from Rush' "Sweet Miracle"
3. The Miracle
Oh, salvation
Oh, salvation
Oh, salvation
Oh, salvation
Frightened, he opens his eyes from a nightmare. All his muscles stiffened, he looks around and sees nothing but his room and the things that were supposed to be there -and only them. Whiping the sweat from his forehead, he gets up and goes downstairs, meaning not to make any noise.
Allarmed, she opens her eyes for she heard footsteps outside. Very softly, but she's sure of what her ears had made her wake up for. "If someone is trying not to be heard, then it must be a thief!" she thinks to herself while getting her kunai and tiptoeing outside her room. She gets downstairs to see a shadow standing by the door and getting out sneakly. "Kansatsu Tobikunai!!!!"
The shadow bents, then struggles a little before stumbling on a dry branch and falling on the ground. Cheering, she jumps over the slender fallen figure. "Gotcha! It's over, you thief!"
"Misao, get out from my top..." The man on the floor cries out, turning his head, making the girl bug her eyes on astonishment.
"A-A-A-Aoshi-sama?" she stutters. "Sorry, I didn't see it was you, I thought it was a crook, a burglar, or even a kidnapper, but I-I-I--"
"It is OK, Misao. Stop jabbering." he moans, helping her pick her kunai from the ground. When she had gathered all her weapons, he gets up and means to walk away, but she follows him while he heads to the trees.
"Do you want anything?" He wags silently. She keeps on running behind him as he strides. "Where are you going?"
"I do not know yet."
"Did you have a nightmare?"
He halts. "How did thou know?"
"I imagined. Why on earth would you sneak out of the Aoi-ya to but to run away from yourself--" she says naturally, then gasps, her hands in front of her mouth. Aoshi looks her sideways. "Sorry, I didn't mean to--"
"Forget." he roars. Silence. The both of them stand facing each other, none of them having the guts to look at the other's eyes.
"Why can't you stop?" Misao spits the question. Aoshi smirks hopelessly. "It's so useless! Can't you see?"
Aoshi turns his back to Misao. She stretches her arm and her fingers touch his shoulder. Quickly he turns and slaps her hand away. Before she could wide her eyes, he kisses her outburstingly, holding both sides of her face.
Ceasing their contact, Aoshi turns back again. "Get back to Aoi-ya." She turns round to leave, yet amazed.
She halts. "Aoshi-sama" she calls him, turning her head and leaning her chick on her shoulder. "I think you should fly."
"Maybe one day." he answers, without turning to her. "Thank thee for bounding my wings."
I wasn't praying for magic
I was hiding in plain sight
Rising up from the surface
To fly into the light, into the light
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle of life
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle of life
.:Author's Notes:. Hey, there. I hope this one has done its bit. ^_^ This fic made me strike twice, because I wanted to write a songfic based on Rush's songs -yet I'm not satisfyed!- and I had just finished "La Vie en Noir", so I really NEEDED to write some WAFFy A+M stuff. My heart got so heavy (I'll say no more, cuz maybe there's somebody who hadn't read it...)! Hope you enjoyed it. Suggestion? Cursing on me? Please, review and let me know!
