This is the third one-shot I'm attempting, so please do review! I'll keep working hard to improve. Thank you for your reviews again! This time, I have decided to try a Anna/Yoh/Tamao one, inspired by the song, Kazauta by W-inds. It's under Tamao's POV. I hope you all will like it!
Saying Goodbye
I wasn't sure why I was taken in by the Asakura family, and even began training there, and neither did I know why they would take pity on someone as pathetic as me, but I was glad I didn't turn down the offer to train and serve there, because I got to meet brother Yoh.
Brother Yoh wasn't hard to get along with, which was probably why I was so drawn to him when I first met him, and he was very kind and friendly to me. We got along very well, until I realized that I've developed feelings for him, and no, it wasn't just love as a friend. It was more than that.
Of course, I was shocked with myself when I found out, and hated myself for liking brother Yoh. After all, I was just a shy, stupid, pitiful orphan, serving brother Yoh's family and training there, so what right did I have to like him? I despised myself for harboring hopes of brother Yoh returning my feelings, and hated myself even more when Miss Anna came into the picture.
She knew at once, of course, that I loved her fiancé, but she was never mean to me, and, although I feared her, I respected her as well, and never was jealous of the fact that she got brother Yoh so effortlessly. I couldn't bring myself to hate her; after all, she's done so much for me, helping me when I needed her most… It would be cruel of me to harbor hatred towards Miss Anna.
I didn't believe brother Yoh was oblivious to the fact that I loved him as well, but I can't be sure. However, whether he knew or not, brother Yoh was always polite to me, his smile never once faltering when he saw me.
I continued to love him, before, during and even after the Shaman Fight, waiting, hoping, however pointless I knew it would be, my feelings growing stronger each day. I felt so useless, so hopeless, and so weak… I didn't even have the courage to tell brother Yoh that I loved him.
How could I, when brother Yoh looked so happy and fortunate with Miss Anna? If I told him, he would probably never look me in the eye and smile that beautiful smile of his at me again… It would trouble him greatly, I'm sure of that.
It was hard, but I must let go. Such would have been the outcome, anyway. It didn't matter if I loved him; he has eyes only for Miss Anna, and nothing can change that fact.
How long would it take for me to forget brother Yoh, I wonder? I have, after all, loved and waited for him for almost ten years…
It's all going to end… Are you relieved, brother Yoh? That there will no longer be any restrictions, and that you may love Miss Anna with all your heart without worrying that someone else will be hurt?
Can you hear me, brother Yoh?
Listen carefully… I'm only saying this once…
Getting to know you have been a wonderful experience…
And I'll never forget that; It's the truth.
But everything will now become a memory…
Goodbye, brother Yoh.
