There is an ancient myth, foretelling the forbidden love between the beautiful and cheerful goddess of clouds, Miya, and the handsome, but aloof human boy Rein.
It is said that the two met on one dark, ominous night by accident. The human boy, Rein, had walked to the seashore, upon the bitter taste of reality.
And, at the same time, almost by mere coincidence, the goddess, Miya, had turned into her human form, and was also walking by the seashore. And, just by luck, she caught a glimpse of Rein in the water. She gasped loudly, and from her kind, naïve ways, ran to save him.
Two soft blue eyes widened in surprise at the looks of the boy; dark, sable water-sodden locks clung to his face and neck; a simple grey shirt, matted with mud and other dirt stains, also clung to his slim figure.
And, as she was too caught up in staring at him, she didn't realise he had rubbed his eyes open, his vision blurred.
His groans from the pain of reality and his bitter past broke the goddess from her musings, as her sea blue eyes stared into dark maroon irises, lined with dark eyelashes.
She had instantly fallen in love with him; just from that mere glimpse into his eyes, she had felt like she'd known him since childhood.
Rein, however, did not feel the same. He merely thought of her as an obstacle in his unsurpassable destiny, and that he had to "leap over this obstacle".
But, as he continued to meet her by "chance", he found that she was willing to do anything for him.
Miya, the beautiful goddess, with long billowing maroon locks and soft blue eyes, was willing to give herself to a poor human boy. He thought she was a naïve, over-trusting, contagiously good-hearted fool for saying that to him.
And, he took advantage of this innocent statement; he had taken her, in more ways than one.
And, as the time passed, and he continued to take her time and time again, she grew more attached to him.
She was deeply in love with him; she never wanted to leave him. So it was always him who left in the lonely mornings she'd wake up to.
He did not love her; he was using this. And, because of this sad fact, his hatred for himself and his cowardice behaviour rose.
And, just when Miya thought that Rein had began to feel something for her, her parents, the beautiful yet strict goddess of the oceans, Naima, and the handsome yet also strict god of rain, Heath, had found out about her adulterous relationship with Rein, and disapproved of it.
They then planned to arrange a marriage between Miya and Reke, the god of thunder. Miya hated Reke with a passion; he was conceited, arrogant, and adulterous. She didn't want to be married to a god like him.
And, on yet another dark, ominous night, she had ran to Rein, and told him of all her problems; the discord with her mother and father, the arrange marriage between her and Reke. She had been expecting him to stare indifferently at her, but to her surprise, he stared at her with great passion.
He had grown to love her, after all the time they shared together.
But, before he could tell her this, her parents appeared behind her, in human form, both equally outraged with her newly found promiscuous ways.
They took her away from Rein, as he yelled for her to come back. But, she never did.
The two of them desperately tried to contact one another, but all their rendezvous' failed.
And, the final act of contact they tried was when Miya had asked the bitter messenger goddess, Apriel, to tell Rein to meet her by rise of the sun, at the seashore.
However, Apriel was a cunning, conniving character, jealous of Miya's beauty and sincerity, and then told Rein that Miya would meet him by the setting of the sun, at the seashore.
And, Apriel told Miya that Rein would meet her by the rise of the sun, at the seashore.
Both were oblivious to the fact that Apriel was telling them lies, and began to meet like this, waiting for the other to appear and hold them tightly, breathing sweet kisses of affection on their cheeks, exclaiming their love for the other.
However, neither of them met after, even as they continued this never-ending cycle.
And, soon after the continuous cycle, Rein had finally had enough and drowned himself to his death, his overly-slim body, mostly from malnutrition, washed up on the sea.
Miya, on the other hand, was raped and murdered by Reke, as he was furious with the fact that she denied him of the pleasures any husband should get from a wife.
Her limp, frail body was tossed in that same ocean, by chance perhaps.
Her once beautiful face was now pale, the lines and dark patches around her eyes visible; her once untainted body marred with the dirt in the ocean.
He, also, was in the same condition with her. His once angelic features were pale and lifeless, as was his body.
The two of them had died without a fair, final meeting…

I felt empty, and cold. Both Inside and outside, I felt empty and cold.
This hard, clammy, pathetic excuse of a "bed", alone with the bed sheets, felt empty and cold.
Everything, even this same room I was in, felt empty and cold.
He, the man I still love to this very day, had gone, once again. Hell, he was gone by the time I was wide awake, and feeling the chills of this godforsaken derelict feeling inside and outside of me.
Whenever I spent time with him, whenever he touched me, whether it was an accidental touch, or a firm hand groping my body, I felt alive; I felt the blood rushing to my face; I felt my heart thumping against my ribcage so fast and vigorously, I felt like my heart was going to fall out of my body.
I felt needed, when I was around him. I didn't feel like another part of the never-changing scenery, all alone in the background, behind all the glitz 'n' glamour and hustle 'n' bustle of Konoha.
I felt like the centre of attention, as though I was on top of the world. I literally did feel like I was standing on top of the world, with not a single care in the world, only he and I mattering.
Whenever he would hold me, I felt that only he and I existed; everyone else was gone to the ground. That we were the main spectacle, the most important thing to the world.
That no one else could take that away from us, when we were together.
But now, I just feel…that it was all fake; a mere simulation.
That those moments in my mind were only a figment of my imagination; a wish that could never be fulfilled; a dream that'll never be one with reality.
Because, if these moments, where I felt like the first and only female king of the world, whereas he was my partner, why did they come and go so fast, too fast for me to even comprehend what I was doing.
One minute, we would be kissing passionately, then he'd be on top of me, next thing I knew, I'd be waking up to a dark ceiling, in a strangely normal and neat bed, as though it had never happened, and was just another dream of mine.
He was just like the wind; one minute, he'll be all over me, surrounding me, engulfing me into a tornado of passion, longing, needing. The next minute, he'll be gone, leaving me to comprehend what had happened between us.
Sometimes, I wish I knew, what was on his mind.
What was he thinking?
'What are you thinking, Sasuke-kun? And, will you ever tell me if I, Haruno Sakura, mean something to you?'
I walked into the bathroom, and shut the door behind me, the words 'Do I mean anything to you?' ringing in my mind, even if I already knew the answer to this painfully obvious question.

…It has been said, that everyday, by that same seashore, they would wait for the other one to arrive.
The apparition of Rein would wait for Miya, as the sun faded into the distance, a sombre look on his face, as he held back the excitement from the fact that he'd be meeting Miya again.
Then, Rein's apparition would disappear and Miya's would appear as the sun rose, an expectant yet excited look on her face, as she waited patiently for something that would never happen.
They never met each other once; Miya never realised Rein loved her to the point it hurt him; Rein never realised Miya was the only thing keeping him moving.
They never met…because they are opposing; Miya is happiness, and Rein is melancholy; Miya is the light, and Rein is the dark.
They never meet each other; they're just too late to meet each other.

Because,
Like Light and Dark,
Day and Night,
Good and Bad,
Sun and Moon,
They coincide,
And are too fast…
For the latter to reach the former…
