Unfinished Tales: Ch.1

Innocent Venus – A Friend Returns

I'm Listening To: "Yami no Shuuen" ~ Gackt

Description: So this is a classic case of several months of writer's block. Haven't been able to write anything lately. Sorry to everyone who've been waiting for more, particularly on Black Cat. These are just some halted beginnings to a few fanfictions. Hopefully, I'll get more time to think during a break from classes somewhere along the road… Until then, enjoy. Review if you like. I like to hear your input. Might get me out of this writer's hole… :)

The day was calm, just as it had been for weeks now. Sana bit her lip defiantly as she set down a bouquet of white roses on a smooth black stone. No matter what Jin had done, he was someone she would never forget. Now, almost ten years later, her heart still whispered his name on this one day… the anniversary of his death.

"You still miss him, don't you, Sana?" said a deep voice. A firm, but gently hand cupped her shoulder.

Sana looked up to see who had spoken. Her eyes fell upon a dark-haired man whose face she also couldn't forget as long as she lived.

"Joe?"

He smiled just slightly, his eyes gentler than she ever remembered. Everything about him seemed worn, but more relaxed, more free.

"I hope you've been well, Sana…"

Sana smiled wide and threw her arms around the quiet man. As she did, Joe could feel emotions wash over him that he hadn't remembered having for a long time. It was true that he had come back, but it was more out of desperation to finally silence the ache in heart than to catch up with old friends.

"I missed you, Joe!" Sana exclaimed brightly. Her grip tightened around him as her smile widened even further.

Joe reached a hand out to stroke her long beautiful hair. "I missed you too…" Encircling an arm around her, he bent his head and touched his lips to the top of her forehead. He had never known it until he left, but he loved her, perhaps more deeply than he even loved himself. So, now that he finally knew who he was, he couldn't help but come back and finally let her know. She was the one, the only person in the world who could ever melt his heart once made of stone…
