Am I Really Alone? Chapter Three

1

This is just another lie, it has to be. No one loves me, no one. How could Midoriiro of all people actually care? It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. This is just another game, another plot to destroy my very existence. How could it not be? No one would care if I just disappeared. 2

In fact, that’s what I should do, just disappear. Pick up and go; it’s not like Midoriiro would worry. Or maybe I should stay, try and focus on the future and not look back on my haunting past, when my parents ruled my life: toying with me as they pleased. 3

Maybe… maybe someone could love me, and maybe that someone is Midoriiro. I guess we’ll never know unless I give it a chance, huh? Maybe I should stay. Yeah, I will…4

Aiyana lay, wrapped in Midoriiro’s arms, her head resting on his chest. What had brought them together? Was it their horrible pasts; both filled with tradgedy and despair? Or was it… something more? Were they destined to be?  Or was it... her connection to Kira?5

She’s beautiful, Aiyana is. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize how much I truly cared. If… if only she knew…6

Midoriiro sighed; keeping a secret from someone you loved was hard. 7

I'll have to tell her sometime.  I can't keep it a secret forever.  But how will I tell her?  I can't.. just go up to her and say it..  Damn it, what am I going to do?8

He gently pushed Aiyana from his arms and left the bed, retreating to the porch to think more.9

The wind blew; a cool breeze flirted with Midoriiro's black hair.  I guess I'll tell her now...10

11

"I'm the what?!" Aiyana shouted, her violet eyes wide.12

"You're the reincarnation of my former love, Kira," He spoke, whispering Kira's name.13

"But how could I be her reincarnation?  I mean, you're not that old.."14

"See, that is where you're wrong.  Right now, you're in the past.  Now, I am only seventeen, but if I was to stay in your time, I'd be over 100."15

"Nani?!"16

"Hai.  When I visited you in the park, I was merely watching you, checking up on you, giving you a sign.  When your mother shot you a while back, I had saved you, and brought you back to my time with me.  Kira actually died 85 years ago - if we were in your time - when we were both fifteen.  It's been two long years since I've seen her, that day when they killed her.."  He spoke quietly, he was finally revealing his past after all this time.17

"Why did they kill her?" She asked, touching his shoulder.18

"Because of who I was.  I was Midoriiro Metsuki, an assassin.  I was born and trained to kill.  And I did.  I killed everyone who dared get in my way.  Slaughtered them, made them unrecognizable.  No one knew that it was me doing the killing.  No one but.. them.  Those men, the ones that killed Kira..Their secret organization, the SRJG, was my enemy.  19

They sent men after me, but their men never succeeded, and were always murdered by your's truly..  I don't know why I didn't die the night of the ambush, the night when Kira died.  Why did she have to die?  Why couldn't I die?  But, if she hadn't died, you'd never have been born..  And without you I don't know what I'd do.  I do love you, Aiyana.  20

And it's not because of you being the reincarnation of my past lover, it's because you're you." He brought his lips to hers, lightly kissing her.21

She gasped into his kiss, but returned it graciously, making it deeper, more passionate.  He entered his tongue into her mouth, and flirted with her's, his tongue making it's way all around her mouth.22

She moaned, running her hands through his hair, as the kiss got deeper.23

He slowly pulled her shirt off, and threw it to the floor.  She gasped, and brought her hands up to cover her white bra, but he put her hands back down.24

"It's okay," He whispered, as he unhooked the back of her bra, throwing it to the floor as well, exposing her full breasts.  He brought his face down, suckling her nipple, and massaging her other with his hand.  25

"Midoriiro.. Are you sure it's alright?" 26

"Shh.." He kissed her lips.27

"Midoriiro, I can't.."28

"You can."29

He slipped her pants and panties off, leaving her standing naked before him.  30

Aiyana sighed, and walked away.  "I said,  I can't."31

"Aiyana.."32

"I'm sorry," She covered herself up with a blanket from the bed and left the room.33

"Damn it," Midoriiro cursed, "I went too fast.  She'll never care about me now."34
