He ran over to the couch. Kegawa looked up to him with a faint smile on her face. She was still so thin and weak looking, but the strength was back in her green eyes.
" You're alive."
"The moon it was out last night wasn't it?"
" Yes, why?"
" The moon is what gave me back my strength. It was what has kept me alive most of this time as well. The collar gave me immortality, but the moon is what heals me. That is why I recovered, so fast the first time you found me."
Tsume was at a loss for words at the moment. He just took her hand and held it.
" I'm glad you did heal becasue if you," He was interruped by her finger on his lips.
" Please, don't." she moved her eyes away from his.
"My past,"
She sat up a little a small moan of struggle escaped her lips.
"If you wish to tell me. I will listen to every word you say."
She nodded.
" There was a flower maiden that I was protecting. Her name was Sasami." she looked out the window and sighed to herself, then she continued.
" I remember we were watching the moon rise and the stars were brighter then they had ever been. I nudged her hand gently she just smiled at me. I told her I would always protect her. I do not know where she is now, but I wish I could find her again. See her and Darcia's smiling faces once more. Just for one day I would be happy. Sasami was very kind to me. Her and Darcia were the only people I ever wanted to protect, but it all fell down. I know you hate him, Tsume. I just wish you didn't hate me that way." tears filled her eyes.
He didn't know what to say, but Kegawa touched his face gently with tears streaming down her face. Her fingers gently fell upon his lips. She smiled and kissed him softly. Kegawa fell out of the bed, landing on him. He kissed her back now.
" I can sense the hate in your heart for me, but I want to protect you with every little bit of strength I have. Just like I did for Sasami and Darcia so long ago."
He laid a hand on her head and she fell asleep on his chest. Tsume looked at her an odd smile on his face.
" I don't hate you." he whispered as moon rays gently danced through the window, he closed his eyes and dozed off too.
" You're alive."
"The moon it was out last night wasn't it?"
" Yes, why?"
" The moon is what gave me back my strength. It was what has kept me alive most of this time as well. The collar gave me immortality, but the moon is what heals me. That is why I recovered, so fast the first time you found me."
