The sweetest pain of all
Summary: Dragons talking about their beloved ones. Mostly Yuzuriha/Kusanagi- fic.
Disclaimer: I don't own X, the characters or the plot... TT
A.N.: This fiction will include Arashi, Yuzuriha, Karen, Kakyou and Kusanagi. I know
Subaru and Seishiro have some problems with their love, too, but as there are
enough fictions about them, they won't occur in this one. Please don't count
spelling and grammar mistakes, I'm still German
Chapter I – The Angels
Sighing slightly he looked down to the fragile frame on the bed. That white- haired boy didn't seem to be sleeping – he WAS sleeping, although he could still hear every single word. "Why did you call me here, Kakyou?" The boy's eyes opened, slowly, focusing the tall man next to his bed. His face was a reflection of pure pain and sorrow. "I guess you already know, by the way you look..." The dreamgazer sighed a bit. "It's about that little Dragon of Heaven girl" "Yuzuriha..."
Kakyou smiled slightly at the sound of the name. "Your little Missy... You know you shouldn't..." "...love her?" Kusanagi murmured, ending the line. "I know she's too good for such a ridiculous liar like me." The dreamgazers smile faded, as he realized the sadness in the soldiers voice. "I wouldn't say that. It's just... First of all, she is a 14 year old student and you are..." "19, thanks for reminding me that everyone thinks I was 30."
A long silence filled the room, before Kakyou's eyes focused the ceiling again. "And secondly, she's a Dragon of Heaven." Kusanagi's eyes narrowed. Kakyou was right but... "I just enjoyed the time with her so much. She's such an adorably cute, lively girl... Even her duties as a Seal don't ruin her good mood, although she really lives her part in the end of the world with every single consequence." He felt a strong pain running through his chest, while Kakyou closed his eyes, a sad expression on his face. Kusanagi tried to suppress a slight giggle. "But I know I'm acting selfish again." He turned to the dreamgazer. "So you want me to stop dating her, don't you." "No, I don't." He looked at the soldier again and smiled at his shocked face. "Actually I can understand your way of thinking: I also knew a girl like your Missy.
She was around the same age, when she died, and as friendly and lively as your girl. Besides, her brother is one of the Seals, too. I knew she was in danger, I could even see her death in one of my dreams, but I wasn't able to help her. I had to watch her getting killed by one of us Angels and to be honest, I'm afraid the same might happen to your Missy. KAMUI seems to be a little bit too interested in her for a few days now."
He focused Kusanagi's face, searching for a reaction, but there was nothing. Nothing but that cold, painful look – a sign of endless conflict tearing his heart apart. "So, what do you want then? Why did you call me here?"
"Kusanagi... Do you think she could be a liar?" "Of course not!" He felt his body tense. How could anyone ever insinuate her something like that? "Well if you think she can't be a liar, then you also DO believe in what she told you." Kusanagi gave him a strange look. "What do you... oh... you don't mean... you don't mean THAT, do you?" A bright smile crept across Kakyou's face. "Of course I mean THAT! You've got to tell her what's going on, so she can be prepared when meeting KAMUI, otherwise you will suffer the same way I did." He realized the conflict within Kusanagi's heart getting heavier. "If she really loves you, she won't care if you are a Dragon of Earth or not. And, frankly saying, I don't believe her to be a liar, either."
Kusanagi let out a sigh of relief, then stood up, looking at the beautiful face of the dreamgazer. Why did people always seem to be prettiest, when they were sad or angry? Well, except Yuzuriha, she always looked amazing to him, even when she had had laid in bed, crying for the people in Shinjuku and Inuki, she had still been a beauty. "I've got to go now. Thanks for the warning and the advice. I wish you could have had someone to warn you." "Don't let that bother you." Kakyou gave him another smile. "As long as you don't tell KAMUI about our conversation... You should go now. Now that her spirit dog is gone, she needs someone else to protect her from HIM."
He gave a last look at the dreamgazer, then walked to the door and closed it slowly behind. It might have been wrong to tell one of the other Angels about his forbidden relationship, but nevertheless it felt good to finally talk to someone about it and share the sorrow that burned him inside.
"What do you think, Hokutu?" Kakyou thought, as he shove back the picture of Yuzuriha and Kusanagi hugging, that appeared in front of him. "I know what future will be like. I wasn't even able to protect you." He noticed his eyes slowly filling up with tears. Even after all that years the thought of her still hurt. "You were the one who made me accept changes and tried to convince me, that our destiny isn't foreordained. Do you think, they can change it?"
A.N.: So, I hope now we've finally destroyed that rumour about Kusanagi being at least ten years older than little Yuzu-chan. I guess in the manga, it isn't that hard to imagine him being 19, but if you've watched the series first... oO Well, the next chapter will be about the Seals. Please review!
