Imprisoning Your Goddess
I want to claim her as my own. Lock her up or chain her to me and make her mine - and only mine.
"It looks good on you, Natsuki."
Her smile brightened at my compliment and she turned to the mirror to assess the leather suit properly herself - her eyes twinkled approvingly.
"But what happened to your old ones?" I continued.
I could see from her reflection her eyes averted away in embarrassment, I would have smiled if I had not spied several others assessing the form that should belong only to me.
I bit my lip to resist the pulls of jealousy.
I wish I could hide her away from prying eyes – her existence known and worship only by me.
Turning a sharp corner, the bike and our bodies leant far too close to the pavement as a drawn out horn sounded past us.
"Ass!" Came her muffled comment as we straighten back up – I tightened my arms that wrapped around her waist, pulling our body closer to each other and letting my racing heart beat closer to hers, as I hoped to myself that should anything happen my body would at least be a cushion to her fall.
If only I could keep her safe; from harm and from danger; protect her from hurt and pain; and all else undeserving of her. If only I could keep her away from it all.
Watching the sun set, I hear a low and deep sigh escape from under her breath – one that showed the exhaustion of her day, or perhaps her week, of school and life itself.
If she was only mine, I would cherish her more than anything else; and more than anyone could. I would do all that I could to make her happy.
She turned to me just as I glanced over to her and our eyes met - she was about to speak when a gust of wind from the coast blew her luscious hair over her face, causing her face to be completely obscured by blue – she let out a playful chuckle, sweeping the locks aside to reveal that rare yet beautiful smile.
I wonder - without her freedom would she still smile as she does now? Would that smile and everything I hold dear about her be forsaken for my own selfish desires?
Would I be the one that endangers her very existence?
"Shizuru?" She finally said after her melodious chuckle died and her exquisite smile faded and lost.
"Um, are you free this weekend? I thought it might be nice to go on a trip or something."
She gave me one of her lop-sided smile – one that seem so innocent and vulnerable; one of the many smile of hers that I love and cherish more than anything.
"That sounds nice. But how about we invite Mai-san and the others? I think all of you deserve a little break from school and it'll be more fun with more people." I smiled – sad but true from my heart.
I want you to run. Run and never let me catch you – because you are too beautiful for me to imprison; too good for me to keep you as my own; and because I love you too much to let my love hurt you.
A/N: Angsty ending don't you just love them?
Ok that was the end now go do whatever it is you do after you finish an update/chapter.

Go on, get!

...
Don't give me those eyes!
...
Grrr! Fine! Here's the damn happy ending I was going keep to myself!
It's those eyes again. Why does she look so far away?
My few steps towards her went unacknowledged as she turned her face back to the setting sun and the blowing winds.
Is she abandoning me to this turbulent world? Alone and to myself again?
My nails dug lightly into my hands in anxiousness.
"Shizuru" Her name passed my lips with my previous casual tone gone.
She had been the hand of salvation I had feared to desperately struggle for – fearing the warmth it held; its security; and most importantly, fearing that it will be lost after I have become dependent on it.
But now, had her hand disappear just as I reach out for it? Is she lost before I even have a chance to be saved?
Her attention was back onto me – those distant and far off eyes were accompanied by a forced awkward smile that played on her lips.
"Hm? What is it Natsuki?"
Was I too late? Too late in planning this belated confession I had in mind? Does she not love me any more?
Fear, it had consumed me before and now it threatens to consume me again. Will this feeling of dread prevent me from reaching for her now?
Then I saw it – the glimmer of a sparkle hidden behind the hectic storm of emotions in her eyes.
No, she still loves me, it's not too late.
I gingerly took up her hand hanging closest to me. I could feel a shy smile pulling at the corners of my lips.
"Actually, I was really hoping it would be just the two of us. There's… there's something I would like to talk to you about…"
I held her hand softly in my own and stared into her gradually confused eyes.
"Natsuki?"
I will chain myself to you – like anchoring myself to a rock in this raging storm - I will make sure I will never let you go, and you to me.
Useless A/N: As I wrote the one shot the title seem less and less appropriate, but if you try and force it you can kind of see how it describes the theme of the one shot
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the update! n.n
