Chapter 3: Shared Dreams

**********Six Months Later**********

~Kira Dream Sequence~

It was early morning and Kira sat at her desk writing in her diary, as she did every morning before she started her day.

Dear Diary,

It has been six months since I left the hospital and moved in
with Tatsuya. I still remember nothing of my past, but I have
made many new memories with Tatsuya. He is the sweetest guy that
I have ever known, (at least I think he is.) and he has given my
life some meaning. I believe that with every moment I spend with
him, I begin to care for him more and more. I don't know if this
is the beginnings of love or a rekindling of a past romance. All
I know is that being with him feels right.

~Kira

As Kira closed her diary she looked out of her bedroom
window. Looking around the yard she noticed a man sitting under
a tree in a far off corner. Curiosity got the best of her and so
she made her way outside to see who this man was and what he was
doing in her yard.

"Uh...excuse me sir?" Hearing her voice the man looked up.
Kira was for a brief moment stunned by the beautiful man. He had
long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. His face was chiseled
and manly, yet it contained a boyish softness. Realizing that
she was staring at him Kira blushed and looked down at her feet.

"I am sorry for staring so, it's just that you are so
beautiful." She timidly explained.

"God Kira, I have missed the sound of your voice so much.
Come sit with me and tell me how you've been."

"Uh...I umm...who are you and how do you know me?" The man
looked up and Kira saw tears come to his eyes.

"You've forgotten me Kira. How could you, I thought you
loved me. What ever happened to forever?" That said he stood up
and walked away from her. Kira chased after the man, trying to
catch up to him. It seemed like the faster she ran the farther
away he got.

Tears came to her eyes as she looked off in the distance
and watched the man disappear. She fell to her knees with her
face in her hands. Crying as if her world had just come to an
end she called out for him. "REI! Don't go...Please don't leave
me."

~End of Dream~

When Kira came to she was lying in her bed. Remembering the man
she ran to her window and looked out into the yard.

"Darn! It was just a dream." Disheartened she made her way to
Tatsuya's room to demand some answers.

~Tatsuya Dream Sequence~

Hearing the back door slam Tatsuya woke up and made his way
downstairs. In the past six months since he has lived with Kira
she has often gotten up and walked about while still in a state
of slumber. Opening the screen door he found Kira out back in
her night clothes holding a conversation with a tree. Laughing
to himself he called out to her.

"Kira, why don't you come on in and I'll make you some
breakfast."

Apparently she did not hear him, for as he made his way onto the
back porch she began to run as if the devil were on her heels.

"KIRA!!! What is wrong with you? Where in the world are you
going?"

To this he received no reply. When he was close enough to reach
out for her arm she called out to Rei. As she begged Rei not to
leave her, Tatsuya could feel his heart breaking over and over
again. He closed his eyes in hope of subduing the pain and
holding back a current of tears. He stood frozen in place for
what seemed like an eternity, and he would have stood there
forever more if not for the rain that began to spill forth from
the heavens.

~End of Dream~

Tatsuya opened his eyes to find Kira with a glass of water
poised over his head.

"What in the hell are you doing?"

"I have to talk to you and you wouldn't wake up when I called
for you or when I nudged your shoulder." Kira giggled as Tatsuya
snatched the glass of water out of her hand and slammed it down
on his night table.

"Now tell me what was so urgent that it possessed you to dump
water over my head." He said in an exasperated tone.

Kira had a slight frown upon her lips as she looked directly
into his eyes. "Who is Rei?"

next one. Please review and give me some ideas of how you would
like this story to continue. I pretty much know where I want to
go with things, but I am open to anything.~
