If Fate Had Been Different
Prologue
I closed my eyes as the sea breeze caressed my face and whipped my hair lightly around me. It was the same here as always. Bright, beautiful and the only place I ever wanted to go to. Here, I found peace. I could allow myself to indulge in the thinking of you here. Just as I'll always be with you, in heart and in soul.
They say reality and life is harsh but for me, there is not even a life. I live and pine away in my dreams; I hate myself at being unable to do anything for you, for myself. Why am I cursed with this existence? Why do I have to suffer all this? Sometimes, I wonder why I cannot be a normal person, normal enough to step outside to the sunshine, normal enough to find the one I truly loved. Would things be better if I had met you in another way? I wish it would.
But just as he said, fate cannot be changed. I am cursed to be like this forever. My shattered heart bleeding until the end of time for you. For the image of you that remains in my mind, the hand you extended to me that I will never be able to touch again. Wait for me Hokuto.
The end is near. Wait for me Hokuto. I will be there with you soon. Till then, please never leave me again.
A seagull passed by near my head and gave a sharp caw. I stared out at the expense of bright blue sea that shimmered like sapphires and felt the soft fine sand beneath my feet. Picking myself up, I stood to take a slow stroll along the coast.
As I came towards the area I had sat at the other time I met that other girl I could not save, my heart ached once again at my incompetence. I was about to head over there when I suddenly noticed a weird and unlikely foggy area between several large boulders. Urged by my curiosity, I moved my feet over near the now misty region in between those rocks as I peered at it.
The mist seemed to be swirling languidly and I wondered if I was seeing things as it slowly looked as though it was fading to a black color.
"Ah!"
I cried out a little as something large came appearing out of the misty vortex and knocked right into me, landing on top of me and pinning me to the sand beneath.
"Ouch!" the someone on top of me gasped aloud suddenly as whomever it was scrambled quickly to roll off of me and I coughed a little, completely winded.
"Ka.Kakyou? But.how can that be? If you are here then."
It couldn't be. I'm hallucinating. That's it, I must be thinking too much about her. My mind is toying with me again. Is it really.? I had shut my eyes, unwilling to open them and to realize I had been fooled again.
This time, I felt another pair of feet that land in the sand just right in front of me. No! Stop being foolish, just open your eyes! I thought to myself when fear suddenly crawled up my spine.
I forced my eyelids wide open and found myself staring right at the pair of legs, or rather, the yukata that was covering the legs. A feeling of superlative horror started numbing my brain as my head turned upwards to look at the two person involuntarily.
I felt my jaw drop open slightly and my amber eyes widened as I gaped soundlessly back at the other two person who were in turn, gaping back at me.
***
A/N: I'm a serious Kakyou freak and I love X! I'm so happy when I bought the large X manga collection series yesterday (and at a 20% discount too!) that I decided to finally write this story that had been swimming in my mind for a while now. I love a lot of the other X characters too but I think that Kakyou is simply irresistible and there is just too little stories and sites dedicated to him, so I wanted to do a piece just for him! Please give me your feedback regarding this story and constructive criticisms are definitely welcomed!
