As so often, the black, cold night fell. The gong strikes at a time she loved so much. The cold wind caressed her body gently.
The full moon shone in the sky. Ice cold, lime white and beautiful. It seems like he's swimming in the big lake in front of her.
The small waves break gently on the shore of the lake. A small inconspicuous hand movement and the breaking, yet soft waves turn into hard and beautiful ice formations. Another hand movement and it seems as if the moon is frozen solid in the middle of the lake.

She is captivated by all this beauty. But she is not the only one who is so captivated by this sight. Behind her, well hidden in the forest, two lilac-colored eyes watch this happen.

She carefully takes a step out onto the lake. The water under her feet freezes with each step a little further. The steps lead to the middle of the lake like a bridge. And then it reaches the center, reaches the "frozen solid" moon.
The black coat with the red clouds on it slides gently from her shoulders.
Then you can hear the beating of gentle angel wings. Her clothes shimmer white in the moonlight, as does her hair. Only their wings shine black.
A wild wind comes up, triggered by black feather wings.
Slowly and carefully, she rises into the air. The higher it rises, the freer it feels.

But he who hides in the shade of the trees is afraid! Afraid it might just fly away. Afraid she would go away without saying goodbye. Then the night is over again. Nowhere to be seen. But then the familiar beat of their wings can be heard again. It lands just a few meters in front of him. Her otherwise deep black eyes shimmer blood red in the dawn. The great black wings disappear again. Pull yourself back into your body. Almost silently she picks up her wet coat and pulls it on. A hissing sounds briefly and small clouds of steam rise. So the coat is dry again. For the first time she speaks to him. Her voice sounds soft in his ears. "Have you watched me again? Waiting here again to see that I will come back safely? Only to then quietly and secretly disappear again?" There was a slight hint of anger in her voice.

The sun was now higher and the blood-red eyes that told so much about them had become the tightly closed, unfathomable, black Iryds that they usually were.

He stood there motionless and confused. How did she know that he was always watching her on the night of the full moon. He hadn't camouflaged himself well enough, not taken enough care that she didn't notice him under any circumstances. Her voice tore him from his thoughts.
"Hidan? Say, why do you always watch me? Why do you always look at me sad and happy at the same time?"Did he hear curiosity in her voice? For the first time in all this time he was addressing her. For the first time in three years he had the courage to speak to her."
“Shouldn't you know the answer?” A very confused look from her since.
"You really don't understand it yet, do you? After all this time! Didn't you obey my thoughts? Have you never tried to read my soul?" Suddenly there was astonishment in her gaze. Should she listen to his thoughts? Should his soul read? She had never obeyed the Akatsuki members' thoughts before. Never tried to read their souls!
"Tell Lillian. Why do you never listen to our thoughts? Why don't you read our souls?" In her ears his voice sounded like a wind chime. Melodic. Beautiful.
Without wanting to, she answers him. "No, Hidan. I haven't read your soul. How could I if I found out things that you want to keep secret. If I could learn things that are cruel and not only hurt yourself." She paused for a moment.
Took a deep breath. "No, Hidan. I disobeyed your thoughts. How could I if I would disturb your private ferry." She paused again for a moment. "You ask why I am not listening to the thoughts of all of you, why I am not reading your souls. The truth is that I am afraid of what I might find. Hidan. Please understand. Whenever I start reading the souls of my friends, when I start listening to your thoughts everything goes wrong that can go wrong. I often, very often, lose those who are important to me. "Seriousness sounded in her voice, and her eyes shone something that Hidan could not read . She averted her gaze. Got to go back to HQ.
He thought for a moment. Then he took her hand resolutely.

"Please wait. Don't go yet! You answered my questions, so I'll answer yours." He paused for a moment. "You asked if I was watching you again. Yes, I was watching you because you are so beautiful. Yes, I have been waiting all night again, because whether you believe it or not I can live a life that you cannot live with any wise no longer imagine. Yes, I would have disappeared again quietly and secretly, but only to keep up the appearance that you go on the prowl. I watch you because you are the first woman I have seriously fallen in love with. Me look at you sadly because you are so inaccessible to me and probably stay that way. I look at you happily because I am allowed to look at you at all and therefore am simply unspeakably happy. Could she really believe her ears? Should she be out of reach for him? Wasn't it her since she landed here, thinking he was out of reach for her?
She had never cried in her life. She couldn't allow herself to show weakness.Tears were weakness. Yet in that one moment a tear stole from her eyes.
She had been silent the whole time. Let Hidan do the talking. Now a lot of it went down her throat, including such a stupid and yet important sentence. "You know, for me it was always you who was so inaccessible. Since the first day here, I've felt drawn to you. You are eloquent and damn tough. So I'm all the more surprised at what I'm about to say! I love you. "Meanwhile, Hidan was standing in front of her again, still holding her hand. He looked at her in amazement. But in the next moment she felt his delicate lips on hers. Very gently, holding back. But slowly more demanding and passionate. His tongue carefully traced the contours of her lips, begging for admission. She opened her mouth timidly. His tongue eagerly explored the foreign territory. Carefully he nudged her tongue, asking her to play with him. But at some point they had to break away from each other.
He smiled crookedly at her. “Are we a couple now?” His voice sounded uncertain for the first time. She smiled a tender smile and nodded. "Yes, Hidan. I would say we are a couple now." He kept smiling. Together they went back to the HQ. And so the story ends, which is also the beginning of a wonderful romance.
