Dislaimer: Again i don't own anything here, not the people nor the dialog!

I hope that some people will read this fanfiction and review to my story. Let me know, if you want me to continue.

Enough talk, on with the chapter:

We sit together, right beside each other. So close, that I could touch your hand, if I move my own a little further. I have known you only for a few hours, but you make me feel like your my long lost friend. I wonder if you feel this too?

The night is a little chilly, but it's a wonderful and mysterious night. The sky above us is filled with stars and a beautiful half moon resides at the horizon, shining down on earth and making this night a little less dark.

Suddenly you break the silence.

'Listen. I got to see you special thing, so I'll show you mine. Take a look.'

You hold out a photo to me and smile coyly under your cap.

As I look at the picture I notice, that it must have been taken a long time ago. The edges are yellow and the paper is slightly crumbled.

The photo shows a boy that resembles you. He wears a white hospital grown and an old man is standing right beside him...I wonder if...the man is your father? The boy in the picture looks emotionless, like you did before. I had to look away for I can't stand to see that look in your eyes.

'Crow...is that you?'

You avert your eyes from me...looking up at the sky with such a grief. I feel a stab to my heart when I look at you.

'It's funny...To be honest. I really don't have any memories of my entire childhood.

That's why I think, that if I can somehow get to the place in this photo, I might learn about my past.

But it's hard...if been trying to find it for the longest time.'

You sound so lost and distressed...you must have been alone too, right? You have been searching for all this time...on your own...I wish I have met you a little sooner...

Now I'm glad , that we are finally able to meet.

'It's near where we are now. I...can...feel it!'

You lay back on your arms and all your anguish leaves your voice. You sound so hopeful again. Suddenly I can't help but smile. Your happiness is contagious!

'You know...I'm on a search, too. I'm searching for other survivors just like me.' (A/N: hehe, I left the part with Ren out 'cause I don't really like her )

'Go for it!'

You say instantly. And again, with just this few words, I feel like I can actually do it. Your words give me strength and courage.

And then you stand up... and I follow.

'I'm gonna keep searching for the place in the photo. I guess we both have to make up for a lot of wasted time, huh?'

I have to chuckle at that.

'And whose fault was that?'

'Hey, I already told you I was sorry!'

We break out in laughter again. This teasing just feels so natural to me...it's strange, but I know that you have become a part of my memory now.

But when I think of us parting ways soon...I can't help but feel sad. I want to be with you longer. I never felt this way around anyone before...it's intriguing.

Thinking that, I look down and ask.

'So...will I...Do you think I'll ever see you again?'

I can't help but blush as I say that.

Without hesitation and with your over-self confidence you answer with conviction.

'Yeah, of course we will! Friends always see each other again. And we are friends now!'

Friends? I never had a friend in my life. You don't know how happy I feel right now, Crow, I really wish I could know, what you feel for me...

All of a sudden you held out a ring to me.

'A ring....with a silver ... skull?'

I look at him confused, but nevertheless taking it from his hands. Our hands brush against each other and they just stay a little longer than necessary in the others hold.

'You better keep it safe in your locket...ok? This is proof of our friendship.'

'Well...thank y-'

Before I can finish, I feel your lips on mine. I am so shocked, that I can't move. But ...I don't want to... . Your lips taste like strawberries, I wonder if you had eaten some before...? The feeling is so foreign but good. Yes, I decide that it feels really nice and all thoughts of pushing you away, leave my mind. I stay like this and just enjoy this new feeling.

Suddenly I find myself on the ground, after having tripped over a stray root. Instantly I bring my fingers to my lips and stutter.

'What the...? Did you just...did I...! What was that?

'What's wrong?We're friends now and friends give each other kisses. I...read that!'

You say that so confidently and without any hesitation. And look at me on the other hand...all flustered...did the kiss mean anything to you?

'But...that was my first kiss ever!'

I shout out loud, without intending to. The words just left my mouth.

'Oh, huh,well then I guess that makes me your number one buddy. Best friends, right?'

You hold out your hand so invitingly.

'My best friend...?'

I whisper. I have a friend now...I am finally not alone anymore. You .... you really want me...

I grasp your hand tightly and hold it.

'Yeah, we are friends now.'

And then you help me up with one fluid pull that make me fall right into your arms.

I still hold your hand and enjoy the warmth of your body.

But then ... I know...that we can't stay like this...

'Well...I'm off.'

I nod. I feel my stomach tighten and my chest hurts. I don't want to part from you...

'Right...see you around.'

I look into your eyes, that look so much like a cats...and they hold so much emotions in them.

'Yeah...bye then ....for now.' I say.

And with that we both let go of the others hand. I already miss your warmth...but ...I'm sure that I WILL meet you again.

When that time comes ...I will stay by your side...and I will tell you something...

Someday...I know it...for our fates are already intertwined with each other...we will see each other again.

Friends always see each other again.
