Chapter Two: Totally Lost
Her honey blonde hair hung limply around her shoulders, heavy from the rain falling in sheets from the gloomy grey sky above. The droplets of rain that fell on her face, mixed in with the tears that streaked her face. She didn't make a move to wipe either from her face.
She shut her eyes tightly, feeling the hot tears flowing. There seemed to be an endless supply. She felt like she could cry for am eternity. It would never end. Her tears were her pain and her pain was the lost of the one man she ever loved and felt she could ever love. Her very soul felt like it had died with him, and now she was just another soulless being, roaming the earth aimlessly.
She didn't think she could ever feel emotion again. It had all been drained from her when Manta told her of his affair, when he told her that Yoh was about to break their engagement. She had purged all her emotions in one anguished scream and now nothing else remained except an endless flow of tears.
"YOH!"
She sat erect, drenched in sweat. She was breathing heavily, her eyes wild with frenetic fear. This had been the sixth night in a row she had been tormented with the same dream.
She clutched the sheets to her body and gazed around her room.
Giving a soft whimper, she gasped for air once last time, before lying back, her eyes open, now unable to sleep. She pulled the sheets up, her hands tightly clutching the fabric.
"Does fate hate me this much!" Another river of tears flowed from her eyes which heavily blurred her vision.
'Yoh… since childhood, you're the only one who always stood beside me. And God knows how I've grown attach to you. You're one of the only things I have left in my life that make it worthwhile… If I lose you, I'll have nothing… Why? Why did you have to leave me? Do you really hate me that much? Am I that repulsive to you as to choose her over me?'
sonna koto wakatte-ita hazu
suki ni nareba natta dake
kurushimu koto
I should have known this.
If I fell in love with you that much,
I would hurt just as much.
setsunai ne wakatte-iru no ni
omotte-iru anata dake wo
konna ni
aenai toki mo
Even though I know it's heart-wrenching,
I keep thinking only of you,
even when
I can't see you.
Wakatte ita Hazu
(Fushigi Yuugi)
It had been almost a week since Yoh left the onsen. His friends, Manta, Horo Horo, Ren, Ryu, and the others still stopped by occasionally to visit Anna. Although she would just ignore them, they still try their best to comfort her. Tamao decided to stay at the inn since Anna would be alone if won't.
Feeling completely empty, Anna struggled to stand up. Her legs seem to give out. However, to her surprise, someone came to aid her. (sounds like she's disabled, ne?) She could feel those masculine arms holding at her waist. Irritation could be seen through the blonde's face. She never wanted to be treated like a useless crap. But all of the people in the house insisted that she needed help.
"Who told you to come to my room?" Anna was displeased. She didn't like the idea of someone giving assistance to her, especially at her own sanctuary. (hehehe)
"I'm sorry for intruding your privacy. Tamao-san asked me to take a look on you since dinner's ready." came the reply of the man.
"Get lost! I can manage all by myself!" Anna snapped at him.
His eyes become hurt as a sorrowful expression wipes across his youthful features. He said nothing in response. He turned his face towards the hardwood floor. She could feel his disappointment as he sulked his way through the door. Anna felt a pang of guilt wash over her. The blonde regretted her actions. The English young man was only trying to be nice to her. But the thought of getting close to another man makes her think about Yoh over and over again.
"Wait, Lyserg" Anna called him, hoping that he can hear her somehow.
I heard his voice jump and could almost sense his eyes light up. "Hai? What can I do for you?" He always grasp at the opportunity to help me.
"Um… could you please tell Tamao to just bring my food here? I really don't feel well to go downstairs." I asked him. "Of course." He then went down to the kitchen, the sound of his footsteps slowly fading.
She sighed morosely and went to the veranda to get a different view for a change. She heard a knock on the door. 'Must be Tamao" she thought. "Come in." she said dryly.
Lyserg entered Anna's dull room. Holding a tray of food, he saw Anna motioned for him to put it at the corner. He immediately followed the blonde's instructions. Noticing that Anna's thoughts were drifting to somewhere else, he started walking away from the room.
Seeing that Lyserg was gone, Anna began eating the appetizing meal Tamao had prepared. After eating, she set the tray aside. Once again, she has nothing more to do. So this time, she went to the rooftop. The sky was gloomy and there were no stars at all. It's as if it was sharing her pain.
'Why did it have to be this way?'
