Notes and Disclaimers: This is a sad story, why does it always seem that my sad ones are almost always the best? ::Shakes head:: Well, get your box of tissues now, you may need them. Haruka and Michiru belong to Naoko-sama, I love you! ::grins:: Your Mangas are so good! Anyway on with the fic, please review.

There wasn't anything I could have done. She had already begun running, I shouted for her to stop, she didn't listen. She kept running, she was trying to save me, she was breaking our vow, she loved me too much to keep it.
I saw the pain in her eyes as she got hit by arrow after arrow, and even after the hit her a second time she tried again.
All for me.
What could I have done? I told her to stop, she didn't listen. I wish I could have saved her, but I was frozen, watching her.
I remembered that just that morning she had taken my hands in her own and told me she loved them. She had gazed so deeply into my eyes, she had said it with such sincerity. I would never again hear her lovely voice, I would never again hold her in my arms, or feel her soft skin against mine.
What could I have done? God! Why did I have to watch? Would I rather have had her watch me die? I never wanted to have to experience pain. I guess I didn't protect her well enough.
I could have saved her, it was my fault. I wasn't paying attention when that block came flying, she saved me. She risked her life for me. And now here I was watching her do it again. Did I move to save her? Did I do anything but stare?
What could I have done? I would have never made it to her in time. I would have been shot down myself. For the first time in years I felt tears come into my eyes.
She loved me, she risked her life for me, she broke our vow for me, she died for me. God, she loved me and all I could was sit and watch.
I watched as the points of the arrows hit her supple flesh. I Listened to her cry out again and again. I didn't move, I watched, I listened.
She did it all for me. Me, the selfish one, me the one who wouldn't die for the one I love. I do not even belong on this planet anymore. I deserved to die, not her.
She did it for me, she took all that pain for me, she sacrificed herself for me. She took her final breathe looking at me, a silent prey in her eyes.
What could I have done? I know it's my fault. There are so many things I could have done. I am the solider of the sky, the strongest fighter there is, yet I watched the one I love most die trying to save me.
What kind of a person am I? Yes, I am selfish, but I do know pain, I can feel love. I felt love for her, I felt so much more. God! Strike me down now! I do not deserve to live! Either let her live or take me to so we can be together! God, keep her safe, do not let anymore harm come to her.
God... what could I have done? God... she did it all for me, she sacrificed herself because she loved me, she broke our vow because she loved me, she loved me like no other human being has ever loved me before. God... why did I sit and watch?
The gun is poised at my chest. God... please forgive my sins, please let her be happy, please let us meet again. God... tell her I love her.
