She closed her eyes and hoped that the good time would chase away the bad dream she had been having on and off since Kai left. But it didn't. It always started the same. She was walking in a park in the full moon light. There were cherry blossoms everywhere. The loose petals were blowing everywhere in the breeze. It was calm and serene. The light played on the blooms, reflecting their beauty into her face. The sweet fragrance filled the air. She smiled and thought how lovely this night was. She felt someone watching her and she looked in the general direction she thought that they might be. She saw that someone was sitting on a park bench. Just sitting there, not really doing anything. She could only see a dark silhouette, and couldn't make out who it was, but she already knew who it was, because she had been here before.
"Kai…" she said and she sound reverberated through the park, throughout the whole world maybe.
She walked up to him, stepped into his line of sight and looked into his face. It was him. She smiled as he patted the bench for her to sit down next to him. She sat down and felt his arm wrap around her waist and slowly pull her closer to him. She leaned against his chest and felt his heart beating in his chest. The sound always brought her such comfort. It was like knowing that the heart she loved was still beating, and the person she loved was still alive.
"Hey, look at that…" he said softly, like a ghost.
Every night she had this dream, his voice changed. She was slowly starting to forget what he sounded like. She looked up at the clock overlooking the park. It was midnight, and the clock was standing still.
"The time, it's…stopped." She said as she looked into his eyes, his grey intelligent eyes.
He smiled back and slowly, his face turned dark, and as she watched, he moved further and further away from her. She reached out for him as he smiled sweetly at her as his face disappeared from her sight. She screamed for him.
"KAI!" she screamed and shot up in her bed.
She was sweating and breathing hard as she looked at her empty hand stretched out in front of her. She threw herself open and walked over to the window. She opened the window and let the breeze in. She walked over to the balcony doors and threw them open. She walked out onto her balcony and leaned on the rails. She put her head in her hands and shook her head.
"Not again." She said, looking up at the nearly full moon.
One more night, and it would be full moon.
"I miss you." She said, feeling a tear roll down her cheek.
Ring, ring, ring, ring.
She looked inside and walked over to her phone. She picked up and sighed. Who would be calling her this time of night?
"Hello…" she said, but no one answered her.
"Hello, is anyone there?" she asked again.
"Kai, is that you?" she asked.
She heard someone sigh on the other side of the phone.
"Kai, I knew it was you." She said, sitting down on her bed.
"Please come home, I miss you, so much." She said, unable to stop the tears now.
"Kai, please, it's time to come, I love you… And… you must love me too… I keep dreaming about you…Kai. Come back to me." She said, sobbing into the ear piece. She heard another sigh.
"But, if you don't love me, then don't bother coming back. I'll understand. I'll give you a deadline, if you're not back by, I don't know, one month, and then I'll know it's over. I won't move on, but it'll be okay. Okay. How's that sound…just say something, Kai Hiwatari, I love you, say something." She said, just before the phone went dead.
She looked at the hand piece and sighed. It was probably the wrong number, or worse, Tala, calling to tell her that he had found Kai. She put the hone down and looked out her window. Right now, she would have anyone here with her. She was so lonely. She lay down and hugged her pillow and closed her eyes. Maybe this time, she wouldn't dream.
