Butterfly Lovers

Chapter 1

******* I appreciate you guys for taking the time to read my story. After I finished the manga I cried and was deeply sad every time I thought about it that day. So I decided to write my own small continuation of the story to give myself a little closure. At this time I do not plan on it being much longer than a few chapters. But, who knows maybe I will eventually decide to add to it. I hope you enjoy. Quick reminder my ideas in this story are copyrighted, SO NO STEALING! I do not claim to own any of the characters.***********

1,000 years has come and passed. 1,000 years without my Kaname.

Slowly my eyes begin to well with tears. As I look at myself in my mirror. The mirror in our room, Kaname's room. We never really established it as our room, even if we did spend a few very desirable love hungry moments in here together. When Kaname threw his heart into the furnace it was I who decided to make this my room, to be closer to him. For 1,000 years this has been our room in my eyes. Sometimes on those really lonely nights, I can feel, I can see, him, my Kaname laying next to me in our bed.

I clench my chest as I fight back the urge to cry. Today is different. Today we turn off the furnace and with that Kaname's heart will no longer thrive in the smoldering heat.

"Yuki, are you ready?" Ichiru asks.

"Let's do this!" I respond turning towards Ichiru, my head held high. The sign of tears no longer in my eyes.

Together we head out of the room I secretly share with the love of my life.

"Mother!" Kasamea shouts as she runs down the hallway and throws her arms around me.

"Mea, what are you doing?" I ask confused looking down into my daughter's beautiful eyes, just like her fathers.

"Mother, you can not do this. You may not survive. Do you think that this is what father would want!?"

"Oh, sweet Mea. This is, something I must do, for myself, for you, for your father." I hold my 999-year-old daughter out at arms length so that I can look into her eyes. "I must do this. I appreciate you seeing me off but you should be with your own family. I will do my best to return."

I hug my daughter one last time before leaving and heading to the furnace.

Together Ichiru and I enter the hunters association building and head to the basement, where the furnace lies, where my Kaname lies. I stop at the entrance to the room amazed.

"You all are here." I am amazed everyone though much older now is here. "Hanabusa, Haruka, Takuma, Senri. Everyone, but why?"

"We will stand by your side forever your majesty," Rima says stepping slightly closer to me.

"That's right!" Hanabusa says more firmly. "As members of your high council, we will stand by your side forever, and." Hanabusa turns towards Kaname still frozen in the ice created 1,000 years ago. "And for Kaname, our king. I will do anything for Kaname."

"And I."

"And I."

"And I."

Everyone slowly chimes in one by one. A huge smile spreads across my face. "Thankyou. Everyone. I am deeply honored to have such wonderful friends as you. Now it is time."

I stand next to Kaname frozen in the ice and with a swipe of my hand the ice has evaporated into the air. Slowly Kaname's body falls into my arms and I lay him gently on the floor. I finally can touch you again. A single tear drops down onto Kaname's cheek as I lean down and kiss him gently on the lips. My love, the time is now. Pushing away I walk to the entrance of the furnace as Ichiru turns the wheel that keeps the gates open and the heat flowing. The flames slowly begin to die down.

I can feal the heat of the remaining flames as I walk through the bottom of the furnace. In the center lies Kaname's heart. Thump Thump Thump. His heart slowly beating with every step I take. Finally, I am able to hold his heart in my hands. It's so cold. hmm, whats this? In the center of Kaname's heart is a small outline of a butterfly shining brightly in gold as if it were sunlight peeking through his heart.

My Kaname. I think with a small smile.I hold Kaname's heart close to my chest as I walk out of the furnace and back to my Kaname. Sitting on top of him I kiss the butterfly on his heart. Gold beams of sunlight begin to shoot out as soon as my lips touch the butterfly. I firmly press Kaname's heart back into his chest. More beams of gold shoot out and begin to swirl around the two of us as I use all of my power to give Kaname his heart back. The single gold butterfly flutters up out of his chest and with the flap of its wings, hundreds of gold butterflies begin to swirl around us mixed in with the gold beams of sunlight. I need to give this my all, my everything, for him. If not we will both die. 

****** I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. Will they survive? I do have a favor to ask of anyone that reads this. I would really love to see some drawings that go along with this chapter but I have literally ZERO artistic ability in that department. Show me your work and I may make it the cover of my book. *********
