I reached out towards the woman, asking if she feared me.

She said she did not, and reached for my hand. But I blew away into dust before she could reach me.

In a way I am glad, for I died with your heart in my hand, belonging to you and I only.

As my body dissolved away, each second was a century as my mind ran through all the times we'd been together. How your arms felt around me. The first kiss we'd genuinely shared. Your blue eyes, how much strength they held. Your lips, as you said you'd always protect me. Your breath against my skin, your hands on my back, your lips on my neck.

My life or should I say death flashed through my mind, you in nearly every frame, lighting up the world with your hair and your eyes and your vigor. And as I opened my mouth to say a final goodbye, it dissolved into black dust, floating away on the wind.

But I smiled, for the last time in my existence, for I knew you'd heard me, and I was content with what we'd had.

And drifted off into nothingness.

I was helpless, a weak figure lying on the sand, everything I hated. And I could feel your reiatsu above me fade away, disappear.

I felt it all spinning through my mind: the time we'd spent together, the way you said my name, the way your green eyes would look at me in just that way. And my heart wrenched, as I felt the last little bit of reiatsu trickle away, as I could no longer feel your presence. As I lay there, unable to do anything, while you drifted off into dust, spinning off into nothingness.

My eyes stared up at the broken sky, my heart feeling the aching absence of you, knowing you were no longer there but refusing to accept it. And then I heard something, straining to hear, there was a voice on the wind, your voice. A soft goodbye, whispering my name one last time, as you left me forever.

At that time, something in me broke. Into a thousand pieces it shattered, cutting me up from the inside, tearing my heart into shreds as I knew that I'd never see you again; never feel you hand on my face again. Nevermore to hear your voice, or feel the gentle gaze of your eyes as they watched me.

And so I lay there in the sand, letting the tears run out of my eyes as you became one with nothing.

All I'm putting up are sad fics, aren't I? If you prefer happier ones, sorry ^^' The next one's a bit more humorous.
