Oath of Servitude
Author's Note: And here we go; a one-sided romance between Kurogane and Tomoyo (Hime, from Tsubasa). Because I'm apparently a sucker for angst. Either I am or CLAMP is, I guess.
DISCLAIMER: Hey. Let's make a copy-and-paste thing here. Okay, so, CLAMP and its works are not mine. They belong to, uh, CLAMP. WISH, Holic, Tokyo Babylon, X, Tsubasa, RG Veda, Kobato, Cardcaptor Sakura, Drug & Drop, Chobits, and every other story I have not mentioned here but that I might use are not mine, but CLAMP's. Also, the characters are also CLAMP's property. What I do own is this series of drabbles I've been writing from different CLAMP works, that are not really related. I have no monetary interest with any of this, of course, but, now, if you'd like to leave me comments, I'd be incredibly happy… (Sorry, sorry. Thought it was a good opening)
. . .
I swore to you my being, my life, and my protection. I swore to you my company, my life for yours, my life in favor of yours. I looked into your eyes, knelt down before you, and offered you my blood, my whole self, to protect you, my princess.
Under your command, I would kill. Under your command, I would die. Under your command, I would make any sacrifice. I would sell my soul and give up on my ambitions. For you I would become stronger — enough to stop my suffering, enough to prevent your suffering.
(Strong enough so that you could see me as a person, as a living human being, as someone you could one day come to love.)
Because you, Tomoyo, are my life. My princess, my light, my life. The only thing that moves me, that encourages me, that makes me fight, in the first place. You, Tomoyo, is my lady, and I am your willing servant; I kneel before you, offering you my blood because I love you. Because I wish to. I offer you my whole self, because I need to protect you — from all evil, from everyone, including myself. I stand by your side, a blink away from movement, waiting for your eternity, loving your all, all that you offer me, because…
Oh, Tomoyo. My princess, my light. My only.
