Don't Leave Me Ch.3
Disclaimer: "Finally she stopped talking." "Hahaha!! Yeah right!! There is no way you can get rid of me!!" "Eh- what the?! How?!" "Your so naïve Shizumasa-sama, don't underestimate my imagination!! Anyway… I do not own any of the anime or the music involved in here; well I own some manga of it; but not Tanemura-sensei, the manga itself, or the music." "Yeah, we get it, now on to the story." "Geez, pushy!" ^-^
Today is the day of the anniversary of me and Shizumasa-sama meeting each other as master and maid. Thinking back it was snowing like it is now. I was settling in and finished taking my bath, when there were maids lining up for someone. I didn't have time to check who it was, I need to get settled for tomorrow. I wonder what Shizumasa-sama is doing now, probably didn't even notice that I was gone, probably.
"Well, well if it isn't my rival Shizumasa Togu, what are you doing here, may I ask?" Yamamoto said. "Don't play innocent." "I don't know what you mean by that Togu." He pisses me off! "Don't give me that crap!! You have my maid, give her back!!" Then he smirked, "why? Aren't you the reason why she's here in the first place?" What? There's no way it's my fault. "I asked her earlier why she came here, the rival of Shizumasa Togu, and guess how she responded?" He's teasing me. "'He doesn't need me; he has a lot of maids anyway. And plus he won't be needing me soon since he's in love with Haine Otomiya-sama.' Is what she said!" Yamamoto said laughing. That's not true, even now I need her by my side, so that way she can calm me down…But I don't have her right now. "Don't test me, Yamamoto!!" I took the collar of his shirt. "Shizumasa-sama!" Senri tried to pull me back. "Isn't it sad that Senri has to calm you down? That's pathetic!! Haha!!" That's it, I couldn't take it. I punched him in the face. Then I could hear screaming from the maids. Then I heard a song that I knew very well, I knew it was Sakura. And there she was in her new maid outfit. "Sakura…" She became very blurry and then I blacked out. "Shizumasa-sama? Shizumasa-sama?!"
Just when I was ready to work, I heard a scream coming from Yamamoto-sama's room. When I got there, there were a lot of people gathering around the door. I pushed my way to see what happened, and then I saw Shizumasa-sama! This is not the first time I saw him like this…Then I thought of the song that calmed him the most "Eternal Snow" I sung and then he looked at me with relief and calm eyes once again. "Sakura…" When he said that, he didn't look good. His eyes were getting heavy. He was about to fall when I caught him just in time. "Shizumasa-sama? Shizumasa-sama?!" He has a fever! "Senri why did you bring him when he's in this condition?!" I yelled at him while I was trying to hold Shizumasa-sama in my arms. "It was his orders." Sighing I gave him to Senri but I felt a hand grabbing my skirt, it was Shizumasa-sama. "Don't…Don't leave…me…" As he said that, his eyes were tired. "Don't worry I'll be right here, Shizumasa-sama." For the longest time, for about 3 years he finally smiled sincerely at me, my heart started to hurt. He finally settled down. "I'm so sorry for Shizumasa-sama's behavior." I bowed to Yamamoto-sama begging for his forgiveness. "It's ok; I love to see him pissed. It's so fun!" He said grinning. Me and Senri with Shizumasa-sama on his back went back to Senri's car. "What are you going to do now, Sakura?" I didn't reply right away, looked at Shizumasa-sama and said, "This will be the last time I'll be talking to him." "Are you sure? Shizumasa-sama doesn't want you to leave him, remember?" He said looking at me to convince me to stay. "I know…but he really doesn't need me anymore." Senri didn't say anything and drove with Shizumasa-sama sleeping on my lap.
We finally reached the Togu mansion. Senri carrying Shizumasa-sama, and me near Senri. "Welcome back." Everyone bowed, saw me, and was happy to see me. "Where did you go?! We were worried!" I was so happy to see them, they're like my sisters. I cried and everyone came to hug me. After that, I went to Shizumasa-sama's room and saw him lying in his bed. I started to sing "myself"' for a little bit.
I heard someone singing, who was it? I opened my eyes, and saw Sakura singing a song.
doushite doushite suki nan darou
konna ni namida afureteru
ano koro ha ushinau mono ga oosukite nani mo utaenakatta
sukoshi hanareta basho soko ga watashi no ibasho data
kimi no hitomi no oku ni ano hi samishisa wo mitsuketa
futari niteru no kana?
kitsukeba itsu mo tonari ni ite kureta
doushite konna ni suki nan darou
kimi no koe kanshii hodo hibiiteru yo
ima made nani ga sasae datta ka
tooku hanarete wakatta yo
doushite konna ni suki nan darou
kantan sugite kotae ni naranai
"Sakura?" She jerked, and then looked at me. I didn't really pay any attention to the song, Sakura was here, and that's all that mattered to me. I embraced her hoping she will hug me back. "Shizumasa…sama?" I looked at her and smiled at her. "I'm so glad you came back to me."
A little later after everyone was asleep, I went back to Yamamoto-sama's residence again. "Wow, didn't think you would be back after that little accident." I saw Yamamoto with a smile on his face. I turned around not facing him. "I said this already, Shizumasa-sama doesn't need me." Then I heard Yamamoto-sama's laughter. "Eh?! Why are you laughing, Yamamoto-sama?!" "I can tell that he didn't tell you did he?" "Tell me…what?" He grinned when I said that, I think I'll regret asking. "If you weren't important to him, he wouldn't have punched me here." He pointed to the mark that was there. "Your…kidding…he couldn't have." "Oh, but he did, come on I'll show you."
"Where is Sakura?" I asked Senri, I was feeling uneasy. "Don't worry Shizumasa-sama; she's here safe and sound. She's in her room right now." Senri replied. "I'll talk to her later in the morning." "Of course." Senri said while leaving. Senri was lying just now. I knew at that instant that she was over at Yamamoto's. Sakura why can't you just leave that place? Can't you just stay with me? Please, come back and don't leave me.
Have a Merry Christmas!
