Sound of Silence
Nighttime, the perfect opportunity to be outside and be drowned by the darkness it brings. Night the opposite of day, two things that will clearly never ever meet. Just like me and her. Thought a certain-raven haired man as he continued to divulge himself within the darkness of the night…moving farther and farther from the light, from Mikan—probably forever.
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
A certain brunette entered his mind. Mikan.. he thought, as a scene entered his imagination.
FLASHBACK
"Natsume, you are a creature of the night" said a masked man with black lip gloss. "And she's of the light" (try and guess on the 'she')
"so?" the crimson eyed lad replied to Persona.
He smirked the said, "You don't actually think of dragging her deep into the darkness with you now, do you" he stated that's right stated or more like threatened.
"What's your point?" Natsume asked, though he already know what the 'devil' will say.
"Leave her, forget her or better yet…KILL her. Your pick" and he left back to his quarter at hell.
"Damn!"
END OF FLASHBACK
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains,
Within the sound of Silence.
He left Natsume in the depths of the night to ponder the words hehad just said. "Damn" he cursed as he punched the tree until his skin tore and bled. I guess Persona's right…the darkness is not healthy for her. (What a lame excuse. XD) he reached his decision "I'll leave"
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
"Yes I'll leave everything, and I mean everything behind." He continued his journey to nothingness, passing nothing but darkness and silence. Yes, calm and disturbing Silence, that seemed to never end…
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence…
A blink of light appeared at the end of the darkness. If darkness ever has an end. Hastily, he approached it, curious of what it could be but cautious enough for any sign of trouble—let alone death. To his surprise, he saw… "Mikan?"
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
"Natsume" she smiled. "Where were you? We were worried as hell!" Mikan drew nearer to him. Natsume kept a blank expression on his face as he stared at the brunette's moving lips. Oh no! he thought I can't hear a thing!
FLASHBACK
"Natsume you fool" he said to no one in particular. "Someone who has been drowned into the dark could and would not function properly in the light's property. First, it will take every capability then spreads out up to your brain." An evil smirk etched on his face. "Especially someone like you. Dark is with darkness, while light is with lightness. Those two could not intercede." And he laughed an evil laugh. Then disappeared into the night.
People talking without speaking,
People gearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of Silence.
He kept wondering as to where his hearing capacity went to. (he does not know the he is the only one experiencing those difficulties, because, according to Persona, someone from the dark could not meddle with someone from their opposite.)
NATSUME'S POV
I saw Mikan as I reached the light. The light, was it just a coincidence that she was there? No, I don't think so, this is her home after all…
Her lips were moving, but I can't hear a thing! 'oh no what has happened?' I asked in my mind. It was working well a while ago…but, why now?
"Fools" said I "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
I shouted, I screamed, I yelled. I tried to place some sense into their minds—into my mind, but no one listened or was it my voice? 'Maybe, they too can't hear. I concluded in my head. I tried to speak again this time—no voice came out. He knew since his voice box did not vibrate. What. The. Hell.!?
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of Silence.
The silence is going to make you go insane! 'Believe me, I know' I thought. For the silence is a step closer to the darkness. I glanced a worried look ay Mikan who was smiling at me. 'Baka' I thought.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out it's warning
And on the words it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the Prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
(He was imagining the stanza above)
I glanced around nervous of their odd movements. Then someone tugged at my clothes. It was Mikan. She pulled me down and whispered something in my ears. "Welcome home" she said with that idiotic smile of hers.
'Home..?' I thought. 'But I'm not from here, I'm from the darkness not the light.' "No, I have to leave" I mouthed, though I don't think she understood as she kept on that smile of hers. But before I could shove her away, Ruka, Imai, and the rest of the gang blocked my way. I doubt if even my glare could drive them away.
"Damn" I cursed myself mentally. Then, I realized I heard her, and I could talk again. The people weren't at all bowing, it was just my...imagination? I noticed the room very jolly, filled with laughter, filled with…happiness.
I glanced at Mikan who gave me her ever-so welcoming smile "Ikuzo, Natsume-kun" she said.
And for the first time in a long time…I smiled.
"Tadaima" I whispered to her ears. I can't, 'I can't leave her behind…she is my light…the sound of my life. She is Mikan-my Mikan to be precise.'
"NATSUME-SAMAAAAAAAA!!" people shouted as they crowded over me.
END OF POV
"Damn!" Natsume cursed 'I thought I can get rid of these Fan girls once I'm here'
He ran. 'Oh well, I thought wrong'
And whispered in the sound of Silence.
OWARI
