Disclaimer: I don't own Alice 19th or the Saiyuki ending theme song.
I really like the words to this song, so I decided to write a fiction about it.
Alone
A dry breeze is blowing
The city is getting cold I wonder
how many seasons have passed
without even a sound?
I stared out the window on the top floor of the metropolitan building. Children and their parents walked by, happy and laughing. It pained me. But then I realized...
All of the people coming and going bear heavy burdens,
searching for tomorrow
within the heat haze wavering in the distance.
... they all have darkness in their hearts too. I was not a mind reader, but I could feel the mara tearing away at their souls. I was like that before. Only because of her. If only...
Feelings like sand falling through my hands.
Back then, the words that pierced my heart suddenly
started to throb with pain, but...
... Alice wouldn't have hated me, I would have never fallen into the darkness! It's all her fault! I've said that to myself many times, but maybe it's not all her fault. Maybe...
I've searched for pieces of myself,
counting the endless nights all the while.
These feelings are becoming so certain I almost lose myself.
Right now, without fail, I will walk forward, however far.
... if I would have been kinder towards her, she wouldn't have hated me. But I was so kind to her! All those times I helped her. But she was jealous. I could tell, but I tried not to let her know that I knew. I didn't want her to be jealous of me. I know she loved me, but then she hated me... all because of Kyo...
I wonder,
why is the sky so vast?
Even though I tried to yell,
my voice didn't come and the tears poured out.
... the troubles started with him. I knew Alice was in love him. But so was I! I didn't want to hurt her feelings but she was so shy around him...
I wonder where the birds are flying off to,
as they freely slice through the wind?
One can't return to the same place as it once was in days gone by.
... it did pain her. That's when she started to hate me. And made me vanish into the darkness... it was cold... until I found Kyo, the light in my heart...
Even if I give up my dream like this,
I won't suppress my soaring heartbeat.
Someday, I want to reach as high as the clouds.
I'll spread wide the wings in my heart and journey once again I will reach it, without fail.
... I tried to get out of the darkness, wanting to say I was sorry to Alice. I didn't want her to hate me. I wanted us to go to high school and have fun. But now...
I've searched for pieces of myself,
counting the endless nights all the while.
These feelings are becoming so certain I almost lose myself.
Right now, without fail, I will walk forward, however far.
... since the darkness is me, I will forget everything I've just said.
END
It wasn't too great, was it? Just something I did when I was bored.
