Betrayal
"I loved you no more than you loved me, Youko Kurama."
Fists clenched as you started to walk away.
Those parting words, how they ripped his heart to shreds. Did that mean you had been playing him all along? Did the sweet moments that you both basked in, the afterglow of lovemaking, never mean anything to you?
"No more than you loved me…"
Why? You should have known, that woman hadn't meant anything to him. She was just an insignificant tumble in the sheets. And he had only lain with her as a trade for an invaluable diamond necklace, perfect for you.
You were the one he loved, the one he wanted. More than anything. So why those parting words?
"No more than you loved me…"
So, had that meant you had never loved him? After you discovered him with her, had you given up the pretense and showed your real feelings? It didn't matter…
"I love you…more than anything…" he whispered, but the wind took his words away. Lost forever, where no one would ever hear them again.
And in that dusk, autumn afternoon, tears cascaded down his pale cheeks, the last ones he'd ever shed again. Knowing it would be the last time he ever saw you, but hoping otherwise. As he also knew this would be the last time he would let himself near another woman ever again, the last time, he vowed, a woman would leave him brokenhearted.
You walked away, back straight, head lifted high, and face blank. The perfect picture of a woman with no care in the world. The perfect image of a woman who carelessly left behind the man who had promised her love, with no worry whatsoever.
While inside, you cried and broke out. He had never loved you, he had played you all along and you had fallen for it. Tears shimmered in your eyes, but you'd die first before ever letting them out.
That woman…
Youko's face swam before your eyes but you closed your eyes and erased him. You would never let him near you again. It was enough with the agony you had now; you didn't need the reminder of his betrayal.
And God help you, saying those words was the hardest thing you'd done. You'd wanted to be in denial, ignore what had taken place but that would have been the coward's way out and you weren't a coward. Not for a long shot.
You'd never see him again, of that you'd make sure. Even though, inside, you knew you'd always love him.
That was the last time either of you saw each other…{1}
1- I'm not sure if I should make them reunite or leave them as it is.
What do you guys say? Leave them separated or get them together?
