Hiding In a Lie
Keitaro was packing up his things, ready to vanish without a trace, save for a goodbye note. As he packs he recalls why he's leaving. He remembers what had finally snapped him. Earlier that evening was the last straw. Fury and guilt washes over him and manifests itself in the form of a single tear.
I've lied
to you
the same way that I always do...
As he continues his packing, other memories hit him. He remembers being slashed at, kicked, punched. conned, and worked to near exhaustion. Even now, his body felt fatigued
This is the last smile
that I'll fake for the sake of being with you..
What hurt him the most was that he loved these people with his heart and soul, and was even in love with one of them. As his thoughts stopped over this one person, he sobbed lightly, still not stopping his packing.
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown, eventually break down)
The one he was in love with hurt him the most, not physically, but emotionally. They all thought that due to his immortality that they weren't harming him, little did they know that he died a little inside with each strike.
(Everything has to end you'll soon find that we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
He couldn't take it anymore, he dropped the pillow he was holding and buried himself in his hands. He sobbed quietly, wary of making noise.
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie...
The sacrifice is never knowing
why I never walked away,
why I played myself this way,
now I see,
you're testing me,
pushes my away.
why I never walked away,

When he regained composure, he continued packing, not even bothering to stifle the tears anymore.
I've tried like you,
to do everything you wanted to.
He felt many things right now. Fury, for what they'd done to him. Guilt, for leaving them. Shame, for giving up. Regret, at the fact that Naru might have been his soul mate. And sadness culminating all the indescribable sorrow.
This is
the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
He packs up the last of his things, all adding up to two bags. He made sure that they left the note where they could find it, along with the papers giving the manager position to Naru.
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown, eventually break down.)
Keitaro takes his bags and makes his way out the door, trying to be very quiet. It helped that they we're all drunk from partying

He moves silently past the residents, covering the exposed with blankets. He safely makes his way out, not knowing that he had awoken one of the sleeping tenents, and that she silently followed him.
(We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds.)
The girl continued to follow him, stopping when he reached the stairs.

"Shinobu, don't come any closer"
The girl was shocked that Keitaro found her out
"S-sempai, where are you going?"
Keitaro turned and walked to her.
"Shinobu, I need you not to follow me. I'm leaving, please don't make this any harder"
The girl could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
"Wh-why, sempai?"
"I'm sorry Shinobu, I can't take it anymore. But please, don't use me as an example, follow your dreams, never lose hope"
"Sempai. you can't go..." Shinobu couldn't take it anymore, tears slid down her face
"Shinobu, don't cry, please let me go, don't make this any harder..."
She could only look, the tears feeling hot on her face, she was immobilized.
Keitaro moved closer to her, hugged her, and pulled away to give her a light kiss on the forehead.
"Goodbye Shinobu, and thank you. Please live a good life"
why I never walked away,
why I played myself this way,
now I see,
you're testing me,
pushes me away....
With those words, he left. Shinobu could only stare until he was out of sight. Then she fell to her knees and buried her face in her palms, sobbing heavily.....
