A/N I love this song. It's called "someone else's star" by Bryan White. I was originally going to do this for Rowin, stars and all, but then I got an idea. FedX really does deliver well. So now, this little songfic, is for Kale. Actually, I'm going to do this in YST style, so Anubisu is Kale's Japanese name. ^.~ Happy readings!

Alone again tonight

Without some one to love

A wind blew warm and dry over the dynasty lands, and over the lone figure sitting on the roof of one of the crumbling walls of the maze leading to the castle.

The stars are shining bright

So one more wish goes up

Anubisu stared up at the wide black sky of the neather realm, with all the stars shining vainly between the clouds. The constellations were different from in the mortal realm. He saw his star, his special star, set as the eye of a great jackal in the sky.

Oh I wish I may

And I wish with all my might

It twinkled down on him, as if winking about some secret that they shared. How many times had he told that star his wish? Over and over, every night he felt so lonely he would wish on the stars. A silly thing he picked up from Sh'ten no doubt.

For the love I'm dreaming of

And missing in my life.

He felt lonely more and more often. Even Rajura had managed to find something to do with his life. And for once it didn't involve casting illusions over people.

I'd think that I could find

A true love of my own

It happens all the time

To people that I know

Naaza had found some girl who loved snakes and studied their venom. Even through his strange looks she had fallen for him. Or maybe he just used some type of venom when he kissed her.

There wishes all come true

So I've got to believe

If they could get girls, why couldn't he? There had to be someone out there just for him. Maybe he should look in the colder parts of the world...

That theirs still someone out there

Who is meant for only me

A cloud covered his star, and he shivered as a sandy tongue of wind licked at his cheek. He watched the clouds moving around the sky, watching all the different constellations slowly turning in the sky.

I guess I must be wishing on

Someone else's star

He stared at the constellation of the Samurai that was always just above the horizon and seemed to walk around the far edge of the land each night. Anubisu looked closely and saw a faint blur in the face. There was a star system or something in the place on the face right were his own scar would have been.

Seems like someone else keeps getting

What I'm wishing for

Why can't I be as lucky

As those other people are

A silly idea entered his head. Maybe he had been wishing on the wrong one, seeking answers and power from the wrong sign.

I guess I must be wishing

On someone else's star

What if his star was in the Samurai and not the Jackal?

I sit here in the dark

And look up at the sky

He felt eyes on the back of his head, and new someone at the castle was watching him. He ignored it and continued to watch the sky and stars and clouds.

And I can't give my heart

One good reason why

Everywhere I look

It's lovers that I see

He didn't want to see who Kayura had brought home this time. He didn't want to see the pity on the faces of the others as they remembered that they had it better.

Seems like everyone's in love

With everyone but me.

He'd have to go back sometime, yes. But for now he savored the dark wild of the dynasty at night.

I guess I must be wishing on

Someone else's star

He thought it was foolish, wishing on a star. He didn't know exactly how or why he had picked it up. He didn't even know why he did it every night.

Seems like someone else keeps getting

What I'm wishing for

Why can't I be as lucky

As those other people are

Maybe it was just something that lonely people tended to do. But he had always considered himself the least mortal of the four warlords.

I guess I must be wishing

On someone else's star

He caught the thin trail of light as a shooting star fell through the nebula on the cheek of the Samurai. He shook his head and thought himself silly, then wished, with all the silent feeling he could muster, to meet someone soon.

So did you like it? I liked making that part about the constellations up. This was actually pretty fun even though it was a kinda sad fic. Eniway, please R&R! I'll except constructive flames if you have them. Just tell me you read the darn thing! ^.^ o
