Wo Ai Ni, Oneechan.
Mt. Leikiaku lays dormant, on a humid summer night. The crickets chirp melodiously, and the soft breeze whistles tenderly in the breeze. The exotic flora and fauna sway in navigation, directing the little one to its destination.
Ano toki wa naze? to..
I would ask, why did it happen then?
Wide emerald green eyes open, surveying the housed area for a certain one's chi. Every move of his is careful, ever second planned. But deep inside, he knows it takes him the strongest of efforts not to cry.
Jibun a semetemari
And try blaming myself
A delicate nose sniffs a musky scent. He knows he is close, but the question is-will his 'will' survive long enough to let him get there?
Demo doushite? to aite nitaikaketari
I would as but why? and question the other person
Small feet in equally small black velvet shoes carry him to where sounds of laughter and loud ruckus comes from. His hazy body soon leads him to a banquet hall, filled with the famed outlaws. The emerald green eyes still survey the area, and widen with excitable joy, as they come across the one he seeks.
Nagarete yuku misu ni utsuru
It flows by, it reflects in the water
Petite hands tremble, as they try to maintain a decent grip over the scroll he has in his palms.The little boy studies the habitat of his fiery-haired comrad, and lets a single solitary tear roll down his rosy-red cheek.
Omolde no danpen
Fragments of memory
Wishing that the mountain boy would take his lily-green clothed body and embrace it with his warmth, the little one can only let the visions of before cascade through his mind, of the countless times he has let this happen.
Anna omoi kurikaesanai
I will not let myself feel like that again
With his emerald-green robe to his equally green eyes, the tears stop, and he looks at the individual again. No tears come, but his heart aches.
Sou kokoru ni chikau
I vow in my heart
He stand there for hours, until the fanged one dismisses them all, and he returns to his quarters. He follows.
Nagarete yuko mizu ni utsuru
It flows by, it reflects in the water
Small feet in equally small velvet shoes follow the tessen-carrying one to his quarters, where he lays himself to sleep.
Kanashimi ha aru kara kono, chikarude kono inochi de
Because there's sadness, with this power with my life
And as the flame-boy rests silently, a petite hand reaches out to him. Once-sleeping eyelids snap open, and the fiery head urns in the little one's direction.
"Ch-Ch-" The leader stutters, as the tiny hand closes his mouth.
Omae o momoritai
I want to protect you
"Hai, Tasuki-san. I'm back." Small lips whisper, as the shichiseishi lifted up his head, revealing his all-too-familiar features.
"Wo ai ni Oneechan." Another whisper recited, as a character on his foot began to glow.
Owari!
