Summary: What was going through Kira Sakuya's head when he rescued Sara and Setsuna from the police at the airport?
Can I Be A Little Selfish?
ANGEL SANCTUARY FANFICTION
Can I be a little selfish? Can I pretend for one moment that you love me and not her? Can I ask that you realize that I've been here for you since time immemorial, ever since your fall from grace? Protecting you from the enemies that lurk within the shadows of their power? Can I ask you to remember our days together, me as your devoted sword and once your devoted suitor? Can I be a little selfish?
***
I watched as you strode into the airport with that careless artlessness that was you, all you. You called out to your sister and told her that you want her to run away with you to find a place that would not condemn you for your love. Maybe I should have waited then. Waited until the police managed to separate the two of you. Waited until your mother had time to take her away to a suitor she didn't want. Then, maybe, just maybe, I would have had a chance with you.
I should have pretended to arrive too late to rescue you then. Just a few moments, it wouldn't have mattered to me either way. It was possible that the resulting ruckus over me would have kept you and your other friends occupied until she was safely married off. I could have done it that way. You would have run to me for comfort as you always have done, and I…I could have you, then.
Slowly but surely, I could have weaned you from your forbidden love, your sister. You and I have a long history, I know that you must know somewhere deep inside your soul that we do. The warmth lets me continue. Continue to follow you even when I find out, almost always, that I'm too late to save you, too late to even make you understand the full extent of my devotion. I could have eventually given you happiness that I so dearly wanted to give you. I know I could have but I didn't. I wanted you to be happy now because tomorrow is never guaranteed, and so, I paid the price. I missed the chance and probably missed it forever. So, I dream and in my dreams, we are together, embracing forever.

Author's Notes:
This has been in my hard disk for four months. I just had to get it out.
Actually, this is suppose to continue to an alternate reality where he rescues Setsuna just a bit late…but I got way too many unfinished stories to continue it yet. I hate martyrs, don't you? I can see it now, Setsuna asking Kira why he didn't come sooner and Kira saying, in a cute manner "Oops!"
Progress Report:
Since only Raven's Pendant
got a couple of votes to continue, it's the one that's coming out. "Unsaid
Oaths" is growing a bit. "In Season" is wickedly blocked but
is getting a page or two.
