I've been working on this bad boy for at least...oh god...a YEAR I think! Wow, that's a long time. I finally decided to post it.

Thanks to my awesome Beta, ikldmrogers. Without her, my tenses would still be wonky.

Disclaimer: Loveless is not mine. It belongs to Yun Kouga, and all the other people who made Loveless. I only own my characters Desiree, Effie, and so on.

Enjoy!


He asked me if I wanted to run.

At first, I felt the need to stay. The need to figure out what was going on.

I thought that if I could bring brother home, if I could put his soul to rest, then maybe life would be better. I felt as if I had been coasting over the truth, waiting for someone to push me under and show me the truth. But I knew know that I had to do everything myself.

If I wanted to know that truth, I knew that I would have to find out myself.

I was tired.

I was tired of everyone lying to me.

Of not knowing and of my most trusted allies not telling me what was going on.

But I also felt…

Fear.

Of what?

Of him.

Soubi?

No…

Seimei…

Maybe…

I'm scared of Seimei?

Yes.

When he asked me if I wanted to run…

I said yes.


Comments are whatnot are greatly appreciated!
