moonlight child, stargazed shadow, you travel the night like there is something left for you to see. tell me: where do you go from here ? you can't forever hide from the sun.
โ hm? no, I came here to see you. that's all. I do not wish to break your heart again. I may not remember it from the past, but I want to change it. โ
turning around, gaze moving to the tree and a smile forming upon his lips. crossing his arms while his gaze remained her.โ
it seemed that the sun's shine blocked her form atop the tree where she felt his presence and watched him the whole time.
heng'e took a deep breath, her eyes fixated on the back of his head.
swinging her bare feet, a soft smile graced her lips.
"are you here to try and-
โ yes, that is me. โ
his voice now at a whisper,, crimson hues staring into her people ones. he was going to ask how she knew his name but he could hear the people in the streets talking about him and what he did. stealing a vision from the shogun herself and then runningโ
" shh...... keep your voice down. "
her voice not even above a whisper; she's silent. She doesn't want them to be seen.
It'll only put him into an even worse situation anyways.
" it doesn't matter right now. you are kaedeha kazuha, correct? "
She's heard due

leaning back against the wall behind him, sliding down to the ground; breathing heavily as he did. so exhausted from all this running.
looking out to the street, watching to make sure the soldiers had ran past him. letting out a sigh of relief, leaning back then noticing theโ
commotion everywhere โ kaneko had been observing what has been going on so far from a distance; watchful gaze on a certain someone in particular.
it just so happens that when he had decided to hide where he did; kaneko had been able to locate him.

the vision hunt decree was after him now. taking the dying vision from the shogun was a stupid idea but he couldn't let her take it. besides, what use would she have for it if she killed its owner?
running through the streets of the city, running into people and falling down aโ
few times but quickly getting up each time; fear was the only thing coursing through him and helping him survive.
quickly, he hid under some stairs to hopefully escape their pursuit for now. obviously he couldn't stay here for long but it would do until he caught his breath.
it's been a while since he last saw @ofloveandkisses. he wondered how she was and where she was.
just wandering around the area they met at, gazing off at the sky.
something about his past reincarnations. the goddess he knew always looked like her, the one before him.
โ I remember you.. you always were punished more for making me remember you, goddess. I can't believe I had forgotten that.. โ
seeing her clothes soaked, he took his haori off and covered her with it. luckily, he had clothes underneath so he wouldn't be completely naked.
โ something bad happens everytime I remember? โ then suddenly, he held his head as if something came into his mind. he rememberedโ
it was always during a pleasant day that their path crossed in every reincarnation he had. yet, it will always end up with them soaked in the rains of her sorrow. but for once, he took her hand and looked for cover.
she looked at his hand that took hers, then looked up at him.-
living here, it's never rained this bad. was the weather connected to her emotions?
crimson hues looking at the woman once again, staring into her silver ones.
โ you can help me remember. show me things from my past life that were meaningful to us both. it feels like.. there's something blocking my past memories and I don't know what. โ
taking her hand, he lead them under some shade to protect them from the rain. in all his time ofโ
that's the thing, celestia punished her. this wasn't the first time she crossed paths with a reincarnation of houyi... every time, he will forget, only her. and the moment he remembers, something would happen. and this was the reason as to why she chose to isolate herself.-
memories he once had.
โ maybe you can try to help me remember. that might work. โ
crimson hues staring into her silver hues, walking towards and placing a hand upon her cheek. seeing her this way brought pain into his heart again.
โ I remember.. a beautiful goddess, but I don't remember her name or face. my memories are all a blur.. โ
feeling the rain upon his head, he ignored it and focused on the one before him. he tried to remember who she was but it was like.. there was something blocking the otherโ
there was coldness in the enchanting pair of silver irises directed at the man. her hand shook and eventually the blade dropped as she dropped on the floor.
oh the euphoria to plunge the blade right through his heart. but she can't. it was impossible. the love that she caged -
feeling the blade at his neck, he stayed still to avoid it from cutting him. a soft sigh escaped his lips.
โ ma'am, I don't know who you are. I only know who I am. โ
slowly backing away from her blade, he stood up quickly and held his neck where her blade was. why was she soโ
a wave of different emotions came through her as she felt his hand atop hers.
and like clear as day, she was taken back to that afternoon where the mortal houyi found her under the same tree where she was. the same voice, same kind smile...
going back to reality, her heart-
feeling her hand upon his shoulder, he took a deep breath.
โ my name is.. kaedehara kazuha, but no need for formalities. โ
the tone of his voice was low and sad, after all, he did just lose his friend not too long ago. this vision in his hand was proof of that. but he'd putโ
ah, this kid definitely went through a lot. it might be from a long buried past, but somehow she understood his situation. her eyes narrowed at the hand that seemed to be holding onto something so dearly.
it was best not to pry. but as she made way for him, she folded her arms-
