This fic is inspired completely by the song 'Sinéad' by Within Temptation. A beautiful song. I do recommend listening to it.
Oh, and if my annonymous reviewer of 'SKiN' is reading this, then that fic is complete. I forgot to mark it before. Sorry about any confusion!
Sealing Our Fate
What have I done? I-I'm so confused… This is all his fault! All Junpei Iori's fault! He messed with my head! He…
No, it can't be his fault… It's no one's fault but my own. Or, maybe, it's Takaya's. Yes, I blame Takaya. I feel blessed to have meet Junpei. He opened my eyes to so many new things. So many feelings that I never imagined I could feel. But… If I'd never met Junpei, I wouldn't be here today.
Junpei…
Are you looking for savior? Chasing a dream?
What were you thinking when you took that bullet?
What was that? What was I thinking? When what happened? Oh, when I joined Strega?
I was drowning in sorrow. Chasing tomorrow. Running away. Call it what you want. I was looking to survive. I didn't want Medea to kill me. But in the end, I let her ruin my life, anyway. I became an emotionless husk, waiting patiently for her to take over. I would have been saved from so much if I let her kill me so long ago.
Now, Medea, before you can kill me, I need to draw on your powers one last time.
Junpei. Please come back. Don't leave yet. I can save you. Just let the Spring of Life take its effect. You will be okay. I have to try. It's not over yet. My heart is bleeding. Bleeding for you, Junpei.
It hurts to know this truth, but I'd give my life to save you. I say this because it's what I must do. A life for a life, right, Medea? Here, take mine, but save Junpei.
I'm crossing the border. Sealing our fate.
But I'm not afraid.
For the first time, your life will turn around. You will like it, I know.
Return to the living.
There is only one reason I lived this long. And that reason is you. I lived to save you. This second chance, I know, won't last. Not for me. But it's okay. I have no regrets.
I feel the end is near, now. I'm no fool. Or, perhaps I am.
It's getting closer.
I feel… faint. Almost free… Now…
The darkness I admired from afar looks so pleasing now. I will come to you soon, my friend. I need to stay here for a moment longer.
I will be there soon.
There. I'm done with life. Junpei will be fine now. I'm coming, my sweet darkness.
Take care, Junpei.
"I love you."
"Chidori! Chidori!"
Your voice… is a pleasant thing to die to.
Thank you, Junpei.
I bought The Unforgiven and heard this song and I knew I wanted to fanfic it, but I wasn't sure what fandom or pairing to use. After playing P3 for awhile and watching this scene, I knew this was it. I find myself loving Junpei and Chidori, on top of Shinji/Minako, Aki/Mitsuru, and Minato/Yukari. I have a lot of writing to do :P
Please review!
