Pretend It's All Okayby MiraJade

Do you have any idea what it is like?

What it is like to stare into his lifeless eyes as he tries to end your life?

He is my baby brother, and I never believed him to be capable of this. He's possessed.A evil creature has control over his mind, his body and actions. He has no choice, but it still hurts. I never imagined that this could have happened.

But it is.

So I watch him kill. Mindlessly slaughtering others. He's a Taijiya. A slayer by birth, but he is supposed to fight to protect others, not stab them in the back. All at the prompting of some a mlicious shard.

Do you know what it is like?

What it is like to fight a being theat cannot be defeated?

He is a coward, a gross collection of mortal, and youkai blood.

Mortal?

That means he can be defeated right? No one is infallible, he has to have a weakness . . . Yet he has yet to be defeated. Our battle weary group trudges on.

I watch him as he comes to me. Our hanyou leader is asleep, and out Miko companion is talking softly with the young kitsune. I try to pretend that everything is normal.

It's getting harder to pretend.

The light from the dying fire reflects in his violet eyes, and I shoot him a warning glance as my hand goes for my weapon. He sees my warning, and puts his hands up slightly in surrender.

My eyes travel to the purple wrapping, and light blue prayer beads around his hand.

Do you know what it is like?

What it is like to see the man you love silently suffer? He will die, we all know that time is running out. Soon he will be consumed by the same vortex that killed his father and grandfather before him.

I won't be able to pretend when that happens.

He comes closer, and slowly sits down next to me. He keeps his hands up where I can see them, he knows that I am not in the mood for his lecherous ways.

Do you know what it is like?

What it is like to see the man you love flirt with every girl he passes. You are right there, and pay silent witness to wandering hands, and disgustingly soft feminine laughs.

I know that I am not as pretty as them.

I don't know what I want him to see in me? I am the last of the Taijiya. A exterminator. I am not a soft pampered woman. My hands are callused, and my eyes speak volumes of the horrors that I have seen. Still, I want him to love me so much.

His eyes shine in the dim light, and for once I see no lust, or mischievous gleam. I see only sypathy. He leans towards me, and I don't resist as he slips his arms around me. Actually it feels pretty nice. I can pretend for one night. I feel so safe, so cherished.

Do you know what it is like?

What it is like to have the man you love hold you close and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

It is perfect.

For a moment I can pretend, and I know that everything is going to be okay.

Okay, I know it was short, but I would really appreciate some reviews.
