A/n: Hello everyone! If this is the first time you've read anything by me, I suggest you read The Frozen Lunar Flower first, since this story picks up where it left off. To my other readers, I'm back! Lol. I did promise more but with school and marching band I haven't had much time. On the plus side, I've been able to write in class, so I made some progress. Anyways here is the first chapter of fanfic number two!
Chapter 1
"What the hell are you talking about, Hige?" Blue asked, her voice shaking slightly. Why now? This just couldn't be right. She nervously ran her fingers through her short, black hair, contemplating all the possible outcomes of her current scenario. Hige stood directly across from her, his fingers drumming on his arm nervously.
"Look, I'm sorry, Blue, but something just isn't right for me right now," Hige turned his head slightly so he wouldn't have to see the pain on Blue's face. He really hated to hurt her like this, but there just wasn't anything he could do about that nagging feeling he kept having. Blue sighed and let herself fall onto the couch, her whole body suddenly feeling sore and terrible. Her chest felt as if it were about to explode and it seemed as if her throat had become as thin as a straw.
"This doesn't make any sense at all. Why are you doing this to me?" Blue felt a slight, agonizing tingle in her eyes and tried so hard not to cry. That would probably only make things worse.
"I'm just not sure. It just doesn't feel right and I've been thinking about it for a while."
Pink patches burst into Blue's cheeks. "You can't tell me that! It certainly didn't seem like that, especially last night." She didn't even bother stopping the tears now as they spilled down her cheeks. Hige looked away even more. "Besides," continued Blue. "I don't even know what to do now. I can't go home."
Hige resisted the impulse to pull her into a tight embrace. He knew that if he did that now it would only hurt her even more. "You can still stay with me if you want to. I mean, it would be lonely without a friend."
It seemed almost as if a bag of ice had been thrust down Blue's throat and into her stomach. Friend. Was that all he could think of her as now? After all they had been through and done in the past seven months, he suddenly just wanted to be friends.
"Right." Blue nodded as she wiped the remaining tears off her damp cheeks. "Well, I guess I'll move my stuff tomorrow. 'Night." Blue used every bit of her energy to stand and walk to the second bedroom, which was now hers. She gently shut the door behind her and then collapsed on the bed. Sleeping would be very difficult tonight, but when she woke up, the nightmare would hopefully be over.
Hige walked past Blue's closed bedroom door half an hour later, wandering into his own bedroom. He slid under the covers, half expecting to lie down next to Blue, but the bed was empty of everything except pillows and sheets. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he lay his head down, wondering exactly how things were going to end now.
