Hello, my lovely readers!

If you have chosen to take a look at this story there are some things you should probably know.

This story starts 4 days after chapter 146 (I guess 147 now), when all the drama with the Trump has ended.

I want to remind you all that this story is the child of my imagination and so the characters behavior and events don´t have to be too realistic. Although, I am doing my best to keep it as close as possible to the UDDUP mood.

This is my first fanfiction ever, so don´t throw rotten tomato's at me if I´m too terrible. Of course criticism is fully welcomed!

The rating, as you have probably noticed, is M. Well, the manga does have the mature rating, so no surprise there. I don´t want to reveal all the secrets, but just is case I will say this, there will be torture, sexual situations, coarse language and all those kind of things. Nothing too unrealistic...

Now then, this chapter is basically a teaser. But don´t get downhearted yet. I´m going to publish the next one as soon as I get at least 3 reviews.

Thanks to my Beta Hrover, you showed me the path.

The first brackets are the name of the chapter, the second are the name of the song which inspired me.

Read, Rate, Review and I hope you will enjoy my story...

Until Death Do Us Part and all its characters, including the totally hot blind swordsman, belong to Takashige Hiroshi and DOUBLE-S.

Chapter one

(Departure)(Gate 21)

Haruka POV

Four days ago, when I was held hostage by the Trump, hanging there, ten meters off the ground with a bomb attached to my handcuffs, I gave up on life. I said the most terrible things to the person who had protected me all this time and would continue to protect me until his last breath.

"I understood! So just give up then! Maybe you should just give up into despair and die."The words echoed in my head as I relived the moment for the thousandth time.

Something inside me broke at that moment. It was a dark and deep void, which I could only call abandon.

"But I´m going to keep living though...Because there are still limits I haven´t passed yet."

And I wished I could live as well, but I knew that was the end for me. I couldn't see my future simply because I no longer had one.

"If someone plans on being the "wife" of a man like me... then they shouldn't fall into despair over just this."

And with these words hope was rebuilt in me.

I wish I knew it beforehand. I wish I had never given up. Yet again he changed the future, so I could see again. Now I´m ashamed of myself,regretting every word I said. I couldn´t even look at him after Tate-san got me down. We didn´t even talk.

Even though I gave up he didn't. Somewhere deep inside I knew he wouldn't. And those words... Thinking about them still makes me blush and smile. And when he started to execute his plan, Anna-san was so brave, jumping like that from the platform without hesitation and then being so composed, giving out orders to those three cold-hearted men. It made me realize something. I was not worthy of being by his side. I was a liability. I wanted to protect him, even though it was me who ran to him for protection in the first place.

So now I stand in the darkness of his room, saying my goodbyes. I glance at his pillow for the last time, a deep breath filling my lungs once more with his familiar scent. I have to leave now, while I still have the strength to do so. A long journey was ahead of me. I resolve to return, someday, when I'm stronger than I am now. And I can only pray that he'll forgive me then.
