A/N: I have decide to tweak the story the characters are the same but as for the circumstances; different hope you guys like it… dedicated to Yanagi Chan I have been reading your "Fanfics" for a whole week now I like all of your stories =D
The one who left…
Memorizing her features as he stares at her for the last time he turns his back… He longs to brush her tears away and promise her that he would return but he cannot make her believe in something that would never be… After all there story just wasn't meant to be all he can do for her is be cruel so she can move on…
Moving on… without him… without her… is the hardest thing. It makes him want to ask himself if there is any other way than this.
With each step came a painful realization that with each step he took takes him further and further away from the last remaining person that can make him human.
Someone who could feel… someone who could care and love… someone who can teach him on how to learn to forgive…the people that had hurt him before… and the person who he had become…
But now he must let go of that person; tears which he had never allowed to fall are falling freely. Leaving a numbing pain within his soul he had wanted to turn around and run towards her just to tell her how scared he was… how he wanted to stay but he simply cannot.
With the last ounce of his strength he continues to walk away as darkness enclosed him…
The one who stayed…
He had wanted to go with him on his journey after all he was his most loyal companion and friend. But he was torn between loyalty and love; loyalty for the friend he had been with all these time. Love for the person who had made his days complete.
Just a mere glimpse of her had sent a ray of hope through the darkness of his soul. He is her shadow standing close to her but she would never notice him.
For the man she loves is always with her, it saddens him but he is content to just stand guard and watch over his princess.
Yes Princess! She is the princess as he was her knight, protector and friend. Just as it was meant to be till now…
He had asked him to watch over her for he was going on a journey and he doesn't know when he will return or if he will ever return. They both knew that she doesn't need their protection for she is her own person.
One of the greatest fighter they have met she would surely live… but that doesn't stop them for worrying about her.
She had always been impulsive, quick to anger but just as quick to forgive. She had always been generous giving people hope and strength. A person who never gives up till the very end, in her own words till there is breath in me I will surely fight.
His friend had made it easy for him to decide to stay… a part of him had wanted to say no to his request the other part was elated.
But that elation was short-lived for he was losing his friend and there is nothing he can do about it. The only thing he can do is to protect her until the time he can return to her.
A simple task but a devastating one at that so close yet so far.
Watching his friend's departure and seeing her miserable tore his heart he longs to comfort her and he wanted to go with him.
A shadow in the darkness… a person in turmoil… a man who stayed…
The one who's waiting…
He had been watching in the shadows watching her watching him and one watching them at shadows. He never intended to be here he just wanted to make sure that she was ok.
She told him that he was leaving and that she cannot make him stay. He had clenched his fist upon hearing the news. But being the person that he was he had schooled his features to appear in control.
She was inconsolable and no matter how much he wanted to comfort her he was helpless.
After that he had searched for him to confront him of the matter the latter confirmed it.
Walking towards her he pulled her in an embrace just so she would not see the man she loves disappear in the darkness. It is the least he can do for a friend after all she had been with him through it all.
She had been with him when everything he had believed turned out to be lies. And when he was injured she was the only one who took care of him.
When everyone else had turned their backs from him she was the one who remained. She had been his rock. Someone he could lean on but he never did show his gratitude cause he thought that she would always be with him.
That is the part where he was wrong; yes she was with him but only as a friend. So when he came into their lives he was devastated. Yet she still consoled him telling him she would never leave him even if they were together.
She never knew his feelings and he would never allow her to know. He doesn't want to see pity in her eyes.
But a part of him is waiting for her to realize that he is the one she should choose for he would never leave her nor cause tears to fall from her eyes.
She had hold on to him while her heart is breaking;
He wait… for the tears to subside…
For the time she would heal… For the time when she would open her heart…
For the time she would love him…
He waits…
