A/N: Another take on YunCyn's "Promise" from Kyo's point of view. Thanks for reading!

It had been a mistake to allow her to be this close to him.
Soft hesitant footsteps…
It had been a mistake to allow her to know him.
Hands clasped uncertainly…
It had been a mistake to allow her to fall in love with him.
And it had been a mistake to allow himself to fall in love with her.
"Kyo…"
Don't.
"…you…"
Don't say it.
"You won't leave… will you?"
Damn. Damn you, stupid woman. Why ask me? I can't answer you. I can't tell you anything I'm not sure of myself. I can't promise you anything.
"I won't."
I can lie to you so easily. Make you cry so easily. It's all so bloody easy. You should hate me for that. Loathe me. Do anything you want, you stupid woman, fear me, despise me… anything but love me.
"You won't what? You won't leave or…"
Stupid, stupid idiot. I don't know. I don't know if I even have a choice at all to stay or to leave.
"Or you won't stay…?"
I really don't know.
He could feel her head pressed between his shoulder blades. Her small hands gripped tightly around his waist, so hard they both couldn't breathe.
Don't touch me. Don't come near me. It's not worth getting yourself hurt for a murderer, a demon, a slayer of more than a thousand men…
Me.
She was starting to cry.
Stop it. You're not that weak. You're so much stronger than this. So strong. You can be strong even without me.

"…Kyo… please don't leave me."
-
I want to stay.

Owari.
