Chapter 1: Prologue

PLZ ENJOY AND REVIEW

"Wake up Takumi! You will be late otherwise." The raven haired wife yelled at her husband pulling away the covers.

Takumi pulled the covers back and said, "Its Sunday love, where do I have to go today?"

"It's your interview at that talk show, remember? You have them tailing you for the last four months, get it done and over with. Its 8:00 already, get up."

"It's just 8:00, I slept at 1:00 last night." Takumi tried to reason.

"Seven hours of sleep is more than enough, now get up."

Finally yanking the covers away, Misaki stumbled a few steps back, watching her fall her husband stood and with an inhuman capacity tried to catch her before she fell. He couldn't stop her from falling but he caught her head and waist at the right time, they both fell, Misaki beneath him; though her head was saved by his encasing hand, which made the contact to the floor first. Their legs tangled in the covers, Takumi tried and succeeded in not crushing her completely, breaking his fall with his elbows and knees.

Misaki's head emerged from beneath the covers and she looked at his face, inches apart; their lips aching to touch each other, feel the same love which was so immense in their eyes, physically!

A chuckle escaped each of their lips and they both tried to untangle themselves.

"So, I need to fall or hurt myself to get you out of bed!" Misaki mused, and then everything fell silent.

The very difficult laughter and amusement that reached their eyes completely lost!

Then awkwardness took place of silence and they both stood up and Misaki asked him to get ready and do it fast; as plainly as their routine had turned to be!

After a while, when Takumi was in the shower he almost felt like crying! He wanted to blame it all, blame it on someone, anyone! Maybe himself or his work, at least not her, which she definitely think is responsible for their situation. But he knew it wasn't her fault.

'Damn! How do I blame this on someone when I don't know what is there to blame? Blame it on what? Destiny? Fate? Circumstance? Ugh!'

He wanted his old life back, the way they both smiled at the mention of each other's name, they still did smile but a pain accompanied those smiles. Guilt accompanied the kisses. And fear accompanied love! But the worst of all and which was keenly felt by both of them was the loss that accompanied touch!

A/N: This story has taken a life of its own in my mind now, and I hope you love them as much as I do. This was a short chapter as it was a prologue but others won't be as short. I will be updating soon, thank you all those lovely readers, followers and reviewers who have started the journey with 'never let me go', which crossed over 200 reviews, I can't thank you people enough for the support you showed me on my first story.

As always your reviews are priceless, and I am eagerly waiting for the response on this story.

And this chapter is dedicated to my parents, not exactly with the content of this chapter, just my work, because this is a gift to them on their 20th wedding anniversary. Yup! Twenty years. I am thankful for all that you both have done for me, though neither of you would be reading this.

Cyber XOXO.
