Forever Alone
Hideki felt a little guilty, he ran off without telling her he was leaving. It's not that he didn't care about her, he just couldn't love her. He couldn't make her go through any kind of pain. He looked out the window of his hotel. He took a transfer to another country without telling anyone. Nobody could let her know where he was this time around, no unexpected visits from Kurosawa and her, the woman he so desperately tried to stop himself from falling in love. He sat there drinking coffee, thinking of the moments that led him up to his final decision.
It was suppose to be a sunny day, they planned to go to the zoo for their date. As the time for them to meet approached, a storm moved through. He walked to move to shelter when a truck drove by and shot at him. He took cover and shot back.
"Hideki!" She screamed from across the street. The truck swerved and hit her. His eyes became focused as he shot the tires on the truck, sending it crashing into a building. He called for back up and ran over to her, holding her cold lifeless body in his arms.
"I love you." He clutched her tightly. "You said you would wait for me." He spoke as he pushed the hair off her bloody cheek. After she was taken away in the ambulance he vowed if she lived he could never put her in harms away again. Those guys were after him. He went to see her in the hospital one last time. Taking her bruised and taped up hand he kissed each of her fingers.
"I thought one day we could be family." He kissed her forehead, "But all I want is for you to live." He ran away from his problems, it was something he was good at.
