~Prologue~

Two years of pain, heartache, loss, suffer. It all led down to that when he had disappeared into the Iifa tree for Kuja. Kuja and only Kuja. But... she should feel happy that he had done what he usually did--think of others more then himself.

Tears of crystal fell. Fell in single file, fell in large droplets, fell with all the pain, heartache, loss and suffering that had gone on over the past two years.

Sometimes she would sit in her bedroom, sitting on her bed, her legs hugged tightly to her chest, hugging them for reassurance that was never going to be given. She would cry herself to sleep, she would throw things at her light rose walls and scream out harsh, cruel words at no one in particular.

Scream out harsh words at him in her mind. Screaming out that she's not forgiving him for leaving her, for having her live a lonely life for two years. Maybe it was time to end it all, to end all this suffering... this pain... this heartache that consumed her entire soul.

Garnet Til Alexandros the 17th slowly wiped at her eyes with the backs of her hands that were covered in fingerless deep green gloves. She blinked away the few last tears and then closed her eyes as she slowly slid off the bed to walk across the room to stand in front of her window.

Birds of white glided past the window, squaking loudly as she watched them silently, opening her eyes slowly. Garnet sighed heavily and then turned from the window to walk back across the room to sit on her bed. She closed her eyes again and then laid back on the light rose pillows, turning onto her side so she could hug them under her head.

Garnet absentmindedly lifted a hand and rubbed her stomach, feeling the slight reaction from the little life inside as it kicked at the inside of her womb. She felt tears brim her closed lids and she shook her head hard, muttering to herself that she wasn't going to cry anymore.

It was time to move on and completely forget about the handsome Genome that had stolen her heart and held it close to his own....

Author's Note: Alrighty then... this is my twenty-eighth fic... and you all don't have to worry. I'm still going to get the others done. *nods* Yes... I haven't ditched them yet, not at all... I just have to sort out my ideas at the moment. They keep pouring in one ear, but instead of leaving out the other, they pool around inside my head, making annoyed because I have to study for exams, which are coming this friday, and I have many other stories to complete.... But... this "prologue" isn't exactly a prologue. What it is, is it's something like a trial thing... it's still an if-if.

I was having thoughts about leaving this as a prologue for my newest story, but then... it was originally another tear-jerker short story of mine... but then I stopped to read it over and thought that I would leave it like this... *shrugs* Ah well... if you all like it, I'm happy and if you don't, then ah well... that's not my problem my fanfiction for Final Fantasy IX isn't meeting your standards...

*Waves* This will probably be a long story... another one, I know. But... until then, I'm at school, and I typed it up over here, so I'm going to go now since it's break and then fourth period...
