An excerpt from the next part, which deals with Tamahome growing up and slowly remembering his past. Isn't he a talented boy? *shimmers*
When it was first written, some parts of the text appear in a red colored font, which is really quite important for the story. But FF.Net doesn't allow for that kind of HTML coding, so I've had to substitute ALL CAPS for the red sections. I've resigned myself to the situation, so I suppose you can as well ^_^.
Spoilers for entire TV Series and first OVA.
Tamahome leaned forward in intense concentration, tongue poking out from between tight lips as he worked. Finally, it was done. He leaned back in exhaustion, dropping the crayon to the floor. Tamahome surveyed his masterpiece with satisfaction.
NOT BAD... FOR A SIX YEAR OLD.
Tamahome grinned at the red Voice's comment. Then he jumped up, clutching the drawing to his chest as he raced to the kitchen to show his mother.
"Kasan!"
"Kasan!" Tamahome cried. "Look what I made!" the excited child thrust the paper at his mother.
"Hmmm... why, it's a red rooster eating a worm!" Umeko declared, beaming at her precocious son.
I AM NOT A ROOSTER!
"It's not a wooster-- it's a... a..." Tamahome began, reflecting the red Voice's indignation.
PHOENIX.
"A phoenix!" Tamahome cried triumphantly. "And he's holding a dragon!"
"Oh!" Umeko exclaimed, smiling indulgently at Tamahome. "I see it... this is very beautiful, Tamahome." Umeko gathered her son in her arms, giving him a big hug.
ROOSTER, INDEED....
Please remember to review! In the case of this story, reviews are going to be what determine how quickly I manage to finish it. The entire story will probably run about four parts long.
