((A Crystal and Shigure fan fic. A bit sad...))
I rushed over to Shigure's house, anxious and excited to tell him the news.
I leaned against a tree and bent over, breathing heavily. Wow, since when has running been so hard?
I gasped a couple of time, caught my breath and continued to Shigure's house at a slower pace.
When I got to his house, he was waiting outside, leaning against the rail.
He smiled when I approached.
I gasped and sat down on the porch. Well, more like fell into a crumpled heap.
He bent down to were I was gasping and clutching my side.
"Crys, what's wrong?" He asked me concerned.
"I....I'm perfectly fine!" I gasped out. I smiled at him. He smiled back, though I could tell that he was concerned.
His eyes always gave him away.
I smiled again, then pulled myself up. He stood up with me.
"Guess....what!" I exlaimed, which ttook my breath away and a coughed a bit.
"What?" He asked, the grin still on his face.
"I quit." I said with an ever expanding grin.
"What?" He asked, confused.
"I quit. The pack. I mean. I'm perfectly normal now. Human. Like you." I said. His eyes widened to the point I was sure that they would fall out of his head.
"But...Jake..." He said, still not comprehending.
"Jacob promised that he would never take anyone's will away." I said.
When Bella got pregnant and Jake spilt from the pack, Seth and Leah followed him. A few days afterwards, I broke away from Sam's pack and joined Jacob's, where Jacob allowed me to see Shigure.
A year or so after that, Shigure's curse broke. I had been so happpy for Shigure.
But there still one problem. Shigure might have broken his curse, but I still bore my cross. I still had a duty to my new pack. I still was a 'werewolf' and I still had to fight the Volturi. Which, when I did, I was sure worried Shigure, even though he would never show it.
"You're not a werewolf anymore?" He asked.
I nodded and my grin turned into a wide smile.
He smiled too and then pulled me close and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around his body and we just held each other.
We pulled away and Shigure brushed my bronze toned cheek with the back up his hand. Then he pulled me closer and kissed me.
I thought that I was going to lose my breath again.
I kissed back, and he held me closer.
There was a gag and we both pulled relucantly away from our kiss and looked over at the smirking, orange haired boy.
"You two go somewhere else to do that!!" The eighteen year-old yelled at us. He was half-way teasing...
...I think.
I smirked at Kyo and grabbed a towel off the laundry line and threw it at Kyo, hitting him in the face. He pulled the towel off, and by that time Shigure was hugging me closely again.
"Teenagers...they ruin just about everything." He chuckled.
I laughed and nodded into his chest.
Wow, Shigure had never seemed this tall before.
"C'mon, let's not keep the good news to ourselves. Tohru will be thrilled." He said with another chuckle, then led me inside by the hand.
Half a year passed, and I soon found out that I was pregnant with Shigure's child. I was thrilled, he was thrilled. Tohru was thrilled, too.
God Bless that girl.
I was sitting on Shigure's gouch, one hand on my large stomach. Eating chocoalte icecream.
"Tohru, never get pregnant." I told the girl as she was passing by.
"Wha...?" She looked at me strangely.
"The cravings suck." I informed her before taking a bite out of my icecream.
"O-oh. I see." She said, the continued cleaning.
The phone rang, Tohru rushed over to answer it.
"Sohma residence...oh! Hello, Hatori-chan!" She said happily. I listened. My hearing wasn't as good as before. I guess you could say it was normal now.
Tohru let out an excited squeel. I jumped because that took me from surprise.
"I"m sorry Hatori! But that's just amazing! I'm so happy for you!" She was practicaly jumping up and down.
What could cause my little Tohru-chan to act this way?
Oh, lots of things.
"Would you like to speak to Shigure? Of course, I'll get him!" Tohru set the phone down on the table and rushed off to get Shigure.
Shigure was smiling when he picked up the phone.
"Haa-san! What could be so amazing, that you would call unexpectedly like this?" There was a pause.
"Congrats, Hatori!" Shigure said loudly, both boys poked there heads into the room and looked at me as if I knew something.
I just shrugged and continued to eat my icecream.
Ohh, goody goody icecream...
Shigure hung up and pranced over to me.
He threw his arms around me and touched my ever-growing belly.
"Guess what!" He said with a large smile.
"What?" I asked, with an equally large grin.
"Hatori and Kira are having a kid, too." He said.
"Really?!" I asked. "That's cool!" I said. We both laughed.
Hatori, Kira, and Shade came over for dinner that night. Kira was glowing, Shade, seemed happy, but less enthused.
No big surprise there.
Hatori seemed pretty Happy, too. Well, he was as happy as he could get. He was all smiley, which was a bit strange because I have never before seen Hatori smile like that, or for that long.
Actually, I had never seen him smile.
Ever.
I thought I saw a movent outside. I turned my head to the window and gasped.
A vampire, being chased by Sam and Jacob!
The wall splintered into a million different peices. I watched almost in slow motion as one came hurtling towards me.
Now it felt like everything sped up.
I could feel the large splinter of wood into my neck with a wet slick sound. I gasped and crumlped down the the ground. I grabbed the large, sharp peice of wood and pulled it out of my neck and threw it weakly aside. I wailed softly and held my bleeding neck. I gasped, the spat blood out of my mouth.
I was still on the ground, one hand to my neck, my fingers becomeing soaked with the blood, and the blood pouring out of my mouth and nose. I couldn't get rid of the coppery smell or taste as my blood, my life source, flowed out of my body.
After I watched the two large russet and black wolves fight off the vampire, I felt my eye lids flutter.
Shigure turned around, his eyes grew wide and he rushed over to me. He pulled me up, and I layed on him. I tried to say something, but it just came out a choked gurgle, I felt the blood bubble up in my throat, and I coughed, blood spewed all over the front of Shigure's clothes, but he didn't seem to mind.
He was saything something, I couldn't figure it out.
"Gomen Nasai." I studdered out. I was saying sorry for a number of reasons. I was sorry I hadn't been able to protect my baby, our baby. I was sorry that I quit the pack, because if I hadn't we'd all be safe right now, I'm sorry that I wsan't able to protect Shigure, or Tohru, or Kyo, Yuki, Jacob, Sam...
"No, no, no." Shigure said softly, tears flowing down his cheeks he bent down and held his face to mine. I could feel his warm, wet cheeks, and he whispered softly into my ear, I could feel his lips move against my skin as he talked to me.
"No...don't be sorry. Please don't be sorry..." He whispered to me. "You're going to be fine. Our baby is going to be fine..." He continued to talk to me. He stopped, he must have been crying too much too talk.
I heard a voice, it sounded distant.
"I can't help her, she's gone Shigure. I can't save her!" Hatori. It was Hatori.
Who couldn't he save?
The rest, was blurry. I was taken somewhere. Shigure talking to me the whole car ride there.
I was carried inside of a house. I saw a familar face...Carlisle...
Why was I at the Cullen house?
I let out a scream. I snapped back into reality. I screamed again and groaned.
"Shigure!!" I screeched. The pain...I felt like I was being burning alive from the inside out.
The pain only grew, and it lasted what felt like months.
When I awoke...everything seemed clearer.
It was a strange feeling. I gasped when I felt something warm press up against me, I turned over and hissed at the person.
Wait, I hissed?
I held the sheet over me to my body, seeing that I was completely naked.
"S-shigure!" I said. I saw his face. His gray eyes, his smokey black curls.
He had been crying.
His eyes were puffy and his cheeks were tear stained.
He looked up at me, the look on his face was heartbreaking.
He quickly wrapped his arms around me, his shoulders shook, he was crying again. I hugged him back. His face was burried into my shoulder, and I ran my hand through his curly black hair. He continued to cry, not aying anything. I had never, in my entire life, seen Shigure cry for this long.
I felt my heart break.
Wow, Shigure had always smelled good to me. But never like this.
He was musky...
"Shigure! Step away from her!" Came a voice from across the room, Shigure jumped back as if he was shocked by a cattle prod.
"What's wrong?" I asked. Dr. Carlisle came in with something in his hand.
A mirror?
"Crystal...this is going to be hard to accept. But when Hatori and Shigure brought you in bleed to death, there was no alternitive besides this..." He trailed off. He showed my the mirror.
Two red eyes stared back at me.
Two red eyes, on my face.
"NO!" I screeched and grabbed the mirror from his hands. I threw it, Shigure jumped back as it shattered into a million little peices on the wall.
"NO!" I screamed again. My eyes and the back of my throat became dry.
"What about my baby?" I asked through gritted teeth.
Carlisile looked sad. "I'm sorry, but we lose your child." He bowed his head in shame, then left.
I wailed again and Shigure rushed back over to me. he cradled my head and whispered soothing things to me.
I could tell that he was just as angry and sad and devestated as I was.
"Shigure, may I speak to you for a moment?" Came a soft voice. Shigure turned his head to see Rosalie standing in the door way. Shigure nodded, then kissed me on the cheek.
"I'll be back soon, promise." He said to me softly then left with Rosalie.
Rosalie led him outside, once they got there, she glared at him.
"What you did was terribly selfish." She spat out. Shigure flinched away form her cold tone. "Now, thanks to your egoism, Crystal is going to spend the rest of entirneity as a monster she was raised to hate. She will never again have children, she will watch you grow old and die while she remains young and beautiful. Congrats, you just made her life into a living h***." Rosalie hissed out at Shigure, her golden eyes angry at him
She walked off, leaving Shigure there.
He thought about what Rosalie had said. The he held his head in his hands and cried.
I rushed over to Shigure's house, anxious and excited to tell him the news.
I leaned against a tree and bent over, breathing heavily. Wow, since when has running been so hard?
