Hello again! Thanks for the feedback. I know it is a bit weird to see Seishirou sobbing, but remember he is just a kid here. ^_- Yah, the normal Seishirou would DEFINETLY not be sobbing.= P. By the way, even though Seishirou killed his mother at the age of 16(I think), for the purpose of this story, his mother has already told him about "the one he loves best", but not that Seishirou is the one she loves best. Well, on to the next chapter!

"To keep thinking of only one person is something only a sick heart can do."

My heart is sick without you.

Why are you crying? Is your heart sick too?

Sick Heart
Chapter Two: Why are you crying?

The boy seemed fairly startled to see Subaru approaching him. He looked up in shock, the slowly inched his way towards the pink tree. The boy seemed frightened.

"There there boy. I wont hurt you. What's wrong? Are you lost?" Subaru asked with a kind smile. Subaru had worked with children before on several of his "jobs". He had often comforted crying children. Subaru knew what it was like to be alone; knew what it was like to be afraid. He frowned a little, remembering the first time he had seen a ghost. This boy had a strange aura about him,a familiar aura. Almost like a ghost's.

"Are you alright? You can trust me," Subaru encouraged, trying to place the boys aura. Then the boy did something unexpected. He stood up, a look of anger painted on his young face.
"I don't need your help.leave me alone!" The boy yelled, fiercely. "There is nothing YOU can do, just leave me alone." The boy's eyes were wide and wild. Then, a he whirled around, turning away from Subaru. Subaru could have done what the boy said. He could have walked away and left.

**No. I wont leave this boy, **Subaru thought. **I wont leave him like this. It's my job to help people. I must have been brought here today for a reason.**

"Listen," Subaru began, "I don't know your situation, and I can never completely understand what you are going through. I won't lie and tell you that I can ever completely understand. But at least, I can listen. Maybe even help." Subaru sighed deeply. "Won't you let me try?"

The boy was still facing the tree. Then, he nodded, and slowly turned around. "Well, maybe you could listen, at least." The boy carefully said. Subaru gasped at the face he saw before him. The boy was stunningly beautiful. He had dark hair and lightly tanned skin. However, the strangest thing about this boy were his yellow-amber eyes that bore right through Subaru's. Droplets of tears still clung to the boy's eyes like clear crystals framing a yellow flower. **How could a boy this young be so beautiful?** Subaru wondered. **He looks like he is about ten or twelve**

"Al-alright." The boy said, hesitantly. "But only because there is no one else to tell." The boy slumped down against the pink sakura tree as Subaru gracefully sat down beside him. **Why is this boy all alone?** Subaru thought. **What about his parents?**

"What about your parents? Have you tried talking to them?' Subaru voiced aloud. The boy chuckled a bit, almost as if Subaru had made a joke. "My parents are the problem. My mother is forcing me into her line of work."

Subaru thought about his family, forcing him to become something that he could not bare being. True, he liked helping people, but the sadness always got to him. Subaru instantly understood what this boy was going through.

"And that's not the worst part," the boy continued. "My mother told me that when I follow in her footsteps, I wont be able to feel. She said that our line of work doesn't involve feelings. But it doesn't make sense! How can my mother not feel when I know she loves me! She must love me! Doesn't she?"

The boy started to tear up again. "All this time, I thought she loved me. She has treated me like she loves me! But now, she said, in six years I will have to take her position. And all she told me was that we have to hide our feelings, and that before she/" The boy suddenly stopped talking. Looking away from Subaru, he continued, very slowly, "/that before she resigns, she will be able to tell me her true feelings. But I want to know now! Why can't she tell me now? And I want to feel. I don't want to be unfeeling like she is!

"But there is something even worse. She told me that my dea/" The boy stopped again, this time looking up at Subaru straight in the eyes. "She told me that my de- destiny would involve someone that I love. She said that I would be, well, she said that the one I love best will hurt me."

A breeze began to blow, tossing sakura petals around the pair of young men. The boy reached out towards the wind, trying to catch a few of the petals in his hand.

Subaru looked at this little boy with pity. **Poor boy. Imagine, not being able to feel. Feelings are what make us the way we are. Imagine, not being able to love the people you love or care for the people you care about.**

"Is that why you are so sad?" Subaru asked, tentatively.

"No," the boy answered. Then he continued:

"That's not why my heart is sick"

-There is chapter two! Cliffhanger! Tell me what you think. ^_^ I tried to portray Seishirou very differently that he is usually portrayed. Also, I tried to explain why Seishirou could not kill Subaru at the hospital, even though he supposedly "Did not care" for him. It is my belief that Seishirou DID care for him, but could not show it. So, according to this theory, he lost the bet. Well, that's one theory. = P Ja! ~Oreus
