Challenge 002:
Promise - Defeat
Author: KyaniteD
Title: Defeat
Prompt: Promise
Characters: Sei, Youko
Pairing: Sei/Youko
Word Count: 100
Warnings: Depressing.
Author's
Notes: Came to my mind while relaxing to Cradle of Filth, "Her Ghost In
The Fog", which is also the source of the quoted line.
.
"Youko, why are you crying? Shouldn't I be the one�"
"But- I'm leaving you behind." She reaches out and I take her hand. "I'm so sorry, Sei..."
"Hush. Don't be silly. There won't be a day that I don't hear you lecturing me."
I wink at her and she smiles. I hate to see her so weak, and
she does, too. She used to
be my stronghold, and now I cannot even be her
knight. She often told me to leave, but
I promised long ago I would stay.
"Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts." I'm losing to God.
Again.
Challenge 002: Promise - Resolve
Author: KyaniteD
Title: Resolve
Prompt: Promise
Characters: Sei, implied Youko
Word Count: 100
Warnings: Somewhat depressing.
Summary: Companion to "Defeat".
Excuses / Author's Notes: I'm in a good mood, I love angst and Sei just didn't stop thinking.
.
Is this their way, I wonder; their last resort to guiding
the lost sheep home? To take her
away from me; she, for whom I had forsaken
all and everything, absolution and salvation?
They must know about my love for
her. And they must be jealous. And they want me all
the more. So much that they
relieve a pure soul of her earthly existence. They made her a bait,
and as much
as I hate them for that, I cannot forsake her. I will live, and bide my time as
a
good Christian soul. Until I see her again.
