Those Who Love Saya
Author's Notes: Yes, I'm really sorry and I do realize that some of you will be very angry with me for changing and erasing some of the best parts of the story, but I did it for my storyline. And I do know that originally this was only supposed to be one year later, but I decided to make it four and a half. Sorry! Oh, and Nathan will mostly be in this story for comical purposes! And yes I know that I said I was gonna update my InuyashaxNarutoxKH crossover, but it's on my other computer and I just got a new laptop for Christmas!
Disclaimer: I don't own Blood Plus… So don't sue! I just got Christmas money and I would like to spend it myself thank you very much!
Summary: What if? What if Saya only slept for 2 and a half years instead of thirty this time? What if Haji never "died", thus never telling Saya he loves her? What if he begins to regret it, after she wakes up? What if the reason why he regretted telling her was because Solomon and Nathan never died, then later became her Chevaliers also, which also means that Haji will have to compete with Solomon and Kai for Saya's love? Can they stand the competition? Can you stand the suspense? Will you actually read this story to find out? Pairings- SayaxHaji, some SayaxSolomon and SayaxKai, I doubt there will be SayaxNathan but ya never know!
Chapter 1: Visits to the Grave
A man approached the grave quietly, checking his surroundings so he wouldn't be seen. Opening the door, Haji stepped inside and gave a very small smile at the sight of the cocoon that held his one true love, Saya. Placing a hand on it's stringy, spongy surface, he could feel the faint pulse of Saya's heartbeat. Sighing quietly, he secretly wished that she didn't have to sleep for so long. He felt lonely whenever she wasn't around; he was so used to her presence after traveling around with her for a little over a year again. He almost told Saya he loved her, but was stopped when Amshel arrived. Together, they both fought him while Kai escaped with the twins. After a long and brutal battle they defeated Amshel, but Saya soon succumbed to her sleep after. Haji sought out everyone to tell them, then disappeared after bringing her to the grave, the place where she began anew.
Shaking his head, he noticed that off in the distance, he could hear Kai and the kids starting to approach the grave. He gave Saya one last glance, then closed the door behind him as he left the grave. He pulled out a pink rose, and pulled his ribbon from out of his hair to tie it on. He placed it on the last step of the grave, "I love you, Saya. I will wait for you forever." He started to hear Kai and the twins' approach, so he quickly left before they could notice anything. It wasn't that he didn't like them, it's was just that he sometimes liked to be left alone, with the exception of Saya.
Kai climbed the steps to the grave, carrying a large picnic basket while trying to manage two hyper sisters. "Hey! Shuzoku, Suki! Don't go too far or too fast!" Sighing, he thought of the sisters and how they affected his life. He decided to name them "family" and "love" because those were the words that he immediately thought of when he thought of Saya. Speaking of whom, they were going to visit her crypt today with a lot of food. He chuckled as he remembered how hungry she would always be no matter how much she tried to deny it.
When Kai neared the top of the stairs he was met with two small bodies that collided with his legs, almost making him spill the contents of the basket. "Ouuf! Careful you guys, you almost made me spill our lunch!"
A pair of bright blue eyes looked up at him with a bright smile on her face. "Uncle Kai, there's a pink flower with a blue ribbon on the steps to that scary looking building!" Shuzoku exclaimed.
Her red-eyed twin, Suki, tugged on their uncle's pants, leading him to the object of their current interest. "See? Look Uncle Kai! Pretty, isn't it?"
"Hey, I thought I told you guys to call me Dad," he chastised as he looked at the rose. He smiled. 'So Haji, you're still alive and waiting for her, huh?'
He remembered when Haji flew out of the theater just as it came crashing down. The look of horror on his face as he saw Saya, bloody with her dress torn up and lying in Haji's arms was copied on everybody else's. He honestly thought that she was dead. Haji walked right up to him, and he let out a breath that he had been holding when he saw her chest moving up and down in soft breaths. 'Saya has finally succumbed to her thirty year slumber. I will take her back to Okinawa,' was what Haji had told him, and then promptly flew away. All he could do was stare dumbly off into the distance with the twins in his hands. He was happy that they convinced Saya to live, and yet really sad that he wouldn't see her again for thirty years. He made a promise right then, to raise the twins like their Dad had raised himself, Riku and Saya and to be there when Saya woke up. After all, he did promise Saya that he would be the family that she could always come home to.
Kai smiled, it had been about four and a half years since that day. Then he suddenly remembered that he was carrying a picnic basket that was getting heavier by the second, so he gently set it on the ground and waved for Shuzoku and Suki to come on over. "Hey, leave that rose alone and come eat. It's for your aunt."
Shuzoku and Suki grinned and quickly ran over to Kai. They liked eating just like their aunt, but they weren't afraid to admit it. They practically inhaled the noodles, sandwiches and desserts as they ate. Suki was actually able to stop eating her sandwich to ask, "Otou-san, what was auntie like?" Shuzoku nodded energetically, adding "Yeah! You always talk about her, but you've never actually told us what she was like."
Kai thought about what to say for a moment. He already told them that their mother and aunt aren't human when they were little, but surprisingly enough, they accepted it without another thought. As long as they had Kai as a part of their family the twins said, they could have been born on another planet for all they cared. "Well, your aunt was a very different person than most people. She protected her family whenever she could, and loved us a lot. Oh, and she loved to eat just as much as you gluttons!"
"Hey! That's not very nice!" they pouted to a smirking Kai. Shuzoku asked another question about their aunt. "Who was that guy's name that you kept mentioning? Haje? Hari? You know, the one that you said traveled with auntie Saya all around the world?" Suki looked very interested in this question too, and added "Yeah! You said that he loved her, right?"
Kai chuckled again when Shuzoku mispronounced his name. "His name is Haji, and yes, he does love your aunt." 'Just like I do,' he thought. The rest of the picnic was filled with more questions about Saya, and when the sun began to set, they packed up and went back to their house.
Nighttime broke out, a perfect cover for the last person that was going to visit the grave that day. Solomon Goldsmith, ex-Chevalier of Diva, Saya's sister, and another person who fell in love with the latter. 'It has been four and a half years since she fell asleep, and since I was saved by my brother.' Solomon thought as he neared the ancient grave.
When that sword had cut him, Nathan had given him some of his blood to counter Saya's. It turned out that Nathan wasn't really Diva's Chevalier, he was her mother's Chevalier and promised her that when she died, he would look after one of her daughters. Apparently, a mother's blood will counter either of her daughters' dangerous effects without turning the victim into a Chevalier.
Solomon smiled when he saw the faint outline of the tomb. Landing on the steps, a flash of pink caught his eye. Frowning, he realized it was from Haji, another man who was also in love with Saya. Well, if Haji could leave a gift, then why couldn't he? He spotted a sunflower that grew behind the tomb, and picked it. Adoration. Pressing his lips to one of the petals, he gently placed it right next to the pink rose. With a bow, he left to attend to more… important matters concerning employment for the next thirty years.
These visits to the grave continued for the next couple of weeks in the same order; Haji would come at dawn, Kai bringing the twins at noon, and Solomon visited at twilight. Haji and Kai were a little angry at realizing that the sunflower was from Solomon, but they left it there since Saya didn't think too badly of him.
Whew! Okay, was this good? I can't tell! Please R&R!!! Oh, and if anyone is wondering, the title of this fanfic is named after one of the episodes in Blood+ in case you didn't catch that!
