Ritsuka

The water splashed onto my ankles, it was freezing. I ran down the beach, the only light to guide me the moonlight. Soubi was behind me. He grabbed me by the waist and lifted me high over his head. I couldn't help but laugh and scream like a little kid. I couldn't remember having any memories like this from before. Seimei probably had never liked the sea...at least I got the feeling it was like that. And what Seimei didn't want we didn't do. That's how it always went. Soubi's laugh echoed in my ears.

He held me close and for a minute time stopped. I wanted to stay in this moment for a long time. He set me on the ground and kissed the top of my head. I heard the shells in my pocket clink together. I leaned against him as we walked down the beach. He ran his fingers through my hair. "Are you happy Ritsuka?" The question echoed in my mind.
