Chapter 3

It was near Christmas and Lisa was helping Ai and Yu decorate the tree. Mr. and Mrs.Hayakawa were in the kitchen, working together on their famous "Chocobo sugar cookies!" Chobi was outside, rolling in the snow happily; he had never seen snow before, and was enjoying it for the first time. Ai hung a candy cane on one of the branches and then rushed over to a box and opened it, her brother joining her. They ogled over the various decorations inside. Lisa then to herself had taken out the most valuable thing she owned out of her pocket, and held it, smiling. It was Kaze's earring, all that he had left her when he had sacrificed himself to help save Wonderland.

"May you rest easy..." she said to herself. She then put the earring back into her pocket and rushed over to the children.

The wolf girl, Lou, had went to go play with a couple of friends she had made here. They weren't afraid of her, nor did they think she was strange--they were happy to have her along and she was happy too. I began talking to the Black Wind again, this time about my experience working with the earl. He seemed a little more interested this time. As I talked, we walked, up and down the endless green hills. In fact we had walked so far that the others were no longer in sight. All there was were green hills, and maybe a couple of chocobo and cactuar a mile or two ahead. The whole entire time I had talked to him, but all that I truly wanted was to hold him once more like I had so long ago. He looked at me with those pretty eyes of his', taking me in completely. At that point I had just stopped talking and stared into his eyes. I was frozen. Just then I had breathed out the mist that once had helped me to conceal myself from my enemies. The mist shrouded around us. Suddenly a pair of two large hands grabbed my shoulders. It was the Black Wind. He was looking at me. I blushed. For a moment I turned my face away to avoid directly looking at him, but then he placed a finger on my chin and turned me towards him. I could not move. My cheeks were flushed. Just then the Black Wind leaned in and pressed his soft lips against mine. Instantly, pleasure surged through my body wildly. This was what I wanted--he knew. He broke away from the kiss as the mist began to clear. I realized that the past really didn't matter anymore; the battles, the anger we had had. The only thing that had mattered was what was in front of me right now--

I smiled.
