Six: Return

&

A girl sat in a chair behind a big desk, one of her knees pulled to her chest with her arms wrapped loosely around it. Her chin rested on the top of her knee with her long light blonde hair sprawled over her shoulders and her arched back. She could never keep her mind straight anymore. Even her own 5 year old son began to worry about her. He would always stand there holding her lifeless hand as he looked into her deep blue eyes and begged her to go back to the way she was before.

She continued to sit there her mind drifting off more and more. Every time she remembered her lover she would pull herself deeper and deeper into the darkness that was surrounding her heart. She could never seem to break free because he had left her. He left her to rot. Now that he was gone she felt she could never go on. What would happen to their son? Would their son even have a future now that her husband was gone? She could never stop worrying but it was only in her mind.

This girl was Kisa. The door of the office opened but Kisa didn't seem to hear it at all because she was so lost within herself. The one who just came in looked at her with sorrow on his face. This was all his doing. No one could convince him otherwise. He had finally accepted his faults but would that be enough? He slowly walked toward her, his ice blue eyes never leaving her face underneath her long light blonde bangs. As he neared her his love for her became to flow more fully through him. His infatuation had completely left him. He was glad even though he didn't show it.

He stood next to her seemingly soulless body and bent down on one knee, looking straight into her empty blue eyes. She showed no response of any kinda she just sat there blankly staring ahead as if looking past him and into a another time and dimension. He sighed heavily as he gently put his hands on his lover's shoulders.

"Kisa? Kisa please answer me. It's Seto." He said to her quietly. Her blank and empty eyes widened and she whispered his name to herself as if she was trying to remember a single thought of him. But it was difficult. Within Kisa's mind was nothing but darkness now and she could barely hear Seto but all she wanted was to hear him. She walked through the darkness calling his name but the real 'her' could only whisper it for she was trapped within herself.

Seto heard her continue to whisper his name, still trying to remember him. He couldn't blame Kisa for trying to forget him. He had left her, left her to die and be alone. He never wanted to see her like this. It tore him apart to see her so distant and trapped. His heart felt wrenched but he deserved it. Seto took his left hand and gently touched her pale cheek making her look into his eyes. He had started to cry, he had never cried before. Not in his whole life. He could never show weakness yet here he was crying…

"Kisa? Please answer me. I don't want you to be this way anymore. Please come back to me."

Seto leaned forward and kissed her softly on her forehead before he pulled her close to him, her leg falling down and landing next to her other. Her arms dangled at her sides as Seto held her body close his. Kisa was still lost in her mind, trying desperately to escape and be back with him. Within her mind Kisa kept calling Seto's name before she found herself crying, on her knees, surrounded by the blackness that enclosed her and kept her from her senses. She could not break free of her soulless state, she needed Seto to keep calling to her and bring her back to him.

"Seto…" She spoke softly making Seto's eyes widened. Seto sat back and stared at Kisa, his hand still on her cheek. Her eyes were still empty but he knew that she was trying to reach him.

"Kisa? Come back. Kisa, please." He told her desperately. Within Kisa's mind she felt a light shine on her, warming her body and soul. She looked up to see a bright light shinning down on her and making the darkness disappear around her. She soon looked in awe as many different flowers began to grow around her and she heard the sounds of birds coming to her ears. The darkness was gone and she was no longer trapped within her mind and heart.

Seto saw as Kisa's eyes filled with light and fullness, no longer empty as they were. She stared at him as her eyes filled with her tears that she had held back for such a very long time. She never liked crying, especially in front of her lover but she felt it was okay to cry now and he would let her.

"I'm, I'm, I'm sorry I-"

Kisa had wrapped her arms around Seto and she brushed her lips against his. Her eyes were closed but his were still open and very wide with surprise. She had taken him back, she didn't seem to care that he slept with another girl, especially since it was her sister. Kisa soon pulled away and looked at Seto through her long blonde bangs. Her eyes were full of tears, tears that she didn't need to be shedding and Seto.

"Don't be sorry. Please." Kisa whispered to Seto as she sobbed, "I don't care what happened. I'm just glad you're back." She said as she laid her head on Seto's chest.

"Do you really mean that?" Seto asked her quietly. Kisa smiled warmly as she listened to his slow breathing.

"Yes. I do." Kisa said quietly and she sat up and looked at Seto with her deep blue eye full of happiness. Seto smiled before he leaned toward Kisa, kissing her. He wanted to remind her how much he loved her and prove to her that he would never leave her again.
