You don't feel me here.. anymore..

-"Broken" by Seether featuring Amy Lee

The bushes rustled next to the forgotten child, who lay sleeping on the ground. Black hair lay in masses around her, and pale hands lay across her side, resting in the short grass. The bushes rustled again before a boy stepped out.

He was tall, with short black hair, two chunks of hair left down in front of his ears. Cold brown eyes surveyed the scene. Twin swords were strapped across his back and a kunai pouch was bound around his left thigh.

A green jacket covered his white shirt, and black shorts donned his legs. Curious, he bent down and looked at the girl. Her eyes opened. Blue-green eyes met brown. She blinked and sat up. "Who are you...?"

"You first."

"I asked first. Let me guess.. Your name is.. Jin."

"No, it's Kyo."

She smiled, and his eyes widened as he realized his mistake. "Clever. So what's your name, little girl?"

She glared. "Ayame, and why are you calling me a little girl? You don't look too much older."

"Stand up."

She complied, and when she stood she realized what he meant and glared at him, reciting a smirk. He was nearly a foot taller than she was. Of course, she was already small by means of her being all skin and bones. She frowned and looked down.

"Where are you headed?" he asked suddenly.

"Why?"

He groaned. "Just tell me."

"Where are you from?"

"..." He didn't answer and looked at the ground. ".. Tell me where you're from first!"

"I don't know.." she said.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"I don't know! I was sucked into a mirror and appeared here!"

He raised an eyebrow. "And you expect me to believe this why?"

She gave a huge sigh. "I don't expect you to believe that. That's what happened, it's your choice if you want to believe it or not."

"Fine."

"You believe me?"

"I guess.."

Ayame smiled. "Where do you live?"

"..I, um, don't."

"You don't?"

"I don't have a home."

Ayame looked down. "Sorry for asking."

"But I do know where there is a place to sleep and where to get food."

Ayame perked up. "Food?"

His eyes scanned her body. "You look as if you haven't eaten in days."

She looked down, and replied, more quietly, "I always look like this."

Kyo's eyes widened. "Oh.. I mean, I'm - "

"It's fine."

"Come with me. I know where you can get food." He paused. "Are you able to run? I mean, after you came out of the mirror and all."

"I'm fine." She said, still looking at the ground.

Ayame closed her eyes and turned her head away from him. `Why is it.. Why do I have to look like this?' She exhaled. `I won't be able to marry, and no one will find me attractive since I probably can't have kids.' Ayame squeezed her eyes shut, determined not to cry in front of Kyo. `I just wish..'

"Let's go." She said, turning her face back up.

If he could see that she was about to cry, he gave no indication. "Alright. It's this way."

"Itachi-kun, you mean she's.." Kit stopped, not wanting to utter the word, afraid that it might really be true. "..dead?"

"I'm sorry, kobito." Itachi replied, his face going blank again.

Kit turned around in his arms. Her normally cheery dark green eyes were brimmed with tears. "How.. did this happen?"

"I don't know. It's.. strange, how her energy was here full force, and now it's.. just.. gone.."

Kit rested her back against Itachi's chest, and she felt his warm breath on her neck, and then soft lips silently caressing it. She bowed her head, and let the tears fall. Itachi just held her; that was all he could do, although even he couldn't stop the lone tear rolling down his cheek. For once, he couldn't do anything. Ayame was gone, and he felt.. Empty.

AN: Yeh, I hate it when people use Japanese in their story. But, Kit-chan doesn't really sound right, so Itachi's little name for Kit will be kobito, which means lover/darling in Japanese.

**EDIT**

Sorry for the re-post, something screwed up and the rest of the AN didn't get posted..?
