I stand out here, just waiting.
Waiting for him, even though he'll never come.
I'm sure of that; he'll never come, never see me.
I'm nothing anymore, simply the wind, the cold, and the thing watching you making you look over your shoulder in worry.
I am the creature of the shadows, I always will be.
Through any kind of weather, any kind of change I'll be here.
I flickered my eyes open as the winds shifted disrupting my thoughts, I glanced down from my perch seeing a shadow walk down the small rocky path, I pulled my self from the broken tree limb jumping over to stand where his destination was.
If I had a heart it would have started to beat rapidly in excitement, I only felt an empty ghostly feeling, a small spark of old emotions. My doubts dashed as he walked onward, clearing my clouded thoughts.
He came up the path, heading towards me. Happiness or what I can feel of it filling my plastron.The wind blew through his fur as he walked his eyes down cast, glazed, a look of soft worn sorrow painted upon his features. His constantly changing eyes were a dim brown, his ears drooped through its holder.
I wish I could comfort him, fix his sorrow, but I never can…He finally made it, eyes still down cast as he placed a flower by my feet, wind whipping around us.
He looked up, our eyes meeting for a brief moment.
The moment seemed to last an eternity before he looked away and left me alone the cold winds biting at him as he walked.
I was left alone again.
I closed my eyes a sadness drifting through me, "I love you usagi…" I whispered, as I stood there, anchored to my spot condemned to stay, to wait.
To wait till he joined me here, in the darkness, but I will wait just for him, here.
I glanced back eyeing the stone behind me; it had cracks already forming from the age.
Here lies Leonardo Hamato 'Fearless leader.' A brother, a son, a strong warrior and a loving husband.May he rest in peace, even if we have lost him at a young age.
I turned my gaze back to the rocky path seeing his shape blur from the sun setting, the darkness drooping down around me.
I will wait here until I can be with him, and escape from the darkness.
