Forever In Our Hearts

Chapter Five: Lost

I just realized something. If I post all of the chapters I've typed so far all at one, then ... You kids won't send me reviews saying "Write more Kitty, we love you!" (Not like you would anyway -.-) So I thought it would be a good idea if I waited a few days before adding a new chapter. Another reason is because you kids won't have anything to read by me while I'm writing more of a different fic, you know? So, I won't upload anymore chapters for a few days after this one, but don't worry, there's lots more chapters.

Anyway. Here's Chappie Five!

"Where am I?"I thought to myself. "Maybe I should just stay here until someone finds me ... No, I have to make it to the next city. It's this way ... I think."

I sat down in the grass, I had been walking for hours. "What am I doing? I should have just went to Purite and Kit's cabin ... None of this would have happened if he hadn't been so mean. Who does he think he is anyway? Being so nice, and then telling me that I wasn't allowed to love him

I smiled. "It's too late now anyway."

I felt a raindrop hit my head. "Wonderful." I thought as more and more droplets fell from the stormy clouds above.

I stood up and began to walk, in hope of getting out of the rain.

It was getting cold and the rain was getting worse. I continued on, now running. I stopped to look at the marks on the trees then everything went black.

I woke up with the sunlight blinding me, it was bright outside. I coughed, looking around the interior of the cabin that I shared with Ryo.

"Chihiro?" I heard Purite say.

"Purie?" I sneezed.

"Do you remember what happened?" She asked.

"I ran into the forest and it was raining." I said, telling her what I remembered.

Purite smiled. "Ryoichi felt bad and went to look for you. Eventually, he found you laying in the woods unconscious, and he carried you back here, only you two both got sick from being out in the rain."

"How long ago was this?"

"Two days ago." She said. "And Ryoichi hasn't been up since."

"Oh."

"I have to go level with Hatori now." She told me. "Will you be okay here by yourself. You shouldn't go since you're still sick."

"I'll stay here with Ryo." I replied.

"Okay." She said and left the cabin.

I got up and locked the door to the cabin, then walked over to Ryo's bed and looked at him, then put my hand on his forehead. He was sick. I slid under the navy blue blanket and placed my head on his pillow, and moments later, I fell asleep.

Hours later, I felt Ryo roll over, I looked at him and saw his emerald eyes open slowly.

"Hi." I said gently.

"How long was I asleep?"

"Two days." I told him.

"Chi?" He murmured

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry." He told me. "I just don't want to get you in trouble."

"It's okay." I told him.

"I have to get ready." I said, sitting up.

I placed my hand on his arm. "Purite told them we were sick. They're not going to be angry. They know what's going on."

"But I have to. We get more Swordsmen today." His eyes met mine. "I have to be there."

"Ryo ... It's okay. You're sick." I smiled

"But Chihiro."

I blinked. "But I stayed here just to be with you."

He sighed. "Fine. You win."

"Yay." I said softly.

He smiled.

"You went to look for me?" I asked him.

He nodded.

"Why?"

"Because I love you." He said to me.

I blushed. "But you said --"

"I know." He told me. "But I can't help it."

"It's because I'm so loveable." I smiled.

"Yeah."

"I'm going to go take a shower." I said and got up.
