Chapter 7: The Moon Shines on Her Face

The two former couples walked, they kept on talking…smiles on both faces and hearts were both warm. Kaoru couldn't help control her self, there were seconds that their hands would brush against each other. And as that happens, Shinta would beg his pardon and look forward as he walked smartly. Behind him, those blue eyes would sorrow, want to cry but then a set of violet eyes would search for it and then would try to bring happiness.

"It's night, Kaoru-dono." He told her, "Aren't you going to go home yet?"

Kaoru wanted to cry, she just remembered something from the past. When Shinta was still Kenshin, and they were both still single, they were friends…arguing about a lot of things. Students wished them to be together, most of them prayed for it. Whenever Kenshin would talk to her, say her name and all…her name would end with a grateful and sincere word. But then days have passed and he didn't call her with that name anymore…they were a couple already. Kaoru asked for it, to stop calling her like that and just simply call her 'Kaoru.' Students rejoiced on that situation and supported them a lot.

It bothers her…calling her Kaoru-dono made her feel like…they were friends again. But it was true, they already broke up years ago…but…why? But why does she feel this way? Kamiya Kaoru couldn't understand herself perfectly…someday she must.

"Oh…umm…what time is it by the way?" she asked, trying not to brush off her eyes, it will make Shinta think that she's crying…for some reason he may not know. Taking a quick look at his watch, he read the time and then faced her, opening his mouth to tell time. "It's 8: 57 pm." He answered.

"I see…" mumbling, she searched for something on the ground, scratching her boot against the park floor. Shinta looked at her, teasing her with his watery smile. "Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked, trying to catch the sapphire in her eyes. She noticed it and then jumped when she saw those calm purple orbs looking at her back. She gave a fain gasp, a matter of a confused reply.

Shinta sighed and then repeated the previous question, this time, Kaoru was listening. "Never mind, Shinta." She replied, "I'm fine with myself." His face questioned and then threw another smile. "Nah. I'll just walk you home." He cut through.

Those eyes opened, revealing a sleepy peak and then searched for the woman he loved somewhere. Getting up, he made a rush to the bathroom and then dressed in his best when he realized that she was gone.

He was about to topple over when he ran to the stairs and then to the kitchen, his pants were becoming rapid. Head looking to the left and then the right, those chocolate brown eyes finally spotted a piece of paper stuck on the refrigerator. Taking it with shaky hands, his eyes beaded and then crumpled it after.

"So this is where you live." He commented, "It's just a few blocks from ours…wow.' Kaoru looked at Shinta, she was to smile, laugh or grin but then something was stopping her. There was like someone behind that door…something tells her that something was wrong…something.

"So umm…goodnight?" he asked, not knowing what to say…damn he was confused! He hid a smile under a bitten lip and then peeped in between his bangs to Kaoru. Kaoru looked back, a smile on her face, she dared to…whatever happens. "Yeah…goodnight." She said back. 'Just like the old days, huh?'

Nodding, he walked off, looking cool as he really was and then came to a halt when he heard a sweet voice call his name. Looking back, he hid another smile, keeping it in his heart. "Yes, Kaoru-dono?" he asked, looking cool as he spoke. Kaoru had her hand lifted up high and then brought it down at an instant when he finally caught her attention. "Umm…thanks for the walk…it was much appreciated." She bid him goodbye. He grinned under his shadow, and then walked off, and then skipped.

Kaoru spun on her heel, and then grabbed the doorknob, pulling it to get enough balance. She pulled the house keys out of her pocket and then slotted one of them in the keyhole. Just as she was to turn the key, she heard it click, meaning someone opened the door for her. Shocked, she wondered who could it be.

"Kaoru…I have to ask you something."

Only a weak gasp escaped from her lips, her eyes widened and her heart thumped fast. How come he's not on work this time?

A pair of strong and angry hands grabbed her shoulders and then pulled her in, then shutting the door in an angry manner. Kaoru was shocked, what was that for? She wished to ask but then when her eyes met those angry glares, she gulped…what is he mad for?

He pushed her to the sofa, and then settle down with her for a moment. Kaoru couldn't speak, her lips were trembling and she was thinking that Sano is about to do something…worse.

"Kaoru…" he began, trying to catch her eyes. He didn't want her to get scared or freak out, he just want an honest answer. "Who were you with? Just now…heard someone talking with you."

Kaoru couldn't open her mouth to answer, there was something stuck in her throat. If she would tell Sano that she was with Kenshin, then he would get mad, struck her an angry glare and then shot her some questions…Since she couldn't answer, she looked at the ground, wanting to close her eyes and then waited for his next reaction. Sano noticed some fear that glittered in her eyes, maybe he was too rough on her. Just to make her calm, he took her hand and then clasped on it, giving her a smile. "Kaoru…tell me." he told her calmly, "I'm your fiancé and…and I'm worried." Kaoru looked at Sano, and then understood clearly what he meant. Softly as she could, she opened her mouth and then gave her loved one a smile. "Sano…please don't get mad at me." she told him, "You'll be surprised when I-"

Sano's eyes opened wide, what is she talking about? Did she have someone she loves? A firm grip on her hand made her feel that he was angry…shocked or surprised. "Who?" he asked, wanting to know. "Who were you with?"

Tears formed in her eyes, she was scared but he has to know. "I…I was…I saw him Sano." She whimpered. "I saw him…we talked…we…w-we walked together."

"Who?"

"It's him, Sano…Kenshin."

He let go of her hand, and then stood up. His face was slapped by what he heard...he couldn't believe it. "Kaoru. That was five years ago…this is now." He talked back. "And why talk to him, Kaoru?"

"Sano." She stood up, "Why are you mad at me? I was just asking how he is and also the upcoming wedding."

"Kaoru! Are you nuts?"

"Sano-"

"I'm his bestfriend and he will think that I betrayed him!"

"It was my wish! It was my wish to love you, Sano!"

Sano felt his jaw go silent. It was true, Kaoru wished him to love her and he did. It was five years ago…she asked for a kiss…to forget all. "There nothing he can do." Kaoru mumbled. Looking back at her, he wished to speak but then Kaoru raced him…it was important. "Plus…he's got amnesia." It silenced him more even…shaking his head in confusion, he left her in the sofa and then made his way up the stairs. Kaoru looked at the ground, did she say something so bad? She knows that this man is Kenshin's bestfriend but then…he has amnesia, meaning that Kenshin would forget him as his bestfriend…and also her as his former girlfriend.

Shinta skipped happily, he was able to meet a friend. Happy and contented he was, he entered his home and then tiptoed to his room so that he won't be able to wake up his sleeping sister. As he entered his room, he sighed happily as he lied on his bed…he hasn't felt this kind of feeling yet. Maybe he was inlove…maybe he was…

Shaking his head off, he could feel his cheeks tint and his lips pull into a smile. Hands folded behind his head as an improvised pillow, he sighed a laugh and then stared at the window.

Moon.

Again, it was the moon. It was beautiful…

The dark night sky…and the shade of blue that gave the moon's blush…it fitted perfectly to her appearance…

Her image smiled at the window, cheerfully laughing and then trying to pull him somewhere…something big. That big thing was something he didn't like to ride on but then he has to go. It brought him many memories…and that was were they first kissed…

He got up, his face covered in sweat balled into beads. He looked at the window, and then began to recognized that all those things was just a dream. It could be his future…it could be his past….but whatever it is, he doesn't remember having it before. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he tried to sit comfortably and then took off his coat. Again, it bothered him…even it was just a dream, there could be something that's important to it. A headache brewed to his forehead, it was mild, could be left alone but then it grew chronicly. He began to massage the sides of his head, it may help ease the pain but then it worsen. Trying to stand up, he felt his knees grow weak but then he has to fight it…he has to go out and search for something….medicine. yes! He has to grab a pill and then let it fight the headache away…but he can't…it's hard to walk.

'Damn this…hea…head-a-ache…'

He couldn't think straight…later he found out that he was slopped on the floor. Lying down there as his hand was stretched out towards the door.

Kaoru peeped inside, hoping to see Sano still awake. She felt sorry for him, this man was innocent, he doesn't know that his bestfriend forgot everything. Talk about updated…

"Sano…" she began, mumbling her words in the room's silence, "…may we talk?" There was still silence, no words or anything chirped. Sano was on the bed, lying on his stomach and a pillow that rested his chin. He was facing away from the bed, not wanting to be disturbed but here is Kaoru…wanting to talk about it. "Sano?" she asked again. Sano turned around, glancing at his fiancé and then got up. Sitting on one edge of the bed, he patted his side to tell Kaoru to sit down. Kaoru obediently did, her arms crossed and then as she sat down, she leaned her head on his shoulder. Sano wish to budge her head off but then…he loves her so much. Instead, he took her hand and then clasped it again, giving her comfort. "Sano, I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you earlier." She apologized, nearing her head to his neck. He smiled and then glanced on his shoulder to look at her comfortable blue eyes. "It's alright, Kaoru." He told her. "By the way, how did you meet?" Kaoru's eyes opened wide, what part should she tell him? She lifted her head off the shoulder and then sat up straight. "We…uumm…we met in a grocery store." She answered, "Just a few hours ago." She looked at Sano for any movements and then saw him nod repeatedly. "I see…" he replied, "And he didn't recognize you, right?"

"He thought I was crazy."

"Did he?" he pressed on, waiting for his answer. Kaoru was too impatient for her story, but then she noted to herself that if he asks what else he did, then she would tell him everything…but she won't tell Sano that she was crying.
