Once again she was laid out on her bed crying herself to sleep. The loneliness of having no one weighed heavily on her shoulders. It wasn't as if she didn't have friends. No, there were plenty of people she could hang around with, but no one she really connected to. Having no one to talk to had reduced her to the quite and reserved girl she was today. Though hardly one ever saw it. She was always smiling but it was only to hide the tears that always threatened to fall. Everyone saw her as a happy person with every reason to be. Some even thought her eccentric, but none of them knew the sadness of being truly alone. Alone in her interests, alone in her life, alone in her heart. What reason was there to live when no one cared? Through the happy front nobody could see what terror and torment surrounded her. A life is not worth living if you live it alone. The thought of suicide made Kate laugh. She had never understood how people could actually take their own lives. With that thought fresh in her mind she fell into a fitful sleep, plagued by the faces of false friends and the crowds of people who in every single one of them could not protect her from it.
Kate took refuge in her manga collection next morning. She often wished she could be transported into another world, away from the pain. To start afresh and make some true friends. Since starting the fushigi yugi series Kate had always admired the Suzuka seven and their priestess. They seemed to survive solely on their friendship and trust in each other. Though she connected more with the Seriyu seishi because of the loneliness that harboured their every waking moment.
But if she got a chance, just one chance to enter that world. Would she take it and leave everything behind? If that fated book chose her or the ruler of the other world decided her fate was among the people of that world, would she follow that destiny or rebel and follow her own path?
I guess we'll never know?
Or will we?

A/N: This is a one shot, but looking at the ending I've given it I probably could continue it. It's up to you! Please read and review and tell me what you think…
