Re: Reasons to Leave (open, snowing, night)
By: Homura Date: November 1, 2012, 12:53 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Homura squeezed his hand as he squeezed hers on instinct. She
bit her lip lightly as she listened to his words. A deep sigh
escaped her. "You need me to be strong. How do you want me to
do that? Should I pretend that none of this affects me, that
none of it hurts? Should I turn a smiling face to the world as
I act as if none of this has happened?" She searched his tear
stained face for his response. A few tears rolled down her own
cheek. She was looking for answers. How did he expect her to
handle this?
She played lightly with the edge of her dress. "You didn't mean
for this to happen, didn't mean for me to doubt. But words cut
deep, and they hurt. To be treated like and spoken to like
something no better than a common pet, to be told that I'm
little more than a beast masqurading around as a human." Her
gaze settled on her hand, knowing what lay beneath the flesh
exterior and sighed. "I don't want to ever have cause to doubt
you, just like I don't want to give you cause to doubt. You
know that I love you, but I can't just dust myself off and
pretend like nothing was ever said." She watched him, waitng
for his response. Knowing she'd feel every ounce of what he
felt.

Ren's heart began to ache. He took a deep breath, shaking his
head lightly. A pounding in his chest, as he fell silent. He
honestly didn't know. His head still shaking, his grip
tightening on her hand. Then, nothing, His muscles had relaxed,
and he had stopped moving.
"You can be strong in more ways than one. I know how you feel. I
do. I've been in that spot before. I know it hurts, but we
worked it out. I was strong. He knew that I was hurting, but I
never once let him see it. Because If I did, that means that he
would have won. And if he had won, then I would have lost you.
" Then, a few minutes of silence again.
He didn't know what to say, but his body was still lifeless. All
emotion gone from his eyes. He was shutting down. Something
Homura hadn't seen before. Ever.
"I'm sorry." Was all the ninja could manage.

Homura sat in silence as he spoke, taking in his words. She
felt his hand tighten on hers then go slack. She heard every
word as it settled into her. She felt everything then pain in
his chest and then nothing. She felt vacant, emotionally numb.
She looked back into his eyes hers mirroring his. Her voice
quiet. "You wouldn't have lost me to him. I would have made my
choice regardless. I'll be stronger. I'm sorry a moment of
worry is a loss." She put the pendant she made for him back in
his hand. She had given it to him, and its meaning wouldn't
change. She still wanted him to be warm, for him to have it.
She pulled back slightly shifting back to that fox sized form of
hers, and watched the snow accumulate on the ground. She looked
at him again, [i]"I'm sorry." She knew they were both hurting
but had started to shut down. Time was needed, by both.

Ren took the pendant and stood up, and in the blink of an eye,
was gone.

Re: Reasons to Leave (open, snowing, night)
By: Aska Date: November 1, 2012, 6:04 pm

Aska shook her head. Here the little one was apologizing to a
man that didn't deserve it. A man that should be apologizing to
her, answering her questions, allaying her fears. Instead, he
had fed her lies and guilt. Aska knelt elegantly, smoothing the
kimono that clothed her body, and waited for the now fox sized
dragon to move toward her.
"Little one, I have long been here. Many things I have seen. And
a man that will not soothe your fears, hold you when things are
wrong, and choose your happiness and well being over even his
own pride is not who he says he is." She said softly. "I will
take you to my home, koishii. No one can find you there. Not
even this man and this spiderthing. Do you wish for that?"

The small form of Homura moved carefully padding through the
snow towards Aska. Her steps were light, not necessarily
tentative, she was just tired. She approached the woman, the
weight of the conversation written across her face, even in her
dragon from. She sat infront of the kneeling woman and nodded
her head softly. Words themselves not coming from the little
dragon, as her mind sorted through Aska's and Ren's words, but
the nod was clear. Time away where she couldn't be found, where
she could sort through the thoughts in her head, was needed.
Aska's offer was a welcome option for her.

In what would be the easiest way for Homura's current form, Aska
simply reached over and plucked the little dragon up. The
priestess is warm in her kimono, the silk of it smooth and well
cared for. Both woman and dragon disappear in a flash and swirl
of light.
