Chapter 10

How could you do this to me Paris,I thought. You still love me don't you? I thought you promised that you would promise to love me forever. I thought I was beautiful. Is this girl more beautiful than I am? I want to know Paris. Please tell me!

I stayed in my room. There was no way that I could just go down there and face him. He probably doesn't even remember me anymore. I'm nothing to him. I might as well leave now while I have the chance. But I didn't have the chance because Hector came into my room and stopped me.

"Kikyo...what are you doing?"he asked.

"I'm leave Hector. There isn't any reason for me to stay here. Paris has found another woman. I'm nothing to him now."

"Where will you go?"

"Why does it matter now?"

"You can't leave."

"Hector...Paris was everything I had ever wanted. He promised that he would love me. You...you just can't break promises Hector. I must leave now."

"But what if I can talk some sense into him."

I shook my head. "No. It won't help."

"You have to stay. He still loves you."

"If he loves me so much then why would he bring another woman here? What does he see in her?!"

"You haven't heard the stories?"

"Of who?"

"Helen,the Queen of Sparta."

I sank to my knees. "No...he didn't..."

"I tried to talk some sense into him when we were coming back but he didn't listen. This could mean war."

"Then let me fight."

"What?"

"You heard me Hector; let me fight."

"No. I care about you Kikyo. I don't want you to do and neither does my brother."

"Let me talk to him,"my lips were starting to tremble. "One last time..."

"Kikyo,you can't--."

"Let me talk to him dammit..."

He sighed. "All right. Stay here."

Soon after Hector had left Paris was already in the room. "Oh my gosh. I can't believe it's actually you,"he said.

"Who is she?"I asked with a serious look on my face.

"What?"

"Is she really Helen of Sparta?"

"Kikyo listen--."

"No you listen! You promised you would love me forever Paris. I'm sorry that I'm nothing to you now. But if you're going to start a war then you might as well let me die."

"No you can't."

"Yes I can Paris...I can die right now. I'm tired of everyone lying to me Paris. How could you do such a thing?"

"People forget..."

"How could you forget me? I thought you loved me!"

"I did Kikyo..."

"And now you love her? So I'm nothing to you."

"That's not it Kikyo--."

"What is it Paris?! People don't break promises Paris. And you said that you would never break your promise to me. I've been staying up almost every night waiting for you to come home so you could make love to me again. Do you even care how long I've been waiting for you to come home? How do you just simply forget about the person you love the most?"

He just sat there speechless. I paced around the room for a bit and then ran out,hoping that Paris wouldn't follow me. But I was stopped by him.

"Kikyo wait!"he said as he grabbed me by the arm.

"Don't even try to follow me anymore Paris! You went to far this time. You lied to me. You betrayed me."

"No I didn't Kikyo."

"Let go of me!"

"No..."

I shook his hand off and started running again. But this time,for some reason I decided to stop myself. Where would I go? What if I actually died this time? I had no choice but to stay here. But how could I watch as my lover was loving another woman?
