Shooting Star
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon
A/N: This story was only meant to be one chapter, but seeing as a reviewer wanted a second chapter, I think I'll oblige their wishes. Besides, there should be MORE Ophanimon/Seraphimon fics out there in the world! They rule!
The song in this chapter is 'Chijou no Seiza' from the OVA 'Eikou Den' of Fushigi Yuugi.

//You are surely my courage
You are surely my light//
She was there, in that prison, looking as glorious as the day they had first met. She held her head high, proud of who she was and what she stood for. The very image of courage and beauty, one ruled by wisdom and equality. An angel - a beautiful bird-like creature - trapped inside an impenetrable cage, left to her fate.
He came to visit her every day, but she was either unspeaking, or spoke only of the old times, when they had been peacekeepers of the digital world. Neither of the topics was very appealing to him and it angered him immensely when she spoke of the other one. He hated Seraphimon with a passion he never thought he'd had before. It was worse when she had that gentle, glowing light in her eyes as she spoke of the other.
"Stop talking about him!" he once yelled. "I don't want to hear it!"
"But you have greatly misunderstood our intentions," she replied. "Seraphimon and I have never been prejudice against you or your kind."
"You lie! I know he looks down on me and tries to convince you to as well!"
He stormed off and left her to her thoughts.
--------
//The beam of light I found inside the darkness . . .
Came from your gentle eyes which looked at me
With a tenderness that made me want to cry . . .
It softly showed me a reason to live//
She spent most of her time using her remaining powers to guide the humans she had brought into the digital world. If she wasn't doing that, she was hoping, praying and believing that they would rescue Seraphimon. Her belief and her memories kept her patience running and her mind clear of the hopelessness of the situation.
Several of her memories included the first time she had met Seraphimon, on the battlefield. He had been protecting several rookie-level Digimon from Lucemon's army, when someone else had decided to strike from behind. A foul trick. She fended them off, having gotten rid of the one who had been bothering her.
Her mind wandered to the night he had asked for her trust. That night, his voice had been so gentle and caring, it was as if he really understood. Maybe he did, after all, he had been a ruler of his own kind for as long as she had. But his voice had always been pleasant to listen to. It always held pride in his work and in the accomplishments of the digital world. It was also because his voice was so pleasant and stirring that she turned him down. She had believed that he had had experience with these matters and could easily pretend that he understood. If it had been so, she would have been hurt.
The second time, they had been in a similar position, only that she had sought his comfort. He had given it, willingly, which had finally proven that he meant what he had said before. It was as if the sun itself shone from within his presence and warmed her very soul. She felt stronger, being with him.
--------
//Even if we part, even if we are separated,
My heart will fly towards you.
You are surely my wings.
Your love is the constellations over the earth//
The human children came to her, much later on. When she saw them, her heart filled with a mix of hope and dread. He was not with them. An overwhelming sense of loss overcame her and she almost broke down in tears. Nefertimon, her most prided companion, noticed her mistress' anguish at the revelation.
"We woke Seraphimon," one of the children explained. "But then we got attacked and, because Seraphimon tried to protect us, he became - "
They showed her Patamon. Even if they hadn't told her who it belonged to, she would have known. Only one could have an aura like that even in their rookie state. She fought for control as Patamon and the children asked her for the reason why she was a prisoner. They had seen her as a statue in Seraphimon's castle and were curious as to why she had been taken here.
"I will tell you my tale," she said after a moment. "And of why you are all here."
As her mind and her lips formed the words of their tragic story, Ophanimon's heart grieved. So he had gone - and she hadn't got a last word with him. As the tale progressed and they reached Cherubimon's betrayal, she was pained. More so, when the human girl-child 'hit the nail on the head', so to speak.
"I wonder if it was because Cherubimon liked Ophanimon," she whispered to her friends.
"Only girls could think of that, Zoe," her companion hissed.
--------
//If I try to walk on alone, my heart becomes cold.
I cannot return to the way that I was before we met.
This painful feeling of love I have,
Are they for eternity?//
Cherubimon burst in just as the children hacked away at her barriers. He attacked them with a ferocity she had never seen before, except when he had near-destroyed Seraphimon. His kindness and patience of old had disappeared and it had been replaced by an evil so strong, she could not bear.
"DIE!" he roared, launching his fatal attack.
"No!"
--------
//No matter what happens, no matter who interferes
I will continue only believe in your eyes
You are surely my courage
You are surely my light//
With a sudden burst of power she never knew, Ophanimon shattered the remaining beams of light, which made up her prison. The pieces fell to the floor, illuminating the chamber and her stately presence. She had borne her captivity with grace and pride, nursing her heaviness of spirit and longing for someone she could not have. Now she was free.
"You shall not harm these children!"
--------
//If you ever get hurt, then I want to raise both my hands
Like wings into the sky and protect you . . .
The sorrow that overflows from my chest
Wets my cheeks softly, but . . .//
She hadn't been able to wait for him and now he was gone. Not entirely, but physically gone, nevertheless. Her only hope were the children - and she had to protect them, even if it meant sacrificing herself. At least if she went back to her unborn state, she would not have to live with the pain Cherubimon had caused her.
He had promised to help her.
He didn't.
He was gone.
And she had nothing but the children to live for.
"Good luck, legendary warriors."
They'd be together again.
--------
//Even if we part, even if we are separated,
My heart will fly towards you.
You are surely my wings.
Your love is the constellations over the earth//

A/N: there, finished. Okay, so this chapter wasn't as good as the first, but does that matter?
