If Life Is So Short
A songfic by Tsukino Kage Spectre based on the song of the same title performed by the Moffats starring Iori Yagami of 'King of Fighters' by SNK.
***
(Iori is walking alone at night on another street somewhere in Japan looking for Kyo...)
Isn't it funny
(... he doesn't look where he's going and bumps into someone of whom is seen a flash of blue...)
How time seems to slip away so fast?
(... looking up, he sees Leona who looks a little cross at him...)
One minute your happy the other your sad
(... he helps her up, apologizing, noticing that she's out of her usual attire and in some more 'civilian' clothes: blue jeans and a white T-shirt.)
But if you give me one more chance
(She brushes off...)
To show my Love for you is true
(... thanks him and leaves...)
I'll stand by your side, your whole life through
(... and Iori finds himself staring longingly at her back.)
If life is so short
(Shaking his head, he leaves...)
Why won't you let me love you
(... and the camera pans to show the night sky full of stars, now with images in them, hologram like, of Iori and Leona. A montage appears of the two meeting again in the mornings...)
Before we run out of time?
(... the picture slides to reveal them talking in a cafe...)
If love is so strong
(... feeding birds together at the park...)
Why won't you take the chance
(... going to a carnival...)
Before our time has come?
(... and sharing a moonlit walk near the sea shore ending with a soft kiss.)
If life is so short.
(Iori gets on his knees and holds a ring out to her...)
If life is so short.
(... and she glomps him and they kiss.)
Love is a word that explains how I feel for you
(Iori wakes up in bed with a picture of Leona by his side...)
And when your in my arms all my dreams come true
(... and that scene fades to one of Leona also waking to see an image of Iori by her bedside...)
And when your not around you can't hardly see
(Knocks on the door to Leona's room are heard, and Heidern comes in...)
These tears that I'm crying now
(... seeing his daughter smile and get teary eyed at a picture of Yagami, he sees his vision go red, as does the view in the camera, but otherwise keeps a neutral face...)
Are for you to be with me
(... she turns to him and he sees the ring on her finger, much to his shock.)
If life is so short
(We see a scene of Iori running away from a pack of angry men, Heidern in the lead with an AK-47, though Ralf and Clark are next with their own rifles. The picture shifts...)
Why won't you let me love you
(... only to show Leona similarly running from a swarm of maddened women, Vice in the lead.)
Before we run out of time?
(The two meet, and trapped in the middle hide in a nearby building, which turns out to be a chapel...)
If love is so strong
(... as the people outside clash and fight.)
Why won't you take the chance
(The people stop fighting once Heidern and Vice are downed, but not unconscious...)
Before our time has come?
(... the crowd disperses while Clark and Ralf carry the two into the chapel...)
If life is so short.
(... only for all four to stop dead at seeing Iori in a tux and Leona in a wedding dress kissing.)
If life is so short.
(And all four scream as the two smile at them.)

Author's Notes
And we have another WAFFy romance between Leona and Iori, the kind of stuff I like. This, like my previous work "A Man Against the World" was inspired by RedPriest17's own songfics. They're worth checking out on his page.
