PART III - NOT FORGOTTEN
During the night, she peeked at the guest room where it was messy,
littered with papers and the sheets crumpled.
She didn’t remember going inside it.
She fussed around it and found sketches of love poems that were not her own.
She sunk on the floor in despair.
Through the hours of darkness,
she lay there on her bed tired but unable to sleep.
Into the ledge of the window she looked on and on.
Why does she picture a silhouette of someone there?
But there was no face, no name not even a sex.
It was a blank representation of a person that somehow made an impact to her.
But who?
Defeated by herself she went out.
Her feet brought her to a place where her heart told her to find someone.
She stood there on a certain portion, her eyes glued to that spot.
Kurama then came; he stood there his flaming hair
dusted by the snow and his black coat coated faintly with snowflakes.
His back was turned to her and she wanted to face him.
She recalled finding something there but what?
She remembered feeling worry and dread as she hauled something there.
Eenah stood on the location where she first saw Youko.
Hastily she turned to go. She wasn’t herself today.
Perhaps she got tired from school and her mind’s not functioning well enough.
“Miss, wait!” Kurama called.
She spun around and saw the greenest eyes she’d ever seen.
Her eyes welled up with tears for in those eyes she saw something there,
she remembered that look in those eyes.
The look of being in love and loved, it’s evident, clear and vivid.
She opened her mouth. “I know you…I know you…”
He slowly came towards her,
his hand outstretched and beckoning to her in a way she knew too well.
Eenah’s eyes widened when she saw the same ring on her hand on the man.
Her tears blinded her as she stood there immobile.
“You are…you…the ring…. why?” She mumbled.
Kurama held her softly his hands circling around her.
She felt the loneliness in her slipping away, she felt comforted.
“I may be a stranger to you Miss, but I feel you needed someone.”
The man said his voice soft. She didn’t leave, she stayed there with him.
“I knew you, from somewhere, You, I saw you somehow, I know you…”
She said over and over again.
“I saw you somewhere in time, yet you’re not that…it’s you but-.”
She backed away shaking her head in confusion. “Have we met?”
He firmly shook his head, his insides quivering. He lied to her.
“No, but you remind me of someone, someone that I loved not so long ago.”
He held her tenderly. “You’ll never be lonely again…”
Their love withstood the altering of Fates and even the bitter liquid
can not destruct the foundation of love she built on him.
Eenah found him again, her love led her straight to him again
and Youko took the chance, he would not let her go.
She had seen past his human form and had come to recognize him.
May he be Youko or Kurama, she had come to love him.
~END
And he loves her more than life itself.
