Unspoken Love:// Act 2
~*~I'll never forget you...up here...I can still hear your voice~*~
A/N: Well I got reviews and emails telling me to continue it so I said what the hey ^.^ I was going to continue it anyway, even though after I wrote it I was kinda thinking of leaving it a one shotter. I mean I think it turned out good without a sequel ^^; But oh well here is the continuation.
It's so warm here.
So warm...
Like it was in her arms.
Floating in a state of suspended animation, Nuriko's thoughts flew.
I'm dead...I have to be...but where am I?
Strange...when people die...
I always wondered where you went Kourin. Is this what happened to you too?
Are you in such a dream like state?
If I'm dead...
I want to meet you.
Kourin!
Where are you!
Come back to me! I'm here!
Please!
Not hearing any response Nuriko opened his eyes. In some sort of shining light he, descended to what looked like a mountain.
"Where am I?"
"You're here."
"Huh?" Turning around he came face to face with Taiitsukun!
"WAAHHH!!!!!! I'm in Hell!!!!"
"You're not in Hell idiot!" Smacking him over the head, she frowned.
"Stupid kids..." While she floated away Nuriko rubbed his soar head.
"Taiitsukun? Are we on Mt. Taikyoku?"
"Of coarse. Where else?"
"Heaven maybe?" Turning back to him, she frowned.
"Why would you be in heaven?"
"Oh...I don't know...maybe because I'm DEAD!?!??!"
"Dead is only if your heart dies too."
Looking at her with a confused look, Nuriko followed her. "What do you mean?"
"You may be dead physically but your heart isn't."
"I..." Looking down, her words sunk in.
"No...I guess not."
"Also...you must continue to protect you miko."
"But how?! I'm dead! I cant...I cant even be with her!"
"Would you shut up for one minute!" Turning around she glared at him, before transporting them inside.
"Nyan Nyan!!!"
"Shut up!"
"Taiitsukun! Taiitsukun! We can fix your ugliness so you can look like him!"
"Yes! Yes! We can fix!"
"Damn you!" Throwing them through the roof, Taiitsukun coughed before regaining her composure.
"Now, back to what I was saying. You must keep on protecting her."
"But how?" Looking down at his hands, Nuriko saw right through them.
"I'm dead..."
"Would you shut up with the dead crap!?"
"But..."
"Let me finish!" Snapping at him, she brought out a red scroll.
"You died for your miko yes?"
"Yes."
"Now...tell me why...was it for friendship? Honor? Trust? Duty? There must be hundreds of reasons why you did it. Tell me the reason you did it in your heart."
"I...I..." Looking up Nuriko closed his eyes. "I did it...because I love her."
"There's your answer."
"What?" Turning back to her Nuriko shook his head. "What answer?"
"The reason you must keep on protecting her. She will face many more tribulations and dangers before she can reach her goal. That is if she is even able too."
"Don't underestimate her! I know she can do it!"
"Well...you refuse you stay by her side through all of it?"
"What?"
"Love...it is what powers Suzaku. Something that can defeat the darkest evils, that simple feeling can make empires crumble or the heaven's sing."
"I still don't understand."
"You died for the love of your miko. You cherish that love don't you?"
"More...more than anything."
Smiling Taiitsukun handed him the scroll. "I thought so."
"What is this?"
"Something that can take you back to her."
Surprised Nuriko stared right into her eyes. "I...I can go back?"
"With the help of Suzaku's powers and my own, your love for Miaka will take you back to her."
"Why would you do this?"
"Because she needs you." Turning around she formed a red light around herself.
"Any last thing you want to say?"
"Wait! Before I go! Can I see my sister? Kourin? I've missed her so much."
"This isn't the time for that."
"But I need to see her! To tell her how much I love her! I've. I've been so lost..."
Clutching the scroll, to his chest, a tear rolled down his cheek. "I have to...know she's alright."
"Then let me tell you this. She is in a place that can no longer hurt her, and watches her brother with pride in her eyes and love in her heart."
Wiping the tears away, Nuriko looked up smiling. "Then...Then I shall try to keep those feelings with her. I'm ready."
Nodding Taiitsukun raised her arms and in a flash of blinding red light, Nuriko disappeared.
"Will he be alright?" From behind a pillar a small girl walked out, to Taiitsukun's side.
"If his heart stays strong and the love he has found blooms...he'll be just fine."
"I'm glad." The little girl smiled as she imagined the face of her Oniichan.
"I'm so glad."
'I watch over you now, dear brother, not because I have to, but because I want to.
I am so proud of you, brother, you would never be able to imagine.
You have so much to live for.
I am glad I can watch over you now, like this.
I love watching you serve her, but I hate how you torture yourself with your own feelings.
You should tell, those friends…they'll understand, they won't hurt you.
I wish I had known them, they seem so kind, and they seem to make you happier.
I smile for you at that.
I watch over you all of the time, brother, can you notice?
I tried to make it a lot easier for you, I don't know if I've helped any.
Have I?
Being your guardian angel is hard, but I love it.
I miss you dearly… but I still am happy to watch over you.
Maybe someday I'll come back to you, if I am allowed to.
I can wait to actually touch you again, so you can see me again.
The thought of that brings tears to my eyes.
I would try to help you, brother. Why do you torment yourself with your feelings?
Tell her the truth, and believe it yourself.
I know you can.
I know you told that boy about them, so why not ask her?
She, too, deserves the right to know the truth, brother, especially since it involves her.
But you know that already. You just need courage, and a friend to consult with.
I wish I could be that person.
Your friends… why not tell them?
That flame-haired one seems honest.
He could keep a secret, he has many of his own, my dear brother, and can you not tell by the uncertainty in his eyes?
I think that she can tell, brother. I know that she can, and she's very special… no wonder you hold her so dear to your heart.
But if that's so, why do you not tell her? From your thoughts, she hates secrets…
Brother, you have to let go of me, keep my in your heart, but let yourself come first.
I know it's difficult for you to let go.
But trying to have me live through you… it's impossible.
I'm so sorry, brother.
Keep your head high, you are in a position where no one else is, and they envy you for that.
I knew you 'd protect her, didn't I tell you that?
I don't need you to find people that I can "love"…
You are your own first priority, and I am gone.
I understand that you want to keep me close, but you don't have to act as me.
You are yourself.
Brother, I would never want you to hurt yourself protecting me, someone who died seven years ago.
I want you to live your life and enjoy all of it. Please promise me you'll never be dishonest to yourself.
It hurts me to see you in pain, more than you, yourself.
I watch your actions brother; you treat them all like you did me, a real friend.
Some of them even call you, "Oniichan".
I smile remembering how you'd protect me from the street boys when I called you that in my small voice.
I'll watch over you forever, brother, I know that you'll always know this, although you never will truly receive this message.
Maybe our god, Suzaku, can deliver it to you.
I love you always, remember that, but sometimes, forgetting can be best for yourself.
I love watching you prosper, and loathe when you are discontent. I must seem like I let you down.
I did.
I wish I could've lived through everything…
I wish that I could've helped you when you met her.
Maybe then you wouldn't have to have hidden behind that costume, brother.
But whatever happens, brother, live on.
I am here for you, brother, I love to watch over you because I'm not with you now.
And if you get lost, brother, I'll always be here to guide you back home.'
