Authors note: I apologize if this short scene isn't what could be considered decent. I am incredibly new to fanfiction and therefore am not familiar with much around here. The following scene is part of my short story/manga whose name I won't be releasing just yet because the title itself might give the idea of this story away. I sincerely hope you enjoy it, and please don't hesitate to leave behind CONSTRUCTIVE criticism because I honestly feel like its lacking…this short scene is meant to be innocent and not a sex scene -.-, besides that mark, enjoy!

Goodbye Forever

She wept in his arms, slowly soaking the front of what was a beautiful and well kept button jacket, now filled with wrinkles due to her hands tightly gripping onto his sleeves. He held onto her, his grip strong yet careful. Together they embraced in this quiet and empty room. She withdrew herself from him, and step back, as if ashamed of what she was doing, but he, being as sweet as she knew him slowly yet gently lifted her chin up, stared into her hesitant eyes and pulled her back towards him. Though he was very level headed, he himself had a sad look on his face.

"Why do you stay with me?" she asked

His calm look was replaced by puzzlement, surprised that she would ask such a question. But he simply smiled, leaned forward and gave her a passionate kiss. She quickly responded and closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his lips upon her quivering pale ones. He broke off the kiss and responded:

"Because I love you, and no matter what no one says I would be willing to defy the gods themselves to be with you"

She smiled only to then once again frown. The town clock had rung, signaling that it is now 3 in the afternoon. They both hesitantly looked at each other; they both knew what this meant. But he being as calm as always gave her a tender kiss. They broke off and he turned around, ready to walk away. Knowing that she couldn't see him, he let out a single tear and sighed deeply. She, not ready to let him go yet screamed out his name; ran up to him, and flung her arms around him.

"Let the god have mercy on my sinful soul, because I would rather sin then be willing to leave you behind" she said among her tears.

He again, wrapped her arms around her, being ever so gentle. She looked up at him, he looked at her; and together as if both knowing what the other wanted went in for a passionate kiss. It would be the kiss most remembered, better than the first kiss had they ever shared, better than the first time they had ever started this forbidden love, and that was because this kiss would be the last kiss they would share.

The story of two lovers, bound by a marriage arranged against their will since birth. They hide from the public eye to be able to be together. Not being able to bend the rules of society they are forced into this secret sinful love. Now they face a reality that for them is too hard to realize. That with the ringing of the bell they will have to say goodbye forever…

Authors Note: I hope you guys (the readers) all enjoyed this small scene, this is the first ever project that I have assigned myself to do. Any and all criticism is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
