I pulled my jacket on. The nerve of that bitch. To think that I would want to participate in the upcoming event. My own demise. The nerve of me to accept the invitation. So I left my house and decided to do the human thing and take a train. What's with me anyway? Ryo-ohki met me at the station. She looked at me with those golden eyes of hers and gave me her most sympathetic meow. It took every ounce of will power I owned to keep me from kicking that stupid cabbit onto the tracks of the 12:35 train.
I boarded the train. Ryo-ohki and I sat in the back and peered out the window. The train started. Started the process of my execution. I thought of that bitch. Just another happy bitch on this planet while I suffered. But I left and never looked back. I swore that I would kill myself before I ever went back there. Instead, she was doing it for me.
"Two minutes to Okayama!"
Okayama. My burial site. Okayama the root of all evil. Okayama, the home of the man I once loved. Ryo-ohki and I left the train. Sighing, I moved across the station to the bus stop. All this humanizing myself made me sick. Physically sick. I threw up all the time. Nosebleeds came once I stopped having sneezing fits. All their clothes are too tight. Constant fevers and a new rash with the changing week. I'm almost tempted to break my promise and leave. Mother is in jail so who am I promising again? Oh yea... "him"
I looked up at that stupid ass house. I hated it. Just hated it. I walked right by it and ascended the stairs of the shrine where all the women in pretty white dresses stood. She moved gracefully across the ground to meet me. She held up her dress and she smiled. I could read every thing that smile meant. I shrugged it off and put on a phony half smile.
"You bitch"
She reached for my hand. She took it. And I just stood there cold and motionless as she thanked me quietly for showing up. Music cut her little thank you short and she prepared to walk down the aisle. Aeka met Tenchi down at the end and the wedding ceremony began. I leaned against a tree and crossed my arms. I shouldn't be here. Tenchi turned away from his grandfather and looked at me. I narrowed my eyes at him. God I hated him more than anything. He smiled at me. I flipped him the bird.
"Asshole..."
They kissed. They cried. I left. Sho met me at the station. He held me tight. He knew my feelings. I think I only lived for him. I think I could only ever truly love him, my Sho. And Sho loved me. We took the train back together. He took my hand and kissed it gently. I kept my head turned towards the window. Sho slid the ring on my finger while I slept. It would be my turn to invite her. And see how she liked it.
