Disclaimers: DNAngel and all it's characters belong to Yukiru Sugisaki. I think you've gone through enough of these already to know it by heart so.... On with the story!
I'm waiting for you. I've waited for you for so long now. But I won't give up hope just yet. You've taught me that I should never give up hope on something that's important to me… You are important to me…
I pull out another ribbon from my bag. It's a red ribbon. I fingered the material gently, reminiscing about that time you taught me how to make stars. I remembered your fingers full of life, easily mastering the intricate steps, while I clumsily tried to follow. It took me a long time, but I mastered it. I made a star of ribbon, just like you showed me… I wanted to show you this, but you left. So now I sit here making stars, placing a wish on each one. I hope that you would hurry up and come back. It's not the same without you. Your body may be here beside me, but where has your soul gone? I pray on each and every star I make, that your soul would find its way back home. I miss you so much. There, I thought, another one finished.
I never believed in the magic until you showed me the Magic of Happiness. But the magic disappeared also, when you did. I hope with all my heart that this star will bring you back to me. Now, I'm counting on the Magic of Hope to bring you back.
There's that story of the Japanese girl who made a thousand cranes of paper, to grant her a wish, a wish to become healthy. Although that story had a sad ending, doesn't mean this will too, right? So I promised to make a thousand stars of ribbon, just the way you taught me, to grant my one and only wish: Please come back.
I count down the number stars as I finish them…
3… I hope with all my heart that this star will bring you back to me.
2… I hope with all my heart that this star will bring you back to me.
1… I hope with all my heart that this star will bring you back to me.
I let my gaze land on your face as the final star falls into the container with its kin. I shiver with anticipation as I make my wish again upon all one thousand stars…
…I hope with all my heart that this star will bring you back to me.
The room fills with warmth again, as I see you stir and your soul and heart reunite with mine.
A/N: Actually I thought of it as a Dai/Riku story, but then at the end, I decided against putting in "...Riku!" so that readers could imagine it to be any 2 people they like! It could be Dai/Sato, Dark/Krad, Risa/Riku, Hell, it could be a Daisuke and Krad fic if you like! :D don't forget to review!!
