Our Promise Of Eternity

Chapter 5

I looked at him closely as he tried to process what I just told him. Taking steps closer to him so that he was towering over me as I looked up to him. His amber eyes met mine violets ones making me lose sight of everything. I reached out my hand to touch his cheek slowly afraid that he will retreat but he didn't when my cold hand finally touched his warm and soft cheek. I closed my eyes drawing in deep breaths, taking in the moment before he realized he let down his guard. I brought up my other hand to run it through his hair but it was too late, he then realized what was happening and pushed me way, giving me his back.

"Why are you so intent in ruining my life?" he whispered softly.

His words lingering in the air pained me on how he sees this reunion. I never want to hurt him not like this I just wanted it to be like before, before he lost his memory, his existence on who he was.

"You're wrong I do not wish to do such a thing to you Ichigo I merely wish to show you who you were-"

"And I have told you before I want nothing to do with it!" he said interrupting me. "I have a great life I have friends who aren't bothered by my memory lost, a girl who worries about me around the clock, an apartment where I live peacefully, why can't you see that I'm perfectly fine the way I am?"

"Because it's not who you are Ichigo, the life you're living right now is a lie and that's what I'm trying to show you since telling you won't work, you're as stubborn as your father!" I stated, staring intently on the back of his head since he wouldn't turn to face me. The room felled silent and I knew he wouldn't ask questions. "One month Ichigo…that's all I ask of you, if by then you still don't want anything to do with us then… you're free to go" He turned to face me with an expression I couldn't describe. He opened his mouth about to say something but a knock on the door made him close it. "Come in, Momo" I said. The door open to reveal a small petite girl like me but her hair was wrapped in a cloth and she was more of happy person than me. She came in carrying in a silver tray of food that she placed on the bed and turned to bow to me.

"Forgive me for interrupting you, your highness but Ms. Masumoto had order me to bring food to Mr. Kurosaki"

I turned to Ichigo who just starred at the silver tray on the bed.

"Momo Take the tray back and bring it back with one of our wooden trays replace the forks with chopsticks" I told her my eyes never leaving Ichigo as he stared back with those eyes filled with questions he didn't want to ask.

"You can sleep here for the night, think of it as a thank you and Ichigo …Think about what I said I'll wait for your answer tomorrow morning"

I watched as Rukia left the room without waiting for my response. With the little time I met Rukia I knew she was full of surprises and was also stubborn. There were also so many questions I wanted to ask but didn't not want to know more about this world she claims we come from. Wondering if she knew about my condition of not being able to touch silver, no one knew except for my doctor and me but of course but it seems she knows me better than I know about myself. I walked over to the bed and threw myself on it making the headboard hit the wall. Taking in a deep breath as I tried to relax and think through the offer she gave me. One month. A lot can happen in one month but then again I'll be able to finally get answers. I turned over on my stomach and buried my face in the softness of the pillows; I heard a knock on the door knowing who it was I told her to come in. Momo came in with a huge smile on her face as she hummed, placing the wooden tray once again on the bed next to me.

"Her highness had just asked me to take care of you so if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call for me" she said and headed for the door.

"Wait maybe you can help me" I said getting up my hand voluntary out stretch towards her. She turned to me and just nodded I clear my throat not sure what how to say without making a fool of myself.

"Are you also a … you know a …vampire"

She looked at me blankly for a while then giggled making me feel like a complete fool.

"Why course I am everyone who works for her highness in the household are"

"What is she like?" I said as I open my tray of food to reveal a big steak with mash potatoes making my mouth water.

"Well I just had started to work in the house hold two months ago but during my time here she's been really nice and from what I heard from the other maids is that she's a great person to be around with loving, caring, funny and honest" Momo ranted and sighed making a dreamy look.

"So she's never been cruel to anyone?" I asked making Momo come back to reality her smiled slowly disappeared replace with sad expression that made me regret ever asking the question.

"The other maids that have been here longer than me said there was an incident eight years ago where she lost control of herself and destroyed the whole house in Rome, accidently killing one of the maids. Apparently her highness received the news of someone dear to her had die they said she spent months locked in her room not wanting feed or see anyone" Momo looked down at her feet and shift to one foot to the other, knowing that talking about this made her feel uncomfortable.

"That's all thank you Momo," I said so she wouldn't be in this awkward moment any longer. She nodded and left in a hurry. I finished eating my food and set the tray on the floor. I lay back on the bed thinking of what Momo had said and fell asleep.
