The events of the past few weeks had been...Trouble some to say the very least. One of his brother's in arms, taken down by a flurry of bullets. He now lay motionless in a hospital in a comatose state. His significant other subjected to the same horror yet coming out of the ordeal almost unscathed for the most part. Thank the creator. Yet...His second brother in arms who had become a casualty of this seemingly brewing "war" of sorts...Mr. Gunns...He...Well...He wasn't as fortunate as Mr. Taylor sad to say. They had lost one of their best and most loyal. Mere feet in front of him as he watched on helpless to it all it seems...The scene played through his thoughts over...And over once again as he roamed the corridors of the nearly abandoned Angel Towers...With each turn and with each changing of floors, his mind began to ponder more and more on just whom had become so very bold as to wage war...Against them...
The facial expression of the man who would be King was something never before seen as he turned a corner of one corridor in particular...His footsteps halting suddenly as he realized...Just...Where he was. For a split second he thought of changing his route during this walk of his but...Quickly decided against it and seconds later...He continued towards the end of the corridor with a slow pace...
His steps were slow and methodical, his vision as wide eyed as he could possibly be...He had walked these precise same steps many...Many times before...It brought back many memories of...Past days as well as nights...And then he saw it...He saw that...Number...
Stopping slowly, his arm arose slowly, as seconds later he removed the lightly tinted glasses from upon his face, lowering them to his side as his opposite hand made it's way to the gold plated number in front of him embedded into the door...His hand gently seemed to caress, inspect the number even for a few seconds...His mind no doubt running a hundred miles an hour...
A few somber moments passed before a trace of a genuine smile began to form at the corners of his lips...A slight head nod towards the door before placing a single knock...Dead center...
His opposite hand slowly slid from the gold plated number, falling lifelessly to his side once more...He slowly backed away, his eyes never leaving sight of the door in question...By now the thoughts were constant and ever flowing through his thought process...He wondered...Pondered just how things could have...
He quickly shook the thought off, releasing a deep sigh before only seconds later, returning the dark shades to his brow...Another slight head nod ensued, as if...Paying respects of some sort. And just as quickly as he had came upon the door, his footsteps began to carry him away from it once more...Continuing on his journey, yet with newly found material to think over during this time of reflection it seemed...

A snap was heard. The dead bolt of that said door began to open. The hinges creaked as the door opened only enough to hold a body. A figure known to many, but forgot by almost all. Flowing chocolate hair dangled past her shoulders. Deep brown eyes scanned the back of the man who had now almost frozen in his steps. Was this what he would have expected? This wasn't what she had expected. The room was suppose to have been abandoned. But why now was someone in it? Her smooth figure and voluptuous curves held a beautiful white Sunday dress. Almost fit...for a wedding. Her lips curved upward into a smile with the closing of her eyes. This was a moment well waited for. Something she had dreamt about, but never thought it would happen so soon.
You rang Cross? [/size]

...He stopped dead in his tracks instantly...His ears catching wind of...Something...A voice that couldn't possibly be...Speaking to him...He stood motionless, his mouth agape as he remained locked in turmoil in the center of the corridor...An almost ice cold sweat came over his person as he momentarily began to move his body in a manner that suggested turning back to lay eyes upon...Yet again something he knew could not...Actually be there...
Stopping his motions midway, his eyes were quickly diverted back towards his original path of passage...A hard swallow ensued, as he made an attempt to continue his trek...Yet he could not do so...He was frozen...Unable to move a single inch...His breathing slowly increased in speed before finally...Finally...Turning his head just enough to...Make eye contact...With...Her?...His eyes slowly widened even more so...No words left his mouth as he once again removed the dark shades from his brow...A hallucination...Yes...It had to be just that...There was no other explaination for such an occurence...Yet he remained glued to the very spot he stood in...Unable to form the first word from his lips...She was as beautiful as the final time he had laid eyes upon her...This...This just couldn't be...Real?

She smiled, as always when she laid eyes on Cross. He was a sight to behold. Something she had been needing to see for some time now. She took a few steps to-wards him, not wanting to alarm him. The look of shock on his face was evident. She was more worried the man might pass out. She stood no more then fifteen feet from him. The smile still clearly on her face. Her dress came down to her ankles making her steps small, giving Cross more time to soak it all in. This was real. It really was happening. She stood here now, before him. She took in a deep breath and released it on a sigh. Letting her cool breath faintly reach him.
Didn't you miss me?
Once again her lips curved into that smile, she couldn't help but make around him. The man she had given it all up for...literally. The man she had loved more then any other. The man who never seemed to openly love her back...

His eyes flickered slightly...Feeling the light breeze from her exhaled sigh only seconds ago...By this time his breathing had reached erratic speeds almost, still remaining completely motionless as his gaze remained...Locked intensely with hers...He almost wanted to extend his hand...To lay it upon her cheek once more...To possibly relive past days...
He struggled to form a response...Struggled to contain his clearly understandable barrage of emotions he now could feel almost thrashing about inside of him as he stood before...Her...After what seemed like an eternity...His lips parted slightly...His arm raising in a slow manner as his hand slowly moved towards her cheek...Responding...
But...B...But...How...?

She took a few steps closer to him, her white heels clicking on the floor below them. it was silent. Stepping to stand directly in front of him. She place her hand over his. Bringing it to her cheek and nuzzling against it. She had longed to feel his touch. To feel the warmth of his hands and his body. She had longed for him.
Don't ask how Cross...just know I am here.
Her smiled crossed her face again as her lips tenderly placed themselves upon his palm. before she let go of his hand.
Is it really so hard to believe?

Her words registered immediately with his hearing...Indeed it was...He had received word that she was no longer among the living...Removed from the world of the living by a final act of...He didn't even want to ponder the thought of it. It was something he had yet to deal with in actuality. Perhaps choosing to force himself to ignore the very thought of it in hopes of shielding himself from those emotions only she and he knew he guarded with the utmost urgency...He almost shivered at the slightest touch of her nuzzling against his hand, his eyes the entire time locked onto hers as flashback after flashback begin to play in his thoughts...It was as if a miracle was truly before him...
Actually...Ye...Yes it is...They said you were...I mean...Reports stated that you...Were...Gone...How and...Wh...Where have you been...? I'm...I'm completely lost here...

In truth...I was. My heart died when you left me for her...again. I gave you my all Cross, I let down my shield for you...the barrier i kept tightly around my heart...I opened it and let you in. So in a sense, I was dead.
She took and step foward and hugged him. Holding him tightly she put her head against his chest like she use to. Like old times. Like how things use to be. How things should be.
I've missed you Cross...So much...
Again she squeezed him as a single silvery tear rolled down her cheek. Arms still around his waist she looked up at him. Red eyed and on the verge of more tears. Didn't he miss her at all? Maybe this was to much for him to bare...

He slowly returned the embrace...Still in disbelief even though he could see as well as lay his hands upon the woman whom he once called his own...He was once again, for the hundredth time it seems...Speechless hearing her words...She was right...She had given her all...Her mind...Body...As well as her soul to him...And he had done what he had successfully done time...And time again... He knew her words to be true, though his embrace only increased around her person, as at that very moment...His very own eyes seemingly began to...Well up, on the verge of forming...Tears...Confusion...Joy...Fear in it's purest form...Indecisiveness...Those among a thousand other emotions and feelings continued to flow through his mind and heart at that very moment as he gazed down into her eyes...Still not 100% sure this was reality...Or some cruel nightmare he was being subjected to...Without even thinking...And before he himself could even realize his words, he replied in a low audible tone mere seconds before...A single tear found it's way down his cheek itself...
I...I missed you...More...Than you'll ever know...

A look of shock came across her face. What was this? Humanity? Coming from Cross? A tear...a single tear, finally...after all her work, finally he let down his shell. It seemed as if he was letting her in. She grasped him tightly. Once again wishing for the moment not to end, like she had so many times before. This was real.
Lets do something Cross, lets go somewhere...Or are you still with that tramp?
She looked away from her as the thoughts of him with her stung...to her very core. Every time she saw the pictures she died a little more. Every time she read about it she died a little more...

Now...Now he began to believe this was in fact...Real...The mere mention of Destiny in such a manner convinced him more than her words ever could... A smile crept onto his face as he responded to her, his thoughts not even remotely concerned about the single tear that had made it's way down his own cheek....
I'm...I'm afraid so...I...
He was at a loss of words once again. He really didn't know what he could say to her at this point in time. He knew how much the subject hurt her and how much pain he himself had inflicted upon her. At this moment in time...And as much as he seemingly longed to accept her request...He knew he deserved no such thing with the beautiful creature before him...

She dropped her arms from around him. Letting out a sigh she shook her head. Of course...to good to be true. Everything was always to good to be true. It seemed Cross felt no remorse. He missed her... but then again what man like him didn't miss a piece of ass? She took a few steps back from him. Clearly hurt, and clearly in emotional distress. It was a mistake to have open the door. She should have remained hidden. Once again she looked to the floor letting another silvery tear escape and make the journey down her face and onto the carpeted hallway floor below. Why could she never win?

He immediately noticed the hurt in her eyes...How her face literally dropped as he could almost watch the tear on it's slow trek towards the carpet beneath...A sudden feeling of urgency overcame his person, stepping in her direction, one arm extended as he gently grabbed ahold of her arm...Slowly attempting to pull her back into his grasps as his words dialog began once more...
Wa...Wait...Don't go...At least...Not so soon I mean...
But his words were cut off instantly, her sweet and oh so angelic voice chiming in with....

Not so soon? What...you want to keep me around to hold you attention till your concubine gets done with her daily rounds? I don't think so Cross. I thought maybe while I was gone you would have wised up. Learnt something. But I guess that shell is still as thick as ever...
A few more tears streamed down her face. She wasn't worth it to him. She was just a piece of meat. A good ride he missed only when he was lonely. She made another mistake...she just couldn't break the habit it seemed.

NO! wait...
His voice almost contained panic as he pulled her to him once again, not wanting to let go of her. Not wanting to let go of this moment in time. It was indeed a miracle in his eyes that she stood here before him and he only wished to lay eyes upon her a few more moments...
...Please just...Just a few more moments...What...What could it hurt for us just to...Talk or...
His words faded slowly, the look in his eye suggested almost a pleading nature. Something not commonly known nor expected from His Majesty at all...

What does it matter to you Cross? A few more moments or never again. Your still going to go back to her, and leave me here...alone and for dead. You don't understand how long I've been waiting for this moment, how many times I've ran this very moment through my head. And never...never did I picture it coming out that I wished I really had died...Just go Cross. It was a mistake for me to come out here...
She pulled herself away from him and back pedaled a few steps. Her eyes stung from the tears, why could she never win? Was there really a god? Did he just hate her so much that he wouldn't let her die? Did this so called god want her to suffer? To live a life in pain? What was the meaning? What was the point of any of it...the one thing she wanted. She couldn't have...

Once again he instantly motioned to reach out to her...Almost stumbling as he did so. A lightheaded feeling came over his entire person as he struggled to speak a single word...
I...I...No don't...
He was almost choking it seemed as his hand found it's way to his throat, clasping around it as a hard cough escaped his lips. What was coming over him? What was having such an effect on him at such a time as this... He needed her to stay with him...If only for a few more moments... He... His vision began to blur slightly, as he his steps carried him even closer to the very spot where she stood. Immediately his arm extending and supporting his weight as he continuously fought to keep her within his focus as well as his arm reach...

Why Cross why!! Tell me why!
She moved over to him, and held him up some what, weather he was actually becoming weak or just playing to her never ending care for him, she'd never know. But she did know, that either she needed to go for good, for that slutty dog needed to go. she let out a sigh as she awaited his reply. She deserved one. Why on earth did he still want her around despite the pain he knew he was causing her.

His steps continued towards her. Each step a struggle to maintain his current path and balance...She seemed to be only inches away from him but yet so far away at the same time...His arm extending again towards her just as his words came...Slow and broken into dialog most likely not even able to be understood in his current state of...Delirium?...
Day...Wa...Wait one...One...I...I lo...
Suddenly his knees became extremely weak beneath him, seconds later finding himself supported by one knee atop of the carpet beneath him...His breathing had increased steadily throughout the entire ordeal it seemed...Now having reached perhaps a dangerous level. He couldn't understand what was happening to him, as only seconds later he had pushed with enough force to find himself halfway reaching a upright stance once more...His eyes locked onto hers with that same intense and pleading look...

She dropped down to one knee next to him. Supporting him almost. Her heart remembering the same pain she felt before. The pain she tried to kill...the pain she had needed to kill. Now it was surfacing. Everything was coming back.
What Cross...? Tell me?
