Black Love, Twisted- 14 Days Later; Sending off
A/N: Haha sorry if the previous chapter was offensive… thought it was nothing compared to the amount of yaoi's out there, no offense though. Thanks for the comments, yup (: Would not be trying out such explicit scene again, as it was kind off awkward writing them too. Haha. Hope you'll enjoy this chapter too!
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will
"Naughty naughty Tyki Tyki…" sang Rhode merrily as the group of Noah hid behind the shrubs. "Hey Skin, get down. You're giving us away!"
Skin muttered an apology and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible before commenting innocently as he tried to talk with a mouthful of candy, "I wonder what reaction Lulubell will get if she sees this…"
"Ya, Bang I sense Innocence," complained another of the Noah as he fiddled around with his pistol.
"Shut your gape up," ordered Rhode as she shrugged off the comment.
"Bang whatever. We're so going to report this to the Earl!" teased the twins as they tried to imitate the scene upon them. They could see a lady bending over to their fellow Noah before walking away. The sun had begun to rise as the early sun cast gentle warmth on the couple as it slowly spread its rays. The silhouette of the couple was like an illustration found in some random romance novels; full of unspoken love.
"What?!" Protested the twins harmonically with gapped mouth as Rhode stuck a colourful swirl of lollipop in a threatening way at them. "No, no one is to mention a word about this to Earl," she warned. Rhode then pondered awhile before continuing as if nothing had happened, "Okay, she's gone now. Let's go wake Tyki up now!" And with that, the little lass skipped with joy to her cousin's side and stuck her lollipop into his mouth.
"Cough, cough. What?" yelled Tyki as he jolted up from his slumber in a protest, shocked and disgusted by the teeth-rotting candy in his mouth. He was utterly confused by the sudden presence of his family, and upset over the fact that she was gone. He felt something lingering on his lips and it was not from the sickening candy.
"Earl wants us back for breakfast. Let's go!" ended Rhode full of childlikeness before proceeding to compose another of her songs. "Tyki slept with his lover, Tyki slept with his lover!"
"We did not do anything!" growled Tyki as he brushed off the morning dew that had settled on his clothes.
"Bang; you Pedophile!"
"WHAT?"
You left me once again, yet now with my lips still deeply etched with the warmth of your kiss.

Inspecting myself as I looked into the mirror, I could not help but noticed the tanner skin tone and much more prominent muscles that I have accumulated these few days. The tedious and hectic training that Master had been making me go through were the cause of these, yet they would all end now. The fear, the apprehensiveness and the reluctance had all been paused for the moment. Yet the journey from now on... Master had said that he had to leave because he had abandoned some slave boy in Africa for me. For me- why does he never fail to make himself sound ever so important? Disgusting, I thought as I threw in another book into the box to be put up for donation- all these were not going with me. And packing things up was just as disgusting as Master. The whole lovely morning had been wasted dumping items into boxes after boxes after visiting Chloe and my nerves were getting stepped on every time I thought of how much more stuff I still had left. It was not until I found something that I had yet to pack calmed me down. It was something so important that I had completely forgotten about. Images of his face, my fingers slowly touching his face as I swept away his tangled fringe, that last contact we had before I left him came into my mind as I held out to my favored paintbrush. The morning sun casting light on his sleeping face. A kiss on his lips.
This will come with me.
"Fuyu, are you done?" yelled Mrs Mylene from the kitchen.
"Yep," I answered as I dragged out my luggage not before giving the room a last longing look. Goodbye.

The train station was quieter than usual today, with the number of travelers barely reaching up to ten. The sun had begun to set, as it slowly retreated after a finale performance. The sky was drenched with a splash of purple and orange as the light rays played lazily over the sky, seeming reluctant to leave. However a crowd had formed at the end of the station, livening up the area as they sent off their friend with a longing that ache their souls deeply. It was not until the girl smiled that the awkward atmosphere dissolved under the lowering temperature of the evening sky. "Hey smile okay, it's not like I'm going to…"
"Fuyu."
Fuyu paused. It was Mr. Mylene that had stopped her. His arms were now around his wife; her face was stained with endless tears now, her eyes sore-red and puffy from the constant crying ever since they had reached the train station.
"Don't worry Mr. Mylene, I'll be alright! Look at all these muscles…" commented Fuyu as she did a bodybuilder pose for her foster parents.
"Can you, I hope that we're not asking too much, to address us as… um your parents? Just once will do." His request came softly yet it struck their foster daughter deeply. Yet Fuyu's heart constricted at once. It suddenly occurred to her that all these years she had been addressing them by their surnames and nothing else more endearing. She could not find the words at once, not that she did not want to, but it was only due to the guilt that had overwhelmed her ability to speak yet again. Then it came, aching with love.
"Gomen, Dad. Gomen, Mom…" Her every word was aching with nostalgic and guilt as it came out. "Gomen for not being a filial daughter, for neglecting your love and care, for… causing the death of…"
No longer able to contain her words, Fuyu ran into the arms of her foster parents. All these years, all these love, all these time as a family. Why did I not…
"Ahem, FUYU BLACK, don't you neglect us too." Accused an impatient voice as it disrupted the family bonding of the Mylene-Black family. "You have made sure you fed us fat before you left us right? Is this the way of showing your care as a class councilor? Those chocolates made us gained weight!"
Fuyu chuckled before pouncing on her group of friends for another hug after removing herself from the warmth of her foster parents. "Of course. You should be thanking me for feeding you people well and fat before I leave. And don't you people ever dare to lose those fats. They contained my super duper everlasting love, okay!"
"Yeah yeah, whatever…" complained the group of teenagers as they gave each other a final goodbye. Despair overwhelmed them yet again and they began to tear, sobbing and wailing as they hugged Fuyu in turn. Yet the one to be sent off was the only one who was not crying, as she tried to control her emotions.
"Well, I have to go," laughed Fuyu as she took up her luggage again. "Sayonara." She gave a broad smile of assurance to her love ones before turning around to walk towards the customs to get her ticket and passport checked through. It was then when she noticed someone. A Japanese boy, of age around six to eight, was waving at her. He was in stubborn tears and had caught her eyes before she faced the train. Or was he? Fuyu could no longer see him when she turned back to find him. Had he ran behind her family and friends who were now beginning to leave the train station too? She continued to wave at them but her eyes were searching. The soothing evening rays made her unable to differentiate between illusion and reality. I had seen the young boy before. The occurring thought then pained her. And it was then when she realized that he was not here too. Fuyu shrugged as she gave herself a reassuring smile. I supposed I was just another passing moment of him.
I suppose I can get used to living by myself again
I suppose I can pretend that I never loved
In cold nights, let my tears warm me
I suppose I am able to get used to living by myself again
I'll erase your promises from my memory
How could loving you come to such an ending?
I suppose I can get used to living by myself again
I suppose I can pretend that I never loved before
When it feels like you're leaving, who could object?
I suppose I can get used to living by myself again
I'll erase your promises from my memory
Since love is just a dream, and I've overslept
"Long journey eh, young lady?" asked the tickets captain politely before permitting her entrance.
"Yes, long journey away." The young lady replied politely as she nodded her head. It was just a few more steps for her to step into the train, to embark on her new journey and forget all about what was left behind.

"Fuyu!"
The young lady stopped in her tracks abruptly. Perhaps, perhaps. That little flame had managed to light up again when she thought that she had heard that someone who had called her name. Fuyu turned around with anticipation. There were no smile on her lips but she was hoping for someone, not anyone. However the flame was quickly doused again when all she saw was people making their way into the train; lonely souls like her going on a lonesome journey, elated families with children traveling to Disneylands and couples hand-in-hand going on a…honeymoon? She took a sarcastic laugh. Deciding to take no more notice, the sole traveler pulled her luggage again and proceeded, this time with wider strides. No one had called her; really, those that had sent her off should have been out of the station by now. The evening rays were really causing her to…
Gasp.
Fuyu stopped in her tracks. She could sense his presence; someone was standing behind her with his hands clenching hers tightly as he pulled her towards him. He was placing his head gently over hers, her chin sunk dejectedly into her head as he wallowed in mixed emotions. He was angry with himself for being late, guilty for leaving her alone and misery that his heart would be leaving. "Sorry," his voice was constricted by the lump in his throat. "Sorry for being late."
Tears fall down her cheeks uncontrollably as the two embraced in silence. Why does she always lost control of her emotion every time she sees him, what made him have the ability to do so? His hands were filled with warmth that made her want to stay back and not leave this place. But she could not.
Smiling as she turned around to face him, Fuyu ignored her tears to look up at the man in his eyes. They were still so brown, so deeply filled with thoughts and… burdens. It was so agonizing to look into his soul. Perhaps that was the reason why her heart had been captured by him. No, I have to leave all my emotions behind, she reminded herself. It was not until then when she realise, with her hands still tightly held on by him that something had dropped over her neck. Fuyu gasped as she held the item in her hand, her heart wrenching. "How did you…" It was a chain watch kind of necklace, black and carved with oriental floral; a black heart. She had not expected herself to be anywhere in his heart but this was simply, how did he get pass the gates, and… he had hung it on her delicately without her even realizing it. Yet on the other hand she had not prepared anything for him. "Tyki…"
"Well, I do hope you like it. Just something for you to bring along to protect you in replace of me." He commented casually, ignoring the fact that he had been so overwhelmed with sadness previously and placed his hand over her head, musing up her hair affectionately. "Do take care, Fuyu."
Cheeks flushing at the comment, Fuyu looked down and away from Tyki's graze. It was then an idea struck her too. Reaching to the back of neck, she removed her own cross necklace and took of the black gold ring from her middle finger and interlocked it together. Tyki stood patiently and watched as her feet tiptoed so as to accommodate the tall man's height and placed the impromptu-made necklace on him. The young lady blushed again when she realized how close they were just a few seconds ago before changing the subject. She dragged her luggage again and smiled, her black eyes avoiding the brown ones as she waved. "I've got to go now… um... yep. Thanks for sending me off. Bye." That last word pained her heart when she articulated it.
A wounded expression painted Tyki's face as the lean man watched the one who had captured his heart so deeply walked away. She had made him felt the deepest emotions since he had become a Noah, made he realise that love still exist in this world and that there were things in this world still beautiful to be smiled at. Now she was leaving, it was as if someone had took the light away in his life, and that he would be falling back into darkness again. He will never be able to see her anymore. Losing all contact, losing the sight of her blushing cheeks, losing the sight of her radiant smile- and of course, her charming attitude problem. She was after all, he had observed as a teacher, a girl prone to severe mood-swings and bipolar behaviour. Yet it was not all. She had been more than just a student to him, his heart having stolen that first time they saw each other. It was burning every time he saw her, as if urging him to kill her to make her stay with him forever. How could he ever forget her? His heart bled profusely.
"Please, stay."
The pleading came almost as a whisper, its words aching with agony and drowned with emotions. He ran up to her and held her tight in his arms, his emotions overtaking his mental state. She felt so small in his arms, he wanted to protect her. The couple stood in silent embrace yet again, their arms holding on to each other as they stubbornly refused to part. Then it came. Their lips met for another time, this time just resting on each other as they trembled heart-achingly. The evening sunlight shone, its rays making yet another silhouette out of their shadow. Shadow of love.
POOPU!
ALL PASSENGERS PLEASE PROCEED TO THE TRAIN NOW. THE TRAIN WILL BE LEAVING IN FIVE MINUTES TIME.

"I've really got to go now." Their lips parted unwillingly.
"…"
"Promise that you'll just forget me."
"Promise,' he planted yet another kiss on her lips. "Unfulfilled."
Tears flowed down Fuyu's face once again, why. The next dozen steps that she took felt as if she was stepping onto wet cement soaked with tears, as the distance between the couple gradually increased. She took no further look back as she muttered the last farewell to herself. Sayonara, yet who was it meant for?

Tears were still flowing down her face when she sat in the train. Her right hand was placed gently on her chest, fingers fiddling with the farewell present that she had just received as she looked out of the train window. Chink. It was then Fuyu realized that there was something in the chain watch. Curious, she fiddled with the lock that held the clams together. The lock finally got through and something immediately dropped out. A silver ring that had fit perfectly through her finger.
Why did I not felt it when I first know you?
--
End.
Sayonara: Goodbye
Gomen: Sorry
(I chose to express it in Japanese because I felt that they never sounded sincere in English and such. No offense here but kinda felt that the word "sorry" is so overused that it had lost its value)
Song: Better in Time, Yi Ge Ren Sheng Huo (I translated it into English)
A/N: Longest chapter that I've ever done! WHEE. Haha. Nothing much to say but to apologize if the chapter was not touching enough. And do R&R as usual. Oh ya, big change to be revealed next week so do read the next chapter (or whatever you call it, esp the A/N) for that little surprise(; Lovee.
