrong?" Fujitaka asked as he followed and sat down in a chair next to her.
Trying hard to hide her sorrow, Nadeshiko forced on a smile. "Well, I can feel it, .... that's it almost .you know..that time."
"What?! No, it can't be almost time. Th-this is too soon." Fujitaka began to stutter as he jumped up from his spot and began to pace back and forth. "It wasn't enough time. It can't be true. Are you sure?" he asked but didn't even wait for an answer from her. "Oh my god, maybe we should've stayed home. Now we're gonna need an ambulance, a-a-a-a doctor, arg, I should've taken along my cell phone. This is too sudden!"
Nadeshiko leaned out a hand to reassure her husband. "Fujitaka, please.calm down. W-we both knew this would happen. I told you it would, when you asked me to marry you." She said in a calm voice. There was a silence moment between them, since neither knew what to say,..until Nadeshiko had a deep sigh and looked back up at Fujitaka with her sad leaf-green eyes.
"Do you regret it?" She asked in a small and almost quivering voice.
"What?!" Fujitaka spun around and looked Nadeshiko straight in her eyes in disbelief of what he was hearing.
"I said..do you regret marrying me?" She asked again, but this time, more slowly.
"NO!"
Fujitaka rushed over to her side on the chair and held her close "Not ever. What would make you even think of such a thing? You know I never could do that." He brought a hand up to her face, just to stroke her cheek.
"I know." Nadeshiko replied as she took both hands and wrapped them around the hand on her face. "I just-well seeing how upset you are now...I-I-I didn't want you to have regrets."
"Regets?!" he asked in showing a small smile. "Marrying you was the only thing I've ever done right in my life!"
"Really?" Nadeshiko asked as she looked up at him.
"Cross the heart I keep you in." Fujitaka answered as he bent his head down where they met for a sweet kiss. "I love you so much."
"I know you do. That's why I'm so thankful that I found you." Nadeshiko said back with her sweetest smile.
Then they both went outside to join Touya and Sakura in the biggest snow fight that lasted on endless hours.
And every time I close my eyes I thank the lord that That I've got you And you've got me too And every time I think of it I pinch myself cuz I don't believe it's true That someone like you Loves me too (Every Time I Close My Eyes-Babyface)
~*~* (later that night)
Fujitaka was sitting up in bed reading a book, while Nadeshiko sat next to him, with her head rested on his shoulder and her long wavy hair, plaited as it tumbled down the front of his shirt. It was nighttime and a crested moon was casting it's light, causing the falling snowflakes outside their window to have a heavenly glow and the world seemed to be at peace.
"Nadeshiko?" Fujitaka suddenly spoke up as he put down his book.
"What is it?"
"Do you remember what I said to you...on our wedding day?" he asked as he reached out for her hand. The sleeves of her pajamas covered half of her hand and stopped right where her ring was. He held her hand in his own, so that the two rings were touching.
"Of course I do.." Nadeshiko said softly. "I hear every time I wake up..every time you hold me like this..." she said as Nadeshiko took Fujitaka's right arm and brought it around herself. "Every time you tell me how much you love me..I remember..you said that you wouldn't stop loving me when death parts us.. That time itself would die along side with me, ...just so (yawn..) it couldn't change your love."
"I ju- I just wanted you stay longer with me, that's all. If I kept you too close, it's only because I wanted to keep you longer." Fujitaka replied back as he dropped a light kiss on her head.
Her voice suddenly grew sleepy and her eyes were slowly closing. Still, she forced them open. "I know. But just promise me this."
"Anything."
"Promise me...When I leave, you must try and move on."
"How do you expect me love anyone else but you?"
"I know you love me... And you always will. ...I'll always stay in your heart,... like you said. But I don't want you to be lonely...being alone...is the worse suffering...in the world..."
Fujitaka didn't answer. He just stroked her hair, simply enjoying the precious time he had left with his beloved.
"You will love again, .. I know you will." Nadeshiko answered softly. Then she smiled secretly, as if she knew something he didn't. "And who knows, maybe we'll even see each other again some day."
"You better go to sleep, tomorrow will be another long day." Then he reached over, turned out the lights, then slid down into the sheets.
I could stay awake Just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away and dreaming
"I love you.." she whispered. Her voice calm, and gently, like the wind.
I could spend my life In this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
"I love you too.."
I don't wanna close me eyes I don't wanna fall asleep Cause I'd miss you babe And I don't wanna miss a thing Cause even when I dream again The sweetest dream will never do I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Hours have past but still Fujitaka refused to close his eyes. All he wanted to do was lay there and listen to her soft and steady breathing.
I don't wanna miss one smile I don't wanna miss one kiss I just wanna be with you Right here with you, just like this I just wanna hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine Be forever in this moment For the rest of time
~End of Flashback~
You see what I mean? I never did keep your promise. How many years as it been?
I was just pinning my time. You know how much I loved her. Fujitaka thought back as he began to tie the laces on his boots.
Yes, but you know what they say. If you really do love her, then you have to let her go.
It hasn't exactly been easy.
Well where are you going?
Over to Kahimi's, remember I promised her I would take her to the carnival.
~*~*
Kahimi pulled her white turtle neck over her head her long straight hair into a long ponytail, as she prepared for a good booktail. And, as usual, whenever she did something, she would sing whatever song popped into her head at the moment.
Have you ever loved somebody so much It makes You cry Have you ever needed someone so bad You can't Sleep at night
Knock! Knock!
"Coming!" She threw her book down on the crouch and ran to the door.
The door swung open and there stood Fujitaka!
"Fujitaka! How are you?" Kahimi asked in a cheerful voice.
"First of all, I'm fine, how are you? Did you get enough rest?"
"Yes, I did. I took a quick nap after we got back. Thank you for asking."
"So.." Fujitaka said without thinking as he began to shuffle his feet in the cold snow.
Kahimi just smiled, seeing how this was the first time she had ever seen Fujitaka nervous. "So, what do I owe this honor of your presence?" She teased.
"Well, I thought we had a date." Fujitaka blurted out.
"What?" She was a little taken back by the sudden surprise. In fact, she even began to blush.
"Well, not an actually date, but don't you remember my promise?" he continued ask in a causal voice.
"Well, you don't have to keep it. Well, what I mean is-umm. I know you said that just to make me less worried, and..it worked. Besides, I'm sure you'd like to spend some time with Sakura. You don't need to worry about me. It's not like I'm the only one who hasn't been to a carnival, right?"
"Well, then...ummm." Fujitaka paused for a moment to decide what he should say next. "Well- I'm here and Sakura's not with me. Besides, she has an escort. I mean, you're not gonna make my long, tired-some, crusade over to your cabin be for nothing are ya?" Fujitaka joked.
Kahimi giggled.
So he decided to keep pushing his luck. "Come on, you know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it. Just give it a try."
"Well, since you put it that way. Hmmm...alright, but only for half an hour and then I'm coming straight back."
"Hey, you leave when you want to and I'll be happy to escort you back personally."
"Thank you, I'll be right back." With that, she disappeared inside the cabin and reappear with a scarf, and a long warm coat.
"Ready?"
"Yes, but there still one thing left."
"What is it?"
"Hmmm..now what's that phrase again?" She cocked her head to side and looked up while she tapped her finger against her chin, pretending to think. "Oh yes,...last one there is a rotten egg!!" Then she dashed ahead of Fujitaka toward the sparkling light and large Ferris wheel.
"Hey you cheated!!" Fujitaka shouted behind as he trailed after her.
~*~*
"Prepare to go down Hiiragizawa!" Syaoran smirked as he picked up the toy gun and aimed for the target.
"Oh?" Eriol asked, pretending to surprised. Then he also added, "Then I guess I better actually 'try' this time, huh?"
"Why don't you but your mouth where your game is?" Syaoran smirked back.
"Hoho, I have got to get this on video," Tomoyo declared as she took out her mini camera. "Who do you want to bid on Sakura?" But there was no answer. "Sakura?"
"Huh?" Sakura turned around.
"Are you alright?"
"Yea, I just well, thought that Otousan would be here by here. He said he would catch up later."
"Well, maybe he needed to do something first. I'm sure he'll show up soon."
"Hmm.." Sakura looked down at her shoes. "Maybe you're right. I just wish he would have some more fun. Usually around Valentine's Day, he always seems to be burying himself in work."
"But didn't you tell me that now that your dad is hanging out with Ms Noda right?"
"That's right."
"Then you don't need to worry about him so much." Tomoyo said brightly with a rather sly grin of her own.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, observing her friend very closely to see if she had another one of her schemes brewing in her head.
"And we have a tie!!!" A voice shouted from the shooting booth.
"Oh wow! I guess they both won." Tomoyo smiled at Sakura.
Suddenly, Syaoran walked up to the two of them. "Sakura, go ahead and pick one out."
"Reallly?! You mean it?" Sakura asked, her beautiful eyes big and shimmering. "Oh thank you Syaoran!" Then she tip-toed up(since he was so tall) and gave he a kiss on the cheek.
Crimson red soon spread over Syaoran's face as he tried to hide it.
"You too, Tomoyo." Eriol said, looking down at her.
"Oh.and I suppose you would want a kiss too, am I right?" Tomoyo asked, giving Eriol that all-knowing look.
"I can dream, can't I?" Eriol smirked with a big grin.
"Then keep dreaming." Tomoyo teased.
But Eriol didn't look hurt. "Then I guess you would be, what they call a dream-come true," he whispered softly.
"Oh please!" Syaoran yelled out of exasperation. "I could do better."
Tomoyo smiled. "I know you could, but that's for Sakura. For me, that's good enough." Then she turned back to Eriol, who instantly bent down for his kiss, which Tomoyo was glad to give. Then she too, walked over to Sakura, who had finished deciding which stuff animal to get.
"Did you decide yet Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yep! I decided to get this." There, in Sakura's arms, was a large amber wolf, with flickering dark eyes.
"If you ask me, it's looks a bit like our Syaoran here, don't you think?" Eriol asked, rising one eyebrow.
Syaoran just instantly shot him the death glare.
"What did you get Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"Well I wasn't sure since there are so many cute ones,...but I made up my mind. I decided to get this." She revealed a midnight blue cat with orange ears, orange nose, and the tip of the tail was orange as well.
"If you ask me, that cat looks a bit like you Eriol." Syaoran smirked back, remembering when Sakura was caught in Wonderland.
Eriol just shot his own Cheshire cat grin back at Syaoran.
"Hey, Sakura! Isn't that your dad?" Tomoyo asked, pointing behind Sakura.
All four of them spun around to see Fujitaka and Kahimi walking towards them.
"Hey kids, how are you?" Fujitaka asked calmly, as he approached them.
""We're fine, nice to see you Sir," Eriol replied in his gentleman manner.
"Ms Noda!" Sakura and Tomoyo exclaimed.
"How are you girls doing? Are you having fun?" Kahimi asked back with a pretty smile.
"Yes! What about you? What have you been doing?" Sakura asked back.
"Well, seeing how this is my first time to a carnival, your father was kind enough to show me around. In fact, just right now, I just beat him in bumper cars!"
"Wow! If you beat Kinomoto-san, you must be really good Ms Noda." Tomoyo complimented.
"Yes, now I owe her a present." Fujitaka said proudly, as if it was nothing to be ashamed of. (what a good sport he is!)
"Oh, no! You don't have to that. It was just a little bet for fun, that's all."
"Nevertheless, I am a man of my word." Fujitaka persisted.
Then Sakura suggested, "Otousan, you should try the shooting arcade. They have very good prizes."
"Okay, why not?"
They all watched with great interest as Fujitaka picked up the gun. The point of the game was aim, and speed. The usual 10 points ducks would swim back and forth, in 5 different rows, but there was a bonus duckling somewhere close to the bottom. The problem, beside it being small and covered by the other bigger ducks, was that you had to hit right before it gets to an opening certain spot.
"GO!"
Bang! Bang!
Two ducks went down on the first second.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Five more ducks were shot.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In about a minute, Fujitaka already had about 50 points.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, there was a different sound that came up.
DING!
"Hey, he did! He hit the bonus duck!" Syaoran exclaimed. Neither Eriol or him were even able to accomplish that.
"You never told us your father could shoot Sakura!" Eriol said in surprised that someone could be that skilled.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
More ducks went down.
"And TIME!"
"That was great Otousan!!" Sakura squealed.
"You were amazing! Where did you learn to shoot like that?" Kahimi asked in disbelief.
"Well, you know, it comes and goes," Fujitaka replied casual, playing it cool.
"Congratulations Sir. You got the top score. Here's your prize." Then the man handed Fujitaka a bag, instead of a stuff animal. "It's a music box, but I thought you wouldn't want it to break, so I already put it in a box for you." The man kindly explained.
"Thank you very much."
Then Fujitaka turned to Kahimi.
"Your Majesty." He said, bowing. "I give you, your present."
Kahimi laughed at his little joke. But she decided to play along. "Thank you good Sir, that will be all."
"Hey Tomoyo! Look, there's a singing contest." Eriol said pointing over to his right at a lighted up stage. "Let's enter."
"Okay! Sakura, Syaoran, are you coming?"
"Sure! What about you Otousan? Ms Noda?" Sakura asked turning to the two adults.
"That's a great idea. Kahimi, you have a great voice, you should enter!" Fujitaka suggested.
"Well..."
"Please? For me?" Then he pulled out the puppy eyes and pouted look. (Gasp! He used the "for me" quote. Hint, hint. =^-^=)
"Sigh...okay for you. But only because you got me this music box."
"Great come on!" Then he grabbed her hand and started to pull her towards the stage leaving the four behind, a little puzzled.
"Hey! Wait up!" Sakura shouted as she ran right after them, with the rest of gang behind.
~*~* (you guys noticed that Fujitaka was holding her hand. =^-~=)
"Alright, give it up for those two! What a voice!!"
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Tomoyo and Eriol stepped off the stage, after a stunning performance together, singing Some Day We'll Know (Walk to Remember soundtrack).
"That was great Tomoyo!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Thanks Sakura-chan. But I thought yours was better."
Before Tomoyo and Eriol went, Sakura and Syaoran had also sung a duet together. Their song was In the Beginning (Anastasia Soundtrack).
"And now, we have our very last contestant!"
"Good luck." Fujitaka whispered to Kahimi.
"Thanks!" She replied back with a smile.
"Let's give it up for her!!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
"H-hello everyone." Kahimi said nervously as she sat down on the stool in front of the mike. "I would like to this dedicate this to all my new students whom I enjoy teaching so much. And especially to my new friend, Umm-just considered this a message from your lost one."
What if I told you It was all meant to be Would you believe me? Would you believe It's almost a feeling That we've met before So don't tell me that I'm crazy When I tell you love is here now
Her voice was sweet and seemed flowing in a way. Sounding almost angelic. Fujitaka was standing on the side, watching her sing.
A moment like this So people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this
The stage was outside and the skies were so clear up in the mountains. So the starry night opened up and it looked as if a moonbeam was cast down to where Kahimi was sitting, like an open stage for the universe to hear.
Everything changes But beauty remains Something so tender I can't explain Well I may be dreaming But still I'm awake Can't we make the dream last forever And I'll cherish all the love That we share
Her eyes themselves, seemed to match the color of the heavenly stars, holding all her secrets. And the way they would shine when she smiled, they seemed to reflect all the beauty in the world.
A moment like this So people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime For a moment Like this
Could this be the rainbow? I wanna know that you will catch me When I fall So let me tell you this Some people wait a lifetime For a moment
A moment like this So people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people search forever For that one special kiss Oh I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment
For some strange reason, Fujitaka didn't know why,.. but the air around Kahimi went hazy and light. And there seemed to be no one else around them.
Like this
But suddenly an image of Nadeshiko, and she was standing where Kahimi was, just flashed before his eyes. Fujitaka double blinked to make sure he wasn't just seeing things. But everything looked normal.
APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
~*~*
We get almost every night
When that moon is big and bright It's a supernatural delight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
"I still cannot believe, how unbelievable you were!!! That was the most incredible thing I have ever heard." Fujitaka said in disbelief. They were both sitting down on a bench, tying the laces of their ice skates. In front of them, was the large pond, completely frozen people gliding across the water, as wires of hung lights glowed above them.
Everybody here is out of sight They don't bark And they don't bite They keep their cool to keep it tight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
"Oh, well thank you very much Fujitaka-san. I'm glad you enjoyed." Kahimi replied, a bit shyly, as she turned red from the embarrassment.
"Well, thank you for the tickets. You should've kept them to yourself, I mean I can go the movies anytime." Fujitaka shrugged.
"Well, it was the least I could do for that music box you got me. Plus I thought it would be nice for you and your family to spend some time together." Kahimi replied.
"Well, there are four tickets, and three of us in the family..soooooo...why don't you come with us?" Fujitaka asked eagerly.
"Oh no! I wouldn't want to intrude on a family outing. I couldn't, it would feel completely wrong." Kahimi spoke up quickly.
"Hey, the more the merrier. Besides I know the kids won't mind."
Then Fujitaka stood up and held out his hand. "May I have this dance? Well, I mean this skate?"
Dancing in the moonlight Everybody's Feeling warm and bright It's such a fine, romantic sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Kahimi giggled. Then she promptly stood up as well, coming up to his chin and accepted his hand.
We like our fun and we never fight You can't dance and stay uptight It's a super natural delight Everybody was dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight Everybody's Feeling warm and bright It's such a fine, romantic sight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight Everybody's Feeling warm and bright It's such a fine, romantic sight Everybody's dancing in the moonlight (Dancing in the Moonlight-Toploader (A Walk to Remember Soundtrack)
