The Lost Moon

Black Sky

I looked her in the eyes on verge of crying because I missed this girl for so long. I remember the day that we parted. It was a warm day and we were laying in the grass under the sun. Then when I woke up she was disappearing into ash. I thought she was she was lost but we were both lost like when the moon disappear and becomes a lost moon.

I loved her and she has felt pain that I should have stopped. I could not do a dam thing about because of Kazama. I hugged her so tightly that I feel I might break her but her warmth soothed so me. She still had a tiny frame like the night we met.

I will not let go no matter what because I can't lose her again. When she turned to ash I thought she had die from the water of life. I was happy that it was not the water of life because that means that I had failed.

"I love you and I am sorry for that I could not help you..." I told her as my voice broke a little.

She looked at me and said "are you sure that you should love someone like me I am nothing but a broken doll."

She was crying. I hugged her even tighter and told her that she was not broken.

"You are my everything and if you were broken I would help to rebuild you because I care about you." I told her as I could feel the water from her tears run down my shirt.

"My luck is just bad with guys they just use me like a play toy or beat the hell out me. Then everyone I care about just dies around me, so I should do the same and go away" she told me with tear filled eyes.

I looked at the floor with anger because guys till now were just using her for thier animalistic nature and not giving a dam about her.

"Who are they?" I asked her as I patted her head.

"NO!" She yelled at me and cletched her fists on tighs. "I know why you need there names because you gonna kill them but as you see I am monster that death follows me! I just want to hide and let death take me instead"

I gritted my teeth because I do not know what do too help her. Killing was my way of life back then but I was in a time that killing is bad. Even It was okay to kill I was hurting her even more because she feels like a death omen. As I was thinking this Sawn came up to her.

"Sky don't be too hard on him. He is just trying to help ease your pain also you are not a death omen because if that was the case Armin and I would be dead ages ago." Sawn said in a calming tone.

She looked a little better after he said that I guessed because he knew this Chizuru better than me but I will too soon because I love her so much. "So can you not hurt yourself anymore please for me. I want to help in everyway before that happens" I asked her as small tears came from my eyes. She nodded in agreement and then wiped my tears away from my face.

"Hey I have a question for you too then Okita." I looked at her and nodded my head.

"Don't let those green eyes with water in them unless I am dead please." I did not want her to die but if she please and that it was not by her own hand.

"Ya but I will by your side till the end okay" as I said that to her gave the same smile that I always remember from back then. Sawn chimed in for a second and said to the air "when the sky is black that mean the pain will be gone soon." She looked at Sawn and nodded her head and said right back to him. I had no idea what that I meant but it was okay for the time being.

My feelings were filling me like a glass and I went in for a kiss and grabbed her face. Are lips touched they were soft but this was better than anything because I was back with the girl that I love even though I was a killing machine. Are kiss lasted about a minute or two but I did not care about that. We parted and she gave a huge smile to me and it filled my heart with happiness.

"So what do you want me to call then Chizuru or Sky?" I asked her.

"Honestly it does not matter because I am both Chizuru and Sky" she told us both I knew that includes Amagiri or Armin for her. I guess she does not remember Sawn being Shiranui but the time well come when she does remember them. We both got up from the dingy floor that my apartment had in it.

Then she asked Sawn "If Okita was real are the rest real to Sawn?" I was shocked because she does not remember the other even we have all spent time together when we were in the Shinsengumi.

"Yes the rest of them are real they are most likely in places that fit their personalities"

She sighed then said "That mean Harada is at a brothel then" she said to us.

"Wait I thought brothels were illegal in America!?" I blurted.

"Ya they are illegal but that does not mean some will still not run they are a couple in america that run under the radar." Sawn said as he patted me on shoulder.

"Aren't brothels where women come to have fun?" I asked but soon realized the answer to my question. They both knew it too. From the coner of my eye I saw Chizuru came up to me.

"Hey Okita do you have a computer by any chance?" Chizuru asked me.

I got up and went into my messy room and looked through my things to find it. "Ah there you are!" I said as I found the laptop it was an old Toshiba laptop from a few years ago. I placed the laptop on the table that Chizuru was sitting at. "Geez how old is the thing" Chizuru said while laughing. I looked at her but I knew she was joking about it.

She started to look online for brothels that were the most famous in america. "Geez this is so far away" she said to herself as she typed. She flopped in her chair and said "so far so far blahhhh." I walked up to her and place my hand on her shoulder. "Where is it at then?" I asked her.

"It is a two day drive from a couple of states over from here. Also no flying because flying means that we will be in air and that is so high" She told me. I laughed because she had a fear of heights but I was not mad at all.

We should leave soon so we do not waste amy time. "Hey tommorow do you wanna head out for this brothel" Chizuru asked Sawn and I. Yeah we are gonna this tomorrow and save our friends.
