Everything has a price.
It wasn't until a year back then that I fully understood the true meaning of those words. I was raised in a family of elite vampires. Power meant everything to us and that was what I had fought to attain and preserved. With power, you needed nothing else and I foolishly believed in that philosophy. If I had known how wrong I was, none of this would have happened.
It all started when HE came into my life. At first, I thought he looked rather weak. He looked normal in every area of his life except for his unruly chocolate hair that would never yield to any comb and a pair of chocolate eyes that if stared into long enough, would make you feel as if you were really loved by him.
Loved…
I hated that word. Love only brings suffering and pain. Love makes a strong person weak. Love is a curse. If it wasn't because of the other me, I would have ditched him, and trust me, I tried. Over and over again, I tried so very hard to push him away, but I never could push him far enough because despite being a weak, fragile human, despite shaking uncontrollably in the face of pain and death, he still protected his friends, he still protected me, and that is strength, but it is a strength which he gave everything for.
He gave his freedom to a school of monsters.
He gave his flesh to protect his friends.
He gave his blood in exchange for power.
He gave his soul to rescue me.
Finally, he gave his last breath to save the world.
He paid the price for us all and all we ever did was to keep taking from him. We never once tried to really understand him. I never tried to understand him. I was afraid he would one day abandon me like my mother did. I was afraid that I would lose myself to him. I was afraid of loving him. And now, I wished I had. I wished I had responded to his feelings when we were together instead of kicking him. I wished I had tried to give him the happiness he deserved before he left with despair and sorrow. I wish I had known sooner that Love isn't a weakness but a strength few could achieve. I wished that with all my power, I could turn back time. I wished…
I wished that what I see now before me isn't real.

The rain that was pouring all over me should have hurt like hell under normal circumstances. But under normal circumstances he would be right beside me offering what shelter he could provide me from the rain while he disregard his own well being. Under normal circumstances, I would not be standing before His grave that everyone knows does not contain his body, begging him to not leave me. I would not be on my knees crying my eyes out as I hurt from a pain far worse than any rain could inflict. A pain that could only be produced by a grim reminder set in stone that he will never come back to me again, that Aono Tsukune is DEAD.
