You know this day
would’ve come sooner or later she mumbled to herself, lying on her death bed.
She can only wait for that last breath to finally end as her beloved stays by
her side. Liquid starts to pour down her arms. She looks into his eyes seeing a
reflection of her crimson eyes within them. Her breathing becomes weaker with
each passing moment. “Sayomi I love you with all that I have. I know we don’t have
much time left. Even though I am still young you will be the only girl that has
my heart. I will see you again. I promise.” He says with passion and sorrow in
his voice. Yoshiyuki firmly holds her hand while staring into her crimson eyes.
Tears start to fall faster as he passionately
stares into her eyes. “Remember the first time we met? I was so scared of you I
thought you were the devil. Your crimson eyes were scary at first but now I cannot
live without them” He chuckled. Through her weakened state she manages to
produce a slight smile. “I can remember it like it was yesterday. You were
sitting alone crying in the darkened night underneath the dim lights of the
park. You raised your head and all I could see was those glowing crimson eyes.
I jumped back rudely but as you started to run away I chased you into the dark.
And I am glad every day that I chased you. There is no one greater than you.”
Sayomi stares in his eyes even
though she is weakened she tries to speak. Even though she is about to die, his
eyes show greater pain. “Yoshiyuki give up on me. I was happy enough to have
you love me till the very end. But don’t spend the rest of your life alone. I
love you and that’s why when I am gone move on and forget me.” Those words
pained him like a thousand knives piercing through a soul. He clenches her
hands. It’s as if he’s afraid she will disappear. He sighs with disappointment.
“You care too much sometimes. And this time I am not going to let you down.
Spending one hundred years without you is just a pebble in the road for the
eternity I will be with you. I said it before no one could replace you.” Tears
that had been falling had come to a trickle. He runs his fingers down her face
wiping the tears from her face.
“Remember the time when I chased
you in the rain through the town. You can be stubborn sometimes. I am sure we
will have much more “memorable” memories. You looked so stunning with your hair
soaked in the rain. Your eyes glowed in the little moonlight that shined
through. I was so worried about you and in the end I was the one that collapsed”
Yoshiyuki laughed remembering the fun times they shared together. Sayomi
chuckled within her coughs and labored breathing. Her eyes becomes smaller and
smaller. Yoshiyuki calls out to her in concern. But all that answers his calls
is a silent room. He closes his eyes to prevent the tears from flowing out. But
it the flow just keeps pouring out. Rest in peace my love he tells her in a
solemn voice.
In his surprise tiny arms wrap
itself around his legs. “What are you doing here Saiyuki? Where are grandpa and
grandma?” He asks Saiyuki trying to hide her sadness. Saiyuki turns his
attention toward his mom. She jumps on the bed where Sayomi lies. “Mommy?
Mommy? Daddy why wont mommy wake up?” She asks with confusion. Yoshiyuki can’t
hold his tears in any longer, like a damn break it all just flows out. “Mommy
is in a better place. Even if it seems hard she wants us to be happy. One day
we will see mommy again I promise. We will get through this together.” He picks
up Saiyuki trying to comfort her, though her cry tears his heart apart.
