"I'm leaving Yoh"
Her voice was so quite but so strong at the same time.
He blinked trying to take in the sight of her standing there with a suitcase in her hands.
He was there. This was happening. But why didn't it hurt more?
He felt so odd. Like he wasn't there yet he had to be. He could hear the rain pounding on the windows the coming down in a steady pour.
"I'm not coming back."
She was standing at the door. He found it hard to believe, for some odd reason, that she'd even stopped at all. She looked so set and ready. Her small frame was pulled to it's full height with her shoulders squared.
She was looking at him now. Studying the features she knows so well, waiting for him to say something, say anything. He would later comfort himself by thinking that a small part of her had been waiting for him to call out for her to stay. A small part….
But he didn't. He didn't say anything at all, at least not what she'd hoped for or expected.
He was staring out the window, fixated on some thing in the distance. The rain was coming down faster than ever. Hard and cold.
Just Like her.
Just like he was now.
" Take an umbrella. For the rain."
She left with a slam of the door and not another word.
Now he stood there. Staring at the place were she'd just stood. Ant minute now she'd be back. This was just some trick…any moment now Ren and Manta would burst in. She'd come back in a minute laughing. Then he'd laugh. They'd all laugh and it would happily ever after all over again.
He was grinning now watching the door. She was his shaman queen. He was her king…
Slowly he sunk to his knees hours later as the truth dawned on him.
It was going to be happily ever after. The king and queen would live together in happiness. The queen never walked away.
But she did.
Woo. Odd new fic. this will be an Anna Yoh so hang in there!
