I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran. My legs seemed to ache after awhile, but I couldn't seem to stop. It was like a drive from within… Something I couldn't stop, like a fear, or a burn…

Maybe you would catch me if I stopped Kai? Though I am well away from where I last saw you… I still feel like if I stop, you'll be there, like in all of my dreams, you're there when I stop.

It's amazing…three years and you still pry through my thoughts… They are always anger… Than sorrow… Than raw rage… Than love… and unconditional love that I just feel for you. I don't care if you don't feel anything for me… Though our last encounter could convince an onlooker otherwise.

You know Kai; all my thoughts seem to come to me, as if I was saying them to you. Of course I never really would… You would look at me like I'm a freak… Which I am, I understand that now.

Maybe… It's that when we were smaller, when you first came to Japan, you helped me learn to blade. That was a gift I suppose could have swept me off my feet… What am I? A lame school girl? No, no… Not swept me off my feet… More you just took my breath away…. Oh they are the same!

I can't run anymore… My legs have gone numb and my heart can't take much more… this spot looks nice for a nap…

I guess I must have fallen from exhaustion because my legs, back, front, and hands burn. The sun is going down… Now I am on the ground I suppose.

Everything seems to move so fast…. Before I know it it's dark… Kai, please help me. I can't move a muscle, I can't feel anything…. And everything is going black…

What's this? There is someone above me… Oh dear… now I can't see… my eyes must be closed. I must be asleep….


It feels warm….. Ahh….. Very nice indeed! I can smell a sweet scent of fresh made tea… I must be in heaven… I guess I died….

Nope, no I didn't.

My back aches, my legs are burning and my arms and not mobile… and I have a head ache like I am the ground under a thousand African Elephants…

Should I open my eyes? I guess it would be best…

I slowly feel a small amount of light flood my vision, seeming to encourage my eyes to close again… I have been through much harder challenges than this! With one last spark of energy I open my eyes… Ahh it's a nice room… A small fireplace in the corner with a nice little fire that crackles and crumbles a small kitchenette on one side… A door….. Another door….. Another door…… three doors in all, first grade math is a charm.

A few chairs… One with you in it… What! Kai! What are you doing here!

I love your black silk shirt… and those sexy black jeans…. I didn't know you wore reading glasses! Look at those crimson eyes scan the page…. Ahh, you're beautiful Kai.

"Glad to see you're awake." You say… You voice is like liquid venom, cool, crisp, and deadly.

"Kai?" I hear my voice crack. You know, you could turn on some lights now. I can't see anything but what the fire lights up.

"Yes, Carlos?" My name sounds good on your lips…

"W-what happened?" I feel my voice is hoarse. Forgive me Kai.

"You ran too hard… I found you on the ground, than you fainted. I carried you back here and tended to your wounds, than let you sleep while I caught up on my reading." You say like it was scripted, not even taking your eyes from the book…. Damn, is that book is more important than I?

"Thank you." I say, I see where the tea smell is coming from… That glass by your hand… May I have some?

"Would you like some tea? I just made a pot and your voice sounds like it needs it." You say and put your book down gently on the table by your large crimson chair. I suppose I'll watch you prepare it; I don't want to be poisoned after all.

"Please." I say meaning I would like some… Must be a foreign blend… I don't recognize the smell. Almost like cinnamon… but with a twist of peppermint… or maybe a fruit? It's so exotic, I love the smell.

Yes Kai, come bring it too me please. I can't walk yet.

"Can you move your arms without pain? They were scratched up pretty bad when I brought you here.

"Yes." I said, though I lied, I would hate to displease you. Dammit! I can't move my hands well! Oh well, I'll struggle through, just for you, my love.

I grasp the tea; it's warm, not too cold, not too hot, its just right. Taking a sip, it tastes wonderful, more so than the smell. I shut my eyes, feeling the taste wash into my mouth so gallantly… What does that mean, Kai?

What is this? Kai, your lips are on my cheek…. That must be on purpose, eh?

Your kiss was better than those before… Somehow more sweet and gentle, why can't you be like this more often?

I set my tea down; I open my eyes for you… I can see your silky light teal hair in front of my face, and your soft, lush, and all around perfect lips continuing to pucker and press against my skin… Ouch! You bit me! Son of a bitch! That's my neck! No wait…

"Kai!" I say harsher than I wanted to, please don't frown….

You frowned.

I see it in your crimson eyes… Why me? I'm not the one with the scarf! Why couldn't I mark you as mine? I am no ones bitch!

"Yes?" You said with that ugly frown on your face.

"Why…?" A guy has the right to ask.

"Why what?" You ask, you know what! Don't you lie to me… "You're beautiful."

You don't mean that.
