A Note ( Kevala )

[Katsuri Katashi]

The bigman had not been home in quite a while, and thus, the note that was now resting on the bed of their room should have came as no surprise. It was not handwritten though, so chances were that it could have not been his, but Kevala would not know that.

Dear Kevala,

First it sickens me that I will not be able to see my children but I have no choice in the matter. I am safe. Do no worry about me.. but I am afraid I must break our relationship off, for the sake of your safety and the best interests of our children.

Know that I love both you and them very much, and have left our home in your name as well as anything else I have. I am not sure when I will be back, if I will be back at all.

Please look after Drea and Mitsukai for me.. they may not seem like they need it sometimes.. but they are just children themselves. Grow strong, and as I said.. know that I love you but I need you to move on.

- Katsuri.

It had been left in the night, while the woman was sleeping to the point that nothing would have even left a trace of DNA in any place in the house. It was as if a ghost had delivered the message.

[Kevala Badoer]

Kevala woke to the sounds of one very unhappy little boy. A light groan slipping forth as she shifted about on the bed and stretched. Her arm hitting upon something and causing her to stop in her movements.

It was not hard to tell what it was from the feel. It was a piece of paper. But she had not gone to bed with her books and homework last night. She had been too tired to study. Her brow rose as her eyes opened slowly.

Perhaps one of the girls in the house had left her a note?

But that did not make sense. The door was locked.

Aiden's cries continued, leaving her torn between attending him and seeing what the paper was. But in the end their son came first. Getting up and hurrying into the nursery.

Soon enough she came back, her arms wrapped about Aiden as she rocked him softly. Her soft tone slipping forth in a very soothing and maternal manner.

"Shh...Mommy's here. Now handsome, lets see what somebody left for Mommy to read huh?"

Smiling down at their son as she moved back to the bed, laying him down in the center of such and then crawling up to sit beside him as she reached out and grabbed up the paper.

It was a note, and the instant her eyes met with the words, her heart seemed to stop. It was from Katsu. He was.....he was....

Her heart shattered...millions of pieces breaking over and over with each word she read. Tears filled those icy hues and spilled forth down her face. Her hands trembling heavily as she struggled to see through the tears to finish the letter.

A pain like she had never known consumed her. Her chest growing tight as she struggled to breath. Deep painful gasps taken as she finished the note left behind.

He had said he loved her. He had told her he wished this, wished to have children with her. He swore that he was happy. That she was his and he was hers.

Lies......they were all lies.......

How could she have been that stupid!?

He had meant none of it. He had turned his back on her and on their children. He did not even bother to tell her to her face..he had left a note...

A NOTE!

Did he even know that one of the girls had died. Did he even fucking care?

How could he do this to her?

Easy, she had really meant nothing to him. She had let herself believe in something that could never have been. Something she knew was impossible. Yet she had believed those words. Believed he loved her.

She cried out as the pain rocked her. Her head lowering as she held that note to her chest and cried. There were not fancy words, no sayings to describe her actions at that moment. No, she simply cried.

Part of her soul dying right then and there. She wanted to die, the pain was that bad. But as she sat there, her small form rocking back and forth slowly, the sound of a soft little coo would come from beside her.

Aiden.

She struggled to pull herself together as she looked at him. Anger creeping in as she did.

He had not just left her. He had abandoned Aiden and Kazumi. Just like his their father had done her.

She had believed him different. But now, she supposed that he was not very different at all.

Aiden looked just like Katsuri. Not that he would ever know. It killed her. Laying down she would wrap herself about Aiden and continue to cry. The tears seeming to have no end in sight.
