Disclaimer: sadly I do not own any Rideback but if I did I would so put Rin and Kiefer together.

When you're not there,

I cry.

When you're not with me,

I lie.

When you disappear,

I sigh.

You turned your back,

when I needed you.

Your faith starts to lack,

when I need it too.

Where is all that tack,

when I need to renew.

When you're not there,

I cry.

When you're not with me,

I lie.

When you disappear,

I sigh.

Do you remember that night,

that you left for good?

Do you remember the sight,

of me where I stood?

Did you do it all to spite

me in that burnin' wood?

When you're not there,

I cry.

When you're not with me,

I lie.

When you disappear,

I sigh.

I almost jumped into that fire,

when you left me.

I almost went to the place that's higher,

grace that's godly

Those moments I walked a tight-wire,

I want to be.

When you're not there,

I cry.

When you're not with me,

I lie.

When you disappear,

I sigh.

When you're not there,

I cry.

When you're not with me,

I lie.

When you disappear,

I sigh.

As the woman on stage finished the song she saw a glimpse of white. Terror gripping her heart as she turned and left the stage frantically thinking, Is it him? No, it couldn't possibly be? But what if it is? How could he have found me? I don't even ride Ridebacks anymore. I dropped off the map. I changed everything about myself. And it was true few if any would never recognize her. She dyed her hair black putting in neon colors, started wearing black. She even started up singing, something no one knew she could do, not even her brother.

As she arrived at the door to her dressing room, a blur swept up and pinned her to the door. She looked up into the eyes of her capture. Gold yellow eyes met her brown. She knew those eyes anywhere. They had haunted her for the past four years, always there watching.

"Just leave. No one wants you here. You're just a useless woman who someone decided to pity. Just leave before you ruin us all." Keifer hissed at her.

By time he finished tears were coursing down her face. Hiding her face so he would not see her tears she spat back, "Well I wouldn't want to be an inconvenience for you would I?" Turning swiftly on her heel she left him standing there, never seeing him flinch at spitted words.

~oOo~

She looked at him that moment still fresh in her mind, and spat, "What the hell do you want?" Kiefer opened his mouth, but before a word could leave it, she stated, "Wait, I don't want to hear your vile words. Just leave." She shoved him off her, and spinning on her heel she left him standing there just as she had all those years ago.

By time Keifer got over his shock she had already disappeared from his world...
