Authoress' Notes: Ah, I wanted to do something crazy for the last 7 days before my graduation, and I somehow stumbled upon an article on the net about the stages of loss, which is what I think I'm going through right now. And so I searched for fitting songs of Sound Horizon to listen to and made small fics for those, one written for each day. Basically I started yesterday, but for some unfortunate reason I was unable to upload it together with the last chapter of The Last Song but now I'm here again! And this time I'll be sure to update everyday because this project is something special to me… For more information I really think you should drop by my profile page to understand... Because I am so late...

Disclaimer: I'm gonna marry Heika to own Sound Horizon! *gets multiple shots*

Seven Stages of Loss

By: Syaoran's Sakura

Stage 01:

Yakusoku no Rouge (Norowareshi Pierre)

Losing

Ah, it was like a dream, that particularly moonless night when he left. With an embrace of sadness and a kiss of goodbye he had set off into the uncertain horizon, leaving behind a tearful girl clutching her chest tightly. Held in a vice-like grip of her hand a crimson diamond sparkled with her tears, the crystalline drop sliding down the smooth surface like blood.

"This diamond, they say that this is the best in the world, so I named it after you, Michele, because you are also the best in the world…"

The tear seemed to make the blood-red stone glow brighter, as its emotions caressed the woman sleeping within her bloodied cradle. For a moment the woman stirred, distant dreams seemingly pulling her from her paradise of a nightmare, of a male promising her the same thing, of a return that had never come. A frown formed on her painted lips, which was soon replaced by a malicious smile as the woman, relinquishing her contact to the living world, sank back deeper into the murky abyss of her dreams, her lips endlessly chanting as if taunting and mocking the young girl who now held her crimson cage gently.

"Ah, promises, promises

They were never meant to be fulfilled

My dear, your wait will be in vain

Because promises are meant to be broken

Like a fool you'll still wait

Until morning and night bade each other goodbye

Well then, wait all you want, and while doing so

Shall we paint your world red?"

Syaoran's Sakura: Ah, so that's the first stage! I do understand if it is not good enough, but to get the whole point straightened out; the girl in the first part is a OC named Michele, and the one speaking in the first part is her lover. The last paragraph is of the Michele the Queen of Bloodbath in Norowareshi Pierre. Any questions you can still ask me!
