She'd gone from stranger to lover to enemy so fast Choji's head was still spinning. Somehow, despite Shikamaru's great analyzing skills, even he couldn't figure out what had happened.
Now it's his mission to kill her.
"You know you can't." Choji could smell her hair, he remembered it so well.
"I have to, you're a threat to the village." Why did she have to look at him with those eyes? It just made it so much more.
"But Choji. I thought you loved me." Her voice dripped with fake honey and sugar. He knew that, but his heart still beat faster with every word spoken with it.
"II do." He said quietly to himself. Why her? Why did it have to be her of all peoples?
"Then let me go." Instinctively his grip on the girl loosened at the request. Luckily his sense stopped him from completely freeing her. "Cho..?"
She almost had him there. That name, that voiceWhy her?
There was a crash as the teapot fell to the floor and shattered.
"I'm sorry!" the bigger shinobi apologized to the now soaked waitress. "I didn't see you."
"S'ok." She started trying to wring the lukewarm drink from the clothes and hair. "I'd like to say it happens all the time but" She shrugged.
Despite feeling immensely bad about what had happened, Choji couldn't help but chuckle with her.
"Anyway," The girl continued, "Since this is obviously your fault, you get to help clean it up." Choji could feel himself falling for her continuous smile. "I'm Atae, by the way."
"Choji." Together the two smiled as they begun the horrible task of picking up the shattered teapot.
Clenching his teeth and shutting his eyes to stop whatever tears might come Choji raised a shaking hand to his lover's neck. A soft clanging came and went as the metal blade hit the necklace around the girl's neck.
The same one he had given only weeks earlier.
Her vivid green eyes sparkled with fear as Atae realized Choji might follow through with his mission. "Choji!"
"Good bye." He breathed in her ear. His tears ran down the back of her neck, the last thing she ever felt. "I still love you, though you are my enemy." He sobbed to the corps in his hands.
Crimson ran over his hands and dripped down his front. His kunai dropped into the forming pool of blood at his knees. He let himself cry, and as if in answer rain started to fall. His tears and her blood were soon washed away as one liquid by the watery hands of the sky.
"Why?" Choji asked the world. "Of everyone why did she have to be a spy?"
Moments later Atae was joined in the spirit realm. Choji had taken his own life in hope she would accept him beyond mortality. As their blood joined together and seeped into the earth, aided by the tears of heaven, their souls embraced in the land beyond.
