All that Remains is Sorrow
By Silverwolf 2003

Sequel to One Sister's Secret and the Request

Maliki sits watching her sister as she enters the building. Karasu stands at Melkiah's side. Melkiah is also wrapped in his coat. Maliki watches the pair as they interact.
Maliki knows that there is something going on between the pair. Karasu seems very attentive and adoring towards her sister. She also noticed that Karasu would not allow Melkiah to fight. He seems to protect her all the time.
Maliki watches her sister who seems to weigh a little more than before. She notices that Melkiah seems to stay quite near Karasu.

Maliki (stepping towards her sister): It seems to me that someone is gotten herself knocked up.

Melkiah doesn't say a word as she gives Karasu his coat.

Karasu: I believe that is her business alone.

Maliki: Gee, aren't we awful protective?

Karasu: Shut up!

Maliki: Oh, touchy, touchy.

Karasu walks away from her. Maliki stands alone.

Maliki: I finally win.

Melkiah and Karasu: We think not.

Melkiah: There's a difference between walking away angry like you do all the time...

Karasu: And just walking away.

Maliki angrily stomps away.

Melkiah and Karasu: We win.

Melkiah laughs. Karasu walks with her as Maliki steps back into the room.

Maliki: I hope you realize dear sister that you will pay for this.

Melkiah: If I must pay because I love someone then I'll take my punishment.

Karasu: You are evil, you know that?

Maliki: Coming from you that comment means nothing.

Maliki smiles. Karasu laughs. Melkiah looks at her sister.

Melkiah: You make even him look like an angel.

Maliki: That's not my problem!

Melkiah: It could be.

Melkiah walks away from her sister. Maliki stand unsure of how to reply to her sister's last statement. Karasu doesn't say a word as he disappears from sight. Melkiah walks to the doorway of Karasu's room. She goes to knock.

Karasu: What is it, love?

Melkiah: How did you know it was I?

Karasu: I know your footsteps love.

Melkiah: Promise me that you'll still fulfill my request.

Karasu (looking towards her): I promise love.

Melkiah: You do still remember my request?

Karasu: I promise I will protect your sister. I also promise that no
matter what your punishment I will not step in. But will not stand by
and let her hit you love.

Melkiah: She won't hit me because of our unborn child, but she will
still make sure I pay for my actions.

Karasu: I am truly sorry love.

Melkiah: Don't be. I will not be sorry for falling in love and you
shouldn't be either. No matter my punishment I will be proud of my
feelings.

Karasu: I'm not sorry for loving you. I am sorry for not being able to
protect you, love.

Melkiah (kissing Karasu): You have protected me.

Karasu laughs.

Melkiah: Even when I stepped in the way during your fight with Kurama
you protected me.

Karasu: Why do you say that love?

Melkiah: Because even though I got hurt. I was never hurt like Kurama
would've been.

Karasu: I'm sorry you even got hurt love.

Melkiah: Don't be. If I had never stepped in the way I would have
never discovered that you could be gentle towards me.

Karasu looks at her. He can see the tears in her eyes. As closes her eyes that begin to travel down her cheeks. Karasu wipes them away with the pad of his thumb. He embraces her knowing that he might not ever see her again.
(The Best Thing)
Never want to fly

Never want to leave

Never want to say what you mean to me

Never want to run

Frightened to believe

You're the best thing about me

Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry

Stuck in a maze searching for a way to

Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me

You're so close where do you end

Where do I begin?

Always pushing and pulling

Sometimes vanity takes vacation time on me

I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered

North of gravity head up in the stratosphere

You and I roller coaster riding love

You're the centre of adrenalin

And I'm beginning to understand

Never want to fly

Never want to leave

Never want to say what you mean to me

Never want to run

Frightened to believe

You're the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through fire

These are things I would do for love

Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason

Up is down the impossible occurs each day

This intoxication thrills me

I only pray it doesn't kill me

Never want to fly

Never want to leave

Never want to say what you mean to me

Never want to run

Frightened to believe

You're the best thing about me

You're the centre of adrenalin

And I'm beginning to understand

You could be the best thing about me

Never want to fly

Never want to leave

Never want to say what you mean to me

Never want to run

Frightened to believe

You're the best thing about me

What if you're the best thing about me

Melkiah: If I go remember that I love you. If something should happen
to m e later that don't ever forget that I existed. Keep my memory
near your heart. Know that if I go and you learn to love again I will
not be angry with you.

Karasu: I love you. I won't ever love another. I can't, love.

Melkiah: There will be someone and she will make you happy. I only
hope that I will meet her someday even if it is only in your dreams.

Karasu: You sound a though your leaving me forever love.

Maliki steps into the hall.

Maliki: Because she is. She is no longer allowed to stay here. I have
made sure of that.

Melkiah steps away. The tears falling from her eyes only make Maliki happy. Karasu remains in his room. Melkiah slowly slips away from Karasu's embrace until he can only hold her hand. Eventually Melkiah's hand slips from his grasp. She shuts the door leaving him inside.
Karasu stares at the door. He slams both hands against it. He knows he can't interfere. He promised and to break a promise towards Melkiah would kill him more. He slams his fist against the door again.

(My All)
I am thinking of you

In my sleepless solitude tonight

If it's wrong to love you

Then my heart just won't let me right

Cause I've drowned in you

And I won't pull through

Without you by my side

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me

Imagining I'm looking in your eyes

I can see you clearly

Vividly emblazoned in my mind

And yet you're so far

Like a distant star

I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight

I'd give my all to have

Just one more night with you

I'd risk my life to feel

Your body next to mine

Cause I can't go on

Living in the memory of our song

I'd give my all for your love tonight

Give my all for your love

Tonight
