Oky day. Since people liked my other story, I figured I'd do another one^^ This one's gonna be a little different than my last one. I'll explain in the author note at the bottom, I don't want to ruin the story.

Btw, I'll be using names of Japanese songs that I like for chapter titles. This one is 'Koishikute' by UVERworld. Each song will have some sort of connection to the chapter, so it really helps if you know the translation. If you want to know I can send it to you, or you can look it up, whatever floats your boat. You sould be able to see the connection...

**edit** wow, i was reading back through this and i saw some typoes so i thought i would fix them^^

I don't own Blood+....

Gone

Chapter 1: Koishikute

Il est allé…

Kare wa shindeiru desu…

The battle was over. Diva and her Chevaliers were finally dead. There would be no more fighting. She could finally live in peace the way they had always hoped for but never imagined possible. All that remained was to escape before the Military's Option D was carried out.

She was with friends but still, she felt completely alone… Empty. Because the friend that meant the most was not with them.

Throughout their journey she had endured many losses: Joel, Roman in Petrograd, David's father in Vietnam, her father George, her little brother, Riku, her second Chevalier… But this loss hurt worse than it all combined.

Why? Why did he do that? She could have done it herself, kill Amshel. But he did it for her. He shouldered her final burden. And it had cost him his life.

"Anata wo aishite imasu, Saya."

That was why… because he loved her.

How could she have not realized it sooner? It was painfully obvious now.

She should have told him. Told him she loved him, too. But she didn't. All she could manage she could manage to give him was a kiss. One kiss. For that one moment, it was just the two of them. A wonderful few seconds that, after over a hundred years of waiting, felt as wonderful as an eternity together. She was still tingling all over from it, despite everything…

"Let me go, Kai! I have to help him!" With a pained scream, she fought against restricting arms. It was useless.

Kai, with Lulu's help, restrained her in the back seat of Lewis' car as they drove away from the collapsing opera house.

Damn Kai! Damn him for not letting her help. She could have gotten him out before the bombs had hit. It didn't matter that she was tired, that her impending hibernation was hanging over her head. And if not, at least she would die with him.

"Saya, it's too late." A sad reply.

No, she couldn't be mad at Kai. He only wanted to help. He was doing as he was asked.

"Kai, onegai…" She whispered, her remaining strength was quickly vanishing. She felt her conscious slipping.

All she could do now was watch helplessly through the back window of the speeding car at the shrinking view of the Metropolitan Opera House. Away from the man she loved with all her heart. Away from everything that mattered.

The bombs hit and the remains of the of the once beautiful structure erupted into flames.

The ominous red glow reflected off the streaming tears covering her cheeks, her eye lids becoming heavy.

The car slowed to turn a corner.

"Hagi." She breathed, ears ringing, unsure if the sound even left her lips or if his name is simply reverberating in her head. Her view of the inferno was obscured by a building.

He is gone!

Her eyes closed and she knew no more…

A/N: So there you have it. This is gonna be about a depressed Saya.

I was wondering how Saya took Hagi's "death" (we all know he didn't really die^^ he's been through far worse) at the end of the series and this is what came into my head.

I usually stick with romace and fluff and the like, so this is my first crack at a sad-ish story, it's more depressing than anything really (to me anyways). I'm hoping to write a few more chapters for this thing. When its done it'll be about 4 chapters 5 at the most.

I'm gonna change things up a little bit. Nothing drastic. The show will still end the same as before. I'll explain it more next chapter.

If you like it, leave a review. It'll make my brain work faster;)
