Two: Love

&

She lied there on the bed, her heart broken. Her blue-hazel eyes filled with lonesome tears that she had no right to shed. It was her own damn fault was he was gone, they were all gone. She could remember the sight of the pain in his face when she told him as she broke down… at last.

Flashback

She stared absently at the ceiling as she lay down on their bed. Her tri-hair colored lover walked closer to her than before. He leaned over her, trying to take her out of the trace she had been in off and on for about a week now. She had been that way since the night she was entirely alone. He wasn't there, nor was Yuugi, nor Tamashii. They had all left her that night and he remember exactly what she said.

"Don't worry yourself so much. I'll be fine. What could possibly happen to me?" She had told all of them as she smiled warmly, just as she would. He had objected to this but she had convinced him to go to work so that all of them could have a good life. She kissed him good bye and they all left her. When he had returned at six in the morning he saw her fast asleep in bed but for some reason he felt that she had changed or something happened and he missed it.

"Oh." She said suddenly as she realized he was there. "I d-didn't see you there… I-I'm sorry." She stuttered. He had never known her to stutter. She quickly sat up and turned to him. He saw her eyes, they were not the same. Not at all. They were filled with worry, despair, guilt, and even fear. It was as if she feared him, like she was afraid to tell him something.

"Watashi no ai… doushita?" He asked her worriedly, "Did something happen?" He asked as he sat down next to her. She only stared at him as tears steadily filled her eyes. His eyes widened as he watched her tears come streaming down her cheeks. She clasped her arms around her shoulders and her shoulders began to shake as she cried. She had broken down, she had hidden it from him for so long that it slowly tore her apart inside and now she could never go back.

He came to her aid and hugged her tightly trying to calm her down but it was in vain for he didn't know. She refused to stop her sobbing until he looked her straight into her eyes and asked her why she was crying. She slowly outreached her left hand and touched his cheek gently. She mumbled something and in doing so he asked her to speak louder.

"I betrayed you…" She spoke, deep pain clear in her voice. He didn't understand her. He couldn't understand why she would say that to him. He didn't have the slightest clue to what she could have done to betray him. He could never accuse her of anything. He loved her, or so he thought.

"Nani? How could you betray me?" He asked her, making her comment sound like a joke. He wanted her to tell him that she was making this up to make fun of him but she answered in no funny manner. She was saddened by this because now she had to explain to him what she meant. He was going to know what she kept from him and he would leave her. This she knew.

"I made love to him…" She said laying her outreached arm in her lap, "I made love to Seto." His heart stopped. His mind had registered what she had said but his heart declined it, his heart denied it. He didn't want to believe her but those eyes of hers told him that she wasn't lying. She was telling him the truth and that is not what he wanted the truth to be.

"K-Kaiba?" He stammered and saw her solemnly nod in agreement. His heart slowly began to break that very moment. He now knew her meaning and he hated it. He was filled with so many emotions that he felt as if he would explode, dying and forgetting it all. He hated her, he loved her, he despised her, and he held her dear. His emotions wouldn't stop.

"I-I'm sorry…" She said as if those two words would make everything okay again. They would not. He stood up and turned around to walk away. He knew that this was it. He could no longer be in her life, nor Yuugi, or their child. Why should they? She had chosen someone else, she had replaced him and on her own free will. They would leave her so she could have what she wanted.

"It's very clear you have chosen who you love." He told her quite coldly as he stopped and stood in the doorway, "We will just leave you to your choice." He told her as he started to walk out the door. She registered this in both her mind and her heart. She yelled for him to stop as she ran to him falling to her knees and grabbing onto the back of his blue jacket. She buried her face into the soft cloth and cried.

"P-please… don't leave me." She begged him as she continued to cry into the back of his jacket. He slightly turned and looked down upon her his eyes empty with no emotion. She lifted her head and connected with his gaze, her eyes full of tears and pain.

"You have already made that decision…" He told her cruelly. She let go of his jacket and he slowly walked away. She could hear his voice telling Yuugi and Tamashii that they were going to leave. She listened to them all as she cried silently collapsing to the floor and curling into a ball. She was going to get what she asked for, to be alone.

End

She didn't want to lose her family and it was her fault for it. She didn't want to take in all that happened. She had locked away her feelings of happiness as well as her consciousness. She would just lie there regretting it all. Regretting what she knew wasn't right in the first place. She closed her eyes feeling the pain come back to her with full force and this time she couldn't ignore these feelings. They would overpower her and consume her. She felt the guilt, the loneliness, the pain. This is not what she wanted. She wanted them to come back to her.

She didn't want to admit that her lover had left her and taken her family with him, including her child. She loved them all so much but how could she do that to them, make that big of a mistake and then think that they would stay with her. She was so blind and she kept telling herself that they would come back. This was in vain. The phone started to ring. She came out of her depressing state but she lied there and let the phone continue to ring and ring again until she heard the loud beep signaling that the caller got the answering machine. She suddenly heard the familiar message by her and her lover.

"Hi, you've reached the Mouto's residence-"

"And we would like you to leave a message-"

"Please."

She started to cry even more, remembering the recording of that. They kept teasing each other before they finally got a pretty decent message recoded for the incoming calls. He wouldn't let her make it a normal message because to him it was too boring. They would always joke around like that but now she was always crying and never happy. She suddenly heard the voice of the one who had brought her into this hell. It was him and he was calling her and he knew her pain. He had no right to.

"You've really got to change that message. I've heard that he left you, they all did. I was just calling to tell you that I will be here. And your sister, I left her just as he left you. Please call me as soon as you get this. I love you." She heard the answering machine click off. She didn't want to call him but another part of her want to. She hated this feeling. Once again she felt torn between her family and him. She wanted it all to end. She wanted to die. She couldn't go on living like this. She had to end it all now.
