DarkTaoAngel: I don't own Shaman King, sadly. This story is a continuation of my other story, "I Still Love You." Please R&R, because it's only my second fic. Thanks!
He had been gone for almost than a week now, and she still hadn't stopped crying for him. First her brother, now her boyfriend was gone, too. Why is the whole world out to get me? She thought as she solitarily stared out of the foggy window pane in her room. She had hardly left that spot, she felt no need to. She thought that if she left, someone else that she loved might leave her. She had felt sad and alone these past three days. Not because no one was there for her, but because she didn't want to see anyone, so she told them to go away if they tried to help her.
"Pirika," someone familiar called from down the stairs. She knew it was Yoh, because he was letting her stay at his house until she recovered, even though he knew it would take some time.
She completely ignored his calls for her, regardless of how rude it was. She knew he was going to try to cheer her up, but she didn't want him to. She wanted to feel the pain, the sadness, because she knew that it was her fault that Horo and Ren had felt it. If she had just stayed with them it could have been her, not them that had suffered; now they all had suffered, and she still did.
"Go away." She managed to choke out loud enough for Yoh to hear her. She could hear him walk away, listening for further instructions from her, but none came. Pirika sighed and went back to staring out of the desolate window. She just wanted to see one of them again. Even if it was only for a minute, she wanted to know that it was going to be fine, not from Yoh or Anna, but from her brother or Ren. But as the days passed, no hope came, and she slowly slipped away into the darkness of the cold, lonely nights.
She missed them dearly, she knew that the others did too, but she had known them better than anyone else had. There was a darkness in her heart, an empty space waiting to be filled back up again.
Pirika knew there was nothing more for her to do but wait, because if she was meant to find happiness, it would have to come to her. She no longer left the house, she didn't want to make anyone else's lives miserable. She kept all of her feelings bottled up inside of her, anger towards herself for not helping to prevent what had happened, sadness that they were gone, and pain because she knew that even if she had all of the hope in the world, they would never be back.
One thing that she didn't know was that all of her hope would bring her something she had needed for the past three days, something that would clear away almost all of her sadness.
DarkTaoAngel: I hope you liked this chapter! What could it be that is going to cure Pirika's broken heart? Who is going to help her now? All of that will be answered in the next chapter! Please review, even if you didn't like it, because it would like to know what to change to make my stories better!
