Making You Mine

Tears of Hatred

"You...tch!" [Name] ran straight towards Izuna and Misaki, her blood boiling with fury and her adrenaline flowing through her body. Effortlessly, [Name] shoved Misaki aside and sent her flying across the floor. Before she could throw a kunai at Misaki, Izuna caught her by wrist and held on to it tightly.

"Let me go, Izuna! Don't touch me with your filthy hands!" she shouted as she tried to pull her wrist away from him.

"[Name] please calm down, I can explain-"

"No! There's no need for an explanation! I saw and heard everything! Misaki doesn't deserve to live, and I don't deserve to be treated like this!"

"[Name], you're not listening to me! I know you're upset but-"

"You bastard, I refuse to listen to a liar like you! How could you betray me like this?!" cried [Name] with angry tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Tch...it's not what you think!" he retorted.

Misaki tugged her kimono sleeve back to her shoulders and pretended to be scared of [Name] but she was quietly grinning with success. It was all out of sheer luck and perfect timing that [Name] walked in on her secret plot. 

"What am I supposed to think after everything that I have witnessed?! I can't even trust you anymore!" [Name] yelled out as she bitterly jerked her wrist away from him.

Out of desperation, Izuna panicked and reached out to [Name] once more, drawing her into a deep kiss. Misaki's jaw dropped and [Name]'s eyes were wide open. There wasn't the familiar warmth of love from the kiss. It felt plain and dull. Feeling disgusted by the kiss, [Name] quickly pulled away from it and raised her right hand into the air. In a blink of an eye, she slapped Izuna harshly across his cheek, leaving a visible and bright red hand mark.

"You're the worst of the worst, Izuna! I can't believe I fell in love with someone like you! After everything that we have been through, you tossed it all away as if it was nothing! I never want to talk to you again! I...I really hate you!" she declared as she hastily threw her silver bracelet at him and  turned on the heels of her feet to run away from the scene.

Izuna's heart sunk with heaviness and it ached with pain after he caught the bracelet. He never wanted to hear those dreadful words from his beloved wife, ever. 

Before he could chase after her, Misaki caught him by his shirt sleeve and looked at him cheerfully. "Don't go after her, she is not worth your time. I, on the other hand, can do so much better as your wife."

"Misaki, what are you talking about? This isn't a time to joke around!" he scolded.

"I'm not joking, I'm serious. I have always loved you more than anyone else. You are my everything, Izuna-sama. I promise to make you happy forever." she said as she wrapped her arms around him.

Izuna cringed at this and shook his head. He pried her arms off of him and clasped both of his hands on her shoulders, staring at her light grey eyes with his Sharingan.

"My eternal happiness is only with [Name]. She is the definition of everything that I want in a woman. I've worked so hard to make her mine, and I know for a fact that I will never be able to let her go. Sorry Misaki, but I have never seen you as a lover. You will always be my cousin, nothing more or less. If anything, I love [Name] more than anyone else in this world." he stated before running out the door to chase after [Name].

Misaki slowly sank to her knees and stood there in bewilderment. "And I thought that I was always the special girl in your heart..." she mused.

[Name] pushed past several of the maids down the hall and corridors, never looking back at their surprised faces. She didn't care where she was going, all she wanted to do was to go somewhere secluded.
