A/N: okay, chapter two was kinda like a transition chapter I suppose . . . more will happen in this chapter, I promise!

The Chance
While Shigure was typing away at a new novel, I decided to go outside and sit on the roof, which was Kyo's favorite spot. I dragged my guitar along with me (A/N: the manga never really goes into her talents, so I gave her one!) and started strumming a few chords. I began to sing a few lines from a song I remembered (A/N: the song is "I can't get over you" sung by Julie Roberts. Country, I know.).
I've been tryin' for a long, long time
But no matter what I do
When I turn to leave, my heart stays behind
'Cause I can't get over you
A tear ran down my face, but I continued to sing. The song reminded me of Kyo . . . of everything that I may have lost.
I keep movin' on, runnin' hard and fast
But everywhere that I run to
I'm just standin' still, livin' in the past
'Cause I can't get over you
I had to stop. The tears were coming faster, and I heard the ladder shake.
"What are you playing?" Shigure asked.
"Nothing, just something that was stuck in my head."
"Play it for me. Please."
I gave up and continued with the song.
If memories were like the leaves that fall
The wind would have carried them from my mind
The seasons pass, but they never change
A broken heart can't keep time
"I don't know why you're so depressed," Shigure commented. I gave him a confused look. "I mean, you've always said you loved him, but I honestly think you could do better. He's such an ass anyway."
"I don't know if I deserve better," I said, looking straight into Shigure's eyes. They were complex; they held secrets inside that I could not understand. But they were beautiful eyes.
"You do deserve better. You do," Shigure said, and he moved closer towards me. For a moment, time stood still. Neither one of us spoke; for we let our eyes do all the talking.
"The phone's ringing," I said. Shigure sighed and returned to the house.
I waited for about thirty minutes, but still no sign of Shigure. Maybe it was his editor. I climbed down the ladder and walked back into the house.
"Let's get married someday!"
"Okay! I do!" he said, holding the little girl's hand.
I heard Shigure's voice in his study, only it was louder than usual. I walked past the door and listened for a moment.
"And you're just NOW telling me this? I thought you were growing up."
On second thought, maybe it's Kyo. I knew what I had to do.
I walked into the kitchen and reached for the other cordless phone.
I picked it up . . .
A/N: Don't you all just LOVE cliffhangers! Sorry it was so short…I'll update soon!
