Aishiteru Mama-An Enzan Ijuuin Fanfiction.
A young boy who looked no older than the age of six, stood in front of the large gray headstone in an intense stare with his little feet planted firmly on the soft green patch of grass. He stretched out his arm feeling the hard and cold surface on his palm with the cool spring breeze picking up his eggshell white colored hair slightly blowing the strands of black that was underneath it.
"It's been a month Mama... I miss you so much..." He whispered to himself with his tiny hand still on the tombstone looking at the bold words that were engraved into it.
"I wish you didn't have to leave. You promised that you would stay with me and Papa forever and ever..."
He could feel the water forming in his cerulean blue eyes but yet not one drop fell; instead he kept them held in afraid to let them loose.
"You promised me that by the time you got better, you would take me to the park underneath the big oak tree where you first met Papa and you two became very happy with each-other."
His little body trembled with pure sadness and pain but his palm was still clenched tightly around the stone in fear of letting go and he would feel nothing but coldness once again.
"Why did you have to leave? you could have stayed and we would of been an even happier family than how we were before! Why did it have to be this way!?" Soon, he couldn't take it anymore; cheeks flushed red and wet with his own salty tears cascaded down his chubby like features as he fell down to his knees and wept until no more water could be produced. His Father who was dressed in an all full black suit stared down at his son placing a rough, firm but warm hand on his shoulder to calm him down. What he expected to be a warm and sad smile the minute when he turned around to look up was nothing but cold and indifference like the death of a loved one didn't matter as long as was able to pay his final respect to his wife and leave once and for all.
"Enough, stop crying now." He said stern and firmly which made him wipe his face and nose with his shirt sleeve as he looked up towards him once more.
"Your mother is dead, it is over we must move on with our lives; you are an Ijuuin and Ijuuins never shed tears no matter how tough the situation is. She can no longer be with you anymore so get that into your mind this minute and get up off the ground." They stared at one another for what seemed like 5 minutes before turning his back towards him as he soon walked away to their black limo.
He watched until the adult male was nothing more than a tiny dot as he paid attention to the stone laying down a beautiful white rose planting a kiss on the stone.
