Sheridan it had been, he remembered. Such a long time had passed but he could
still recall every detail. It was the first time he had been that close to her
ever since he got kidnapped. With a sigh he laid back on his bed. The images,
sounds and her sweet scent mixed with the salty sea breeze came back to his
mind, just as if it had happened moments ago...

He felt her soft lips on his cheek and instantly froze. He kept staring at the
smiling face of the young, blonde woman right in front of him. Her face remained
just a few inches away from his. She frowned. "Asch? Are you all right?" 
He slowly shook his head, still not able to say a word. Why would she?!- 
"It was just a kiss on the cheek to say thank you, Asch. Remember, we used to do
that quite often as children. It didn't bother you then."
Finally he could move again and took a few steps back. "A-as children, yes! That
was years ago! We aren't children anymore! J-just don't do that so carefree!",
he muttered rubbing his flushed cheek. It wasn't that he didn't like it. In fact
he really had enjoyed it. But sadly it was not possible. He had already let his
past life behind. His family, his home... and  her.
Noticing her sad face, he regretted his reaction. Hurting her wasn't his
intention at all. It wasn't her fault after all. He cleared his throat,
suppressing the sudden urge to embrace the girl he always longed for. 
"Listen, Natalia. In our current situation something like this wouldn't work.
It's too dangerous... and too distracting. I need to destroy Vandesdelcas
disgusting plans before he can harm even more people." I just can't rely on that
stupid replica, he silently added in his mind. "But after that... I'll keep my
promise... you have been the one and only person who ever made me pinky swear
after all... I don't think such a promise could possibly be broken." 
A small smile appeared on her unusually pale face. "You always hated that,
didn't you?"
"I still do." He smiled back.

Back to reality he opened his eyes, wondering if she was still believing in the
promise he had made once again on that day. But it didn't matter anyway. He had
made his desicion. The dead should better stay dead...
