Anya's scream rang through the house when she woke up with a pair of dark
eyes staring over her. Anya fell with a thud out of the bed and onto the
ground as Haru jumped backwards and tripped over a chair landing on his
face.
"Oh My God! Haru! I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean-you...you scared the living
beejeeus outta me!" she panted scrambling around the bed to help him up.
"Do you always stand over sleeping people, or are you just trying to give
me a heart attack?!?!" She grabbed his hand and helped him up then blushed
when he didn't let go of her hand.
Haru colored a bit and quickly let go of her hand. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't
realize...I mean...I...yeah, just sorry." he stuttered hastily regaining his
composure. In a moment his face changed and once again he had his charming
playful smile pasted on his face. "So, feelin' better? You up for some
breakfast?" he said laughing a little.
Frowning, Anya looked at him and said gloomily, "...It's not...l-l...lee......leeks
[insert psycho music here] is it..." She put her head down and started
praying for the first time in her life please don't say leeks please don't
say leeks! She looked up again with a pleading look.
Haru's face contorted and then he started laughing wildly. "You're just
like Kyo! No, it's not leeks. Some good ol' American eggs, bacon
and...FLAPJACKS!!!" [Insert sweat drop on Anya] Laughing again, Haru left the
room cackling insanely.
Confused Anya said to herself, "Wow...he's got problems...big time..."She
giggled and changed into her clothes: black tank, Corvette seatbelt belt,
light blue [faded?] knee highs jeans, and of course, her favorite all red
and black Chuck Taylor's Converse All Stars. Humming to her self she tossed
her pajamas on the floor and walked into the kitchen. She stopped abruptly
when she noticed Haru serving breakfast in an...apron that said, "Kiss the
Chef!". Everyone at the table turned to look at her as she sat down.
"Anya...are you feeling ok?" asked Shigure with a worried look on his face.
Anya smiled and nodded. Haru walked over and put three pancakes on her
plate with some eggs and bacon. The aroma filled her nose and in a second
it was gone. [Insert sweat drop on everyone else]
Anya looked down with a sad look on her face. "Um...you guys...I'm going to be gone for a while today. I have to see my boyfriend." Suddenly everyone looked up in horror. "No! No, I'm not going to tell him anything...I- I am going to break up with him." she explained tears with welling up in her eyes. Without a parting smile she left, once again leaving everyone depressed.
The sun hid behind gray clouds, threatening to rain again. Wind whipped through Anya's hair stinging her ominous face. As she walked down the street she saw a boy standing under a tree holding a blooming rose. He noticed her walking towards her and ran over to sweep her in a big hug. Just before she could stop him, he strong arms were around her...and then he was hugging a squawking swan. He screamed in confusion and then watched in awe as the swan spread her beautiful white wings and pointed her long slender neck towards the sky landing gracefully upon the ground. The swan picked up the heap of clothes in her beak before he could notice they were there. In an instant the swan flew round the corner into an alley and waited patiently to change back into human form.
About five minutes later Anya ran back to the bench where the boy was standing again. He looked up and watched her walk towards him. She opened his arms to embrace her then stared in horror when she pushed him away. He swallowed hard and clenched his fists waiting for what was coming.
Anya looked out at the pond behind the trees and started to speak, "Dimitri...remember the first time we met? It was right here under this very same tree. I was up in the tree and you were walking under it. The branch broke, I fell and you caught me. Just in time. Remember what you said to me?"
"Where are your wings sweet one? Have you come to watch over me, my beautiful angel?" Dimitri said smiling at the memory.
"It was a cheesy line, but I fell for it...and you. Hard. Then you kissed me. It felt good...real. It felt right. Dimitri...I still love you. I do and it's hard for me not to...but...I have to. Dimitri...I-I..." she swiftly turned around so she didn't have to see his face. A tear slid down her cheek and was quickly followed by more. "I...I can't be with you anymore...it's so...so-"A sob broke through her through and squeezed her heart, "It's so hard...and it hurts...so much..." she said trying to stop her tears from running down her cheeks.
A deathly silence stood between them until Dimitri spoke. "If it hurts so much...then...why...?" he asked his voice breaking.
Anya's voice caught in her throat and for a moment all that could be heard was her weeping. Barely above a whisper she said what raced through her body and slice through her heart. "Because...I love you..." Suddenly the world was whizzing by in a blur of colors and blood pounded in her ears. Tears coursed down her face and sobs escaped her throat but she never stopped running. Her feet slapped against the concrete and the rain soaked through her shirt yet never slowed her down. She came to a small stream she flung her self in the water, walking towards a waterfall against the rushing current. When she finally came to the waterfall, she walked through it into the cave hidden behind it. Crystals of red, blue, green, and any other color imaginable glittered on the top and sides of the cave. The colors made a beautiful rainbow on the floor of the cave. Soaking wet, Anya tossed her self onto the small patch of flowers and cried through the storm, salty tears leaving tracks on her quivering face.
