Something about the sea seemed to draw him, even more than the star. Before he knew it, he casted one last glance at the sleeping beauty, and wandered out towards the corridor, his bare feet creating echoes with his footsteps across the cold marble. The shadows seemed to tower over him, reminding him of something which he was sure he had encountered...
By the time he reached the door, someone was behind him. A dark figure which reminded him so much of a certain someone.... ..
A reflex action was carried out, his fist whirled out and hit the figure on his cheek. Then he blinked; Sakura was standing in front of him, a hand holding his cheek, the other reaching out to grab hold of his shoulder. "You need to rest, Hyde." He said simply, as he led him across the house.
Hyde shut his mouth tightly, trying to refrain from casting him that suspicious glare, or asking those unpleasantly accusing questions. He let Sakura lead him towards that white bed, which sat in a corner away from the sleeping Star. He noticed how Sakura glanced with some sort of longing at Tetsu, and with that, his gaze hardened upon the raven-haired figure, who had said nothing.
It felt as if he was being led back to an asylum...
When Sakura turned to go away, Tetsu stirred. Once again the room seemed to be brightened up by something so positively beautiful that even the sun could not match with its silvery presence. Sakura froze, then walked towards that bed in two steps; the room wasn't big.
Hyde got up, propping himself with his own hands, until he stood beside Sakura, in front of Tetsu. The Star blinked, and smiled at him. It was such a lovely smile, it seemed to bring out something within his own heart.... .Inside, he screamed, he ran, he drowned. Inside, he was being reborn. It was all so much reflected in one simple smile... Was that the power of the Star?
"Is there anything you need?" Sakura asked, the corner of his lips curling upwards simply, as if there had been no intentions behind his every action. Hyde was awakened; he couldn't help glaring at that man.
"...I want to visit my friends," Tetsu said, glancing out at the window. "I want to see how they're doing before I part with them... I want to speak to Father."
".... ... .." Sakura held out a hand, which Tetsu gently took. Once again those stabs of jealousy arose, and Hyde found himself following the two. Tetsu smiled at him, and walked beside him as they approached the door, which Sakura unlocked and led them through.
Tetsu's presence comforted him so much...
He wished he didn't forget everything.
The beach was dark, and intidimating, but Sakura wasn't scared. That moonlight glittered off the water's surface, just like how Hyde remembered it... How had Hyde remembered it?!
Tetsu was already walking towards the sea, his head tilted so that he faced the sky above... .. He seemed to glow, so much, that it would have flooded his heart...
"Tetsu," Hyde called out, running towards the Star, disturbing the serenity of that scene in his flurry.
"Un?" Tetsu's eyes twinkled with something so bright...
"... .Who are you...?"
"I'm a Star," Tetsu replied, as if it was a universal truth.
"...Why......" There was so many things which Hyde wanted to ask, so many things which Hyde wanted to find out, that he'd forgotten that lone figure which blended into the darkness perfectly, quite far away from them both.
