Hilde looked down sheepishly.
"If you really must know... I came to see you," Hilde paused at this, trying to figure out what Duo was concealing behind his long sweeping bangs. "To... To talk to you, I guess." Duo nodded slowly.
"Well then, let's get started." Hilde hated when Duo started something off like that. It made him sound like he was reverting back to his past, back to the days when he had been with Father Maxwell, studying as a priest. She looked at him suddenly, wanting to coax him to say more, to shed some knowledge on the matter.
"Duo... Why were you so surprised when I told you I loved you? I've been seeing you at least once a week since the war ended. Is it really such shocking news?" Duo sighed.
"It's not that.... It's just... Hilde... Every time I get close to someone, they die." Hilde almost laughed.
"I'm not going to die. There are barely even any weapons on earth let alone the colonies." Hilde smirked slightly. "If that was all you were worried about..." Duo shook his head angrily.
"No, Hilde, you don't understand. Everyone I've ever cared about has been murdered in cold blood. I murdered people myself. I murdered men more innocent than I, and more evil as well. I can't change that now... But I want to give you life. To give you a chance." Hilde reached over and touched Duo's arm.
"No, you don't understand." She said, softly. "I love you. I want to be by your side for as long as I live." Then she drew back, dropping her hand to her coffee mug. "If I have to live a life without my one true love, and without friends- what kind of life is that at all?" Duo shut his eyes tightly, and his fists clenched onto his couch.
"Hilde..." He uttered angrily, under his breath. "It's over. No dice. Please leave now." Hilde gasped inwardly. What was Duo saying? How could this be happening...?
"What?"
"I said leave. Now." Hilde got up, her shoulders drooped, her hands shaking.
"For all I care, Duo Maxwell, you can burn in hell! I don't need you!" Hilde turned on her heels and ran for the exit. Duo flinched as she slammed the door behind her.
"Hilde..." Duo's head fell forwards onto his hands. "What have I done... I'm sorry... My soul is gone..." Duo's eyes rested on Hilde's coffee mug, and he picked it up hesitantly. He in turn picked up his, and brought them both to the entrance of the kitchen, but neither mug made it to the sink. They slipped out of Duo's grip and smashed on the tile first.
Hilde felt the hot tears sting her cheeks again, but she ignored them. She took off the jacket and threw it at Duo's door, almost sure she could hear him jump as she did so. Dark jagged bangs covered Hilde's face as the veteran crossed her arms to maximize her body heat. She didn't feel like going home, to an empty house. Instead she walked until she reached the park. The park was her favourite place- Spring, summer, fall or winter. It always managed to look beautiful. Hilde sighed as though she had just been let out of a headlock. 'Duo doesn't care about me, anymore..' She thought sadly. 'He just doesn't care.'
With tears streaming down her face, Hilde sat down on one of the swings, and looked up mournfully. This was one place she and Duo used to meet a lot. They'd often meet at one end of the field, or by a jungle gym, but usually the two would shake hands at the swing set. Hilde slowly began to pump and push with her legs as she gained altitude, ignoring the fact that it was colder and windier once she got higher into the air. She stopped suddenly, dragging her feet along the ground. A great sadness welled up inside of Hilde and she gripped her brow with her left hand. Some of her tears fell into the crusty white snow, the tears of which froze on top of it. Her sobs would have been undetectable if it weren't for the large clouds of air billowing from her mouth.

End!! First: * Apparently, this story has a title that is both confusing AND boring. Now I'm not mentioning any names, *COUGH* Little-shinigami *COUGH* Shi-shi *COUGH*.... but I've been told I must change it. So from here on, the story will be known as: 'Does he only have half a soul?' rather than 'I Hate You, My Darling.' So I hope you can all still find it!! ^_^ Second: * Okay, dedications... shi-shi, Airurando, Seiji Takayama, Little-shinigami, Shining Emerald, Symee-Sama, Lorimlowe2, selene947, and Seak5!! Thanks for reviewing. ^_^ I hope this chapter is to your liking. Otherwise- Let me know about it!! Here's my e-mail: becky_sweet_16@hotmail.com * Third: * Here's a special shout out to Oriane W, who said I HAVE to dedicate a chapter just to her, which I can't very well do, but she does get a special mention since she pointed out a few things I can change, -make that should change- in my story. So here you go. ^_~ *
Fourth: * The disclaimer, of course! I don't own Gundam Wing, and never will. I just need to borrow Duo and Hilde for a while, so they can tell me what to write. I hope that's all right with everyone!
Oriane: "No! SHINIGAMI IS MINE!"
Becky: ".....You can have him back when I'm finished!"
Oriane: * Sticks out her tongue. * "Then I get Heero."
Becky: "NO!!!"
This is soulwithwings, signing off. ^_~
