Warnings: sorry Serge+Leena fans... *blinks* are there... er, never mind... if there is, I don't think this is for you... gomen v.v I'll attempt to make it from Serge's POV...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Just standing there at Opassa Beach. That's all I really was doing. Poshul was with me. Strange dog, I would often think. We were both silent. I was staring out at the ocean. It always fascinated me, despite the fact that I nearly died from it. Luckily, I wasn't afraid of water. If I were, I'd be pretty pathetic. Especially considering I lived in El Nido, an archipelago in the middle of the ocean.
With a small sigh, I dug in my pockets and removed three beautiful scales. Komodo Dragon scales. Hard for most to get, but for me, it was painfully easy. I watched them for a moment. It was the latest thing around here. Get some Dragon scales, give it to a girl you like.
Leena.
She was my girlfriend, but I didn't consider it to be too serious. I tilted my hand a bit, the sunlight causing a ripple of color to waver over the scales.
"There you are..."
Poshul and I glanced back, seeing Leena. Red hair, and sparkling green eyes.
"Yay! Leena's here..!" Poshul cheered.
"Poshul..? What're you doing here?" Leena asked, looking confused. I frowned slightly, it was oddly rude that Leena talked to her that way.
"Oh, Leena and Sergeipoo are on date...? Me thinkth I better leave..."
"Oh puhlease... you can stay..." Leena said, with a shrug, then she turned to me, "did you get them?"
With a nod, I handed over the three scales.
"Oh Serge..." she breathed. "They're beautiful... thank you..." I smiled, faintly, as long as she smiled. I didn't really like to see her angry. Leena then sat down. She obviously wanted to stay here. But I remained standing.
"The sea never changes, does it?" Leena asked, softly. I furrowed my brow, as I stared out at the water. What did she mean? The sea always changed. Didn't it?
"It's been rolling in and out, like this, since long before we were born. It's been here for eternity, it seems... it's probably seen many things... heard many things..."
I glanced back at her, she was wearing a wistful look on her face, admiring one of the scales. With a small sigh, I turned back to the ocean.
"It'll probably keep rolling in and out, in and out, long after out lifetime... without a single change."
Right then, I was barely paying attention. Something was distracting. Something, almost like a sliver in my mind. It was tiny, but it was feeling. A feeling that I was missing something. Or someone. I frowned again, as I tried to pinpoint where this feeling was, exactly.
"Hey, Serge..."
I glanced at Leena in the corner of my eye, showing her that she had my attention. She smiled, faintly.
"Remember when we used to sit and talk like this when we were kids? With the gentle sea breeze and tranquil sound of the waves... Just the two of us... talking... Do you remember that day?"
I searched my memory. But found nothing. I shook my head, and went back to staring at the water. "I don't remember," I answered, simply.
"Oh..."
I heard the small sound of pain in her tone. But I was being honest. I didn't remember. I wasn't going to lie to her.
"Then I guess you forgot about the promise we made..." I turned to her again. Her head was lowered, as she traced patterns in the sand. Then she looked up again, a cheerful look on her face. "Well, I guess it can't be helped. We were so young... On top of that, you almost drowned back then. It was a traumatic time for you..."
I nodded, slowly, and stared out at the water again. The water was being unusual today. I had to wonder why the water was holding more of my attention then Leena. The color. The color, maybe.
"But, aren't memories strange?" Leena said, slowly. "Just when you think that you've forgotten something, it comes floating back into your heart. I guess it's just lying there in wait. Waiting for that right moment... Why, we might even remember this very moment someday!"
I turned back to her again, seeing her smile wistfully again. "In 10, 20 years... when we're all grown up, and married, and have kids of our own..."
I wondered what she meant by 'we'. Did she mean us, together? Or us, seperate? As cruel as it sounded, I didn't see my future with Leena. I couldn't. There was... someone else... someone I couldn't quite pinpoint. But I knew for certain, it wasn't Leena.
"When that time comes, I wonder what kind of adults we'll be? What kind of life will I be leading?" Leena paused, looking thoughtful. "I wonder what to make of this day..?"
I frowned slightly. Memories. I had one. One that I couldn't remember. One that I wanted to have float in my heart. But it wouldn't. It was frustrating.
"We'll forget it eventually..." I muttered, quietly. Frustration causing me to say such a thing. I wanted... someone else. Someone I couldn't even remember. I turned away from Leena, again to look back at the ocean.
"Yeah... I guess so..." Leena said, softly. "But... That would be really sad... wouldn't it?" I could feel her eyes staring at me, she wanted me to agree. But, I couldn't. Not now. The ocean... something was drawing me to it.
"Um, Serge... there's been something I've been wanting to..." she started to say, softly.
"Serge..." a soft voice whispered. Like a whisper carried on the ocean. I glanced around, instantly confused, curious. Leena looks up at me, confused.
"Serge..." the voice whispered again.
I took a few steps back, and turned around.
"What? What's wrong, Serge?" Leena asked, as she stood up. "Serge?"
"Serge..." That voice, again.
I took a few steps towards the ocean, and watched the water. Something was happening. How could Leena not hear it? How could Poshul ignore it?
The water, it sounded louder. Churning. Suddenly thoughts, flashes, of my childhood rushed through my memory. Me, running around like a normal child would. A panther. It all went through my mind. Then it was all gone. My eyes widened at the sudden surge of memories, that just came and gone.
Then the water changed. It was all churning, bubbling. A huge wave suddenly rose, and came rushing at me. I remember thinking that I wanted that small sliver of a memory to return to my heart. I wanted to remember what I had forgotten. Then the wave crashed into me. Or seemed to. I was instantly relaxed as a glowing sensation surrounded me. Warm winds.
Then I collapsed.
And that's when it all began.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, I tried a first person POV... and eh... *shrugs* I was playing Chrono Cross when I got this small idea... Serge+Kid, WHOOOOO! ahem, maybe this has been done already, well, if it has, I'll delete this to avoid any confrontations.
