Broken Heart
*Yayoi's POV*
I saw Shido appear from behind the door. Rihoe and I stood. Shido's face took on an angry mask and he moved. He surged forward with too much speed.
Rihoe was on the floor, almost, if not more, shocked as I was at Shido's action. He stood there, staring at Rihoe as she lay on the ground wide- eyed and speechless. I had never seen such anger in Shido's eyes before. Those eyes found my gaze and I was terrified.
"Shido?" I whispered, the best I could manage at the current moment.
He scooped Rihoe up under his arm and disappeared. I guess he's doing exactly what she did to Cain. I grabbed my keys and was out the door. I was headed to Lavender's Point to try and stop Shido from making a horrible mistake.
When I reached Lavender's Point, I ran for the cliff. There, Shido was dumping Rihoe's body. "Shido, why?"
"Why!? Because she did the same to Cain, that's why! Without reason, she just took him away from me!"
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe Cain is faking the whole thing and that you just did that to Rihoe for no reason?" I could feel tears start to swell up in my eyes.
"Cain wouldn't. He wouldn't torture me this way."
"Can you really be sure?"
Shido turned and walked away. I sunk to my knees and looked out at the water. Rihoe.

*Shido's POV*
I walked to Cain's house. It was the best place for me right now. Everything was as we left it. Even the bed was still unmade. I laid down and hugged Cain's pillow. It smelled of him; this entire house smelled of him, and of me.
All I could think about was Cain and me and the plans we had made, the decisions I did not get to make, will never get to make. I was ready to return to him, will to succumb to everything a life with Cain had to offer. Then she goes and does the unthinkable.
My body shook from me trying to hold back tears. Finally, I let the sadness take over and I cried until I was surrounded by nothingness. I cried my self to sleep.
"Cain." The violet-haired man giggled to the blonde nibbling at his neck. "Shido." The blonde lifted to his ear to mock. Shido felt a hand tug at his shirt and was force back. He closed his eyes and arched his back slightly as a hand slipped into his pants before removing them. Then suddenly Cain's touch was gone. Shido opened his eyes. He was drenched in blood...
"Cain!" I settled back down on the bed, still clutching onto Cain's pillow as if it was the key to my survival. I laid there for a moment before I decided I didn't much like this room anymore. I went out into the hallway and descended the stairs.
I made my way to the sitting room. Through the window, I could see that it was getting dark out and the sun was almost completely set. But, I was still tired so tired.
I took a nap. When I awoke, the world was coated in a darkness too deep for the human eye. That was good. I, for some reason, was still tired but needed to feed. Hopefully, some foolish human would be all alone and I could find an easy supper. Funny, that was something I never usually think about, searching for dinner. It's generally, a donation from Yayoi. You see, Cain, becoming more like you as time passes.
I fed on some drunk, homeless guy in an alley a few miles from the house. That's the first time I've fed on a human since I left Cain years ago. Even in those nights spent with him recently, I drank him blood and he set out to feed alone. I stayed behind and awaited his return.
Unless, I find someone willing to donate a little blood, I'll have to use the hunter-prey method to obtain food. 'It's all about survival, Shido. You kill to live. Does it really matter so much? They all die eventually and in the end, there is only us.' Cain had said just two nights ago when I refused to hunt with him again.
I walked until it was almost time for the sun to come up. Then, I returned to Cain's house. I mad my way upstairs, loosing my coat in a chair be the bedroom door. I made sure to check the windows. All curtains and blinds were secure, no light would be getting in. I was tired. I removed my clothing and straightened the bed covers before sliding in.
I laid down. I stared at the ceiling until I could no longer hold my eyes open effortlessly.
Just as I was prepared to drift off, a hand brushed my cheek.. I turned my head, my eyes open only a slit. If they could've they would widen, but I simply did not have the strength right now. "C-c.." I never got the name out. I fell into complete nothingness.
-A.R.- Wooo! So, I updated. I'm really starting to not like this story. Or maybe I'm just not in a good mood today. Anies, I'll update when I can. I have other stories to finish. See ya.
