A.S: Well, this is another of my crazy-insane ideas... I hope you guys can imagine this the way I did... In my mind, it was great. xD ~if the fic it's not good, at least the song is~ =D
obs: there is a lot of fics called Listen to the rain... So, I didn't wanted to call this one too...=P
."It's raining again..." said Ienzo, looking through the window of the castle, down to the town.
."There's nothing to do..." answered Braig, sighing bored, in the couch.
."We could sing that song again..." suggested Ienzo, looking to his older friends.
."The one Ansem taught us?..." asked Dilan "I hate that music. It's too stupid...".
."Please Dilan-oniisama... There's nothing to do and that song...".
."That song reflects part of what we are..." completed Xehanort "That's why Ansem taught it to us... Because he knew...".
."He knew the way we could feel... This research is taking too much of our lifes..." said Even, looking through another window. The veil of the rain was falling calmly... Touching everything...
."Let's go everybody. We go ask Ansem-sama to play at the piano..." said Xehanort, and the others followed him.
.When they reached in the weak illuminated study, Ansem was playing some calm notes on the piano...
."Oh, there is something wrong?..." said Ansem, looking surprised to see all his six apprentices reunited at his study.
."Ansem-sama... Can we practice that song you played to us?...The one about the rain?..." asked Ienzo.
."Yes, of course... Just take a seat everyone and I'll play it...".
.The apprentices started sitting each one in a chair and Aeleus stood at Ienzo side. Xehanort went to stay closer to the piano and the others remained in the back.
."Everyone's ready?".
.The first notes of the piano started, like the tears from the sky... Ienzo noted how everyone was concentrated to sing at the right timing and how silent everything was just having the rain as background.
Listen, listen, listen...
Listen, listen, listen...
Listen, listen, listen...
.While singing, Ienzo thought how he and his friends were able to do something beautiful as that... And how the world was large and filled with emotions...
Listen to each drop of rain,
Whispering secrets in vain...
Frantically searching for someone to hear...
Their story before they hit ground...
Please don't let go,
Can't we stay for a while?...
It's just to hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
.Xehanort thought how painful that song was... He felt an enormous pain singing that, but still... He felt purified... It was like turning into the rain himself... And how each of his friends' voice was completing the song... Each voice being unique, each voice giving life to the song...
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen...
Listen to the rain...
Weeping...
Listen, listen...
Listen, listen...
.Braig started looking to how that moment was rather unusual... He strangely felt that that was the last time they sang that song...
I stand alone in the rain (listen, listen)
Suddenly sweet words take hold (listen, listen)
Hurry they say for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
.A tear rushed through Ienzo's eyes. And he saw the same tear in Xehanort's face...
You may feel you're alone...
But I'm still here with you
You can do what you dream,
Just remember to listen to the rain...
."Listen..." whispered Ienzo, for the last time, as the hypnotic state the song caused to them was slowly drifting away. Everyone looked to each other and gave a warm smile, while the sun came through the windows.
Note: It's musically impossible for them to reproduce the song with just a piano and seven voices. But with your imagination, everything is possible. thanks for reading. :D
