Heero: Really?*smile*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora's heart raced as she spun from Mitsukake without a word, her head spun with images and shattered dreams. Sora's first thought was to find Nuriko... but... How could she tell her dear friend that she was having her enemy's child? Sora ran to the garden... The only place she knew of to have peace... Night had fallen when she reached it, the world was cast in shadow with the tiny bit of moon peeking out behind the cloud laden sky. The trees in the garden moved with the soft breeze, silver leaves crashed together in mourning, they felt her pain... She headed for the roses, her favorite flower.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora sat in the garden her head in her hands, lips trembling, her body shook with emotion, yet no tears spilled from her moist eyes. She looked down at a small white flower growing on the path.
"So small...So young...You're journey's just begun..." Suzaku's words from long ago echoed in her head, over and over again. She had something inside of her, a child. Nakago's child. Sora's jaw clenched with anger. Why him? Why HIM??? Her eyes shut tight and she brushed her hair back from her face; taking a deep breath she began to sing in a sweet soprano voice that would shame anyone,
" I can't stand to fly..."
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotohori entered the garden eyes shining, dark hair pulled into a loose ponytail, attracted by a lone voice in the wane light of the cresent moon... It was Sora, sitting on a stone bench, her lips forming intricate words in a tongue he did not understand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane..."
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy, to be me...
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sora watched the thin sliver of the moon her hand clasping her necklace... Hotohori stepped forward behind her watching as a crystal tear slipped off her cheek. Hotohori frowned deeply and reached for her only to pull his hand back. Little did he know that tear, was the first in nearly five years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It may sound absurd...but don't be naive...
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotohori sat beside Sora, not even touching her. She was motionless except for her pink lips and the tears spilling over her long dark eyelashes. Her head was tilted back revealing her pale neck. Her blonde hair rose around her face, she saw nothing, heard nothing, just her song. To the world... She was oblivious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a girl in a silly blue sheet
Digging for hope and love on this one way street..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotohori wrapped his arm around Sora pulling her into his lap, her head tucked between his neck and shoulder. Sora, not even realizing, curled closer to Hotohori who rubbed her back soothingly as he could. Hotohori suddenly had the strange urge to protect Sora from whtever bothered her, even though he wanted to fight what he couldn't see. All he wanted was to protect her... That was his one and only thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Only a girl in a funny blue sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me... "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the song ended Sora buried her head against Hotohori's chest remorsefully, when the song ended so did her anger...yet sadness remained. Then she opened her eyes finally realizing she was was next to someone and stiffened. She pulled back to see who she wa curled against. She was relieved to see Hotohori but also sad, he'd probably ask what was wrong... and she'd want to. But he didn't... All he did was give her a tired little smile.
"Daijbou?" he asked softly. Sora sniffed and looked down shaking her head. Hotohori pulled her closer, Sora stiffened once again... Only to sink closer with the weariness her tears had cost her... Not long after she fel asleep. Hotohori was content to watch her so long as she let him...
Taitsukun watched from above with a smile on her wrinkled face.
"Little tenshi... Soon you'll be happy... At least for a short while.
