Hatori's voice trailed off when he saw the back of a familiar woman. She wore a white cheongsam. Her green hair was wrapped into an intricate bun. Hatori noticed small drops of red on the front of her cheongsam when she turned to face him. Kawana touched he bloody cheek and whispered, "Excuse me…are you the doctor? I'm afraid I cut myself." Hatori managed to say coolly, "Yes, I'm the doctor. I can treat your wound. Why are you so dressed up?" a hint of uncertainty could be heard in his voice.

Kawana tilted her head as she stepped closer to him. "I was going to marry a fine man when I realized I couldn't." Hatori licked his dry lips and rasped out, "W-why?" Kawana moved closer to him and placed a hand on his chest. Her voice was sensuous when she said, "I didn't because I realized that I loved Hatori. I realized that if I wasn't with him I would never be complete. I realized that if it wasn't his mouth hovering above mine, I could never be truly happy. Can you understand that?"

Hatori touched the side of her face that wasn't scratched and whispered sorrowfully, "I'm sorry but Hatori is forbidden to answer to love. His keeper forbids it." the smile that emerged on Kawana's face surprised him. She said innocently, "What if I told you that I've already bribed the keeper into the giving me the key?" Hatori pulled back surprised. "He what? Are serious?" Kawana reached up and pulled his head down. As her lips grazed his, Kawana muttered, "We have a life time to answer those questions…"

Hatori didn't answer. His lips touched hers once. Twice. The next time they touched, it was to stay…(insert your own lemon here. No! Wait don't do it! it just ruins the whole image!)

The end. (Again)
