CHAPTER 2: False Appearance
(First off, I apologize for the wait, you see, I had lost the internet for a bit of time, so I couldn't get on, but I wrote! Ha ha! See? Anyhow...I wanna thank those who did review my story, you guys gave me reason enough to continue. Yeah, I was hoping for five, but who needs it when I got those who encourage like all of you? Thanks, for the support, this and the rest of my chapters will be dedicated to you! ^-^)
Song is "These Wings" By Jessica Andrews
Yui didn't know how long, nor how far she'd been running, and that didn't stop her. In fact, she really didn't care; her eyes had closed, her instincts being her only guide through the night. Oddly enough, one thought crossed the dangerous path through the tempestuous whirlwind of her mind. Back at home, she'd been toying with one of the computers in the library one day, fortuitously downloading a radio tuner. She had no idea how it had happened, but she decided to mess with it anyways. She happened upon an American radio station, and there came on a song, a song that left her astonished. The lyrics flooded her mind in its frenzy, until it was the only thought she could focus on...
'Love...was always letting me down
You know what I mean
The man of my dreams
Should know me off my feet
Like you're doin' now bow
Now, you figured it out, boy
How, did you reach down inside and
Find a butterfly, I'm a butterfly
Learning how to fly...'
She shook her head furiously to rid herself of the song lyrics, only to find them continuing to play in her head.
'These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away...oh...'
"Damn it, leave me alone!" she cried out to the night, her voice echoing through the trees. Her cry continued for miles, causing trees to shiver and flocks of birds to storm from the branches in fear. A tree branch had arched itself up, and Yui's foot was soon caught beneath it, making her fall onto her knees and hands. Yui shook, sweat dripping from her brow, and her breathing became a struggle. She took in massive amounts of air, until finally her panting had ceased. She remained out of focus for a few moments, and finally came to when she noticed a few water droplets splattering on the dirt. She was about to conclude it was rain, until she touched her cheek, only to find stray tears that had yet to tumble down to the ground. Yui lifted her head slowly, taking a fleeting look to the night sky through tear-filled eyes, the stars like foam in the waves of the majestic ocean, quivering in its passion. She closed her eyes, brushing the back of her hand across her eyes, ridding them of the neglected tears.
"Oh stars...why does it have to be like this? Why can't Suboshi understand that I can't love him...in that way...?" she solicited to the lustrous speckles that dotted the midnight mass of the beyond. There was a sudden gust of wind, as if in answer to her question. The trees swayed left and right, indicating to her that they believed she did not speak from her heart. She sat there speechless, not being able to believe what she saw. Once again the words to that song rang in her ears from her mind,
'Hard, everyday was so hard
Now don't they go by
Like riding a slide
Get to the end, fly off into the night
Boy, night
Everything is so right boy right
Now I could just circle the moon and
Bring it back to you
Bring it back to you
There's nothing I can't do...'
"...You think I'm lying to myself? That can't be! Sure, I do care about him...but not in that way!" she bellowed to no one in particular. "...I love Nakago. I decided that a long time ago. After Tamahome spoke those...those callous words, I vowed that the only one who cared for me was Nakago. He just has to love me..." she persuaded herself, glancing to the trees for their support. She got nothing in return. Finally, Yui stood, staring off into the distance. "I must see Nakago...and prove to myself that he loves me and only me!" she told herself, hearing the insinuation of hesitation in her voice, but she ignored it and continued her speech, "Soi is out of the picture now, I want him all to myself!"
