Chapter 10
By Yoru-101
A lone grave lay in the flowered field.
A single visitor stood by and stared.
The figure was a man, tall and darkly coloured, except for his face. His alabaster skin contrasted with shocking blue eyes. They shone with a sadness that threatened to emerge with tears.
He looked down at the grave. Onyx hair streaked with white draped over his sad eyes. He smiled, a sad smile.
"It has been a long time, my love."
He touched the grave tenderly, and swept away invisible dust that mourned its stone surface.
He sat down beside the grave, and placed a bouquet of thornless roses at its base. The man sighed in sorrow.
"Our son is growing up much too fast." he whispered softly to the grave. He patted the ground.
"He looks more and more like you everyday." The man smiled again, a little more happier this time, and continued speaking.
"I'm sorry that it has been so long, but I couldn't leave Shibusen. I had to keep the Kishin trapped, but you knew that." He sighed with exhaustion, and raked his long fingers through his dark hair.
"But that time's over now." He sighed as he closed his eyes. He raised his head.
The wind blew gently through his hair, as if to softly comfort him. The man's heart clenched. His hand raised to try and calm the saddened organ, but layers of flesh prevented its boundary of comfort. A lone tear slid down his cheek.
"I was going to propose to you, you know." He choked out.
"When the ordeal was over and done with, we were going to be married," he sobbed softly,
"I even had our rings prepared in advance."
Tears slid down his pristine white cheeks, voicing the silent sorrow that coursed through the dark man. He choked again, trying to calm his breathing to continue speaking to someone who couldn't hear him.
"I wish you were here" he whispered to the wind.
After spending many moments in silence, some trying to calm himself, some just resting in peaceful silence, the man stood.
Pulling a black coat out of seemingly nowhere, and reached into his pocket to pull out a mask. He stood, and moved to put on his dark cloak.
He raised the mask to his face, but before he did so, he wiped his eyes dry, and patted the grave stone once more.
"I will return when I can" he said softly,
"And maybe next time, Kid will come with me".
With that, he placed the mask over his face, and took to skies. As he climbed higher and higher, always looking back until could no longer see the grave.

And would-be wife
She shall always be remembered
The man sighed to himself one last time, leaving his sorrows behind him.
It had already taken a full day for him to get to the grave site, and now he already had to leave.
He picked up the speed and accelerated back to Shibusen. He knew he would be tired by the time he got back, but deep in his gut, he felt it was urgent he needed to return.

WEEEELLLL?
WHAT'CHA THINK?
Do you know who the man was, HMMMMMM?
I thought I made it pretty obvious. And to those of you who guessed in advance, thank you!
I HOPE THIS CAME AS A SURPRISE TO THE REST OF YOU. It's more fun that way anyway.
For those of you that haven't reviewed yet, NOW IS THE TIME, MY FRIENDS. NOW IS THE TIME.
I'd really like to hear your input on this chapter. It'd mean a lot to me.
And, a bit of bonus question, WHO CAN GUESS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER FROM SOUL EATER. I'd like to know yours too. 3
UNTIL NEXT TIME.
