Back To You: chapter 2

Arashi felt warm as she snuggled against her lover's cotton sweater. She clung to the soft material and let out a sigh. She could stay in his arms forever until the day she died.

His hand traveled up her back and came to rest on her cheek. She gazed up into his honey brown eyes and became lost in an endless swirl of chestnut.

"Sorata-san... ore wa..." she began, but he silence her with a finger over her lips. "Nee-chan..."

He tilted his head to the side and pulled her closer to him. Before their lips could touch, he began to fade away. "S-Sorata-san!"

His image became faint and ghost-like. "Nee-chan... Ashiteru..." was the last thing he said before he disappeared into a burst of sakura petals.

"SORATA-SAN!"

Arashi sprang up in bed and began to cry. "S-Sorata-san..."

*~*~*

Arashi sat quietly on her living room loveseat, waiting for a call that would change her life forever. A dove flew past the window with grace and landed swiftly on the windowsill.

// Spend all your time waiting // // For that second chance //

It had been two months since the final battle, two of the longest months of her life. She did well in those two months. She found an apartment in Tokyo that was up for rent. Kaede-sama had lent her some money, which she will soon be able to pay back. She wished she hadn't though. Kaede-sama had already done so much for her.

// For the break that will make it ok //

// There's always some reason // // To feel not good enough //

She had found a job at a library in a public school, which was to read to the kids in the primary grades. She'd smile when some of the kids from the older kids came to hear her read. They always seemed to remind her of someone. Being called "Kishu-san" needed some getting used to. She still missed being called "Nee-chan" though...

// And it's hard at the end of the day //

// I need some distraction // // Or a beautiful release //

She still missed Sorata. She missed him so much. She still cried at night when he was all he could think of. She didn't want to be alone anymore. Thought it seemed she was alone again.

// Memories seep from my veins //

// Let me be empty // // And weightless and maybe //

Tears began to fall lightly down her cheeks. The dove on her windowsill flew away, leaving her tears to fall freely. Her sobs echoed in the room, extending into the open kitchen.

// I'll find some peace tonight //

She buried her face in her hands as memories flooded back to her.

// In the arms of the angel // // Far away from here //

The time they met...

// From this dark, cold hotel room // // And the endlessness that you fear //

The time they cooked a meal together...

// You are pulled from the wreckage // // Of your silent revelry //

And the time...

// You're in the arms of the angel // // May you find some comfort here //

There came a knock on the door and a high-pitched voice came from the other side, "Arashi-san! It's me, Yuzuriha~desu!" Arashi wiped the tears away from her eyes and got to her feet. "Come in"

// So tired of the straight line // // And everywhere you turn //

The young girl opened the door and bounded over to Arashi, closely followed by Inuki. She gave her a big hug and started to ramble on about how she missed her and how she got here and etc. When she let go she handed a bouquet of flowers to Arashi. Arashi regarded them with surprise. "A-Arigatou Yuzuriha..."

// There's vultures and thieves at your back //

// The storm keeps on twisting // // You keep on building the lies //

The young girl suddenly had a sympathetic look on her face. "Have you been crying... Arashi-san?" the girl asked.

// That you make up for all that you lack //

// It don't make no difference // // Escaping one last time //

"N-No!" she denied. Arashi turned around to the kitchen to find a vase. She filled the vase with water and carefully placed the flowers in it. Inuki followed her and began nudging her legs. "Inuki! Stop that! Gomennasai, Arashi-san..."

// It's easier to believe //

// In this sweet madness // // Oh this glorious sadness //

They were interrupted by the sound of a telephone ringing. "Excuse me, Yuzuriha..." Arashi walked back into the living room and picked up the receiver.

// That brings me to my knees //

"Moshi moshi?" she said. There was a pause on the other end. "Is this Arashi Kishu?" a female voice came. "H-Hai..."

// In the arms of the angel // // Far away from here //

The conversation was quick before she put the receiver back on the hook. Arashi walked towards the window. "Arashi-san... daijobu ka?" Yuzu- chan asked. Arashi began to shudder silently.

// From this dark, cold hotel room // // And the endlessness that you fear //

Tears began to slid down her face again as even more memories flooded back.

// You are pulled from the wreckage // // Of your silent revelry //

"Arashi-san!" Yuzuriha cried as she rushed to the young maiden's side. "Arashi-san what's wrong?!" Arashi looked over to the young girl by her side. "I'm scared... I don't know if I can do this without Sorata by my side..." she murmured. "Do what?"

// In the arms of the angel // // May you find some comfort here //

"Yuzuriha... I'm pregnant..."

// You're in the arms of the angel // // May you find some comfort here //
