Her heart broke at the thought of leaving her.

Hadn't they came too far, and fallen too hard for them to be broken apart in this moment?

"Amelia, forgive me." Natalya murmured as her hand slowly pulled away and let go of Amelia's hand; she started to slowly back away from her sleeping lover.

Natalya picked her knife up, and regathered the confidence to leave again.

All that the Belorussian could see in her head were the memories containing the two of them, and how they had met.

Life back then had only been painful as how could she be happy when the one that she had loved for so many years kept pushing her away?

Ivan had practically been terrified of his own little sister when Natalya had believed that she loved him more than a sister was supposed to love her own brother.

Amelia had been more than another student in Natalya's new school from the moment that they met.

Amelia hadn't really considered homosexuality as a thing back then, and she had just wanted to be Natalya's friend in the beginning.

Natalya had wanted more than that, but she had initially been too scared of scaring Amelia away to mention it.

She would sneak in handholding, cuddling, and platonic -in Amelia's mind- kisses on the cheek.

Natalya would immediately free up her schedule whenever Amelia called, and gradually Amelia started to see why.

"Can I be your heroine, Natalya? I know that we're both woman, but I I really like you the way that a man loves his wife." Amelia really seemed to struggle with the words.

"Yes, you finally noticed." Natalya secretly wondered how a woman could be that dense.

"You liked me too? I thought that I'd went nuts!" Amelia exclaimed.

"I've liked you for a long time." Natalya smiled at the hyperactive American woman.

"You did?" Amelia beamed, and reached out almost hesitantly to kiss Natalya on the lips; Natalya kissed back.

"Mmh." Amelia moaned in her surprise at having pleasantly enjoyed the kiss.

Natalya pulled back for air a little while later.

"That was better than I thought it'd be. It wasn't weird or strange for me to kiss another woman, and you were nice and soft." Amelia pointed out honestly.

Natalya smirked, and seized another kiss from Amelia's willing lips.

Present day Natalya wasn't quite so happy at the moment as she made sure that she had everything for the misssion, and then some.

She appeared before her boss for more information on her mission before she left to risk her life only to find that the mission would keep her busy for almost a full year as well as keep her away from Amelia for the American's sake, and make her convert in to a more secretive life for everyone that she loved sakes and her own.

Years passed almost in a blink of the eye yet at a excuiatingly slow pace.

Amelia was forced to move on with her life, and that's when she had met Sakura.

Sakura would stay, and not vanish with out a trace to never return.

Amelia and Natalya were to never cross paths again to anyone else's knowledge.
