A/N: I'm sorry its so sad. I wrote in like 10 minutes, so it's obviously where my muse needed to go, with all the waff I've been writing lately, it must have needed a change of pace.

It was all a surprise, not his design…

Her… coming into his life so suddenly.

The feeling of protectiveness that came over him if even the mere suggestion of danger threatened her well being.

The feelings that began to develop as he watched her grow, under the tutelage of the two mikos, changing her from a wild thing, a weed in a field, to a beautiful blossom, cultivated with the care he knew he'd have been unable to provide during those stages of her life.

The fact that she'd returned his feelings…and returned to him.

Kami-sama… If only she'd rejected him, he could have been done with her.

Heartbroken for sure, but nothing like this feeling, now.

But no.

She'd loved him in return.

Earlier today she'd…

Left him…

So unexpectedly, (the miko had called it a 'heart attack'), he had - for the first time in almost 54 years- felt the sadness and fear.

The sadness that he would never again see her smile, hear her laugh, feel her caress against his cheek; her mouth against his, the warmth of her body's embrace as he sunk into her…

The fear of not knowing how to carry on without her.

What would he do now?

"Chichi-ue?"

His daughter, (another unexpected surprise the girl had brought to him), entered his chamber.

"What is it?"

"Aisheteru, daddy…" her arms wrapped around him, and then he felt something else unexpected. The last surprise she'd ever give him…

His own tears on his cheek.
