Ch.2. – Good Bye...

That night Kaoru was out in her balcony as she looked at the full moon that was shining bright as the sun was in the morning. Then she had made a decision to run away and never come back. She had packed things she would need on her journey. As she sneaked out she went to the stable to get her horse. Then a familiar voice caught her ears. "Lady Kaoru... are you planning to run away?" As Kaoru looked back she saw Sakura with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry Sakura, but this is the only way, I don't wanna get married to someone I don't love." Answered Kaoru. "I see... well if this is the only way then I shall keep it a secret, but where are you planning to stay?" asked Sakura. "I don't know yet... I might make a camp by the lake where that I always see out in my balcony." "I see...well then at least take this with you." As Sakura took out a small pouch she handed the pouch to Kaoru. "Sakura, what is this?" asked Kaoru. "Its some gold, just incase you needed it to buy stuff..." answered Sakura. "I...I can't take this Sakura, I mean you barely make any money while working. I can't take this." As Kaoru refused, Sakura shook her head saying it was okay for her. As Kaoru took the pouch she gave Sakura a hug before she got on the horse. Before Kaoru was gonna leave, Sakura gave her a necklace. "This necklace was given to me by my mother before she passed away when I was little... I always kept it as a good luck charm and now I want you to have it for good luck." "Thank you Sakura." Said Kaoru as she gave her one last smile and left the castle vanishing into the darkness of the forest.
