I remember when I met her under the Eiffel tower, you could say that it was cliché and cheesy for a meeting. But, it was not the usual cheesy thing, it was snowing, couples were huddled close, exchanging warmth and kissing. It was very awkward for the both of us were the only people who were 'alone'. Her black hair was braided, black thick reading glasses were framed on her eyes-and her eyes, call me love struck, but its color gray, my favorite color.

Now that made me realize something..

I just met my future.

She looked in my way, her nose was slightly red due to the cold, her cheeks flushed also in red, and her lips... Pink.

After a week of stalking her and reading about her background, I decided to set the strings in and asked her out.

Well, at first she said no because she was busy with her work, but then, she said yes at the end.

I stayed in Paris for 2 months, and the both of us were still dating. I called her mon'ami because it's sweet, and she giggled when she heard me calling her that.

I visited her at work, sometimes bring her food or gifts to make her feel special (you know girls with their 'sensitive' feelings), but when I brought her a necklace, a ballerina, she didn't accept it. She said that it was very unfair for me to spoil her with gifts. And she also said that she's not used to the attention I was giving her.

So I kept the necklace for her and I will give it to her when the right time comes.

Months had passed, I was still in Paris for her. And as time goes by she's keeping her distance from me. I often saw her smile, even her laugh. I asked her if there's a problem, but she said no, she was fine. However, ever time I saw her, it's like the girl I've fallen in love with was gone.

I had come to my conclusion that I will find out what and why. And better yet, make things right the way it should be.

December has come and she still avoided me everytime I approached her. Last week of December, I've decided that I would be returning to Japan to continue my work as a writer. Lynda, her assistant called me and said that she was in an accident, I rushed into the hospital and talked to the doctor, she said that the other died, but got one survived. I walked into the hospital room, hoping the she'd be alright.

But then..

The moment I saw the color of her hair...

Blonde

I found that 'my' mon'ami was gone.

Artemisia woke up by the sound of mewing and purrs. She blinked her eyes for her vision to be clear, rubbing the light soreness on her neck. She heard again a mew and felt something soft on her legs. She sat up and saw two identical cats purring on her legs.

"I see you have woken up."

Artemisia gazed up where the voice were, gray eyes met striking violet ones. She blinked again and slightly smiled.

"Yeah.. Um, where am I? And why I'm wearing man's clothes?"

Artemisia was wearing a white-greenish tee that ends on her mid-thigh. She saw her things on the computer table and her clothes on the coffee table.

"Oh, you're here in my apartment. Do not worry, I didn't do anything...disturbing." He coughed at the last part, "anyways, you must be hungry, I just finished cooking breakfast. Go freshen up while I set up here."

Artemisia nodded, "Okay." she got up and took her bag and headed towards the bathroom.

(Time skip)

After doing all her morning rituals, Natsume had lent her an oversized shirt and a blue boxer short. The moment when she saw the food on the coffee table, her tummy made a grumble.

Natsume chuckled, already waiting for her to eat with him. "I think I'm on time."

Artemisia blushed and laughed sheepishly. "Yeah, hehe." she sat down across Natsume and looked at him with a smile on her face, her cheeks slightly pink.

"Let's eat."

In the midst of the evening, the moonlight shining through the window across the room, a man, sitting on a plush chair, his legs crossed, and his back tensed due to the message he got earlier. He sighed and rubbed his temples, he thought that he had stopped chasing her shadow. He had cost too much money from her parents for her hiding and now he was still there, finding information about 'the-girl-in-his-dreams'.

It was very stressful for the fact that he need to move her again and change her identity.

"I need a new job.." he muttered, his face lying flat on top of his laptop.

%$^^&&^ is calling... %#$%^$% is calling...

He groaned and took his phone from his pocket, lifting his face and clicked the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Good evening, Mr. Flinn. Remember me?"

"Yes, in fact, I do remember you, Mr. Asahina" he said, emphasizing the last words. "What do you want?"

He heard a chuckle. "What? I just want to know if you're doing alright, that's all."

Lawrence rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap, what do you want?"

"You know what I want, the truth."

"I told you, she died 4 years ago. It's now only Artemisia, Carmen is gone, Kaname. If I were you, I would stop this nonsense and focus in the living." with that he shut the phone off and sighed.

"What am I going to do with you, Carmen?"

My goodness! I am sorry for the late update. School has started and I'm in the last year of High School so updates would be on the weekends, so please bear with me. :) This would be part one of Hikaru's side.

Anyways, thank you for those again who reviewed! You guys rock! And also I saw that many are rooting for Ukyo... Hmmm... Muhahahaha. Let's see. I have revealed many info today. Lol.

*******SPOILER

Hikaru loved the 'dead' instead of the 'living'.
