Chapter Two
Author's Notes: Okay here is Chapter two, hope you like this fic.
A good ways away from the camp I sat down on the ground and looked upat the moon. It had been a while since I had been able to actually have time alone. The moon seemed peaceful tonight but it always looking that way when it was full. The sound of a twig snapping surprised me and I turned my head to see if anyone was there. It was the runt, standing there looking at me.
I glared at him, "Don't scare me like that!" Toboe yelped at my words and frowned. Noticing his frown I felt bad for snapping at him. He was too innocent to be snapped at but he didn't have to scare me like that.
"Can I join you?" he asked me.
For a couple of seconds I was silent. Why would he want to join me in staring at the moon? He should be resting with the others, not spending time with me. I have said so many mean things to him and yet...and yet... I blinked a couple of times before looking back up at the moon, "Sure kid."
He sat down beside me and looked at me with curious eyes. "Tsume?"
I looked at him, "What is it?"
He smiled, "You look different when the moon shines down on you."
Uh, thanks I guess," I replied blushing a little. He giggled which made me glare at him.
"Tsume, there is something that I want to tell you. I didn't want to tell you around Kiba and Hige, they might think I am foolish," Toboe said.
My eyes softened some, "What is it you want to tell me?"
"Tsume, ever since I met you you made me feel happy and protected. The only time I felt that way was when Nanny took care of me. But the feeling I have for you is stronger, I love you," he said which made my heart skip a beat. This was the first time someone had ever told me that they loved me. What did I do to be loved? Before I could reply he crawled in front of me and kissed me. It was strange to have his lips against mine and I didn't know what to do. I pushed him away and got up quickly.
"Sorry, Toboe but I can't love you back. I am not fit for this love stuff, it is just how I am," I told him which now I knew I shouldn't have said. I noticed those sweet, innocent eyes show sadness in them. Tears rolled down his cheeks, but he wiped them away quickly. He got up and looked at me sadly before running back to camp. I said nothing, no words came out of my mouth to stop him.
