Yuyu's words:

Read this story after you had finished reading Neon's and Kurei's. Words in white were Neon's and Kurei's memories. Words in pink were Neon's memories and words in red were Kurei's memories.

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...

--------------------------------------
"Why, Neon?" Kurei said after reading finished the note .

"Why are you leaving me behind?" Kurei said softly.

"If you don't mind, I'll be with you till the end. We can find some place to settle down" Neon promised him to be with him forever at the little church.

Neon.. You forgot your promise.. Neon, Kurei thought.

Or you are angry with me.

Because of the incident that happened last night...

If it was because of it, I didn't meant to.....

"Neon, where are you?" Kurei said sadly....
---------------------------------------
"Kurei-sama. You are going to leave us?" Joker said when he received the news from Raiha. He dashed into the living room.

"No.." Kurei answered. "I'm going to stay with Recca for a few weeks at his house."

Kurei had patched up with Recca. They were now very close to each other. Even now Koganei often sticked around Kurei than Recca.

"Then will you take us along?" Joker asked as he spotted Neon entering the room.

"Maybe yes." Kurei replied but later he said. "Maybe no."

Raiha knew that Recca's house was so small for them stayed for few weeks. "It's okay, Kurei-sama. I'll take good care of the house when you'e not around." Raiha smiled at his master.

"I want to go! I want to go too." Joker shouted around as he missed Koganei.

"Then can I accompany you?" Neon asked as she didn't want to stay here alone. "Can I, please?" She moved closer to Kurei who was sitting on the sofa.

"Didn't I said? I said "Cannot!" Did you heard it?" Kurei shouted at Neon and moving away from her. As he was angry with Joker, he didn't realized he was shouting at the poor Neon.

"But..but I thought I could help Kagero to tidy the house." Neon whispered softly and tried to move close to Kurei.

"No need! They DIDN'T NEED you!" Kurei replied as he didn't want to bring anyone to bother Recca. In order to make Neon stop asking, he said. "I DIDN'T NEED YOU! So stay here." And left the room.

To Kurei, he thought that Neon would stop asking to go along with him to Recca's house after hearing what he said.

But to Neon, she was sad when she heard that Kurei didn't need her at his side. She came for far just to be at his side. But now he didn't need her anymore.

Tears falling down her cheeks. She wiped away her tears and ran pass Raiha and Joker. And dashed upstair into her room. The two of them were shocked. Nothing came out of their mouths.
-----------------------------------------

In her room, she was crying. Looking at the stars outside her window, she recalled Kurei's words.

"Didn't I said? I said "Cannot!" Did you heard it?"

"No need! They DIDN'T NEED you!"

"I DIDN'T NEED YOU! So stay here."

She cried until her eyes were swollen. But she decided to ask Kurei if his words were really came deep from his heart.

She went over to his room quietly. But she heard something more disappointing...
-----------------------------------------
"Kurenai. Do you know that Recca pathed up with me?" Kurei talked to Kurenai. "Finally 400 years later, we could be together." He smiled.

"I'm happy that I can be with my brother." Kurei smiled and thought of Recca's face. "And also I got you with me, Kurenai."

"We are going to Recca's house tomorrow afternoon." Kurei said. "I love you, Kurenai."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unknown to Kurei, Neon heard all the words he said in his room. She cried and ran away quietly.

She finally knew that Kurei loved was ALWAYS Kurenai.

His beloved Kurenai.

Not her. Even they were together at the little church...or even she tried hard to please him.

His heart was always beating for Kurenai...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But unknown to Neon, she missed the most important parts. That may changed her thoughts of leaving Kurei.

"We are going to Recca's house tomorrow afternoon." Kurei said. "I love you, Kurenai."

"Kurenai, I'm sorry." Kurei sid softly. "I think I found someone special after you died."

"She's beautiful like a rose. But she knew how to hide away her thorns." Kurei said softly as he thought of Neon. "I think I had fallen for her."

"She said she'll be with me together forever if I didn't mind." Kurei recalled the promise Neon made at the little church. He smiled and continued. "I think I'll never let her break this promise."

"Thanks, Kurenai." As he saw Kurenai smiling at him. Knowing that Kurenai had understand and was happy that he had found his beloved.

Kurei recalled that he scolded Neon at the living room in front of Raiha and Joker. He decided to go over her room to comfort her.

But he looked at the time. "2345hrs."

Maybe she had slept..., he thought

Wait till morning. Then brought her along to Recca's house.

I'll be with you, Neon.., Kurei thought.
---------------------------
"If I went over to your room immediately." Kurei blamed himself. "If I did... You'll not leave me behind."

He knew Neon had heard he talking to Kurenai in his room last night.

He knew Neon was hurt and sad when he said he loved Kurenai.

He knew Neon didn't heard he loved her...

Would it be too late to say out?, he thought.

Where are you? Neon..., he thought.

I'll find you...and never let you break your promise.

Even it took a few weeks or months or even years. I'll find you, my beloved Neon.
--------------------------
"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!

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

Neon recalled the moments spent with Kurei at here. She was staying at the little church. Even it was old and dirty, it was full of memories.

This was the place she loved. Cause she was with Kurei, smiling at him...

Where he smiled at her gently...and kissed her.

She knew those moments would never came to her anymore. Because he didn't need her anymore. He got Kurenai with him.

"I'll never leave you..."

"If you don't mind, I'll be with you till the end. We can find some place to settle down"

She recalled the promise she made here. But she knew it would never came true.

"I'm sorry, Kurei-sama." She cried as she thought of him.

"I hope that you'll be able to... lead a happy life..." She recalled Kurei's words. And decided to live here forever alone with the sweet memories she had with Kurei.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the other side, Kurei was also recalling the moments spent with Neon at the little church.

"If you don't mind, I'll be with you till the end. We can find some place to settle down"

"I hope that you'll be able to... lead a happy life..."

He recalled what he told before and her promise to him.

Two weeks after Neon left, Kurei was feeling down when he didn't find Neon. Raiha and Joker were also helping out.

Even the Hokage Ninjias were also helping...cause Recca and Koganei didn't want to see Kurei's sad face.

"Raiha, I think you go and report to Kurei." Recca said as they came back after searching for Neon. But they still couldn't find her.

"Yeah, Raiha. Please?" Fuuko asked, smiling at Raiha.

Raiha walked towards Kurei who was sitting at the sofa, looking at the garden. Imagining Neon was busy tidying the roses when she's around.

"Kurei-sama. We still couldn't find Neon." Raiha reported. "I'm sorry." He knew that Kurei was often sitting there since Neon left. Kurei was always looking at the garden. Because when Neon was still around, she often went to tidy the garden.

Even Raiha missed Neon. Joker was also missing the funs spent with Neon.

Where are you? Neon..come back. Kurei needs you, Raiha thought.

Suddenly, Kurei said something. "Maybe at the little church." As he recalled the moments he spent with her at the little church. He knew she treasured that moments very much and maybe she would go there.

"Let's go to fetch Neon back." Fuuko said as they could see the happy Kurei again.

"Yeah, let's go. Kurei-niisama." Koganei went over to hug Kurei.
