The death of green
Miku sat at a window staring at the sky. It looked yellow; it reminded her of his hair. Len's hair. They had hardly known each other, yet she couldn't stop thinking about him. Her heart raced, and her face turned red when she thought about him. Was it love? Well, even if it was Miku wouldn't know- Never had she felt love. Not of her mother, or her father none of the maids love her, and Kaito was an arranged marriage... He wouldn't love her.
Suddenly, Miku noticed something on the ground – It was Len! Her heart had jumped for joy at the sight of him. She held up a finger to say "1 minute" so she could rush down to see him.
When she was standing in front of him, catching her breath back, he had took her hand and led her into the Forrest...'How romantic!' Thought Miku, 'maybe he likes' me the same way too and then we'll, we'll-'shaking her thought from her mind, Miku looked at Len. He was wearing his hood up, so she couldn't see his hair. When they couldn't see the castle, Len stopped. He looked around as if checking to see if anyone knew they were there.
"Len...Why are we here?" Miku asked, trying to sound innocent.
Len gave Miku a sympathetic smile. "I'm afraid I have top kill you...I'm so sorry..."
Miku stood and started at Len, she looked into his eyes, despite the fact he looked as if he didn't care, she could see he was sad.
"Why...?" Miku felt her eyes stinging with tears, and how she was unable to hold them back.
"Rin has ordered your death because of crimes your people had committed. I'm sorry..." Len slowly reach into a belt strap and pulled out a sword. His hands were shaking.
Miku closed her eyes, and let out a sigh. "Please, make it quick...I don't like the idea of a painful death."
With her eyes still closed, Miku waited for the stab of pain that would mark her death. When it didn't come she opened up her eyes, to see that Len was crying.
"I can't! I can't kill you!" He sputtered out between sobs. Miku started to feel sorry for him. "I love you too much!"
Miku froze at those words. Love. She never knew love, her mother died when she was young...and her father hated her for being a girl, yet...she longed to be loved and Len was saying he loved her – only to kill her? Miku put her hand on the hand that was holding the sword. She smiled, as she took a step forward.
Then another,
And another,
Until she walked right into the sword. And her red blood stained the green grass below them.
Len first reaction was automatic. He didn't mean too, but he let go off the sword. Miku staggered back a few steps, before holding a stance. "You know something?" She had said in a quit voice. "I knew this would come eventually. The reason I was born was to cause the ruin of the yellow kingdom... How I wish it weren't so..."
Len walked forward a few steps and put his hand against Miku's cheek. "I think...I loved you too, Len. Now...I may never know."
"Maybe I could see you in the next life? You could know then!" Len said, hopefully.
"No...You may never reach where I'm going..." Then, Miku fell forward, missing Len's arms and hitting off the cold hard ground.
Miku's last thought was how she wished Len would never go to Hell...
Len had noticed, on his way back to the yellow kingdom, the trees and grass didn't look green. It was as if the green...had died.
Quietly, Len held his head in his hands, and cried quietly for the first time in years.
