"Don't show me the scare

"Don't show me the scare. Take me as you want.
I know what you are afraid of playing with your blue heart. Don't show me the scare.
Leave the silence on. Show me your love…
Don't show me the scare. Time to carry on…" - Moonlight : DANIEL

Part Eleven
Betrayal

His conversation with Kento had taken a different road than he thought it would have. True he lost his temper with him a couple of times. But, that was it and he managed to catch himself before it got out hand and just saw red. But, after leaving him he felt a sort of comfort in everything. That his plan was working out and was near its end. Now he only had one thing left to do and one more personal note to finish. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt the ones he loved. But, he didn't see any way around it. Everything he had worked for would finally pan out. His duty as a big brother, of sorts, would be done and James could move one with his life… in peace. And his own pain would finally stop. The distance he kept his heart at was always slipping farther and farther away. It was amazing Cye was able to touch it. And that was one of the problems that would be eradicated. There would be no more pain. No more wanting and wishing for some thing that just, could not be. He knew he didn't have to tell James about his plans now. He knew him better than anyone ever did. He knew that he disagreed with it. But, he never had a choice, because he didn't know how he was going to go about it. Even though James hesitated in bringing it up. Will knew it was a sense of relief for him as well. And when he told him time was running short. He knew he was saying something else. He already knew that time wasn't a luxury. He had every thing set and planned so there was no worries. But, before he did anything. He wanted to see just what he was sending Cye back to. He was fairly satisfied with what he had seen. The combination of that and what Cye had been telling him all a long. Made him feel good about what he was doing. So, now he felt very confident in his endeavors. And a genuine smile spread on is face as he reflected his thoughts. Now, there was no turning back.

"You're out late." A voice said jerking him from his thoughts. It was him. The one who electrified the air and put his nerves to the test.

"Still trying to avoid me are you?" He said teasingly and flashing a smile.

"Actually I saw you here… and wanted to talk to you." He was serious. Not, like his usual gentle serious way. There was something very important to him on his mind.

"Really? What about." He said toning down his facade.

"I been thinking…" Cye said suddenly looking to the ground.

"You know you can tell me, Cye." He said softly trying to coax him.

"… I been thinking of going back."

There was nothing… the silence was stiffening the air. The words rang loud and through out his head sending shivers down his nerves.

"What?" He could barely spit out.

"ah… it was wrong of me to leave them. You were right… as usual." Cye added to his mystifying decision. This was exactly what he didn't need right now. Every thing he had worked for… every thing he had planned. Every thing he had done. Shattered as his love played with the ground at his feet. He had left him with only one option to keep his plans at work. And it made his stomach churn into knots. This was last thing he wanted to do.

"I'm sorry, Cye." He started to say as the auburn haired man slowly looked up at him. And with all the courage he had he continued to say… "But, I'm not sure they want you back."

"What…" He said in disbelief.

"I went and visited them a couple times… to see if I could talk them into it. But,…"

"But, what?" He asked a little more forceful.

"They said they been looking for another Torrent. Cye… you've been replaced."

"That's not possible."

"It is Cye, why do think I've been gone so much? I been doing my best to have them reconsider. That's part of the reason they haven't come for you. And why your power hasn't been called on." He said as he watched Cye's mind going into a twirl of emotions and thoughts. With disbelief written on his face. He could tell his heart was on the brink of breaking into a thousand pieces.

"No… how could you talk to them? They don't like you."

"It's true… but I did Cye. They said that you're my problem now."

"Prove it." He said to him trying to have a moment that it was a lie.

"Fine…" Will said digging into his pocket. "I knew you would say that… so I asked for some kind of evidence… that would mean something to you." He said pulling out the sweatband he won from Rowen. Handing it over to Cye and said "I'm sorry Cye."

"This… this isn't his. He wouldn't give this to me. I gave it to him. He wouldn't do that." Cye said in protest.

"It is Cye… and you know it. Believe me when I tell you… they no longer want you around. They… they been too scorned by you to let you back in."

"No… no they aren't like that. They… they love me."

"I'm sorry… I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you this."

Cye just stood there holding the sweatband with no expression on is face. Not looking at Will. Not seemingly to take in what he had told him.

"giiwanimo… zagaswe'idi chi aano awi beshwaji'." Will said to add for a topping, but kindly as he could.

"What have I done…" He heard Cye whisper under his breath.

And with that Will slowly walked over to him and put his arms around him. No protest, and with no other response from him… he held him closer. Trying not to cry repeating what Cye said in his mind. His plan was saved once again. And again he felt his heart drift further away as he heard small whispered sobs escape his embrace.

===================================
Okay, I admit Quiet Illusions was trailing on….
I doubt it'll get that long again. But for now….
To Be Continued…

Incase your wondering what Will said.
This is what it basicly comes out to be. "Lies… have big results over friends."
It isn't Japanese. So, no flaming unless you know the language and can prove me wrong.
