Abandoned

A series of Claymore one-shots, we'll see how many I do. The mood of the show suits my writing style.

And no I don't own Claymore.

1. Waiting.

ClareXRaki

Your silver hair. Your faint smile at that time. Teresa. You and I together in my dreams. My hope, my hope that I am only faded and not dead.

-"Clare. Clare?" A voice in the distance, calling my name. "This has never happened before…..I wonder maybe I should just sit still?" The voice has started talking to itself. I recognise this voice, calling my name gently. Only you Teresa would call my name gently like this. But I can't pretend to be sleeping any longer. Another day is already awaiting us. "…..Clare looks very cute when she's sleeping. Ah but I shouldn't say such things what is she heard me?" His voice speaks almost in a whisper, he must be confident I wouldn't hear him. But I hear him as clearly as if he was whispering strait into my ear.

Today is the last day of our journey, we'll reach the city were I'm going to team up with another organization member to fight some yoma. Actually I would have liked to leave him at a inn in some nearby town. But we haven't found any. I hope I can get the job done quickly.

"I guess she's like an older sister or something." He sounds amused. Still talking to himself convinced I'm not hearing. But I can't remain in this fake sleep any longer so I open my eyes.

-"Good morning Clare!" He sounds so cheerful. So happy, happy to be with me. Even when he could choose to be anywhere else in the entire world. Have a safe home with normal humans to look after him, he chooses to be with me.

A half monster that can't grant happiness. Until Pricilla is slain I can't grant happiness to anyone.

Not even to you Raki. Who I care for like no other. Who I would want to have by my side like no other.

Teresa you showed me that there is still hope for warmth even in this existence.

-"I just got up, I mean it's not like you slept long so."

You want it to seem like I don't have such faults? I'm pondering; when did I start pondering? Pricilla does not lie dead on the ground, so I can not go where you went Teresa.

-"Well even if you would sleep long Clare you know that I'd wait for you forever." He smiles silly to me, still trying to cover up the obvious incident.

Well I hope that you mean that Raki; please wait for me. Please wait until I can go where Teresa went; and go to you.
