At the time my parents died in a fire that ravaged most of the town.I and my sister were the only survivors.

"You look silly with tears in your eyes."said a soft voice behind me.

I turned around and there stood a beautiful neko girl with pink hair and ears and a tail.Her eyes were as soothing as the moon.A bow was tied on the end of her tail.

"Whats wrong?"she asked sitting next to me.

"Nothing for you to worry about."I said turning my head away.

"Then why are you crying?"she asked with those innocent eyes.

I could tell she wasn't going to give up so spun her the story.She sat there listening to it.

"And thats why I'm here."I said looking down at the water.

"Really."she said.

I shook my head without moving it.It got silent as she thought of a way to cheer me up.Suddenly she lept at me and pinned me down.Then she started to tickle me.

"Hey.. stop."I protested as she wouldn't let up.

"Not until you smile."she said.

We carried on til the sky grew darker.

"Lets meet again."She said helping me to my feet.

"But I don't know your name?"I asked.

"Its Miyu."she said smiling.

"Mine is Rei."I called after her.

I coudn't wait for tommorow.

The next few years we started spending more and more time together.It was as if we were long lost siblings or something.One day I started to think of Miyu as something more than a friend or sister.I had fallen in love.

It had taken quite a while before I worked up the nerve to tell her my feelings but when I did I had decided I would do it in the place where we first met.

"Miyu theres a reason I brought you here today."I said as I sat down beside her.

"What is it Rei-san?"asked Miyu.

As I turned and stared into her beautiful bright pink eyes my heart raced as fast the speed of sound.I could barely sound out the words.

"I....I...lo...lo..lo...lo..love...yo..yo..you."I had stuttered in a low tone.

"What?"she had asked staring at with me with that innocent stare.

"I LOVE YOU!"I had yelled with all my heart.

At that all the world went silent as if we were the only things on the planet.I quickly began thinking of a way to apologize when she surprised.She had lept forward, wrapped her arms around me, and kissed me before I could say anything else.

"What was that for?"I asked jumping back into my skin.

"Because I love you to."she said.

"Really?"I asked with wide eyes.

"Since the begining."she said holding me.

And that was that we had became a couple.She was the one thing I could live for and she always made me smile.When we were together the world meant nothing to me without her.

Years had passed when I finally proposed to her.That made her the happiest neko in the valley but alas it was not meant to be.Three weeks before the wedding she came down with a deadly virus and was bedridden for the rest of the week.I pleaded with the doctors to cure her but there was nothing they could do it was already to late.She died shortly before we were to be wed.

It was because of her death that I decided to leave the village for so long.She was the reason for my life and now without her there is no purpose for living.
