KAGEROU DAYS! I KNOW THIS SONG IS EVIL AND GORY BUT PARDON ME. I just thought about this song with Frantic shipping... it's a songfic! Yay... hope you enjoy... I'm new at Songfic's so... yeah... Ruby is "I" and Sapphire is "You"... just so you know and this is Eng Dub. You should watch the original version. It's cool... and plus you'll know what I'm talking about.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Pokémon characters Ruby and Sapphire and this song.
On August 15th, 12:30 in the afternoon,
The weather was incredibly nice
Ruby and Sapphire were on the swings in twinleaf town. Ruby checked his Poketch for the time.
And amidst the sickening rays of the dazzling sun,
I spoke with you for I had nothing else to do
Ruby turned and stared at his blue eyed rival and asked 'Hey, Sapph? What do you think about summer?'
'Well, y'know, I kinda hate summer,'
You boldly murmured while petting a cat
Ruby kept staring at Sapph after she gave her answer. She kept staring and stroking a skitty. She looked up and gave Ruby her signature smile. They both got up and started walking down the path when the skitty jumped out of her arms and ran to the road.
Ah, you pursued that cat as it ran away from you
and what jumped out
Sapphire ran after the skitty and on to the road. Ruby watched in horror at his friends actions.
Was the traffic light that had changed
to a glaring red
Sapphire turned and just saw the blaring red light of the pedestrian traffic light change. Ruby, paralyzed, just stood and watched. He saw a truck racing down the road and called out to her. Sapphire turned and stared.
Suddenly, a truck came out of nowhere
and struck you as you screamed
Ruby stood and watched as the truck ran over his childhood friend, eyes open and mouth dangling. Her red blood splattered everywhere, staining Ruby's clothing to the truck that hit her.
Your scent, now mingled with sprayed blood,
choked me
Ruby staggered backward onto a lamp post and covered his mouth to keep the smell of Sapphire's blood out and started to feel slightly nauseas. Sapphire lay motionless on the tarred ground and just stared into space, her eyes drooping.
In the Haze of lies, the Haze of heat
laughed, "This is all real!"
Ruby looked up and saw another version of himself, except the boy was all black like a shadow, laughing at Ruby's suffering.
With that, like cricket's sound being disturbed,
the light blue of summer darkened away
Ruby had now dropped to his knees and everything was blacking out.
The Haze of Heat stood before thousands of clocks and saw one in particular had stopped. The shadow covered blood on it, marking its death finished and waiting for another.
I woke up upon my bed to the sound of a ticking clock
what time is it now?
Ruby woke up on his Mudkip blanket that looked like it has been trashed around. After recalling the events that had happened, Ruby frantically looked for his Poketch.
On August 14th, sometime past 12 in the morning
I recalled the sound of an awfully annoying cricket
Ruby laid his head against the window pain, covering his ears to block the noise of the Kricketune chirping. 'August 14th? Was it a dream?' Ruby rubbed his heavy lidded eyes and got dressed to see Sapphire in the park. Once he got there, he and Sapph sat down on the swings and Sapphire found a skitty, picked it up and began stroking the pink fur.
But, y'know, it's a little strange.
Yesterday, in a dream, I saw us walking in this exact same park
Ruby said to Sapphire, his eyes saddening at the memory. Both of them started to walk down the pathway. The skitty jumped out of Sapphire's arms and Ruby's eyes widened. He grabbed her arm forcefully. She was surprised at his action and turned to him with confused eyes.
"Why don't we go home now?"
Ruby dragged Sapphire out of the park and onto the busy street, where there was construction happening to one of the buildings.
The second you stepped of the pathway
everyone surrounding us turned their heads to the sky and opened their mouths
Everyone started screaming and pointing at the building with the construction, which happened to be next to the duo.
From the sky, down dropped and iron pole,
that pierced your body straight through
Ruby stared in shock at the pole. Sapphire's eyes dilating and her mouth hanging open slightly, getting ready to deliver a deafening scream.
The sound of wind chimes and your ripping screams
filled the spaces between the park trees
Ruby slumped to the ground, covering his nose from the smell of iron and blood, tears forming in his dark red orbs.
In this unnatural scene, the shimmering Heat laughed,
"This is the real thing!"
The Heat-haze stood before Sapphire, a grin forming on its evil face.
My vision blurred away, I glanced at your profile,
and I thought I saw you smiling
Ruby started to faint but he glimpsed at Sapphire through squinted eyes and saw her smiling.
The next morning Ruby woke up with sweat forming on his forehead, remembering the events. He rushed out to the park where he saw Sapphire waiting on the swings for him. Running, he grabbed her by the arm and dragged her away. The ran to a building. Ruby, having his special shoes, zoomed up the staircase. Reaching the top, a few tears fell as he stood panting, waiting for Sapphire. He saw in the corner of his eye, the Heat-haze stood toward Ruby, smirking. Ruby looked back at Sapphire and saw she missed the last step of the stairs and was falling down. She put an arm out for Ruby to try and catch her.
The Heat-haze now stood before the thousands of clocks again, but each one the time had stopped and was showing every way the Sapphire had died. Stairs, chopsticks, scissors, anyway imaginable.
Ruby crouched down, covered his hands over his ears and screamed, letting tears out.
Countless times have made me black out
in the laughing heat like this
Ruby's face is pressed against his window, his eyes having dark circles beneath them from countless times waking up in sweat.
This cycle repeats for decades
I've realised that long ago
Ruby now stood before the thousands of broken, blood stained clocks with tired eyes and saw that one clock was still working. He turned around and saw an old memory of him avoiding the many deaths of Sapphire.
It's kinda a cliché story
but there must be only one ending
Ruby saw in the memory the very first time it all started: the time Sapphire ran on to the road.
Beyond this repeating summer day, it must exist
Ruby remembered his happy memories with Sapphire. When they were kids and on their adventures together.
Suddenly, I pushed you aside and jumped into the street
at that moment, the truck slammed into me
Ruby faced the truck and smiled, excepting his fate. Blood spilled everywhere. Ruby glanced at Sapphire and her eyes were in shock.
Your eyes and my twisted body were like
hazy reflections of the blood that sprayed everywhere
Sapphire brought her hands to her mouth as tears escaped her deep blue eyes. Ruby's Heat-haze stood with his eyes wide open, not believing what Ruby had done.
If that praiseful Heat-haze laughed,
"Serves you right!" again,
Ruby fell down and laughed at the Heat-haze and remembered Sapphire's toothy grin. Ruby's Heat-haze's face was now flowing in tears as he saw Sapphire's Heat-haze smiling at him.
This is what you call a normal summer day
but all of that ended today
The clocks that had marked everyone of Sapphire's death shattered as the cycle broke. Sapphire's Heat-haze stood before a clock and smashed it with her fist.
On August 14th, a girl woke up upon her bed
and said
Sapphire leaned against her window pain, tears flowing down her cheeks as she recalled the events of what had happened. She leaned down, stroked her fathers skitty and whispered:
"I've failed this time too..."
as she cradled a single cat
Her Heat-haze stood before her and grinned evilly, planning on how she should kill Ruby next.
Heheh... hope you liked it! I know its gory but I do like this song. :D you see, the ending is Sapphire waking up after many tries of trying to save ruby. My friend explained this song to me... the cycle for Sapphire is being repeated again and again just like Ruby... Please rate and review!
BYE!~
