Kon-ya-nichiwa! Darkchylde here with the second chapter of my CCS and Escaflowne crossover. Well, since I've noticed that most of the readers of this thing aren't that fond of yaoi, I've decided to keep this hetero. No Yukito and Touya for you peeps. ^_- You'll have to settle for Sakura and Li and Hitomi and Van. I'm going to behave myself in this fic. ^_^
Well, newayz, this chapter's kinda dark...
Omi-kun: Kinda? *Raises his eyebrows*
Fine, _really_ dark. That's because this is a psycho's point of view. Yueki's ototo-chan. ^^* I hope you get the whole Dilandau thing, after all, he _is_ an artificial person so it won't be hard to-
Eriol-kun: Darkchylde-san. Your giving away the plot.
Oh... yeah. -_-* Newayz, read and enjoy (I hope). C ya'll.
Moonlight Revalations II
An Escaflowne and Card Captor Sakura Crossover
Where am I? Confusion slowly surfaced.
I looked around slowly. I noted that I stood in the middle of a clearing, bordered by trees so high I had to crane my neck to see where they ended. But I had no memory of arriving here.
I pinched my cheek, digging my nails into my soft flesh.
Pain.
So, it seems I wasn't dreaming.
There was nothing or no one insight, it seemed I was alone in this little grove. It was quite beautiful. The trees were a shade of healthy green. Flowers dotted the forest floor.
Boring actually was a more fitting word. Nothing was happening at _all_. I twitched my wings in annoyance. They were my vanity, these ivory feathers. Noone I have known has these.
I glanced to my left and saw a pond nearby. Walking towards it, I knelt and tilted my head as I gazed at what appeared on the surface.
Bright blue eyes. Long silver hair. Graceful white wings.
I saw myself.
Avion.
I smiled. The reflection smiled back. I laughed. It returned it.
"You are beautiful." I said to it, reaching out and rippling the placid ponds surface. My reflection dissapeared.
Dissapiontment.
I stood up and turn my back to it. How rude it was to ruin the beautiful picture!
A slight rustling of bushes caused me to jump. Turning towards the direction, I slowly fixed my face into an expression of utter passivity.
Did I say I hate being surprised?
"Who's there?", I allowed the anger to seep into my vioce, my tone going dangerously low.
A young boy stepped out, a human. I noted that he couldn't possibly be older than 14. His eyes were wide in wonder, peering beneath a screen of honey-brown hair.
I stared coldly at him. Something about him disturbed me, making me close my eyes slowly in thought.
What was it?
What was it about this boy?
"Ryuugin... Why are you here in Fanelia?", The boys vioce cut through my thoughts, fright clear in that young tenor.
What did he say? What did he call me?
Hmm... Ryuugin?
A vague memory surfaced of my Mother, making the forest fade away as if someone had slowly ran water over a newly painted picture. A house rose in my mind. A cottage in the woods. My mothers voice rang clear.
'Avion, you are ryuugin, you must have nothing to do with those humans.'
'But why do they hate us!'
'They hate because they need something to hate. They despise us because they are foolish and do not understand.'
A new voice interrupted, soft and gentle but rough with emotion, 'Mother why can't they! Why do they think we are cursed!'
Who was this?
I stuggled to form a face, playing that soft vioce thought my head over and over agin. It surfaced quickly, as if waiting in hiding all the while.
A thin lithe boy stood beside me in this memory. We were at the border of our little village. I remembered turning to him and griping his hand, begging him to come with me this one last time. He tries to pursuade me otherwise but I was adamant. No matter what mother says I will go. He sighed tiredly, then fixing his eyes on mine he nods, a small smile forming.
Beautiful. Just like me.
Bright violet eyes.
Yueki.
The picture blackened swiftly in reaction to the emotions that surfaced at the thought of my brother. The sudden pain rose, starting from my chest, crawling upwards till the tips of my fingers. My whole body was in pain. I felt hot. Cold. Everything around me blurred.
I wansn't supposed to remember!
A whirlwind of memories and voices flew through my mind, drowning out any other thought.
'Memories are superficail.'
'Memories cause weakness.'
'You are our last hope.'
'Zaibach must be reborn!'
Suddenly the pain stopped as swiftly as it had began. I saw that the young boy was kneeling before me, violet eyes wide with worry.
Violet eyes.
Yueki.
'Memories are superficial'
I gripped the boys arms tightly, holding him hard enough to hurt. He gazed up in surprise and met my eyes. He was weak, his arms held no muscles, I knew I could break his little arms if I wanted to. He let out a small cry as I dropped him.
And broke his neck.
I looked down at the broken limp body before my feet. Nudging it softly with my foot, I checked for any visible signs of life.
None.
I was dissapointed. Dead so quickly?
Weak.
I hated his weakness. Hated the fact that he made me remember. What he had done was unforgivable.
I drew my dagger and knelt beside this weak boy, slitting his soft cheek open slowly. Red blood seeped out. Beautiful, this shade of crimson.
I ran my index and middle finger over the wound, staining it's tips with the blood. Then slowly, I rubbed it over my cheeks. beneath my eyes. My lips.
Warm red coppery blood.
Walking over to the pond, I gazed at my reflection once more. Long silver hair. Blood smeared cheeks. Blood red eyes.
My eyes?
They stood out in my face. Empty hollow eyes, red, with no retina.
I was no longer Avion.
I was Dilandau.
"IYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
We were two in one soul. Two individuals in one mind. I was Dilandau. I was Avion. I was ....
"Hitomi?"
What?
As the voice pulled me back, I rose out of the dark cloud that surrounded me, filled me with images. Escaped from the pain. Escaped from the sorrow.
From the memories that weren't my own.
"Hitomi?"
I lifted my head slowly of my study table and met my mom's worried brown eyes, her face only inches from mine.
"Are you okay Hitomi? You woke me up with your screaming.", she smiled slowly, a tight lipped smile.
"Hai, kaasan."
She looked doubtful, her forehead wrinkled as she ran her hand through my hair worriedly. I kissed her on her cheek and smiled in reasurrance, "Just a bad dream."
"You sure?"
I nodded dissmisively, and understanding this she left. At once I sighed softly and rested my chin on my hand.
What was that vision? I thought I had lost the ability of foretelling once I left the neclace with Van. Ever since I left Gaea I hadn't had anything out of the ordinary happening since. Except, of course, when Van would come for his monthly visits. Yet...
Who was that boy?
Why did I dream of him?
So many questions, and I had not a single answer for any. I shook my head. There was no way of figuring out that problem now. The problems I HAD to deal with now were trigonometry. Ugh.
Picking up my pencil I moved to finish the homework I had started. Tapping my pencil on the desk impatiently, a soft warm breeze though my window distracted me. Then drifting softly on the wind, a single white feather landed before me. I only knew one person who could have caused this.
Van.
I stood up quickly that I sent my chair crashing. Wincing, I hoped Okaasan didn't hear that.
"Van!", I moved quickly to the window by my bed where he would always wait whenever he would come to visit. I peered out and looked up to where the slight breeze of rustling wings were coming from.
It was a Ryuugin, but not Van.
It gazed down at me, bright violet eyes flecked with gold. A smile played softly on his lips, a smile of both innocence and wisdom. That face... I had only seen it once and for but a moment but the emotion that filled the image had made it unforgettable. The ryuugin Avion whose memories I seemed to have been in would never allow me to forget it.
The brother in the dreams.
Yueki.
He lowered himself before me, and settling on the windowsill he looked into my room. He slowly slipped inside and stood by my bed, looking down to where I still kneeled dumbfoundedly by the window. We stared directly at each other for a moment, letting our eyes take in one another.
He kept silent, those unnerving golden flecked silver eyes on mine.
A sudden grumbling broke the fragile web this beautiful Ryuugin had managed to wrap around me. Then to my surprise, his face broke into a smile I could only describe as sheepish and he glanced apologetically to his stomach.
"I'm sorry but I'm a little hungry flying all the way here. You wouldn't have anything around would you?"
I blinked, then blinked again. Then I slowly stood, dusted the knees of my pajama's and motioned for him to follow me.
Van Fanel, where are you when I need you?
~*~*~*~*
*Cruel laugh* I'm so evil! Newayz, Dilandau's an artificial personality created by Zaibach so I though they won't have any trouble recreating him 'cuz thay prolly had some extra genes back there. ;p Besides, he was damn useful in the last war. ^_~
Well, the thankies of this chapter goes to Gackt-sama whose music inspires me to no end and to Anne Rice who put me in the mood to write in the first place.
Lestat: She's my miko. ^^
Unfortunately. Newayz, next chapter (I hope) will either have an CCS reunion or an Escaflowne one. Depends on how it goes. Thanx to those who read this far! Here's some Yue mints for ya! *Tosses them over* Jaa!
Well, newayz, this chapter's kinda dark...
