~Love painted black~

I sat on the roof, rain drenching every surface of my beaten body. I no longer cared about the icy cold droplets that caused me to shiver uncontrollably, I only cared about her; the one person who caused me so much pain, yet given me so much pleasure. I remembered all the good times we had, and relived all of the bad memories I had acquired frequently. Was this the way love was supposed to be?

I curled myself into a tighter ball, staring blankly at the sky. A smile appeared on my bony and bruised face, thinking about when we were little...don't you remember? We used to be inseparable, you and I. It was always Takeru and Hikari, playing together, immune at the time to the bitter ambrosia that was love. Who knew that one day we'd be ensnared in Aphrodite's trap, now only destined to be each other's own undoing.

With a long sigh I let my smile flee from my depressed self. This wasn't anything to be happy about; we aren't who we used to be. No, the girl I loved left, leaving her empty soulless body behind to torment me. Somehow, I'm still compelled to stay with this new blood lusty girl, in hopes that one day; my real Hikari will come back. I dare to dream. Now I realize that the young Takeru she adored was gone too. Did she steal more than my heart?

I stood up, the rain now coming down in sheets. How could I have been so blind to the world? Was it really my fault, or was it that love blindfolded me from the horrendous reality, causing trouble for me and her for more than the first time. Had this happened to her too? Somehow, I think that it hadn't. I think insanity is the thing that veiled her, not the treacherous torments of utterly profound love. Otherwise, where would her bloodshot gaze have been acquired from?

I walked over to the edge of the building, stepping out onto the ledge. Looking at the street 9 stories downward, my life played and danced falsely before my eyes. I could see my beloved Hikari, back in the old days when we were only little simple minded toddlers with boundless energy. I saw how you treated me lovingly before my years of agony and abuse began... it was then that you slipped into the dark recesses of love, gone to a place where I could not bear to follow until now. You were my life, and you left this place, leaving me as nothing but an empty vessel. My life escaped with you all those years ago. Well, the rest of me is coming Hikari.

I jumped off the building's ledge letting myself, my life, and all traces of love, turn into a endless void of black.

people, I know it looks like it's the end, but it's not trust me..besides, this was the prologue part, the real story is yet to come. So don't go thinking I killed Takeru for real...at least, not yet anyways ;p
