Life in eternity? That almost seemed like an oxymoron to him. Life after all, life did end. Eternity was forever. Even longer. He had no words to explain his "cross that he had to bear." All he knew is that he had quite some time to wait it out and watch what happened.

Maybe it was just him. Maybe it was the others too. He hadn't seen them since she had left this world. Suzaku no Miko. He wanted to be assured that she would never have to return to him and he would never see her. Gods how he loved her though. A blossom in the palm of his hand, and even more so that she would wilt if he would hold her. He liked her long auburn hair, her blazing green eyes, her pale soft skin. No. Mustn't bring back those memories! He had touched her once. It wasn't of his will. He was under some spell. Deep inside he knew that it was what he wanted. He knew the spell showed your "true feelings," and he knew they were true. How could he forget her? How could he just shove someone so perfect out of his life? She was gone. With his friend. It was better that way. She was obviously happy. And that made him happy. Tasuki shook his head and cleared his mind of his troubling thoughts, "I really need to get her off my mind." A voice deep inside said for him to "move on." As if there were any other girl like Miaka! But maybe he could find a "special someone" to call his own to forget Miaka and move on.
