It was early in the morning. The birds were chirping outside the window. A figure stood near it, seeing the happy couple. As she went over to touch them, they flew awy.

"Even they can be together." Neon said sadly. "Why can't I be together with him?"

Neon saw the birds flying high up in the sky. She wondered if she could be with Kurei together forever. She shaked her head as she knew the answer to her question.

Suddenly she felt giddy and sat beside the window. She could still recalled all the old memories...of meeting Kurei.

In a rose garden, a figure was busy tidying the place. Suddenly, she spotted someone special.

"Neon, can you give me a rose?" Kurei asked Neon.

"Yes. How many do you want?" Neon answered happily as she was able to talk to him.

"One." Kurei answered. As he received the rose from Neon, he said softly, "It is as beautiful as Kurenai." He smiled sweetly.

To Neon, it was the most happy moment. Even though she felt jealous. But she was happy to see Kurei's smile.

Yeah, it was the first time I saw Kurei-sama smiled so sweet. Even though he liked Kurenai, I wished both of them could be together. Thank for everything, Kurenai. For making Kurei's life full of joy, Neon thought.

"Here you are." Kurei said as he pinned the rose on Neon's hairs.

"AH!" Neon was shocked. Nothing came out from her mouth.

"You are a beautiful lady." Kurei added. "You are like a rose. But you know how to hide away your thorns."

Kurei left the garden, leaving Neon. She was shocked when Kurei said something to her. That day, something changed. Kure's status in her heart got higher.

"Why are there bad things happened to him?" Neon added sadly as she recalled Kurenai's death.

Kurei's Beloved Girlfriend, Kurenai.

"Raiha, I want to join the Uruha Jushin Shu." Neon told Raiha.

"Are you sure? It's tough for you." Raiha replied, hoping to change her mind.

"I want to protect Kurei-sama." Neon added as she had made up her mind.

The trainings were tough. So tough that Neon couldn't stand it. But she forced herslef through the trainings.

To her, even the trainings may killed her. She was willing to go through it. It was because to her, the only medicine was Kurei..

Her beloved Kurei who she loved whole-heartilly.

To protect Kurei. Be at his side. All this was the medicine to keep her going on.

Finally, Neon became a member of Uruha Jushin Shu. She hoped to protect Kurei. But something terrible happened..

"Kurei. Didn't I told you that you don't need any feelings!" Mori Kouran shouted at Kurei who was trying to get off from Mori's bodyguards.

"Kurei. You are just a killing machine." Mori kicked Kurei as he went over to Kurei. "Why are you sticking with Kurenai?"

"I didn't!" Kurei answered, hoping Mori would free Kurenai. "I didn't feel anyhting for her."

"Really? Then KILL her, Kurei!" Mori threatened Kurei. "KILL HER!"

"NO." Kurei trembled.

"No, please don't hurt Kurei." Kurenai asked Mori as she saw Kurei full of bruises. "Just punish me. It's my fault." She forced her way to Kurei.

"Kurei. Remember about you mother, Tsukino?" Mori asked. "Remember the thing inside her body? Remember my warnings?" He took out a remote control.

"No." Kurei said as he recalled what it was.

"The same thing was also inside Kurenai's body." Mori threatened Kurei. "This is your punishment." Then he pressed the remote control.

The bomb inside Kurenai exploded, and in result, Kurenai was killed.

"NO!!!" Kurei screamed when he saw his beloved Kurenai falling onto the ground.

"Kurei...kurei." Kurenai forced her words out. "I want to be with you forever..ever." And she was no longer to awake anymore.

"NO!" Kurei cried. "Kurenai." He hugged the 'sleeping' Kurenai. "You'll be together with me forever." Kurei's purple flames took over of Kurenai and changed into her shape.....

Unknown to them, Neon had spotted the whole incident. She felt sad for them.

And that made her clear

Protect Kurei-sama from any harms, she thought.

But only one sentence that was still deep inside her heart was never being said out....

Memories flashed back in her mind. She felt her tears falling down.

In her heart, it was full with Kurei. But it was also empty because Kurei didn't feel the same way as her.

She recalled the night after she told Recca about Kurei's past...

"Neon." Kurei said. "What did you told Recca?" He slapped hard on the face.

"Kurei-sama." Neon said softly as she fell onto the ground.

"Which side are you with?" Kurei said angrily and kept kicking her hard.

"I'm sorry." Neon replied.

"Forget it." Kurei suddenly said. "Tomorrow I'll beat them down!"

After that, Kurei's status in her heart still never changed even she was badly hurt.

After the tournament, Mori turned on Kurei. In result, Kurei was badly hurt. Neon went to save him but ending up falling into the sea with Kurei.

It was sweet and memorable, she thought.

More tears falling down her cheeks.

"No!" Kurei screamed after dreaming of Mori snatching all his beloved ones from him. "Where am I?" He thought.

"Kurei-sama. You finally woke up." Neon said happily. "It's a little old church."

"I'm sorry that I'm unable to bring you to the hospital. Cause I'm scared that Mori would do more harm to you." Neon added.

"Here, have something to eat." Neon passed a bowl of soup and a loaf of bread to Kurei.

"You looked pale, Neon." Kurei said softly. "I'm not hungry. You eat something."

Don't worry about me. Just knowing that you care is enough for me," then proceeded to feed him his lunch.

"What's wrong?" Kurei asked as he saw Neon smiling.

"It reminds me when I'm still your maid." Neon answered. "You often give me troubles." She laughed.

"Sorry."Then, Kurei choked on his food as he was suddenly reminded of how everyone he loves has been lost to him.

"What's wrong, Kurei?" Neon comforted him.

"Everything's gone." Kurei trembled as he recalled his dream eariler. "I don't want to fight anymore. I don't...don't want to fight."

"It's okay. No one will blame you." Neon comforted him. "No one will blame you."

And promised to be with him forever, even suggesting that they go to a place where nobody lives and live peaceful lives. Kurei was still afraid and Neon hugged him. Overcome with emotion, Kurei suddenly pinned Neon to the floor and she was totally shocked. Neon thought, "I'll never leave you..." and they kissed!

Her beloved Kurei.

She looked out the window. It's raining.

Even the sky was crying for her, she thought.

She stood up and looked at her luggage. She knew she had to go...

As Kurei didn't need her anymore.

In her heart, she knew that Kurei liked Kurenai and she liked him. The only thing changed was that she had woke up from her fantasy.

Few years ago, she came to this house. And found someone special and loved him whole-heartilly.

Now, she was going to leave this house. She still loved him whole-heartilly.

The only thing she didn't get was the return love from him...

She left her room quietly and the house too. Standing outside the house, more tears falling down. She had no idea to hink whether it was her or the rain..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kurei:

When I first saw, I knew I found my only love. But to you, I'm just a maid. Because Kurenai was the only love you had in your heart. I knew you loved her whole-heartilly.

Thanks, God! That Kurenai and you could be together forever. Even it hurted my heart, I wished you all the best.

And you didn't need me anymore. You're free from Mori and you had Recca with you to joke around..

Thanks, God! That I have met you. All I want to say it:
" WO AI NI ! ( I Love You !)"
Neon...
