Shlick!
"Ugh…!" Obelisk cried as his eyes stared straight ahead. His mouth was open a tiny bit in surprise and his whole body twitched. "No-no!" he cried. "I…" But I said nothing as I pushed my sword deeper into his heart, twisting it a few times to get the point to him. "I am…" Obelisk began, but he never finished and he dropped to the floor on his side, dead. "Now…" I said at the fallen figure as white began to cloud the eyes. "Now you'll never hurt anyone…or me…ever again." And then I turned and began to walk away.
***
If I let go of your hand clasped in mine, With that, it would all probably come to an end right now. What I wanted to know, and even what hurts me-
Even those were left undone.
I sat facing the forest as I reflected on what Yami had said to me earlier.
*** (Celtic flashback)
"Celtic?" Yami asked me as I sat back against a tree, trying to catch a nap. "Celtic, are you awake?" Slowly fluttering my eyes open, I stared at the adult Yami, the spell on her to make her grow still not broken. "Yami!" I exclaimed sitting up. "Hey, what's new?" But Yami only smiled softly and sadly, giving me a worried feeling growing by the second. "Celtic…" she said as the breeze gently blew her hair back. "I wanted to tell you. Osiris and Ra found a way to break the spell on me."
Even though I should want to wish For you to find happiness, I can't, I'm too immature.
I wipe the tears, but they still keep flowing.
Her childhood…
"Wow Yami, that's great!" I said happy for her. "Now you can get back all the lost years before the Obelisk took them away from you." But Yami only frowned and shook her head. "No!" She cried suddenly, turning to me and grabbing my shoulders, her eyes bright with sadness. "Celtic, it's not like that!" she cried. "It means…to regain my lost years…I have to go back to my world… And I don't know how to come back! Osiris and Ra won't tell me!"
Sayonara.
I love you
More than anyone else.
Even more deeply than the sky
Don't cry.
We'll meet again, right?
But not being able to see you is something that only I know about
Yami has to leave?
No!
No, I can't!
I can't let her go!
I can't lose another loved one…!
"No…" I whispered as I stared back into Yami's eyes, her tears of sadness beginning to run. "…No…I…" Grabbing her shoulders into a tight hug, I gripped her tightly against me. "NOO!" I cried as tears formed in my eyes as well. "No, I can't let you go! I won't! I need you to be here with me! Why can't you stay? What's wrong?" Feeling Yami sigh and hug me back, she whispered without expression, "Because I have to make up lost time…Celtic I'm sorry. I have to leave in an hour"
NO!
Losing it, I broke away, feeling tears come down, Yami calling after me, I ran into the woods to be alone.
*** (End flashback)
This fate that we've chosen... Someday you too will understand its true meaning. The treasure of memories that we've made
Will always live on deep inside my heart.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why does she have to go and leave me?
As I sat there, crying my eyes out in silence, I didn't even hear Dark come up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Celtic?" he asked. "Celtic are you alright? Yami will be leaving soon. Don't you want to say goodbye?" Shaking my head furiously, I squeezed my eyes shut in vain to keep the tears from coming again. "No!" I wailed as Dark sat down next to me. "I never want to say goodbye! I hate it! I hate Yami!" Shaking his head, Dark put a hand on my trembling shoulder. "Celtic…" he said sadly. "I know you don't hate Yami. You love her. And you should say goodbye. Please?"
Yami…
I said nothing as Dark got up and left. "Think about it." He said as he disappeared. "Maybe…you should tell her. Before it's too late." Snapping my eyes open, I stared at the ground under me. "I…" I whispered to myself. "I don't want to say…"
I thought it was a beautiful thing, The word called hope. In an almost painful embrace,
I'm looking up at you.
"Celtic…"
Hearing a voice above me, I looked up to see…
Her…
Floating in the sky above me, she was smiling, an aurora of blue and gold shone around her. "Celtic…" she said as she flew down beside me. "Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Staring in shock, I said nothing as She sat down, staring into my eyes. "You should tell her…tell Yami…" She said. "Don't worry about me. I know you love Yami now. And that's ok. I just wanted you to know." Silently I watched her with increasing sadness, wishing I could move. But she continued. "Go tell her goodbye Celtic…" she said facing me and taking my crying face in her hands. "Tell her…"
Then she vanished into the air.
Shooting up like a bullet, I dashed out of there with only one thing on my mind…
Tell Yami…
Arigatou. I love you More than anyone else.
Even more strongly than dreams.
***
As I flew into a clearing, I saw her…
Yami was already in a pillar of silver light, her feet begin slowly lifted off the ground…
"YAMI!" I cried tears flying. "NO WAIT!"
She turned, her head…
She was crying…
"Yami!" I cried running to her. "I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye earlier! I just didn't want to believe you had to go! Please wait! Yami, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" "Celtic!" Yami cried as I reached up and grabbed her hand, catching her in the nick of time. Keeping a firm grip on her hand, I gently pulled her down a bit, feeling the resistance of the pulling light. "Yami!" I cried as I pulled her closer. "I haven't told you…!"
This is it…
"I love you!" I cried as we touched.
Hold me. Don't let go. But don't utter
Even a single thing...
And then the force of the light pulling Yami up to her world was too great. I lost my grip. I lost my grip and I felt myself being pulled back down to the horrible dirt. "Yami!" I cried looking up. Yami said nothing as I stared into her eyes. "I…" she finally said after a while. "I know. She told me so…my other half…you're fiancee." "Yami!" I cried as I stared up at her, feeling my heart break a bit. "I…" but I could not finish. It was too hard to watch her slip away from me. All this time, and I wanted more. "Celtic!" Yami cried as she smiled as a flash of light surrounded her for a minute, changing her back into her younger self. "Don't forget…I love you more than anyone!" Looking back up at Yami, I smiled. "I won't forget. I never will." I promised. "I love you Yami."
Don't cry…
Good bye Yami…
"I love you!"
Don't cry.
I love you.
Even though we're separated far apart,
I can still live with you.
***
I wandered around the areas where Yami and I spent time together.
I grinned as I remembered the silver light as I stared up at the place where I found Yami.
I shuddered as I stood in the forest where we fought the Silver Fangs.
I almost cried when I visited the city.
I sighed as I stared ahead in the grassy field where Yami had left me.
It had been a year now in our time and it seemed like forever to me. I had gotten around all right. Eating when I got hungry, sleeping when I got tired. But I was lonely. And I wondered…
"Celtic…"
Hearing Dark behind me, I grinned. "So Dark the mosquito." I said. "Come to bother me again?" But Dark shook his head as he watched me, his wounds fully healed. As well as mine. "No." he said. "I was just at the place where I first saw Yami. In the forest with the Silver Fangs. It's been a whole year now. I still can't believe it." Nodding, I smiled. "Yeah." I said. "And I have no idea how I'm going to live like this." Turning back around and staring that the sky, I smiled. "I can feel her love to me from here. Even through this distance. I know I still own a place in her heart." Dark grinned as he poked me with his wand. "Ooo…Celtty's in looove! Celtty's in looove!" Swiping a hand at Dark and missing, I glared. "Hey watch it." I warned. But Dark waved his hands in the air. "Hey chill out." He said. "I was only playing. But really. The gods Ra and Osiris have left for the sky too. Can you believe it? Us? Soul counterparts of the gods? Incredible. Well…I have to go. See you later Celtty."
What?
"Why you little…" I growled. But Dark had vanished again. "Damn you Dark Magician." I growled as I sat back down. Sighing, I stared ahead and closed my eyes.
Yami…
"Yami…" I whispered as a single tear streaked down my face and hit the ground. "I wish you were here…"
I wish with all my heart…
Gods, please grant me this one thing…
I've lost two loves.
One to death…
And one to decision…
I don't want to be alone…
***
"I want to be with Celtic…I love him…"
***
"You must learn to love someone with all your heart. Say the words of love. Others must learn their own spells and songs as well. You must learn that you cannot always be alone. Even after others have gone, you must learn to accept other. Only then will the silver light come back."
***
Then, to my amazement, a pillar of silver light shot down from the sky and landed right in front of me, making me jump to my feet and shield my eyes. "Hey!" I yelled. "Who's there?!"
What's going on?!
Then, the light slowly formed into a girl with her back turned to me, her long dark hair to her waist and her white tunic and black shoes shifted with her.
Is it…?
"You?" I asked warily as I got up. "Can it be…?"
"Wow…" the girl muttered. "I get my college degree a week before and now I'm here! Do all students have to go through this?!" the girl asked as she turned around, a millennium eye the color silver made into a necklace hanging on her spun with her. Then, as she saw me, she smiled in shock. "Celtic…?" she asked as I stared in happy amazement. "Is that you?"
It's you…
I don't believe it…
But it is…
Running up to the girl, I happily embraced her and kissed her full on the lips. "It's you…" I whispered happily as I held the girl in my arms as she smiled and rested her head on my shoulder. "I love you…"
Now I'll never be alone.
