Heavy, Non-Existent Heart

Raiu had to mention where she wanted to be. "You remember... my mother's grave? Where we went that one time? I want you to... set up a stone for me... right next to her. I want you to take care of it as well." She screamed a little pain as her heart started to appear out of her body. She looked at him and wiped away his tears. "You know... this is the first time... since we first met... that you shed tears for me... when I was always the one shedding them."

 

Saix nodded. "i'll always love you... and i'll never forget you... and i promise... i'll take care of your friend..."

 

Raiu nodded with a smile on her face. "I know my friend... will be happy... with you. Who knows... if you end up loving her too... then that's fine. But if you do, love her... the same way you love me..." She leaned up slowly to kiss him for real this time. He was the one doing it to her before, but now it was her turn.

 

Saix wiped more tears away. "i could never love anyone the way i love you." he leaned closer to her.
OOC- i gtg. i'll be back soon.

 

Raiu broke the kiss btween the two of them. "I know you can't... I can't either... but please at least... take care of my friend." Raiu felt the last of her heart being pulled out of her. She had little time left. "I can't stop it... my heart... it needs to go."

 

Saix looked over at Xemnas, who was slowly getting up. "...i'll finish him off for you..." Saix gently placed Raiu on the ground and stood up.

 

Raiu was breathing heavily, trying to stay alive until the last minute. She didn't have much time and she needed to leave soon.

 

Saix walked to Xemnas. there was a sickening 'shuck' sound... then Saix came back. "done." he kissed her on the lips.

 

"I thought... I told you that... killing would get you nowhere. Do not... be sad because... of my sacrifice... to save you." There was only a few seconds left before she had to leave forever. This was it... her final journey to peace.

 

Saix hugged her. "i'll miss you...." he looked at the spot Xemnas once was. he had already faded. "i'm happy to know you'll be watching me.... but sad you have to go..."

 

Raiu nodded with a smile. "Take care of Sonata... watch over her... and make sure... you place me next to my mother... on the hill."

 

Saix nodded. "i'll try to find a stone as beautiful as you... i know i won't succeed... nothing in existance is as beautiful as you...."

 

"Looks like... I'm getting to... the stars first... right? Thank you... for all... you have done for me..." Raiu's heart was pulled out of her body and it floated away, hopefully where it was supposed to be. Her body soon started to fade itself and the last look on her face was a smile and eyes closed. But when her body faded, the last remains took the shape of a red butterfly and it flew to his hand sitting there for a second before it flew away to the sky. The last words were heard in the air, loud enough for Saix to hear it...

Didn't you promise me to go to the stars... I will be waiting for you... forever.

 

Saix closed his eyes. he made a portal into Raiu's house. he stepped inside it and saw Sonata. "i have some bad news."

 

Sonata turned to see him and smiled at him. "I already know... I could feel her as she passed. It's not your fault... I heard that in my mind. While I will miss Raiu deeply, I am also happy because... she is now at peace."

 

Saix nodded. "i made two promises to her. one involves you... i promised to protect and look after you... two... i am going to find a stone... and put her next to her mother on the hill..."

 

"That sounds like a good idea... if we set up a stone for her, I'm sure she'll be happy." Sonata ran out of Raiu's house and started to walk toward the mountain path, with Saix right beside her. "You know, when we were friends, Raiu talked about you all the time." She turned to him with her hair blowing. "She felt bad about what happened two years ago, felt like it was her fault."

((here's Sonata: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee294/KATSUiscute/normal_dark_heart.jpg... imagine her a little taller and without the feathery background))

 

Saix followed. he stopped when he saw a beautiful stone. "there. let's use that." he pointed at it.

 

Sonata saw the stone and thought it was beautiful herself. "Good idea." She touched the stone, which had moss and blue wildflowers all over it. "Blue wildflowers... she told me that her mother loved these, as well as she did."

 

Saix nodded. "it may not be as beautiful as her... but that's probably as good as it will get."
