The Dawn of the Moonlight Witch

-------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 2 :: Sharing the Same tears

The witch fell to her knees crying. Yurki slowly walked up, kneeling down to hold her. "Yurki this is all my fault!!" She screamed as she cried against his chest. Yurki held her gently in his sturdy, yet broad arms. "Akri...you had nothing to do with this." he said, attempting to sooth her, but she still cried against him. He pulled her away from his body, and placed his hands on her shoulders. He wiped the tears from her cheeks, and looked into her eyes. He held her again and Akri had stopped crying over the death of her guardian a few minutes later, and she was now calm. Who could have known he could calm her so easily? Yurki offered his hand to help her up, and she accepted it. They walked up the street together, hand in hand, yet Akri was paying more attention her feet then where she was going.

Something wasn't right. Akri was out of it, and she had a perfectly good reason to be. But she was depressed. Not just over Demiss' death, but of something else, too, and he could see when he looked in her eyes. Even if Akri is a witch, there is no way she could have prevented it. He sighed as they reached they're hotel. He and Akri took the stairs to the second floor, and unlocked they're room. They closed the door behind them, and Akri walked over to the door, opened it, and walked onto the balcony. She leaned against the railing, and looked at the busy street. Yurki sat on the first of the two double beds. He looked at her, in time to see her sigh and hang her head. Yurki walked out again, and took her hand. He pulled her inside, and sat down with her on one of the beds. He held her for a few minutes, trying to sooth her, trying to calm her down, to cheer her up. Yurki pulled her silver hair out of her face, and tucked it behind her ears. He looked at her longingly, like there was something he wanted. She paused. She was confused, she didn't know what he wanted. She knew he was trying to ask her for something, but what could it be? She blinked at him, and she put her hands on his. She looked at their hands, and up to his eyes. She placed a hand on his shoulder, and she smiled. She leaned towards him, slowly, and she pressed her lips against his as she kissed him. Yurki placed a hand on the back of her head, and one of her waist, and pulled her towards him.

"Quit joking Robin, its been sealed for one thousand years, its not going to open anytime soon. So take your little detective game and go play somewhere else. Stop wasting my time." A man sitting at the desk yelled at Robin. Robin slammed her hands onto the desk, knocking off files on the Moonlight Witch. "This is no game!!!" She yelled back at him. "Robin, she's a witch, she's supposed to live for a longer time then us." he said, picking up what Robin knocked off. "Not nine hundred years longer!!" Robin picked up a stack of files, and threw them against the wall. "Robin, you can't possibly want me to do something about it. I'm just an old man, I can't do anything." She looked at him. "You're an old man who killed a one hundred ninety year old witch single handedly. I think you can take on a one thousand year old girl with every other witch hunter." The man finished picking up the records. "Alright then, Robin. You have yourself a deal." She took her rose. "Thank you, Gyinx." She said as she closed the door behind her.

Akri was sitting on a bench, in a park. Judging from the light, it appeared to be early in the morning. Yurki was slowly walking up to her, and he sat down next to her. Akri looked at him. Her blue eyes reflecting her emotions as she looked at his eyes. Yurki scanned her eyes too, searching them for what she was trying to ask him. Akri looked down at her hands, tears slowly crawling down her cheeks. Yurki raised her head up, and kissed her on the lips. Demiss was looking at the two of them through bushes. Demiss was grinding his teeth together tightly. Demiss was holding a pistol in his hands. He aimed for Yurki's forehead, and pulled the trigger. Yurki fell against the back of the bench dead. Akri screamed looking at the body, and Demiss ran to her from behind the bush. He grabbed her hand, and pulled her against his chest, and kissed her passionately on the the lips. When the kiss broke, Demiss attempted to kiss her again, but Akri pushed him away.

"Demiss! Stop! What's gotten into you?" she asked, her blue eyes shining with tears.

"Akri...you're mine. Yurki won't be in our way anymore."

He tried to kiss her again, but again Akri shoved him away.

"So you killed him? You killed him?"

"How else was I suppose to get him out of our way?"

Demiss tried again, and when Akri attempted to push him away, he grabbed her hand, and pulled her to another bench. She fell onto his lap as he sat down, and he kissed her.

Akri closed her eyes, and blinked. She was in the hotel room, and Yurki was sleeping in the bed next to her. "A....dream?" she asked herself. She managed to blast to full wakefulness under the shower, and she dried off and slipped on her clothes. She grabbed her hotel key, and quietly shut the door after she left the room. She walked down the stairs into the breakfast diner, and sat down at a two-seater table. A waiter walked up to her. "Would you like anything?" he asked. "Can I just get a small glass of water?" he nodded, and she looked at the doors to the diner, and Yurki walked in. The waiter returned, bringing her water. Yurki sat down, and she took a sip. The two of them were very quiet, and when Akri finished, they got up and checked out of the hotel. They got a taxi to the next hotel they were going to, and Akri was silent the whole trip. She never told Yurki about her dream, though he knew something was wrong with her.

They got out of the taxi when they arrived at the hotel. Yurki paid him, and they took their luggage and checked in. They took the elevator up to the fourth floor. They dragged their luggage to their room, unlocked it, and set their suit cases in a corner. Yurki walked onto the balcony, and stared at the street. Akri followed, and looked too.

Akri's eyes widened.

There's chapter two! I guess this chapter proves this story is more of a romance/drama story then a suspense/tragedy, but whatever. It was indeed longer then last chapter, by far, and I hope you enjoyed it! Please Review if you liked it. Chapter three will be up soon, so check back.
