Disclaimer: still nothing...
Shadow of a Heart
(Chapter 11)
"Love starts with a smile, Grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear."

"No!" Shizuru stood up harshly. She was now looking down at a kneeling Natsuki, her voice bitter.
"You are too young and naive to know anything. You don't know what you want." The elegant woman's face was now covered by a mask: a cold hard lifeless mask.
The sharp words settled over head, weighting down Natsuki's head and filling it with thought.
"…too young… and naïve?" She's acting as though I'm a child!'
"Why?… Why do you always make everything so hard for me? Why cant you just let me be… It would be better that way…" perhaps she's right… perhaps I-I am a child… a stupid, selfish and naïve child…Shizuru.. My sweet, beautiful goddess deserves so much more. She deservers someone can be her match, someone to be her equal. Not a silly, young, naïve child.'
Natsuki's silence pierced the caramel haired women's heart. After many seconds, a haze that lasted an eternity, had pasted Shizuru turned and headed towards the door. Her perfect mask never slipping. As she made her way to her destination she began to experience a sensation that felt as though the center of her heart had been torn, unwillingly, from her chest and lay bleeding on the floor besides the crumbled woman.
The last thing Natsuki registered before submitting to the chaos in her mind was the harsh click of a door shutting.

"Beep... Beep…" A small alley way just outside of Fuuka, swallowed completely by the night, was penetrated by a soft blue hue. The blue light flashed in time with the gentle, but demanding, beeps. A dark figure emerged from a side corner of the alley, reaching into their pocket they withdrew a small cellular phone. The shrouded figure flipped open the phone silencing the beeps.
"Hello." came a soft feminine voice.
"Status report." A deep, contrasting male voice echoed back from the other line.
"Mission I.C.E. has commenced. A few obstacles have arisen but nothing that will hinder obtaining our goal."
"The margin for error is small. We can not afford any mistakes. How far has the mission progressed?"
"Progression is minimal but efficient for the given time frame. I have made contact with the target and have managed to infiltrate the bond between her and her key. All in all sir I'd say the mission is right on schedule."
"Understood, but keep in mind the targets abnormalities. I'd be disappointed to find that you've underestimated the targets abilities. I'll be checking in on your progress in one weeks time. Same place, same time. Beep-" the call ended with the silence.
A small sigh escaped the shadowed figure.
"Very well, I better get moving." The figure tucked the phone into their pocket, shutting off the only light source and letting the darkness engulf her.
The woman's voice rang out in the darkness.
"I wonder how my beautiful princess is fairing.. I hope I didn't get her in to too much trouble.." the moon reflected on the menacing smirk that now adorned the figures face.
