~ No Tears ~
I do not own the Xenosaga.
"Jin! You can't do this!" I cried. The feeling of hot, fresh, tears rolled down my cheek. I held my breath, waiting, waiting for his response. All he could do was smile, an insincere smile. "Answer me!" I screamed, tears flowing from my eyes, my emotions exploding out on every breath I took.
"Hana," he began. "This is what I must do, you know that." I hung dearly to every word he said. I didn't want to accept this, I didn't want to lose him. I gulped, thinking, over-analyzing, what I was going to say next. Finally when I got it, I choked it out, as clearly as I could.
"What do I have to do, to show you....I need you..." I murmured. What sadden me the most this point was not him leaving, but what he replied with,
"Goodbye." I clenched my fist, I could feel the anger build inside me. My heart was beating so loud, I wondered if anyone else could hear it. I looked up into Jin's velvety, brown eyes. They sparkled with a mixture of sorrow, and anguish. He had a pain stricken facial expression.
"Jin..." I quietly whispered. I stepped closer to him, diminishing the long distance between us, breaking the silence. I rested my head against his chest, and wrapped my arms across his back. Jin was startled, but he still settled his hands on my shoulders, and pulled me closer, closer into his warmth. If we could only stay like this, but we both knew we couldn't, because as fast as the moment came, it left. Jin pulled out from my embrace, and walked away. Leaving me, and our friendship, it crumbling to dust. I walked away in the opposite direction, wondering what I would do without him, because I've learned that absence from the one we love, is worse than any death imaginable. If only I had told him, maybe, just maybe, he would've stayed. I hung my head down low, and let my tears run down my cheek. I was surprised when none came, only a small smile, settled on the surface of my face.
"I hope you remember Jin, I loved you."
A very short shot one-shot including Jin, and my original character, Hana. I was sorta depressed and felt like writing this. You can say this takes place in III, before Jin died. T-T Review if you want....
