Chapter Three.
Her heart was beating a mile a minute, she slowly looked up towards his face, she was up to his nose, any farther and their eyes would meet.
She bit her lip, this man… this man… it was him…! She knew it was him, she could feel it, but… the trap! Her eyes widened.
She closed her eyes, she felt a tear streak down her face, she lifted her head so that she would see his eyes when she opened hers.
"…Kaoru…"
Her eyes popped open at the sound of him using her name again, her mouth went completely dry.
"It's you, it's really you…!" his eyes were lowered, he looked up, his beautiful purple eyes met her fiery blue and their eyes locked. He leaned forward, his hand on her chin.
She could feel his breath on her lips, his just barely brushed against hers.
"I lov-" He was cut off by the sound behind them, he spun around, sword drawn.
