Falling
Yuuki Cross, 16 year old female guardian of Cross Academy and adopted daughter of Kaien Cross was sitting on the edge of a mossy cobblestone balcony, her toned legs swinging to keep her amused. Her black jacket half-unbuttoned due to the heat, revealing her silky, mid-cut, button up top of the colour white.
The tree line surrounding the campus grounds giving her an intense feel of nostalgia, the amber, brown and red autumn leaves scattered upon the uneven cobblestone path leading to the main building. Our young Yuuki's mind was absent from the present, repeating the events that has been gradually revealed to her.
A young man a year or so older than our precious Yuuki is leaning all his weight against the high cobblestone wall behind her. His pure white bangs hanging over his intense lavender eyes, his fingernails scratching at the tattoo of a rose on the left side of his throat.
"Zero, I'm hungry." "Can't you just resist your cravings for food for one minute?" "Fine. Be a big meanie."
Zero sighed out in exasperation, his long white bangs flying up for a moment from the air, Yuuki's soft, pink lips pouting in a childish manner. "Zero….", "What?" "When….when do you think you will drop to level E?" The pain and worry was very evident in Yuuki's voice, her lower lip starting to tremble at the thought of losing him to a cureless disorder. "I don't know Yuuki….I just….don't know." Zeros voice was filled with a hopelessness and frustration towards what he know will happen.
That's why he left that decision for her to make, the decision that will put her life on the line if she doesn't shoot him through the heart with the Bloody Rose. He tightly closes his pain filled eyes, a single sad tear escaping his eyes, falling to the cold stone beneath his feet at the thought of never seeing her again.
