Kan Liryan Kamwaze [Five Impossible Things]

Disclaimer: Suboshi, Yui, Amiboshi, Nakago, and Tamahome belong to Yuu Watase. Not a bit of them are mine. Five things that never happened to Suboshi, based off of Manon's quintette, "Five Things That Never Happened to Grantaire".

He could feel her almost-fear in her warm body, pressed against the tree. He regretted it, wanted to let her go, but she didn't *listen*, and he needed her to.

The man she called protector was a lying bastard, Seiryuu damn it, and she had no right to believe the things *he* told her. The shogun was dragging her down, using her every action, twisting her every emotion into some new idea for power.

This was no life for her, and if he could stop it, he would. But she never listened to his words, the truth he spoke in pure hope it would save her. Well...perhaps not pure hope. Perhaps also because he longed for her, and prayed she would turn to him if she no longer believed Nakago. Foremost, though, it was that she be allowed to have her own dreams, dreams that didn't belong to someone else.

He opened his mouth, ready to speak, ready to explain his actions, willing her to understand, to see him and know he only wanted to help her, steeling himself for the slap and the anger and the refusal to open her beautiful blue-green eyes...

But as his lips parted, hers met them, and his words died with a gasp. Her arms were no longer to hold him away, but to draw him closer. She didn't try to run, but stayed, tensed in ecstasy. The kiss was heaven, soft and beautiful and loving, and her mouth was so *perfect*.

And in the whole world, there was only the two of them.
