Another pointless little one shot... once again, this has HayatexHayabusa in it so be warned... no like? No read! Simple, ne?

Disclaimer: If I -did- own them they'd be making out whenever they one a fight... or just... plain making out during the fight... no,these characters are rightfully owned by Tecmo.

I watched in shock as he staggered backwards, honey eyes wide in shock. Warm, crimson blood streamed from the large gash in his side, staining the dirt. A sudden felt of sheer dread drowned my mind, my jaw dropping in absolute horror as Hayate fell to the ground, clutching his side, his own blood visibly seeping through his fingers.

Finishing off the ninja that had been keeping me distracted, I ran to his side, falling to my knees beside him. Tears stung my eyes as I looked down at his unnaturally pale face.

'Hayate…!' My throat felt as if it had closed up.

He gave me a weak smile, raising a hand to touch my blood and tear stained cheek. It must have been a draining feat because a moment later his arm fell to the ground again.

His chest was heaving violently and a trickle of crimson left his lips. I choked on a sob as realization dawned.

He was going to die.

He was going do die over a thing that wasn't even his concern. On a mission that he had participated in for my sake only, he was going to die.

'Don't you dare…!' The sound of my own voice was deafening. 'Don't you dare die on me…!'

Hayate laughed quietly, his face contorting slightly at the pain it caused him. His lips were red but it wasn't a healthy colour. Blood was forming in his mouth, staining his lips.

Regardless, I leant down and kissed him softly, my own tears dripping onto and staining his own cheeks.

'Aishiteru… aishiteru, Hayate…' My hands were shaking violently.

Another ghost of a smile curved his lips momentarily. He opened his mouth to say something but stopped. Meeting my gaze, he managed to find my hand, squeezing it gently.

Then, his head fell to the side.

I sat there. In shock. Holding the slowly cooling hand of my lover. My eyes didn't leave his face, eyes half lidded and dull, lips slightly parted.

Overhead, clouds broke, freezing rain beginning to fall around us.

No… not us.

Me.

I was all alone.

Of course, reviews are welcome... flames will be ignored or laughed at because they really are beyond stupid...

Hope you enjoyed, regardless.
