A/N: This happenes in the gap in Shara's fic Per Sempre, Il Mio Amore. This is from Ami's POV after Anubis has left her for Kat. I don't own the Ronin warriors or YST, however I'd love to own a certain 'Red topped child.' Kat owns herself and I own my self.... Seth is Kat's and... so's Kiri.
An Alternate Reality to an Alternate Reality
Ami cried into her pillow. She'd been crying for days now. She'd been crying since he'd left. It seemed like much longer to her.
He'd left her alone. Their children were all grown and moved out. He'd ran off with her best friend. He hadn't even said goodbye or why he'd left.. She just came home to a note. She suddenly knew how Kiri felt when Sekhmet had left her and committed suicide with Kayura.
Anubis had left her for Kat. None of their children knew yet. Not her's and not Kale's. If those two were going to run off and leave they're children they shouldn't be their children anymore. So her four children would find out. She would call them as soon as she could talk about it without too many tears.
She assumed Kale would tell his three... er.. two. No one knew where Kiri was. She'd run off too. Perhaps Ami would, too. Or at least, she knew it would be hard to stay in this house with these memories.
Kale would have to-...
Seth!! He'd be raising Seth alone! That poor boy is going to end up really messed up. First his father ran off and killed himself with another woman and then his mother had left him with his grandparents and run off herself, and now his grandmother had run off!! That poor boy. Perhaps she could help Kale raise the boy. She'd raised a boy of her own...
Ami sat up and wiped at her tear stained face. She picked up the phone and dialed an all too familiar number then waited for Kale to pick up.
"Hello?" Came a young voice on the other end. This wasn't the male in that house she wanted to speak with.
"Hey, Seth. Could you get Kale for me?"
"He's ...uh.... I'm not certain he'll talk with you, Ami. He won't talk much to anyone." She could almost hear Kale ask Seth something and by his reply of "It's Ami." she could tell what he'd asked. Soon Seth's voice was replaced with Kale's.
"Kale, I was wondering if you needed help with Seth. I have nothing for me here. I could probably help when you're at work and with classes...." She trailed off into nothingness embarrassed for even asking.
" ..I guess... You'd be welcome here. I do need some help with things.. Kat always did..." She could hear the same pain when she thought of Anubis in his voice.
"Thank you."
