I whisper into the calm night
A wish that never comes true,
Plagued by memories and dreams of you.
Never ending love and unattainable heart
That shinning apparition, so surreal it cruel.
Even tomorrow seems so far away
Just like our dreams of yesterday
Not that man knows the sliver lining always fades
Into a world of sad decay.
Upon the dreams of youth and age.
I saw you standing there alone
Silhouetted against the devilish glowing of the moon
A passing phase along my root
And all a way to get to you.
To reflect to you a greater sense of me
Just to let you see, how great a person I could be.
Although watching you from far away.
Compares to nothing as this day.
I feel the words like lumps of stone,
Stuck within my throat.
I'm standing here I'm standing prone.
Right before your hands I wait
For punishment and years of hate.
But in it's place, a kiss lay in its wake.
In that sad dream- that dream- of yesterday.
Too many nights spent with the same ending can cause one to become familiar with the same routine of the next morning. Waking up finding a load of teens passed out on a usually empty bed, making breakfast for extra mouths, and an extremely grumpy Kyo.
Kyo sat in the middle of the "family" room with a book in his hands, constantly flipping through the pages. He wasn't quite sure what he was looking for, but all he knew was that he was pist because he couldn't find it. He closed the book and promptly threw it at the wall.
"Kyo don't throw the books around like that." said Shigure who was in the middle of writing something down.
"What for nothing else good will come from them!" Tohru opened the door from her side in the kitchen.
"Oh Kyo can you do me a favorite and call everyone in for breakfast?"
"Sure," the only person he was afraid to wake was Yuki, the guy was just too unpredictable. Might as well just go wakeup Duo, Heero, Trowa, and Hatsuharu. He quickly by passed Yuki's room, there was only one guest room so Haru offered Trowa to share his bed.
Kyo walked over to Haru's room, the boy had come over and spent the night so much that he practically lived there. Kyo stopped short of opening the door when he heard the strange sound of creaking and hushed voices. He turned around and stood at the top of the stairs and looked down with an expression of complete confusion, then walked back to Haru's door. Finally he opened the door and his eyes went wide at what he saw. Haru looked up and saw Kyo.
"Kyo I..." but Kyo had already closed the door and was quickly making his way down the stairs to the living room.
"Kyo did you wake everyone up?" asked Tohru when she saw that Kyo was sitting on the couch with wide eyes.
"They're awake!" replied Kyo automatically. Tohru just smiled and walked back into the kitchen.
"Kyo," Kyo had a panicked look on his face and was quickly trying to find a hasty exit, but Haru and Trowa were already standing in front of him.
"What do you want!" yelled Kyo.
"Just to talk to you." came Haru's calm voice. Trowa stood by the radio and Haru crouched down in front of Kyo.
"Um...," Kyo turned his head to look at Trowa who had a blank look on his face, but was staring directly at him.
"Stop that it's creeping me out!" Trowa just shrugged.
"Look Kyo I just need to explain what it is that you saw."
"I didn't see anything!"
"Kyo, Trowa's parents signed him up to join the army."
"Like that explains why you two were groping each other up stairs!"
"Listen Kyo, Haru and I are in an intimate relationship with one another." said Trowa taking a step to stand next to Haru, while placing a hand on his shoulder, both boys looked directly at Kyo.
"Ah, when did this happen, why are you telling me this, and what the hell will your parents think?" asked Kyo in a rough hushed voice. Scanning the room to see if anyone else had walked into the living room.
"Well to answer your first question, a few days ago when Haru stayed the night at my house, second you walked in on us in his room, and third the army is what my parents think about it." said Trowa running a hand threw his long bangs.
"Oh." said Kyo.
"Don't you think sending him off to the army is a bit temperamental?" asked Haru standing up and turning his head in the direction of the kitchen to see if Tohru had stepped into the living room.
"Are you even using that word right, and why are you telling me this?"
"Like he said you saw us and we just want you to please not tell anyone." said Haru sitting down next to Kyo.
"Why the hell would I?" yelled Kyo jumping up.
"Just making sure." said Trowa taking a seat next to Haru.
"Umm...out of plain curiosity how did your parents find out Trowa?" asked Kyo standing next to the kitchen door.
"They walked in on me and him doing...stuff." said Trowa turning a light shade of red, despite his tan. Kyo thought it was an awkward shade on Trowa, but also he had never seen Trowa blush before in his life, God what was it that would make him blush like that? On second thought he didn't really need to know at all!
Walking in the kitchen he saw Yuki and Tohru talking. Duo was sitting on the counter drinking a tall glass of cranberry juice, which made Kyo wonder exactly when Duo and Yuki had come into the kitchen. He walked over to the fridge and grabbed the milk and poured himself a glass. Heero walked into the kitchen and was rubbing his temples. Tohru took in his state and got him a glass of water and something she felt that would help the pain subside.
"Thank you." said Heero, nodding his head as Tohru gave him the glass. "I don't think I'm going to be able to attend that stupid party." said Hero addressing Duo this time.
"Don't look at me, I'm probably going to be in trouble again when I get home. Why not just give it to him?" said Duo pointing at Kyo.
"Give me what?" asked Kyo finishing off his milk.
"Just an invitation to a party."
"You can't give an invitation away! If I showed up they'll ask what happened to you!"
"Just tell them that you're going in my place, better yet I'll call and tell them you're going in my place. That way no one will ask you why you're there." said Heero downing what was left in his glass.
"But I...I...I won't know anyone there I'll feel weird."
"They'll be some liquor if that helps." said Duo.
"Yeah sure, let me get wasted in front of a bunch of strangers."
"Kyo you never get wasted." said both Heero and Duo at the same time. Kyo just shook his head and left the kitchen.
Later that evening Kyo stood in a mansion with a wine glass in hand. He still trying to figure out how Heero and Duo had managed to convince him into going, but finally decided on just killing them both when he got back. But anyhow the party was ok, in the beginning everyone was talking about politics and how much money they had. It made him wonder why Heero would even want to associate with such people. Then it hit him, just last night Heero had said that he was still trying to find a way to get out of going to something.
"That bastard!" growled Kyo under his breath. Looking around the room he spotted a few abandoned full bottles of "bubbly" as one of the servants called it. He walked over and grabbed two of the bottles and went onto the balcony to gaze at the night sky. When he stepped outside he thought that he would be alone, but leaning on the rail was a young woman wearing a long red dress with matching red gloves covering her hands.
"It's her." whispered Kyo as he stood staring at the girl in surprise. Before he could register what it was that he was doing he had walked up to her and set the bottles on the rail right next to her elbows that rested on it.
"It's a beautiful night isn't it?" said Kyo looking up at the sky. She turned and saw the blush on his face and smiled.
"Yes, yes it is Kyo." said Noir still looking at Kyo. She placed her hand on Kyo's and looked back at him and smiled. "I don't remember seeing your name on the invite list, but I'm glad you're here."
"It's a friends fault that I'm actually here, I was about ready to cuss him out left and right for it too when I got back."
"And now?"
"Not so much now." he smiled, he couldn't figure out why he was smiling so much, but it felt good. Everything felt right at this moment.
"Kyo?"
"Hm?"
"Have you ever heard that if you run into someone three times in the same day it's fate?"
"Yeah."
"Well," she paused for a brief moment and then turned her gaze back at the sky, "I know we haven't run into each other three times, but I always liked two better than three."
"We never met twice in the same day." Kyo looked at her while she laughed. It wasn't a mocking laugh it was soft and gentle, just like her touch.
"I never said we met twice in the same day, all I said was that I liked two better than three."
"Than what did you mean?"
"It's how many times I think of you in an hour." She smiled.
"Oh...that's a lot."
"Kyo, I know we just met, but I feel like I...well I've never felt this comfortable before." she looked at Kyo's face and he had this confused look on his countenance so she decided to elaborate for him. "What I mean is that I've never felt so comfortable with a complete stranger before."
"Me either, all my life I've been surrounded by my family well actually just my cousins, but still they're family I guess."
"Why aren't you living with your parents, if you don't mind my asking?" she turned her head and looked at Kyo's face.
His eyes looked distant, like he was trying to watch a scene from far away. His eyes shifted into an expression of sadness and she could see a light gleam of unused tears, but just as quickly as it came his enter body language and facial expression changed into an unwavering mask of complete calm and casualness.
"I really don't know what happened to my father, all I've ever had was my mother, but she committed suicide when I was young. I'm not sure why she did ...maybe she just felt that life wasn't worth living without Dad by her side."
"How sad."
"The only sad part to that it is that I can't remember either of their faces, but in a way I guess I could care less, since neither of them wanted to stick around."
"Well where ever they are I'm sure that they're proud of how you turned out."
"Ha, yeah I'm sure." said Kyo bitterly.
Kyo cast his gaze toward the street below, he saw a yellow car stop in front of the building where they were at. Then he looked back at Noir she looked annoyed as she lifted her gaze from the street beneath them.
"Kyo, I'm really sorry, but I have to go."
"Is it because of them?" asked Kyo pointing at the car.
"Not that it's any of your business, but yes."
"Why are they looking for you?"
"That's none of your concern. Now I have to leave." she turned to leave, but Kyo caught her by the wrist and turned her around to face him.
"It is my concern!"
"How's that!" she asked roughly.
"Because...I lo...I think," he started to blush and cursed slightly under his breath. "damnit...I like you!"
She looked at him with a blank expression on her face staring directly into Kyo's eyes as if trying to decipher if his words were true. She sighed as she closed her eyes, then she took a step forward and placed a hand on his cheek and opened her eyes.
"Hear my soul speak: the very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly to your service." (1) she whispered then leaned into kiss him softly. "Kyo I l..."
Both Kyo and Noir heard the sound of a door closing. Noir dropped quickly to the ground holding onto Kyo's pant-legs. All the while she had this panicked look in her eyes as she scanned the ground. Lifting her head up to stare at Kyo she smiled, but Kyo could see the pain that lay laced within her simple gesture of impregnable confidence.
"What are you doing?"
"Is there anyone still in the car?" Kyo looked over the ledge and then looked back at Noir.
"Yes, why?"
"Damn!" she got up and walked over to the side of the building and looked over the edge. Seeing a steel latter on the side she took off her heels and put them in her purse and started to climb over the side.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" hissed Kyo hurrying over the side.
"I'm sorry Kyo, but I have to go. Bye."
"Wait I'm going too!" Kyo quickly jumped over the edge and placed his feet on the latter immediately as Noir had stepped foot on the cobblestone and hid in the shadows. Just as Kyo was taking his first few steps down the latter, the terrace doors flew open and out walked the same guys he saw from last time. His eyes widened and he lost his footing and slipped down the rest of the way. Then was enveloped into a world of darkness and soundless fear.
