Chapter One,

He was running after her,frantically calling her name. But she just kept walking,her blond hair floating behind her in the early summer breeze. That's when he realized something was terribly wrong. There wasn't snow during the summer in Japan,and that was where he and his Russian wife were living at the moment.

"Lita!Stop!!Lita!"he called,reaching out desperately for her.He sighed with utter relief when she stopped at the edge of the cliff,and turned to face him.Then his heart froze cold when he saw the look on her pale face.His lilace eyes widened in fear."Lita..."

"Bry,help me.I'm falling.And I've forgotten how to fly.Please help me."Lita whispered,then she stepped backwards off the cliff.

Bryan raced after her and tried to catch her,but he was too late.She was already falling.He screamed out her name."Lita...!"

"Lita!"Bryan screamed,jerking awake.He reached out for her,only to remember she wasn't there. He hung his head in his hands and silently began to cry.He just wanted to die at the moment.He missed her so very much.

--Meanwhile,Across Town--

Salya sat leaned against the shower wall,hugging her knees."Please...No...More..."she whispered unseeingly,her blue eyes a darker shade than they'd ever been.Thruogh the water,no one would see the tears that coursed down her face.

Rei sat across the hall form the bathroom,periodically banging his head against the wall.He just couldn't understand what he'd done wrong.All he'd done was hug Salya,and she'd freaked out.He just didn't know or understand.

He jumped as a scream enaminated from the bathroom.He stood and raced across the hall,throwing open the door.He rushed to the shower and took Salya into his arms.And immediately wished he'd put on some padding.

Salya scratched and kicked,resulting in three long scratches across Rei's left cheek. "No Tala! No!"she screamed,scratching across his right eye.

Rei held her close."Easy Baby.I'm not Tala.It's me,Rei."He held tightly as she struggled against him,eventually settling against his chest sobbing.Rei's heart was breaking,but all he could was watch her cry.And he was dying inside,and nobody knew it but him.

--Meanwhile--

Bryan glared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.His face was tearstained,and his lilac eye had circles under them.He vaguely recalled Lita calling him a raccon when he'd had similar circles.

He felt the tears falling again.He could see her smiling face in his mind.He growled and slammed his fist into the mirror,ignoring the painand the blood."God Dammit Lita!I miss you so!What did I do to make you leave?" he sobbed.

"Bryan...Help...me..."came a whispered voice."I need you..."
