Prologue 4: Friendship part 1

"- so anyways as I was saying this guy just cuts me off in the middle of a great pick up line and dramatically sweeps the girl off to dance, doesn't even give me a chance to show her my charming way-"

"Charming really?" Snorts Kyo

"-s and might I add had it not been for my fabulous self, you would have never meet your one and only, (snort), meant to be, (glare), truest lo-"

"Ok Tony I think the people get the idea, how many drinks have you had again? Didn't you say something about being tested tomorrow about that horrible itch"

Tony stares at Kyo blankly, as if not understanding his words, at least he does, until he realizes that the girls he had been flirting with until just moments ago disappeared.

"KYO!"

Kyo laughs a little, though feeling a bit better then a few days ago, though if he ever drank that much again, it would be too soon. Inside he feels as though the test results are a sign. One that means his marriage will fail, and that his line will end. Who would he pass on the knowledge of the past to now, what about the legends and folklore, the love story behind the Goshinboku, and most importantly, how could he deny his beautiful charming wife the right to love and be loved by a child.

Sighing Kyo looks to Tony, his best friend, one friendship that came about through surprising circumstance, and probably would have never lasted long had it not been for miniscule event in both their lives. None the less Kyo still feels grateful to Kami-sama for the chance meeting. After all what's a life-crises without that one friend who seems to make everything right.

Now he knows he should be home, with his wife, talking over options and solving this problem together, But right now he just... he just cant. The world is spinning and he's dreams of little giggles and late nights, of lost lullabies and he feels like that song the children sing, the one about Kagome the bird in the cage, and those dreams that seem so real are slowly dissolving into nothing. And he NEEDS to fix it. But he doesn't know how. But he's sure of one thing, Tony is his best friend, and Tony will know how to help.

"-In space and all that fine Jazz, maybe scuba diving, or I was thinking, maybe you and I need to kidnap that lovely wife of yours and go on a vacation to Bora Bora; you know on a food tour, or maybe to Italy's finest wine vineyards, like in Tuscany or maybe skip on over to Viva La France to visit some art or something, Loo-loo likes art right. Or-"

"Tony!"

"Yes Kyo, are you back from depressed daydream land... really? finally? Truly? Cause I was just planning a little expedition where we, as in you, me, and the lovely travel the world and -" Cutting Tony of once more, even though he's at least a bit more amused now at the thought of Kun-loon and Tony in some random museum discussing art. He none the less needs help, not amusement.

"Tony while appreciated I think I need to think about what's happening right now and not go off spelunking to god knows where. Running away wont help me right now."

Finally being serious Tony looks at him with what he calls "business means business and I'm not screwing with you, no really?" face.

"Kyo, unless Loo-loo wants to go through a process that at best is in it's later experimental stages, and costs a lot of money and needs some random guy's sperm, you could go to an orphanage, forget about a child and live some more or start eating special diets to get more swimmers in that nut-sack of yours... I don't know what else to tell you. I know I'm to blame, because if what happened back then hadn't happened I'm sure you would be that viral young man with all the fertile sperm in the world, and If I could I would help you, if anyone in this world deserves a child it's you"

"Tony... What happened wasn't your fault! For the last time I-"

"It was... Kyo it was my fault and, god if I could just give you a child, one that could be yours I would damit! If I could go back in time I would, if I had never tried to kill myself this whole thing -" ~slap~

"Tony get ahold of yourself and stop bringing up the past! If you had never done what you did we would not be sitting here, and god forbid, I would have never meet Kun-Loon, or had you for a friend. And even though it effects us now, I would Never change the past, the past is history, the future a mystery and the present is a gift. A gift that is slowly turning sour and depressing and Kami now you have me going on a rant. And I'm not having some random stranger impregnate my wife, and I don't want to adopt and god, short of you giving me a niece or nephew I am willing to accept never having a child and just giving up here"

Huffing Kyo looks down at his hands, his left hand specifically with it's little silver ring and where his wife's name is engraved.
