Chapter 2
Nostalgic
(Himeko)
My eyes slowly opened as I became conscious once more. I looked around me. It was a bedroom, one that wasn't mine. When did I get here? More importantly HOW did I get here? I let out a soft moan in pain as my head started to throb again. I heard footsteps on the floor near the bed and a face appear in front of me. Those eyes...
"Hey your awake, I just came in to check on you. I am truly sorry for any trouble I have caused you..." She looked away, probably ashamed of herself.
"It's perfectly fine. Thank you for saving me." She smiled. I scratched the back of my neck. "Hey, by any chance do I seem oddly familiar to you?" She looked me up and down. I shook my head. "I'm sorry I know its stup-"
"Yes." My eyes widened. "Yes you do." She held her head in her hand. "I don't know why but I feel like I've known you before... I don't get it. I know I would remember you if I ever had met you, I'm sure of it." I blushed. I could feel my heart beating, no, racing. Is it normal to feel this way? Then I saw it. The seashell. A memory came flooding back to me. "You'll find them. The other half of your shell, the perfect match for you Himeko..." I flinched in pain. My head began to throb again.
"Himeko! Are you okay??" She placed her hand on my forehead. "You need to lay down, please." She sat down next to me on the bed. "Get some rest. I promise, I'll make sure your okay."
(Chikane)
I watched as she laid her head down on my pillow. She closed her eyes as I ran my fingers through her long golden hair. Something about this made me feel nostalgic. All of it, all of her, gave me the feeling of nostalgia.
I'm in a field. Alone? I look around. Nothing. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to face her. Who is she? Do I know her? She embraces me.
"Chikane..." I must have met her, she knows my name.
"Himeko..." The name slipped out of my mouth. Was it truly hers? A smile ran across her face. It was her name alright, but how did I know it? I decided to hug her back but as I did she turned into dust. I look down. She left her necklace...
My eyes shot open and my heart raced. I sat up to catch my breath. I had fallen asleep. I held my head in my hand.
"Mmmm what a strange dream..." A soft moan came from beside me. I looked over to see her. It's her. She was real. I knew it was rude of me to stare at her, but I just couldn't help myself. She was so cute asleep like that. So innocent and yet so addictive.
