Disclaimer: Yeah yeah... I know... For those of you who read my other fics,
you all know how much of a desperate romantic I am. Ah well. Since it's
Christmas season, I thought I should do a nice fic on it... Preferably of
X/1999. It's Sorashi... Not that many of them out there (That is, compared
to yaoi.) and I thought a nice one should be out for Christmas. Don't
worry, no one will die. but enough said, or I'll give my story away. Kay.
I'm done now... Wait, one more thing. I DON'T OWN THEM so DON'T SUE ME.
Title: Christmas time.
Rating: PG just in case I get carried away.
Sorata Arisugawa groaned. He was bored, depressed, and currently sitting in his room in Mt. Koya. After the final battle, it seemed as though the monks of the shrine were putting more pressure on his already stressed out body.
He sighed again. No doubt, both the Dragons of Heaven and Dragons of Earth had died in the fight (sans Kamui), but when Kamui had won the battle with Fuuma, they all had been given another chance to live, with the Chi no Ryu being cleansed of the soul once again, and the Ten no Ryu ready to welcome them to the bright side of life.
Now, Nataku was living with Fuuma, Kamui, and Kotori (who had also come back), as well as going to school with them. Kakyou was working as a psychiatrist, using his power well, and was living in Tokyo. Said Tokyo was repaired after a year and half of hard work.
Karen was still staying in Soapland. Not bad, since she loved her job. Yuuto went to his usual job, while Satsuki became a computer professor in CLAMP Campus. Seishirou works as a vet again, and because of Subaru this time as well. . He was happy with his job too.
Kusanagi is working in the military. Yuzuriha and he had grown to be very close friends, who listened very well to each other.
Seiichirou Aoki was so-so. His wife and children had not survived the Promised Day. he had been sad, but he could not mourn forever. He was now slowly, but surely, turning back to his gentle and happy old self.
Much on the contrary to the remaining three Ryu. As much as they loved to stay in Tokyo with their friends, duty called, and Subaru, Sorata, and Arashi had to return to their respective shrines in Kyoto, Kouya, and Ise. No point in protesting.
A soft knock on the door snapped Sorata out of his train of thoughts. "Yes?" He answered in a soft, calm voice.
"Sorata."
"Ah, Jikou-san. May I help you?" Sorata recognized the old priest in front of him.
"Chuu-san wishes to see you."
"Hai. Be there in a moment."
Minutes later...
"You wished to see me, Grandfather?" Sorata sat down after he gave the old stargazer a bow.
"Yes. I would like to speak to you for a moment..." The old man gazed at the boy-no, MAN-that he had raised for the past fifteen years.
"Sure. What is it?" Sorata returned the gaze silently, with an air of curiosity.
After a moment of silence, the elder quietly asked, "What happened to you, Sorata?"
The latter was taken aback. "Grandfather? What do you mean?"
"You have changed ever since you had returned from Tokyo. No," He held up his hand when the younger started to reply. "You HAVE changed. A great deal. You do not talk as much. You lost your cheerfulness. You lost your smile."
"..."
"Yes, you do smile at times, but it doesn't quite reach your eyes. On the contrary, one could see pain in it if he looks closely."
"..."
"Is it the girl?"
"!" Sorata was startled.
"Is it?" persisted the Stargazer.
"..."
The old man sighed. "I see. It is true then.
"Grandfather..."
"Go to Tokyo." Chuu said. "Your heart belongs to another, not here... Go and find her."
"Grandfather!" Sorata was struck speechless.
The Stargazer merely smiled at him. "I have a feeling that she'll be there. Go, my boy. Pursue your dreams... and your love."
To be continued...
A.N.: Like it? Hope you do. But anyway, please read and review. It would make a nice Christmas gift for me.
