You Can Still Be Free

Cool breeze and autumn leaves

Slow motion daylight

He walked silently along the cold grey road. His gaze was averted to the floor as he walked. The light wind danced, wrapping itself around him, flowing freely through his grey and black strands and carrying off the small droplets that fell from his face. It blew at the flaps of his black coat and creased his trousers. However, the wind did not care; it was in a playful mood.

It carried on playing with the sorrowful male and then had enough and decided to have fun with the trees. It danced through the baring branches, knocking off any remaining dying leaves that then swirled to the floor. Indeed, it was a beautiful day crisp and clear as autumn always brought. Autumn days always seemed to go slow, especially beautiful days like this one. Every living being seemed to move slower, preparing for the harsh winter to start. This day was no exception. It was a day of slowness and sorrow.

A lone pair of watchful eyes

Oversee the living

He had finally come to a halt, and the breeze still swayed around him. He slowly looked up from muddy ground, his crimson orbs glossed with salty water. The tears stung his eyes as he tried to blink them away, but to no avail. He looked at the people surrounding him also wearing the black attire. They too were crying or on the verge of shedding droplets of melancholy.

He watched them with his cerise orbs. Watched them breathe, watched them live, and watched them mourn just like him. But, one-person dear to him would never breathe again, never live again or never mourn again. And, it was a saddening thought.

Feel the presence all around

He closed his crimson sad orbs and felt the little breeze stroke his ivory skin. He felt it run smoothly through his silky locks, over his clothed skin, and it reminded him of his lost one. The breezy touches carried the earthly fresh odour. The mid blue sky seemed to stretch forever and the rivers and streams printed themselves in the soil. The sun broke through the whispery clouds in an attempt to warm the ground. It all reminded him of every sort of endearment he had received from him; and now he was laying his love to rest in the very same earth that his love adored.

A tortured soul

A wound un-healing

He watched as the brown polished box was lowered into the brown mud, the last time he would see his love above level. It plagued his soul, ripping it to shreds. The tears flooded from his cherry orbs and fell like a waterfall over his cheeks. His body ached all over but nothing hurt as much as his heart for it was torn in several places and nothing could ever patch it up together again.

It would remain forever like this, like his soul until the day he is finally reunited with his loved lost one. Nevertheless, that thought did not ease his heart even with how many times he said it to himself. If time did pass by it would never mend, he was to live with this unbearable sadness, until the end of his days.

No regrets or promises

The past is gone

Memories of everything that he and his loved one had done invaded his mind, making it harder for him, making him grieve more but he never regretted any of it. Falling in love, becoming one with him, arranging his life around him, wanting him, he lamented none of them and the promises they had made together. The vows they had swapped with each other in front of their friends; the promise to stay with him and love him forever. Even in the relationship arguments because in the end it was all with him. And, the one thing he would never regret was he was in love with a man, the man that had captured his heart, his childhood sweetie, his Chinese cat.

Though that was in the past and his Chinese love had passed over, he would never forget. The past would forever be locked in his heart and embraced around his soul. Memories can and will live forever.

But you can still be free

If time will set you free

He moved his head swiftly to the azure sky as the breeze danced alongside his movements, blowing his locks around and over his face. The little droplets of tears were tangled in the strands sticking to his dampened visage. His deep scarlet orbs gazed at the skies and watched the birds frolic in the waft, through the clouds. He closed them, taking in the warm the sun warming his pale skin. Breathing in the fresh crisp air, smelling the earthly aroma, he smiled. He then exhaled opening his eyes.

His adore was free in the wonderful nature of the world. Free like the birds in the sky and the wildlife. He was free to fly with birds, to run alongside the wildlife. His soul was finally free. Even though his love's beloved were in pain.

Time now to spread your wings

To take to flight

He held him so tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go. Forever holding him. But, pained crimson fluid seeped out everywhere from the one lay in his arms. Tears stung his ruby orbs as he looked down in sadness at his love. A tanned face scrunched in pain as breathes becoming shorter and slower. His golden orbs laced with saline water as they looked up at the crying ones. He could feel his life slipping away with every drop of blood that escaped his broken body. All his lover could do was make him feel comfortable.

The life endeavour

He coughed roughly and blood spurted out his lips and dribbled down his chin.

"I'm sorry Kai…" he managed out, tasting the coppery fluid in his mouth.

"For what?" Kai squeaked out, tears starting to fall onto his skin.

"That I didn't try better in life to satisfy you…" Tears meshed with blood.

"Rei don't you say that, I love everything you do…I've always been satisfied…." He weakly smiled at the Chinese boy. "I don't want you to think like that."

Rei smiled at him, a painful smile but still one none the less. He started to cough more violently and more blood dribbled from his mouth. Kai hugged him tighter to try and help.

Aim for the burning sun

You're trapped inside

Kai knew the evitable was going to happen and nothing he could try would stop that. All he could do now was let Rei go, even though that would kill him; but it was the right thing to do.

"Rei just go…please?" He muttered into Rei's ear, tears laced through his voice.

Rei looked at him. "I don't wanna."

"And I can't bear to see you like this…just go…everything will be ok…" His voice failed him and his tears fell on Chinese lover.

"I…I…can't…."

"Yes you can…see the sun, fly to it Rei…you won't be in any pain then…" He tried to be strong although inside his world was crashing down. "I'll be with you through all of it and after…"

Sobs caught in Rei's throat but he knew Kai was right and he could not last much longer, he would eventually go. "Don't forget me Kai." He gave one longing look at his lover before closing his eyes on the world he knew.

"Like I could…" The Russian answered him, watching him. He did not cry or sob through the last minutes he was being strong like always for the younger man. He had always done that for Rei.

But you can still be free

If time will set you free

Kai watched Rei slip away under his protection. The Chinese body jolted slightly and then his whole body went limp. A few remaining tears were sealed in Rei's ochre orbs escaping and rolling down his tanned, cut cheeks. Kai's crimson orbs widened as he saw his love die, tears immediately cascaded down his ivory cheeks. He cupped the younger man in his arms and cried on his limp body. Shivers took control of his whole body and he could not stop. He just sat there sobbing on his dead lover, not wanting to release the empty shell that was Kon, Rei.

"You're free Rei…." He whispered through tears. "No more pain…"

But it's a long, long way to go

The funeral was short and simple, much like the ceremony in the house of God. Kai preferred that way, as a longing funeral would cause more hurt than he was already in. Friends and family of the once in love couple said their sorry's to the silent Russian. His close friends tried to offer their comfort but Kai refused it and just stared at the polished coffin as brown mud was beginning to be shovelled on to it. Tears glided down his ivory coloured cheeks with each shovel. His love truly was disappearing into the Earth right before his eyes just like how he had disappeared from his life forever.

His friends watched in despair over the former captain as he stood by the graveside of their fallen friend. They all knew it was going to be a long time before Kai could gradually get back to real life. Although they knew he would never be same again, for he was and always will be a broken man; tormented by the death of his partner. All his friends could do was support him in this new war on his heart. And, even though Kai never thanked them he was grateful for their support.

Keep moving way up high

A lone figure watched the pained Russian from a far. The wind that once danced around the two tone headed man set a course for the watching male. It coursed through his raven locks, wrapping the long strands around his body and face then swooping it back up again. The breeze enjoyed its play in the long flowing strands of ebony hair. The raven-haired man inhaled the fresh wind and smelt the scent of his lover. He closed his sunset orbs and took in the delicious smell of his Russian hunk for one last time. He was leaving the Earth he loved so much and his friends and family, but more importantly his Kai. A stab of pain mixed with sadness pricked his heart and a small delicate teardrop ran down his cheek. He opened his ochre orbs laced with water and turned away.

After two large white, feathered wings sprouted out from his back and unravelled behind him, several more wings protruded from the original pair. God ordained him as an angel, a guardian spirit. Tears danced with the wind and smashed into the feather wings as he took flight to the cool air of Autumn.

Your see the light

It shines forever

He cast his golden gaze to the yellow light radiating in the sky. It was his destination now, where fate wanted him to go and his wings obeyed the command, flying his body closer to the glowing light. He knew this was the luminosity that everyone disappeared into after they, as him in that moment, departed from the Earth. It was the proclaimed Heaven where he would wait for Kai and be re-united his parents after so many years. The ashen light emitted warmth onto his tanned body and illuminated his clothes, making them seem glowing, in a surreal awe. His wings swooped in a gust of wind and carried him further to the light that never dimmed or flickered out.

Sail through the crimson skies

Rays of golden light beamed through puffs of grey clouds, turning the blue sky into crimson red with the odd lost orange streak here and there. It truly was a beautiful sight as the sun set on the small part of the Earth known as Japan. And, he was witness to this beautiful event, it would be the last time he ever saw the sunset like this. That saddened him as he soared higher and higher into the cool air, through the autumn coloured sky.

Drops of clear fluid slid down his cheeks with caught in the sunrays turning them red, so it would appear he was weeping blood. He tried so hard not to cry but seeing his last sunset hurt him, as he would never share another one with beloved on Kai. He brushed away his tears as much as he could he was getting closer and he was a little afraid of what to expect.

The purest light

The light that sets you free

He was closing in on the luminous radiance that seemed to light the whole world up. The new angel raised a tanned arm to shade his tiger-eyes from the brilliant light. His whole body shone as it was bathed in the white light of purity. He could feel the warm heat of it grazing his skin and it felt nice and peaceful, like all his worried of the after world disappeared. His time to enter the light approached as he flew towards it but before he entered the eternal beam, he took one last glimpse at the world below him, his lover below him.

"Sayonara…" He whispered and then he let the light absorb his body.

If time will set you free

Kai sat on the end of the double bed, his elbows resting on his knees and his crimson orbs staring at the ground. His black attire still hung on his pale body but he had loosened up. The TV was on in another room but he was not listening to it. The phone was ringing on the side table next to bed but he did not attempt to answer it. No, he just stared at the carpeted floor, his mind travelling through hundreds of memories all with emotions attached to them. All of his departed lover, Kon, Rei.

"…Rei…" Came the words from the Russian's mouth. He stared at the neko-jin in shock as the feathery wings etched to dance with the wind and snow.

The raven-haired angel smiled at him. "So you remember me now?"

"How could I forget?" Warm liquid trailed down Kai's ivory cheeks as everything he had with Rei flooded his mind.

"I have to go now Kai, please don't forget me?" He said letting his wings swoop him up a fresh gust of air. He gave a little wave and look to the snowing sky, he then flew up into the blotchy white sky and soon disappeared in the white flaked.

Kai stood there weeping, watching his only love leave him for a second time. He felt stupid that he had not realised earlier in the night, but his guess was having his neko-jin there made him forget all the painful memories of his death. He silently thanked Rei then as it gave him a final push towards sorting his life out. He would not forget Rei, he couldn't even he wanted to try, but most all of he couldn't now knowing Rei was forever watching over him. He was his guardian angel. He was finally feeling happier.

Sail through the wind and rain tonight

The neko-jin angel flew through the sky, battling against the wet snow, all most rain and gusty wind. It lashed on his face and whipped his clothes, soaking him to the bone. Silvery tears meshed in with the raindrops as they trailed down his tanned cheeks. His clothes clung to his tender frame and his feathers became clumpy and tangled from the downpour. Though, he did not care; he had seen his koi after a year even though he was breaking the rules. He was sure he would be forgiven.

You're free to fly tonight

And you can still be free

He soared through the awful weather but it did not faze him. He ran his palms over his wet face and up through his ebony bangs, knocking the red bandana off. His bang flew freely in the torrent rain, soaking up the fresh raindrops. Rei just smiled, not caring that his hair was getting wetter by the second.

His Kai was free at that's all that mattered. Free from the sorrow of his passing, his horrible death. Free from not being able to carry on. He only wished he could be there with him to see Kai's wings cut loose and fly as he did. But, he would just watch from a far like it had been ordained for him to do.

If time will set you free

Rei knew that one day Kai would rejoin him in the same sky he flew through and they would fly freely through it forever, side by side, and hand in hand. Together at last. However, that was not to be yet, but when it was Rei would be there with open arms waiting for him. It was his duty to do so.

And Kai knew that.

And going higher than the mountain tops

The Chinese guardian spread his wings out wide and he let the wind carry him over the air passing scenes of serenity and calm. He did not top to take in the wonder of White Tiger Mountain he just flew past, but he felt the peace it brought all around him, like when he lived on Earth. The fresh scent invaded his nostrils. He closed his golden orbs breathing in the fresh scent; a smile crept its way on to his lips, a tiny canine protruding from his lips. He spread his arms out on either side of his bodies as he flew through the cool air that he loved so much. He danced with flirty wind, swirling and twirling around in it, his white feathers ruffling in its playful tug. This was his place, his mountain.

And go high the wind don't stop

He flew higher and higher in the fresh wind, his body drying out. The dancing wind blew through his ebony strands, twisting them around in the air and around his body. It creased his Chinese black top and trousers; the trouser tassels go wild in the wind. He did not care he just floated through the air on the string wind, not caring where it ended. This was his playtime now.

Go high

Soon the light that was entrance to his heavenly home shone down his face, warming his cool skin. He flickered open his ochre orbs and smiled happily. As he flapped his huge wings catching the wind and using it as his transport to the brilliant light. He stopped just as the light touched his recoiling wings.

"You can still be free…" He whispered to the wind, his words carried off to the land below him, below the rain clouds and snow.

He then dove into the bright white light with a happy smile tugged on his lips.

Free to fly tonight

Tanned hands clasped ivory in a never-ending hold, forever tied together. Gold smiled at crimson, and tears fell. White feathered wings clashed together in a harmonious manner and giggles escaped the tanned one. The day had arrived of their re-union. And, like Rei had promised he waited for Kai and stayed with him to guide him through. It had been long wait but it did not matter now as they were finally back together. Free from all the evils of the world. Free together.

The slate spiked one smiled at his neko-jin. "Sorry you waited long."

"It was worth the wait." A tanned finger ran smoothly down an ivory cheek.

Kai's smile widened at the little affection his love gave him. The raven-haired angel lent in and kissed his koi for the first time since his little dance night, which seemed to both angels an eternity ago. Neither lad wanted to end the kiss, which had been longing for, for decades. But, Rei pulled away and giggled as Kai still had scarlet orbs closed, savouring the kiss.

The older angel then leant in closer to Kai's ear and whispered four little words.

"Free to fly tonight"

The Russian opened his garnet gemmed orbs and looked at his angel. Rei smiled, cat fangs peeping out in the cute way Kai liked. He grabbed hold of Kai's over hand and started to pull him into the cool air from the ground, wings flapping gently behind him. The new angel was a little hesitant at first not sure of his newfound feather wings. With a little re-assurance from his love, his feet left the grassy earth and hovered in the air.

Soon after the reunited couple were soaring happily together in the sky, hand in hand. And forever they would fly in the dancing wind together. It was their destiny…their fate…

And to anyone lost loved ones….

Sniffles I enjoyed writing that! Yes indeed –nods- So everyone asked for a sequel to Angel and since it out did My Immortal, my first angst song fic, I had to let everyone know the obvious, but not in a plain and simple way. Admit tingly this wasn't gonna be the sequel but after much thought I thought what the heck! I liked it and I love the song I used! It's a beautiful song!

About how Rei died I dunno, it is obvious he has been either shot or stabbed. I like the stabbed idea but hey, it is up to you to decide how little Rei-Rei died for the second time in one of my fics, him being a vampire doesn't count in Vampires Lust.

Oh and as one person wrote in a post to Goodnight, I keep killing people off with cancer! I don't! I killed Boris/Yuuri off with gunshot in Hold On and Rei died either the same way or by stabbing in this one! Just thought I would clear that up if that person ever read this.

And I think that's all I've to say! Oh yeah review let me know if I made you cry! evil laughter Hell I sniffled, so don't be ashamed! Or, whatever you think of it. Flames are welcome but don't think I'll take any notice of them if you do!

Goodnight all and thank you for reading!
