Chapter 7: Awakened Feelings
Lavi looked over to where Allen was sleeping in a fitful sleep. Poor kid, he wistfully thought, he must be dreaming about Yu-chan's death again.
Glistening tears slowly rolled down Allen's cheek and sank into the dry ground, briefly moistening it before disappearing.
"K-Kan…da…" whispered Allen before his body shook with uncontrollable sobs. "W-W-Why…s..so…c…c…c..ruel….ba…ka…"
Lavi sighed and looked over to where Lenalee sat in a corner, sobbing. She had been having more nightmares about the end of the world lately, and she has started to convince herself that it was actually going to happen.
Who is the one that owns the Heart?
Who has the power to put an end to the war?
So many months away from Bookman has made his heart go soft. Bookmen were not supposed to have feelings. So why does his heart ache so much?
What is this unexplainable feeling?
Could it be…love?
If it is love, then for whom?
--**~~**--
Hooded figures stealthily moved under the dark cover of the night. If you managed to catch a glimpse of them and figure out in which direction they were going in, you would be surprised.
Nobody breaks into the prison. Nobody has ever broken in or out of the prison ever since Aizen overthrew the order at Soul Society. And nobody would imagine that the person holding the same seat as the traitor would be the one doing it. It was just too absurd to be true. The Fifth division might as well be cursed.
After a few minutes, the hooded figures reached the wall surrounding the prison. Only one shinigami had ever broken in- Zaraki Kenpachi. But then again, he was the one with the insane amount of spiritual energy. And a IQ and directional sense of nearly zero.
"Mugen, Activate. Forbidden Three Illusions." Whispered a low voice. A expertly cast kido hid the flash of light from view, and soon, there was a doorway neatly carved into the white wall.
A sweet scent filled the room, and the inhabitants fell unconscious. As the hooded figures confirmed the statuses of the knocked-out prisoners, they each took one on their back and fled.
And they continue to flee into the dark night, for someone was bound to notice the disappearance soon.
To the one place where they know is safe.
One figure looked down at the one he held in his arms, tears still glistening on the pale cheeks. As he brushed away the tears, the lips seemed to whisper a name. Listening closely, Kanda serenely smiled at the sleeping figure for a brief second before he bore a stoic expression once more, his usual scowl back on his face.
"Kanda…."
--**~~**--
One slash was all it took, one injury to end my beloved's life.
I tried to bring him back.
I really tried.
I even called upon the power of the Ark and the power in me as the Musician to create and destroy, but event that wasn't enough.
Even the Musician can't create life.
Even if the Musician can create life, will he be the same has we was before?
Nothing can bring him back from the arms of Death now.
And I didn't even get to tell him how I feel…
And a calm lullaby filled the silence and wiped away the tears falling from my eyes.
The world became peaceful once more.
--**~~**--
Allen slowly blinked his eyes open and looked around the Japanese-style room he was in. As his senses came back to him, he heard someone softly breathing on the other side of the room. He also noticed that he was in a nice bed- a futon, to be exact. It felt really comfortable.
Turning his head to view the source of the breathing, he found himself staring at the face of the person he dreamt of.
He then knew who it was who wiped away his tears, and who comforted his fears.
"Kanda…" he whispered to himself, a warm blush spreading over his cheeks as he gazed at his rescuer.
Said person was kneeling near the wall, away from the bed, and had nodded off into sleep due to exhaustion. He was still robed in his Captain's garments, the white fabric contrasting the dark black hair that was tied up in an elegant ponytail. His bangs shadowed his unmarked face and his closed eyes.
Allen, knowing that he was safe once more, gave in to the warmth of the futon and fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
--**~~**--
Where am I?
What is this place? No-wait, I remember. This is where the final battle took place, where the Millennium Earl was defeated.
Why am I here?
Sounds…Metal clashing against metal, explosions, collisions, screams of pain and agony, with the stench of death in the air.
This isn't just where the battle took place- this is the battle.
Tyki…
I could end his life right here and now. He's right there, just lying there, unable to move from the attacks which I have landed on him during the course of the fight.
And yet I couldn't do it.
Why?
Why?
To know that I was the one responsible for why he is still alive… surely he must know. And surely others may find out about it as well…
Why couldn't I kill him? Bookmen do not have feelings.
Why?
The question echoes around, and, when I finally realize the answer, time freezes and I can feel myself being sucked out of this vortex of dreams.
It is because…
…because…
Lavi gasped and opened his eyes, finding himself, too, in a Japanese-style room. A tear rolled down his eye as he completed his thought.
"…because I love Tyki."
Akari: *peeks out from beneath fingers* I'm still…alive? *stares at chapter* …
Akari's SC: Ah, hello!~ I decided to not kill you and messed around with the chapter a bit~
Akari: …
Akari's SC: 'kays…REVIEW, peoples. There's a nice green rectangular box with the words 'Submit Review' near the bottom of the page. It's not that hard…just one click…you can do it…
and that will make me very happy. =)
Ja-ne!~
Akari~
