Author's note: These themes are done for the LiveJournal community 52flavours. I will also be basing the story off of the manga storyline since I have never seen the TV series.
There also will be spoilers for those who haven't followed the series to where I am at now, so read at your own risk!
once upon a rainy
day
Theme #1 - Kan, ya ma kan (Once there was, and once there was
not.)
There is a river called
the river of no return
Sometimes it's peaceful, and sometimes wild
and free
Love is a traveler on the river of no return
Gone,
swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea
— The
River of No Return by Marilyn Monroe
Once there was a new hope. Though as thin and fragile as a thread, it glimmered with the same promise of a world free from pain. It was a promise of a next opportunity, a promise of a new life, a new beginning, and fresh love.
Meroko remembered this when she first became a shinigami. Some called it a blessing, others a curse, but whatever it was, she clung onto it desparately.
Although she had vowed never to fall in love again, she found herself more than happily content just by being with Izumi. She believed their partnership wasn't just a coincidence — out of many of the shinigami she knew, she felt that she could relate to Izumi the most. Although Izumi rejected her, coldly telling her the reality that she would be the one hurt if she continued to love him like this, Meroko felt that beneath his callous exterior laid a gentle soul, thirsting for warmth and love. Looking into his frigid eyes, Meroko shuddered, not because of his icy stare, but because his light-colored eyes was a mirror reflecting her own inner feelings.
Meroko was crestfallen when Izumi confessed that their shinigami team was going to break up, but her hopes were brought up when Izumi promised he would stay. Delighted with the matching clothes she received from him as a present, Meroko, touched with Izumi's dedication to Miru Meiku, was brimming with hope than ever.
It was only when she found out Izumi's other end of the bargain, that she would be the one breaking up the team, did her hopes fall. Rain fell and mingled with her tears, but the icy droplets of the rain did not hurt as much as the cold, numb feeling building up in her soul.
Once there was a new hope, but now, it was just as shattered as much as her broken heart.
