To Nowhere Saikano
"Can you hear the calling
of the raving wind and water?
We just keep dreaming of the
land 'cross the river,"
Shuji walked up to a river. Chise was close behind him. He listened to the water flowing downstream.
"What do you think is on the other side?" Chise asked.
"Maybe a place where we can live without any war or danger," Shuji said. Chise laughed a little.
"I don't think that's possible," she said.
"It would be nice if it were," Shuji said.
"We are always on the way to
find the place we belong,
wandering to nowhere,
we're paddling down the raging sea,"
"When will we find somewhere where no one can find us?" Chise asked.
"I'm not sure. But I hope we will find someplace soon. All of these bombings are driving me insane," he replied, turning to Chise. Tears formed in her eyes. He hugged her. Even though Shuji wanted to cry each time he couldn't hear her heart beat, he still held her close. Chise listened to his and smiled as tears fell down her face.
"I love you, Shuji," Chise said. Shuji blushed.
"Who can cross over such
raving wind and water?
On the rolling boat we sit,
shivering with coldness,"
A little down the way was a boat. Shuji gently let go of Chise and she wiped away her tears.
"Let's take a boat ride," Shuji suggested. Chise nodded, still with that painful smile on her face. They got on the boat. Shuji unhooked the rope from the stake that was at the edge of the bank. He took the two ores and began to row down the river. He smiled at Chise, who was looking down at her bruised knees. Shuji didn't know what to talk about. Then he remembered the time where he was with Fuyumi. He winced.
"Are you okay?" Chise asked. Shuji opened his eyes and smiled, even though it hurt.
"Yeah. How about you?" He asked. She nodded.
"Come by an island, come by a hillock,
it's just another place, we paddle on,
down the raging sea,"
"It seems we're doing fine. We passed a few rough spots, but we got through them all right," Shuji said, letting the boat drift down the river. The water was moving pretty fast. Tears formed in Chise's eyes again. They flowed down her cheeks.
"Shuji..." she started.
"I am sorry for always making you cry so much. It's always my fault," he said, almost starting to cry himself.
"No! It's my fault for letting them do this to me!" Chise said. She sobbed as Shuji hugged her.
"But in one morning we will
see the sun, bright shining morning
dew singing, they who will search
will find the land of evergreen,"
The sun rose above the horizon. Chise had to shield her eyes it was so bright.
"It will be all right. I will protect you," he said. Chise smiled but then her eyes started to glow. She frowned and her whole body glowed. "Chise!" Shuji cried. Chise floated up and wings appeared on her back. The wind blew Shuji back into the river. He hit his head on a rock and fell uncoscious. He was carried a little ways down the river until Chise realized what she was doing and her eyes turned to normal. She flew to Shuji and picked him up. She lay him on the other side of the river. He opened his eyes slowly.
"Can you hear the calling of the
raving wind and water? We just
keep paddling down the sea, up
the river, no destination, but we are together,"
"Shuji," Chise said, still crying. He smiled slightly and held his head. He felt blood and brought his hand in front of his face. There was a spot of blood on it. "Shuji! You're hurt!" Chise cried.
"I'll be fine. As long as I'm with you," he said. Chise smiled. She leaned forward until their lips touched.
"in the silent sadness we're paddling..."
Shuji put his hand on her face and gently pushed her away. Tears still fell down her face, but this time, she was happy. H esmiled and sat up. Her wings disappeared.
"down the raging sea, down to nowhere."
"Even if we don't have a plan, or a destination, I will always love you," Shuji said.
"And I will also love you," Chise said. The two held hands as they walked down the other side of the river.
