Dragon's Heart-
This is a very short little thought-process thing written from Hatori's viewpoint just after I'd read #10. Yep. I don't think it's very good, but maybe you can prove me wrong. I expect at least three reviews, good or bad.
Mayuko-san.
So unlike Kana, yet so similar.
Then why is it that I find I have feelings for her? I know what happens, but I find my heart pulling me toward her anyway. Could it be Shigure's meddling?
No, of course not. This is my own doing.
So why do I still risk involvement? I only have one eye left.
Well, really it's an eye and a half so I would still have one eye total after everything is done.
But Akito-san would not do the same thing twice. So, for Mayu's sake, I must let her down. She'll understand.
Even though she'd be empty inside. I know how she feels about me; I am not oblivious to my surroundings. The Shigure relationship was just too far-fetched. This now leaves me with a dilemma- forget Mayu to protect her from Akito's wrath or love her and deal with the consequences.
And what about the Sohma curse? Would she take that in stride with the rest? She'll have to hug me sometime if we have a relationship.
Although I must make a decision, I cannot make it based on my fear of Akito-san. It shall be based on respect for Kana, even though she now knows nothing of the love we once shared.
Thus, I must leave Mayu- for it would feel wrong to love her when she is Kana's best friend.
It is the way it must be.
I do have regrets, but I feel that they have no importance. What's done is done; there is no going back.
