the end is nearing it seems...nee,
we all agreed that I should write the last part? *hopeful* ^^;
well.. anyway as a reminder
of how the plot (so that I don't have to spend more time establishing events
for the ending) should go:
-Die and Levin move away
to town (in this case, do you think that Levin will go back to try and
save them and THEN move away? It's up to you.)
-Yukihiro falls comatose;
Sakura takes care of him.
-Tetsu sacrifices himself
to save Hyde.
Then I can write the end.^^
*cranks up White Feathers*
"...before... Everything turns into a mess," He whispered, his head lowered. Die's eyelids fluttered as he blinked, not uttering a word. Seeing that he had nothing to say, Levin continued, "Yukihiro and I... are not humans."
"....."
Sakura lowered his head. ...He was selfish. "...un."
"Then...
It's good." Those alluring eyes narrowed in satisfaction, as his lips curled
into a feline smile. Pulling his finger away, the two of them returned
to the house, and Yuki let go of him as soon as he saw Sakura's lingering
gaze at one of the closed doors. "See you later," and he let go of Sakura's
hand.
"...kill
us...?" Hyde repeated, and suddenly his heart chilled.
Tetsu
smiled. It hadn't been happy, nor sad... Just so gentle, so gentle that
it could have enveloped everything in its radiance and sheltered them from
all storms. ".....kowai na?"
Hyde
shook his head, suddenly fathoming something.... Shaking his head, "u~un.
not at all."
"Hyde...
I'll protect you. I promise..." He didn't notice the disagreeing expression
on the latter's face.
I can't face him any longer.... That was the last thought that Sakura's mind conjured, before he returned to his room, a resigned sigh resting on his lips.
"Not humans?"
Levin
would have giggled and placed his finger upon Die's lips, but the corners
of his lips were weighed down. "...Yukihiro is the son of the sea.... And
I'm his cousin."
"....."
The redhead smiled.
"Do you
think I'm lying?" Those large eyes were pleading.
"...No,"
Die held him closer, "I believe you."
". ......
...They're in danger," Levin whispered.
"Those
two...?"
"No."
Levin squeezed his eyes shut as he buried his head into the tall man's
warmth, "....Them. Them all."
".....shizuka...naa..."
Tetsu whispered, wrapping his arms gently around Hyde's shoulders.
"nnn.?"
"The
sea." He gestured towards the window.
It was
indeed calm; the waves sifted gently over each other.
"The
sea...." Hyde repeated, his eyes flooded with a mist of pain, but immediately
it cleared. He nodded, and turned his head so that his gaze rested upon
Tetsu's lovely features.
Knock
knock.
His knuckles
rapped against the door soundly, and then with a smile, Yukihiro slipped
in. "Sorry to be disturbing..?"
"No,
it's fine," Tetsu returned this smile, and Yukihiro beamed up at him.
"I brought
dinner," The taller boy held out a tray of pickles, grilled fish and rice.
"It's my turn to cook."
"......Where
did Die and Levin go?" Hyde cut in wearily.
"…They
went away," Yukihiro said simply, his brows furrowed in a troubled expression.
"….I can't believe Levin did that…"
They
lapsed into silence; there really wasn't anything to say. They thanked
Yukihiro quietly, and the boy padded away to allow them a private moment
to themselves.
For once,
he realized that his existence was totally wrong.
Wrong;
he shouldn't have existed…
When
the days were created, before even the sea had formed, there was only darkness.
Seeing that Darkness made the place cold and weary, the Creator said, "I
shall create light."
Darkness
was unhappy. The Creator, seeing disobedience in Darkness, punished it
severely by going on ahead with his creation; it was light. Light pierced
through darkness; wherever light existed, Darkness had to go.
During
the days, everyone rejoiced, but they hated it when night came. No one
noticed the harmless sorrow that lay in Darkness' existence, until silently
that feeling of being abandoned grew so strong that it took over a human's
soul.
For this,
Darkness was severely punished again; it was deprived of feelings.
The essence
of Darkness grew and prospered in that cursed race… Always being shunned,
always being misunderstood and blamed.
Being
a piece of Darkness, Sakura was only meant to sin…..
He was
crying as well; those hands that could never touch Heaven had tainted it
with a promise that he had given to Yukihiro.
It didn't
matter to him; not at all. It was the reason that he was crying.
Night
came in and filled the space, and then dawn came shining into the window,
just like how it was meant to be.
The day
outside grew to be clearer and clearer, until a slight gale began. Sakura
noticed it, and an impending sense of fear filled him upon that sight.
The wind
pulsated, bit by bit, until everything seemed to whirl in a gigantic spiral.
Startled,
Hyde glanced up towards the window. Tetsu's gaze followed Hyde, and his
eyes widened when he saw the tinted leaves slamming against the glass harshly.
"...what... what is it...?" He gasped.
"....I..."
Hyde couldn't tear his gaze away. "I'm not afraid."
".....what...?"
The lithe
figure broke away from the Star's presence in a sprint outside, into the
wind, into the salty wind....
"Hyde...
Hyde?!" Tetsu cried, chasing after the boy. "...Stop!!"
A dread
flooded the atmosphere. Tetsu managed to catch up, gripping tightly onto
Hyde's arm.
"A storm...
The storm is coming for me..." He struggled, trying to dislodge Tetsu's
hold.
"Stop
it!" Tetsu whimpered as those fingernails ripped at his skin. "Hyde...
Hyde!"
"Please...
Don't come after me anymore....."
He broke
free, his naked feet kicking up the sand as he raced forward into the beach.
I
don't want you to protect me; I want to protect you….
