How irritating. Deimos was never the easy type but couldnโt he had taken the hint and leave her be? The options were given to him yet this pathetic fool still chose death for her sake?ย
Perhaps it was easier to sing praises NOW after Shako began to forgive this slime for his betrayal. But didnโt he know that the damage has already been done? That his fate has been sealed and that he should continue to forever walk this earth until his bones turn into the very dirt that slid underneath her feet?ย
That the last memory he should ever have will be his regret?
No, she will not humor him. Her emotions will remain stale and unnerving, unbound to whatever he had to offer. Turning her head away, her silence will be her only answer. Not that it will do any good, knowing how stubborn this trash can beโฆย
โฆNoโฆSilence was the only way now. There was a time she felt at ease with him, her lips pouring out true sentences rather than nonsensical remarks. Her secrets, her thoughts, her very soulโฆall given to him and him alone. No, she will not make the same mistake twiceโฆsheโฆ
โฆshe wonโt allow herself toโฆ
ย ย 'Damn....I guess she wants to see me suffer, huh?' What a sad, sad thought. He expected for the hanyou to strike him down, to torture him for his treachery. Was it too much for her to do? A bitter chuckle echoes his mind at such ridiculous thought as an image of his shadow entering his mind.ย
ย ย 'Of course,' chirp the shadow, 'She wants to see us suffer.' 'But..' A coal black ribbon coiled around his steady beating heart, squeezing the broken organ. 'But she wouldn't do that,' chuckled the shadow, 'What did you expect? Why would she take us back? Just because her brother forgave us doesn't mean she or her family will!' His shadow mirror Deimos, standing tall as its face looms a mere inch away from the real form. 'Face it, we'll continue to follow her until she dies from old age,' laughed the shadow. ย
"Tch." Deimos winced as his brows furrowed, heavy breathing contracting from his normal steady one.
ย ย ย His right hand reached inside his ragged kimono, reaching for the one thing that brought him peace and comfort. Ironic, the said item to bring him sanity was the last thing given to him from the woman he betrayed. Suddenly, as if magic, his was back to normal once his fingertips gently grip the paper.
ย ย Deimos carefully pulls out a worn-out origami bird. Years or carrying such delicate treasure hasn't been kind to the bird. It was an unhealthy yellow, it had creases and nicks, and yet, in his eyes, the bird was still beautiful. ย
ย ย ย 'All these years, and I still don't know what's inside.' A faint smile graced his thin lips as he glances up at the half-demon. His lively sapphire eyes hollowed out when he saw her ever-so-familiar back. 'Wait,' his shadow once again grip his heart. 'Don't turn away from me....one more second, just one more second to see your face.' The hybrid cock backs his right hand. 'Please, Fly!' Deimos toss the origami bird and watch all his hopes he poured into it fly above and beyond the hanyou and landed right in front of her.
ย ย With a deep breath, Deimos straighten out his posture and watch her next move.
"Didn't you want me to deliver that to you?" he asked with a thin smile.
