Author's Note: Okay, so it took all of my will to actually submit this. (I have low self-esteem regarding my writing.) I'm still relatively new to writing fanfiction and stuff like that. Er, so I apologize if it's bad, character-wise. Uh, I'll shut up now...


Warning: Major spoilers for the manga. (Chapter 120) - Though I obviously tweaked the situation; Maybe OOC-Sai?


A dark red pool of blood began to form around her head. Her eyes began to lose their light. X cradled her head in his lap. He didn't know what to think. Why did he care if this human lost her life? He had killed so many people mercilessly, why would this one be any different? He knew this would be coming. And yet, he felt an odd feeling. What was it? Anger? Sadness? He clenched his hand around the fabric of his clothing.

"Ai…" he said aloud.

How stupid. Humans are so fragile. It was so simple and easy to lose ones own life. Wasn't Ai different? She was so different from the rest. She thought differently and acted differently. Oh, how he wanted to rip her open to see her insides. And yet, this human had managed to evade the fate that every other person had not succeeded. From the moment that she joined up with him, he had never felt truly alone. And now…

She began to draw her last breath. A new urge took over him. He leaned his face near hers and softly pressed his lips against her own. And then…she was dead. X wrapped his arms around her cold body. He brought his mouth next to her ear and whispered.

"I'll miss you."
