kinda cute......... *sigh*
Anyway, this is a story that's supposed to be related to X/1999. But I think
it's screwed. Tell me what you think about it anyway.

"The Decision"

"Fate...... is in your hands. Your choice. 'Dragon of Heaven'...... or 'Dragon of
Earth'. The dream I showed you... it will come to pass... if you become 'the one
who hunts God's will.'"
The same sentences kept repeating over & over, again & again in my head since
Hinoto had said it. Would I be a Dragon of Earth & destroy the world, or a
Dragon of Heaven & save it? What should I do? Why me & by myself too?
If I become one of the Seven Harbingers, or the Seven Dragons of Earth, I
would kill every single living thing & all the spiritual points in Tokyo. If I
become one of the Seven Seals, or the Seven Dragons of Heaven, I would save
the Earth, & protect all living things, even Kotori & Fuma.
But Fuma... he said that he had a dream, & the person inside of it, Kanoe, she
told him to kill me because if he didn't then I would end up killing Kotori. But I
would never do that to her. I had promised to protect & marry her when we
grow up six years ago, when we were about 9 or 10 years old. I still protect
her, but will I be able to protect her to the end? Or will I end up truly
destroying her & all those that I love & care for?
The vision that Hinoto had shown me & the visions that Kotori had told me
about... Hinoto said it could come true if I chose to be a Harbinger. She said
that the lives of many people depend on my one decision. Including Kotori's
life. Especially Kotori's because she's already so weak with a heart problem.
& yet what else would happen if I became a Harbinger? Kanoe had told so
little before she was forced out of the dream by Hinoto. If I only knew more
about what would happen, then I would be able to make a better decision.
True, Sora, Arashi, & even Hinoto the dreamseer said that as long as I have
someone to protect, I will always choose to be a Seal. But what if I was to
lose all of them? Then what would I do? Arashi's lucky because Sora was destined
to die for the woman he loved & to help protect the world as were the other
five Seals destined to also do, & I was destined to come to Tokyo & decide the
Fate of the World. My own mother had told me this in a way before she died in
the fire, the fire, Hinoto had told me, that she herself had made, by telling me,
"Kamui, Go to Tokyo. Your destiny... it's waiting."
Mother, what would you want me to choose? You knew of this before you even
left the home of the Magami family. You told your own sister, now my Aunt
Tokiko, that you would bear a child that would change the Fate of the World.
Why didn't you tell me about my future? Even when Aunt Saya died. You didn't
tell me anything, yet you left so quickly. Where am I supposed to get my
answers now? If not you then who?
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Kamui? It's me, Kotori. May I come in?"
At first I was surprised to suddenly hear her voice, especially when I'm so
troubled.
"Sure. Come in," I answered.
"Am I disturbing you in any way? The birds at your window told me that you
seem really troubled about something."
Kotori. She's the same as ever. Always worried about a lot of things. And yet
she still has the innocent power to talk to birds & plants, & they seem to really
seem to answer her.
"No. You just gave me a break from my thoughts. Thank you."
"What are you thinking about? Don't worry, you can tell me."
Kotori was always a comfort to me no matter what the problem was, may it be
a scratch to a decision of the Fates. In her own way she is an angel.
"Kotori. If you were in my place, what would you choose? Please tell me. I know
that I'm supposed to make the decision by myself, but I can't. I'm tempted to
be a Harbinger, yet my better side tells me that I should be a Seal & protect
this world. What should I do?"
If I was still a kid I would probably have bursted into tears already. I think
Kotori sensed that, because she gave me an anxious hug.
"From what I saw in my visions, I would certainly choose to be a Seal. The
Harbingers, if they were to win, would bring too much pain for everyone, the
ones that died & the ones that survived. But I can't choose for you. You must
make the final decision before the appointed day comes. Just think about what
would be best & how you would want to spend your future."
After this she left the room.
She was right. But at least my mind was at ease. I thought about what she told
me & right then & there I made my final decision. I would be one of the Seven
Seals, protect all, help all, save the Earth, this World, & keep my promise to
Fuma, Kotori, & myself. I will protect Kotori & Fuma even if it kills me because
I would never be able to live in a world that had no Kotori, Fuma, or even
people for that matter. I would rather die before I see that. & therefore I
will never be one of the Seven Harbingers.
I guess Sora, Arashi, Yuzuriha, & everyone else did have a reason to live no
matter what it may be. Now I have a reason as to why not to be a Dragon of
Earth. & that reason is to protect family, friends, people I care for, people I
love, & even people that I hate.
Now I just hope that I can protect this world with my powers & the sacred
sword. -_-;;;;; But first I need to find it & figure out how to use it...
