'James, stop right now!' Naomi called, fear taking over her voice and mind.
'4.. 3... 2.. 1.. Here I come!!' James called out as he rammed his body against Naomi's door.
The door broke off of its hinges, falling with a loud thud onto the floor. Naomi was standing near her bed, looking at the door, and then back to James. She was shocked, unbelieving. James was panting, he looked to Naomi. Naomi stepped back, scared of James.
'Please, Naomi, if I was desperate enough to break down your door to talk to you, you must know how much this means to me!' James tried to explain to Naomi desperately.
'How do I know that your not just an insane pervert that would do anything to get into my pants?!' Naomi replied angrily.
'I'm so sorry about that Naomi! I couldn't help myself, I loved you, and your broke my heart! I just wanted it to be like it was before!' James tried to explain.
'No you didn't! That's not what you wanted! I felt your--' James covered Naomi's mouth, blushing.
'I'm sorry, I couldn't control it. I didn't want to do that to you, I don't want to hurt you, I never wanted to hurt you.' James said lowering is voice to a soothing level. He took his hand off of Naomi's mouth, but still held her close to him.
'You're doing it again, I can feel your--'
'Shhh.' James tried to quiet Naomi.
'Please, leave me alone.. I don't know what you want from me.. If you say you don't want that then, what do you want.?' Naomi asked, looking down at the floor. James sighed heavily, trying to keep his mind on track, trying to think only of what he was supposed to say, not what his body clearly wanted to do.
'I... I want you to marry me Naomi.' James finally said, slipping the ring back onto Naomi's hand. James leaned down, his lips touching Naomi's ear. 'Please.' He whispered hoarsely, teasing her.
'No.' Naomi replied, looking away, there was no emotion in her eyes.
'Please, think about this Naomi. I'll do anything to make this work! Please!' James pleaded with her.
'No.' Naomi replied again. James looked down at her.
'Please, I'll--'
'No! I won't marry you! You hurt me! I just wish you would go away!' Naomi practically yelled in his face, pushing him away.
James knew she was hurt; he could never change the past. The damage he had done was irreparable. He had had a small window of time in which he could've salvaged their relationship, and maybe, if he had worked on it long and hard enough, he might have been rewarded with one long and hard night with Naomi, but that wasn't possible now.
James put the door back up for Naomi before he left. He would have someone put it back on the hinges in the morning, and pay for it from his own pocket, it was the least he could do.
He didn't return to the table, he returned to his room. James didn't go out much that day, he was too sad. He had been rejected by the only woman that he had truly loved.
It was a few days later, it was the ninth day James had been staying at King Shinigami's palace. Now it was time for James to return home.
A ship (much like the Crusade) was waiting for James, and his parents. His parents walked in front of him, as he walked behind them. Naomi, her Grandfather, and the other guests (basically the whole Esca crew) were standing to the side, bidding farewell.
'Bye James..' Naomi said sadly, trying to ignore her own feelings.
James looked over at Naomi. 'Good-bye Naomi.' He said, a little hoarsely, as he quickly walked by.
*~*~*Two Weeks Later*~*~*
Naomi was barely eating, and staying up all night crying now. She was so lonely, she didn't know that she would have missed James that much, but she did.
It was the last straw; Naomi was at the end of her rope. No one understood what was wrong. Everyone had tried to help her by talking to her, giving her presents, offering anything that she wanted, but all she wanted was James, she missed him so much.
Naomi had locked her door, she had been in her room all day, crying. James had broken her heart, or had she broken his?
'It was all my fault.. I was too hard on him; I didn't give him a chance..' Naomi sniffled, burying her head into her still soaked pillow.
'Naomi, Sweetie.' A muffled voice came from the other side of the door. Naomi didn't reply.
'Naomi, Sweetie, let me talk to you, please..' It was her Grandfather, he sounded even more depressed and sad than Naomi did at the time.
'Okay...' Naomi sniffled; she walked over to the door and opened it for her Grandfather.
'Sweetie..' Her Grandfather started, picking his words carefully as he had learned over the past two weeks.
Naomi went over and lied back down on her bed, turning away from her Grandfather. Her Grandfather sat on the edge of the bed, opposite of Naomi.
'Naomi.. I've seen how sad you've become.' Her Grandfather started, looking over to Naomi's back.
'I suppose everyone has realized that now.' Naomi replied quietly.
'Yes, I know. I. didn't want to admit it to myself before; I didn't want to admit to myself that you actually love him, that you might actually love Prince James.' Her Grandfather admitted.
'Really.?' Naomi asked, turning over and sitting up on her elbows. Her Grandfather smiled warmly at her.
'Yes, I thought I was going to lose my little Angel to an older man. I didn't want you to be taken away by him.' He continued. Naomi smiled back at her Grandfather, the first time he had seen her smile since James had left. Her smile soon faded.
'But... He's still gone.' Naomi pointed out, looking away sadly.
Naomi's Grandfather took her face in his hand. He smiled at her warmly, turning her to face him.
'I never said that you couldn't go and see him again.' He smiled at her; Naomi gave him the biggest smile he had ever seen in his entire life.
'Thank you so much!!' She cried out, throwing her arms around him happily. Her Grandfather returned the hug, patting her on the back.
'You better get going now, he's waiting for you.' Her Grandfather whispered to her.
