Chapter 5

I think everyone was right. I had no reason to be afraid of this place. Everyone was just so loving and caring. Not like it was at home. At home I could barely even get a square meal. At least people love me here. They treat me like I'm somebody.

But soon I started to think that something was wrong. I was starting to think that someone might find me here at take me home. But I knew that this was nonsense. I thought the same thing a couple nights ago and nothing happened. Everything was fine.

That morning Paris was by my side. I was happy to see him there since we had made love last night. I was afraid that he would leave me. But he promised to love me forever. We would never leave each other's side forever.

"Good morning,"he said as he kissed me.

I smiled. "Good morning."

"God you're so beautiful."

"Thank you."

He kissed me again. "You know what?"

"What Paris?"

"Andromache was right. I am fond of you."

"You heard our conversation didn't you?!"

He smiled and kissed me.

"That's very funny Paris."

"Oh come now. I didn't hurt anything now did I?"

I sighed and smiled. "No. I guess no."

He kissed me again. "I only said that because I love you."

"And you had better not break that promise."

"You know I won't."

"Good."

I looked into his eyes. Something wasn't right.

"What is it?"

"What?"

"Something's wrong."

He sighed and smiled. "No. Everything's fine."

"Are you sure?"

He kissed me. "Yes I'm sure."

"Paris,please tell me if something's wrong."

"Nothing is wrong Kikyo.I promise you."

"Ok. I'm sorry."

He kissed me again. "I promised I wouldn't leave you."

"Thank you."

"We had better go downstairs. They're waiting for us."

"I'll be down in a minute. You can go on ahead with out me."

"All right." He got dressed and kissed me. "I'll be waiting for you." He smiled and walked out of the room.

Get a hold of yourself Kikyo,I thought. Everything's going to be fine. Paris made a promise to you and he's going to keep it. You need him now. He's the only one you have. You have to make sure that he doesn't leave you or something might happen. You don't want him to go off meeting another woman do you?

"Lady Kikyo?"it was Andromache.

"Yes m'lady?"

"Are you all right?"

Did I have to tell the truth? Did I want to tell the truth? "No. I'm not."

"What's wrong?"

"Tell me the truth... Does Paris love another woman?"

"I don't know Kikyo. Why would you think that?"

"Because my heart keeps telling me that I should give up now. That I should give up before my heart is broken."

"Paris loves you Kiyko. You know that."

I nodded. "Right. I know. I guess I'm just thinking stupid things then. Thank you."

"Is that all?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"All right then,"and she left the room.

Oh who the hell am I kidding? He's in love with another woman and won't tell me,I thought. This is just typical Paris.
