I'm making my very first sequel! I feel so proud. This takes place pretty much at the time Kayashima saw in the future. If you don't know what I'm talking about read "You Make Me Feel". This is still written in Kayashima's POV.

Hello, again. I guess it's been a long time since I've seen you all last. I was sixteen then so it's been about… seven years. Nakatsu and I haven't seen each other since his daughter Amane's last birthday, almost a year now.
Things haven't really been good between us lately. Probably because the last time I went to go visit Rin made us look through there wedding photos. I never really saw the wedding happen even though I was supposed to be the best man. I had an emotion attack right before the ceremony, it was the second one I had ever had in my life.
I guess I didn't think that it would affect me as much as it did. I love him but I thought it would be okay since I knew he would be happy. Well anyways while going through the pictures Amane asked why I wasn't in any of the photos. It's hard to tell a child you were hiding in the coat room so you wouldn't have to suffer watching your only love marry someone else. Don't get me wrong I like Rin; it's just the selfishness that is inside of me talking.
Well Amane already knew about my empathy but something inside of me didn't want to tell her about the pain that came to me from the feeling of my own loss and her very own parents love battling each other for my soul. She was just a child after all, although she was very smart for her age there were just some things she wasn't meant to understand.
I guess Nakatsu and Rin never did find out why I backed out of my duty of best man and wanted to know too. You just can't tell your best friend and his wife you weren't at there wedding because you were so in love with the groom that it hurt.
I left before the questions could leave there mouths and the next day I went off to Egypt for work. Only when I got there did I remember that while I was in Egypt Rin died. It's been awhile now and I think it's safe to be here because so far she's been fine.
Oh did I fail to mention I did manage to screw up my eye sight too? Turns out all that reading that I like to do just came and bit me in the ass in the end. The glasses aren't that bad, they don't interfere with seeing auras although when looking at two people who are standing closely together I tend to see a blurring of there auras.
Today my archeologist group is celebrating. I ended up discovering some ancient lost tomb while taking directions to the sphinx from a ghost. I was wondering why it would take all that digging to get to a structure above ground but he just kept on reassuring me until I found the tomb. I guess my ghost friend's body was there and he wanted a little recognition before finally moving on.
There's a good bar here by the hotel that none of us ever stay in but still keep a room anyways. I don't like to drink, when I'm drunk… Well let's just say that it's not a pretty sight. Nakatsu talked me into a drinking game at graduation with the others, I'm not sure if Sano had healed properly yet.
Well of course that the guys I work with chose the bar with a belly dancer. I knew the girl; we had talked a few times after her dance was over when I came here by myself. Well she wasn't really a girl, as old as me actually.
She loves to dance but is more interested in my line of work then anything else. Today I can only guess that she will be thrilled about my discovery. I like her, more then any other girl before. I still can't believe that she likes me back, she feels happy around me but I'll never know why.
Her name is Nigmeh. It's spelled with a "G" but pronounced as a "J". In Arabic it means star and I think it matches her perfectly. She prefers the night time sky and I prefer her in it. She looks so much more comfortable under the moon, beautiful because she allows herself to be.
No, I haven't fallen in love but I wouldn't be surprised is eventually I did. I don't feel too much on my own now because I'm so far away from Nakatsu but I think that love might just creep up on me. I feel my comrade's happiness flow through me and I can't help but to smile.
Makoto ordered a round of beer for everyone. I know better then to argue with him so I accept it whole heartedly. One beer can't hurt. Before I even take a sip Nigmeh comes out in that little costume she wears and the music starts.
The guys around me start to cheer along with the rest of the bar. I silently watch her as she moves to the beat. I smile to myself as I watch her look for someone on the other side of the room.
She feels disappointment and finally gives up. Then she turns around and sees me and her smile becomes genuine. Well aren't I special? When she finishes she goes to the back to her changing room to get dressed.
I excuse myself from the table and wait outside her room. She looked nice today. Her long black hair and dark brown eyes were complimented by her tan skin. When she came out of the room she flung herself onto me.
I have to admit I would have been surprised if I had the ability to be. She was wearing light blue jeans and red turtle neck shirt. It could get very cold here at night no matter how hot it is during the day.
"Daiki you're here." I nod; her happiness is hard to push over as I do with mostly everyone else's emotions. "It would seem so." Her smile widened if that was even possible. Of course it was possible, she was Nigmeh after all.
"You haven't been here for the past few days… I missed you." It was hard to tell in the dimly lit bar but I think she blushed. "I'm sorry. I have something for you though." I pull her gift from out of my jackets pocket.
"Oh Daiki!" I got her a necklace with an old coin on it. The coin was from ancient Greece, I had to trade a lot for it from another group that was working near the same area as us. I had it made into a necklace because I thought it would be a good gift for her. Who would have thought I would actually given it to her though.
"It's nothing really; I just thought you might like it." She hugged me again saying that she loved it and putting it on right away. Does giving a girl you like jewelry mean something other then you're just giving her jewelry? Oh well, whatever happens…
We had just made it back to the table when it hit me. Pain, so much of it at once. I tried not to show anything on the outside. "Nakatsu." I knew it was him, it had to be. Dammit this was it. Rin had died.
I've been sort of lazy and could have had this out a lot sooner but oh well. I hope you like it! Please review and tell me what you think.
