Crosswinds
Crossed Winds
*** *** *** ***
It suddenly occured to me, after running into half
a dozen dead ends, that I had no idea what i was doing. York Shin was huge.
And it seemed lonely in the rain.
Tucking the cloak tightly around my body, I turned
another corner.
Into another dead end.
I sank down on my knees and looked up into the dull
sky. The heavy raindrops mingled with my tears.
And then I heard footsteps behind me. Let them
come, I thought. Just try and attack me.
It turned out to be Kurapika. I averted my eyes
from him. A few moments of silence passed. "Machi... I'm sorry..." He finally
said. "I followed you, and I thought about what you said, and what your
brother said about you. One was that no matter what kinds of unbelievable
excuses you gave, they were always true.
And back then, you set me free, like an angel, and
disappear. And then, right when I feel like I'm in Hell, you come back
to me. And—"
"And then we kiss and live happily ever after, right?"
I looked at him, and to my own surprise, smiled.
And then we kissed.
