Is it Worth it?

As Shiina Yuya walked with the sad face and tears in her big emerald eyes, people wondered why.

Those who knew suffered for her. And they knew she believed he was still alive and would return to her some day.

But is it worth it? To wait? They asked.

As winter came and the snow fell heavily she just wandered on.

Is it worth it?

As spring came she had a small smile on her face.

Summer came, her blonde hair was longer.

A year passed by.

"I'll wait. He'll come. I still believe!" she said.

Is it worth it?

Autumn and she felt strong.

Those who knew wondered if it wasn't time for her to take a new path in her life. She just shook her head and continued to walk.

Is it worth it?

Winter came again. And spring. And summer. And another years passed again.

Isn't it time for you to take another path? Why wait? Is it worth it?

"I still believe!"

A third year passed.

She had grown into a beautiful woman. So beautiful that it was a shame that she wasn't interested in finding a good man. So many were willing to give her the life a woman would dream of. But she still smiled and shook her head.

"I still believe he'll come back!"

Is it worth it?

And so the fourth year came. Those who had questioned her waited for her to pass by. Still alone, still waiting.

Is it worth it?

And as they saw her, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Cause beside her holding her hand walked a tall red haired samurai, with red eyes. The one she had been waiting for, Onime no Kyo.

Is it worth it?

As they saw her bright smile, her laughing and how he gave her a soft kiss on her forehead, they got the answer.

She was happy now.

Yes, it was worth it.

Just a short random thing I came up with... Inspired by the music of Two Steps From Hell – Great Spirits.

I've always admired Yuya's strength so I wanted to write something about her patience.
