Welcome to Gaia! ::

xP I hope you don't mind if I add onto this story.....


The woman awoke with a violent start. She had had the same dream now three nights in a row. She looked beside her, and the man in her dreams, Kyo, was sound asleep, the wedding band she gave him still on his finger. She stood up and went to the kitchen to get some tylenol and a glass of water. She took the tylenol and went into the living room. She sat down on the couch and took up the remote control. She sighed. She wouldn't be able to get back to sleep anyways.. Might as well watch some television...

A few hours later, Kyo woke up and walked out into the livingroom. There was his wife, sound asleep on the couch, and looking more haggard than the past few days. He took a blanket and pulled it over her. She must have had another bad dream.. It almost made him want to cry, because she was the type of person who would keep her feelings bottled up inside of herself until she self-destructed. As long as she thought the people around her were happy... He sighed and went back to their room to put on his uniform. As a cop, he had to be at work in about an hour. That gave him thirty minutes to prepare breakfast and do whatever else he needed to do. Other than talk to his wife, Ellie, about her self-destruction..

He was a former psychologist, and maybe that's why Ellie wasn't talking to him about these things. He sighed, and after eating eggs and toast, almost walked out. He came back to kiss Ellie on the forehead, deep in her sleep, and walked out onto the deck. It was unfair. He felt so sad, so depressed on the inside, and here was the day, mocking him. The cloudless sky, the perfect temperature.. Hell, even the grass seemed greener. He had to figure out a way to reach Ellie again, the way he could when their marriage first started out.. He stepped in his patrol car and stepped on the gas.

Ellie woke up about half an hour later, her hair roused around her face. She sat up and saw that a blanket covered her. She curled up and hugged her middle, knowing what this must be doing to her husband. She didn't deserve someone as good as him.. Since she quit her job as a detective of violent crime, it had become much harder for her to talk to anyone. After all, after seeing for yourself what happens when two kids are locked in a tin house on a day breaking the hundereds... She felt tears coursing down her face, and realized that she had been crying for some time now. Ellie cursed her weakness. When had she started to cry? She wished she could tell everything to Kyo... She needed her job back, apparently.. She cried and cried until she fell back asleep on the couch, tv remote flung across the room.

haha-I'll take about a quarter of that, Steph, since I wouldn't be able to write squat if I didn't already have an idea for an intro, thankfully given by DeathRedRose.
Inuko, that was really good. I liked it. And you're talking (actually, I'm the one doing the talking. xP) to someone who's attention comes and goes randomly. Yours actually kept my attention. :3 I shall like to read the rest of it one day.
