Selene was on her way to her hometown to attend her father's funeral. It was a surreal sensation for her who spoke with him two days before by phone. Although Selene abandoned her home in a hurry 20 years ago, she still hold the place dear to her. Her job on one of the top PR business was taking all her time leaving just some hours for socialize wish she used it to sleep, walk around the city and evade dates. Her co workers and friends always joked about her being the crazy lonely lady until she get cats. But Selene wasn't interested on marriage or love. A long time ago she decided that was not for her.

The trip took longer than anticipated but it was her choice. The funeral was at two in the afternoon and she managed to arrived at noon at the house. Leaving her things on her old room, Selene managed to dress in a black suit dress with a pencil skirt and a black blouse. Her hair was made into a conservative bun, her makeup was subtle but perfectly hiding her scar on the nose. She decided to use some new brown contacts. She didn't noticed they were colored until she put them on. She left it on her travel bag for emergency cases. Since she forgot her glasses she decided to use them.

She arrived just in time to the funeral home. Most of the people was there waiting for the service to begin. Walking around no one dared to speak to her.

(I guess no one recognizes me) she thought.

Selene was no longer the tomboy she used to be. Always short hair, a few freckles on her face and the scar on her nose. She used to be a little chubby, wearing oversize shirts and jeans with a baseball cap. Compare to what she looks now Selene understood why no one thought she will be the same girl she was. Taking a look around she found many of her childhood friends around. Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Tomoyoti, Ieyasu Tokegawa, Sasuke Sarutobi, Mitsuhide Akechi and Mitsurani Ishida. Missing were Masasmune Date and Kenshi Uesugi as well as the Takeda boys. A pang on her heart was felt at the memory of them specially Shingen the older brother.

“Selene is that you?” a hand on her shoulder let her know that Masamune recognized her.

Smiling softly she turned around but Masamune's smile died when he saw her eyes. “Sorry, Miss.”

“Masamune it's me, Selene. I just made a mistake buying contact lenses and got these instead.” Selene was happy to see her best childhood friend. Her Dragon as she used to call it.

Masamune's smile grew into a wide grin and carefully hug her lifting her a bit of the floor.

“So this is not a prank?”

“No, its me be still being clumsy as ever.” she giggle softly.

“It's good to see you, kitten.” his nickname for her.

Soon the others approached and started to hug her and saying their condolences. Everyone was amazed to see her so changed. The service was soon to be begin so everyone took their seats when Shingen, Yukimura and Kenshin arrived. Selene remained unaltered and waited for the minister to continue.

Although late Shingen arrived to the service. He was shocked to hear that his mentor and almost second father Tomas Crawford died. They always met for weekends. Fixing an old Shelby Mustang that Tomas wanted to fix for her daughter's birthday. Shingen could barely remember Selene. After playing that prank to her on high school. Selene left the town without a word to go to college on another country. Leaving everyone on the dark. Tomas was always talking about her but it wasn't until five years ago that she managed to contact him again.  Tomas will always go out of town to visit her but he never said what was her job or where. Shingen never thought of her no more than a little sister, but Tomas had always mentioned that he would loved to see them together. Selene had a crushed on him but he didn't felt the same way. He thought the prank was harmless until Masamune told him how much it had hurt her. He thought of asking Tomas her address to send a letter but never muster the courage to do it.  Shingen also was upset for the way she neglected her father all those years. But although he wanted to tell her one thing of two he never asked for her address. In the end he became a wealthy man on construction business. He never lacked a good woman to warm his bed but lately he had preferred to live alone. One night stands, became boring and when he tried to get into a serious relationship the women were not interested. At some point Shingen thought this was Karma for what he made Selene go thru. Perhaps he might be cursed who knows. On the corner of his left eye he found a beautiful women with brown eyes. She was wearing all black the standard mourning attire. While in others it might looked ordinary in her look elegant, even beautiful considering the occasion. Shingen keep looking at her to see if he could remember her. Nothing on her features seemed familiar except her eyes. For some reason her eyes although brown remind him of someone else.

“And now we have some words from Tomas daughter, Selene. Darling could you please pass to the front please?”

To his surprise the woman who he was eyeing was in fact Selene. When she passed next to him a hint of lavender was left in the air. She looked delicate, yet with a strong will on her face. Her features soften a bit when she took a look at the room. But once she made contact with him, her gaze turn into cold one. Shingen couldn't hid his surprised.

(She can't still be upset isn't she?) Shingen thought surprised at her coldness.

“Thank you everyone for being here. I know papa, will be happy to have everyone here. Specially you Shingen since you both were really close.” Her gaze pose on him and for some reason Shingen didn't like it. Feeling uncomfortable he moved on his chair into a more straighten position.

“My father, was a man of simple life. He loved my mother dearly until her final days. And now he is going to meet her. I loved him dearly, even when we were very different, I know I couldn't be the son he always wanted but I know God never left him alone. Thank you for coming here today.” said Selene in the end blinking rapidly to contain her tears. Still too shocked to react Shingen couldn't take her hand when she passed him by. For the rest of the service Selene made it impossible to get near her. She was always speaking with someone and he for someone unknown reason lost the confidence to speak to her.

In the end Selene stayed until the workers started covering the tomb. Throwing a piece of dirt on the hole, she turned around to smash in front of Shingen's chest. Losing a bit of balance Shingen hold her, before she took a step back.

“Sorry I thought I was the only one. Excuse me.”

“Selene, why your eyes are brown? Were you trying to hide from me?”

Selene turned around not believing what Shingen had said.

“Wait, what? Me hiding?” she laugh a bit before saying. “I'm' sorry but I don't have any motive to do that childish thing. I made the mistake of buying colored contacts when I was buying them online. They were on my carry on when I came here. Now I have to go there is several things to do. See you around Takeda.”

“Wait Selene?”

Selene left without turning back, her heart was threatening to go out her ribs cage fir the way it was pounding. A mix of longing and hate were taking hold of her. For one side she was happy to see him. The years were wonderful for him. He looked even more handsome than before. Still with a wonderful smile as always. And still part of her could not forgive the prank he played on her. It wasn't a bad one but it hurt her feelings. At that time she was such a drama queen and she felt it was the end of the world. Taking her memories back to the box where she buried them in her mind Selene went home.

Shingen saw Selene leaving him in a hurry. She was not the shy tomboy that had a crush on him. She was a full grown woman and quite beautiful. The only problem seemed that she hated him and now he wanted her. Letting a huge sigh out Shingen went home to see his family and get in touch with the rest of the gang.
