Short. Bitter. And seemingly
pointless. Enjoy.

Shido
fell to his knees in the empty room, the sword dissolving to become a stain on
the carpet as it left his limp hand. He’d known the day would come when Riho
would leave him. Nothing lasted forever. But to leave him for Cain . . . It
couldn’t be.
Yet he knew it as truth. He’d felt
her there in Cain’s memories, as real as if they’d been his own. There had been
nothing of duress in her either, no forcefulness on Cain’s part – she had gone
willingly. He could not begin to contemplate the pleasure he’d seen in her
face.
He bowed his head and rose to his
feet. His face had regained its usual stoic composure. He slid his hands into
his pockets and returned upstairs. As he passed Satsuna’s apartment on the
third floor, the fully-healed vampire glanced up from the TV and saw him.
“Hey, Shido!”
He jumped up and followed the older vampire down the hall. “Man, good thing you’re
back. Weird stuff’s been happenin’ while you were
away. You heard about Izawa?”
Shido nodded, but didn’t look up.
“Sucks, huh?” ‘Suna
followed him into his apartment. “He was kinda’
cool. Heh – for a human.
“Hey, I bet Riho’s glad you’re
back! Where is she, anyhow? I haven’t seen her since yesterday morning – just
before they released me from the holding cells down there. Heh.
“Oh! You hear about what happened
to Riho’s friend, Mikao? … Shido?” Shido had stopped
mid-stride next to the sofa.
He picked up the lacey white
garment lying over the back of the sofa with a visibly trembling hand and just
stared at it for a moment. Then he slowly sat down on the sofa and rested his
forehead on his clasped hands.
“Shido?
You okay, man?” ‘Suna looked around confused. “Where is Riho? . . . Shouldn’t she be hanging all over you about now?”
There was a long silent pause.
“She’s gone.”
‘Suna almost didn’t catch the
utterance. “W-what? . . . Dude, you’re starting a’
freak me out. I thought u just said – ”
Shido cut him off. “She’s gone and
she’s not coming back.” He buried his face in the fabric of the dress. “Go
away.”
Satsuna went away.

I’m not just torturing Shido, there IS
meaning in there. U'll see. Just stick around ...
