Stars

Les Shaman Miserables

Lyvert had drawn himself to a bridge above a river and was staring down into the clear waters. The sky was littered with small stars, and the deep blue-black color of the sky was hypnotic.

Lyvert looked at the sky. "There… out in the darkness… a fugitive running… fallen from grace. Fallen from grace… God be my witness – I shall never yield till we come face to face! Till we come face to face…"

"He knows his way in the dark," Lyvert mused. "Mine is the way of the Lord, and those who follow the path of the righteous shall have their reward. But if you fall as Lucifer fell – the flame – the sword!"

"Stars," Lyvert murmured, staring into the vast emptiness of space. "In your multitudes… scarce to be counted. Filling the darkness with order and light! You are the sentinels, silent and sure, keeping watch in the night… keeping watch in the night!"

"You know your place in the sky," Lyvert whispered. "You hold your course and your aim. And each in your season returns and returns – and is always the same… but if you fall as Lucifer fell, you fall in flame!"

Lyvert became very charged up for some reason. "And so it has been and so it is written on the doorway to paradise, that those who falter and those who fall must pay the price!"

Lyvert looked back at the mass of stars, glittering perfectly. "Lord… let me find him, so that I may see him… safe behind bars! I will never rest, till then – this I swear… this I swear by the stars!"

Lyvert stared at the stars for a very long time, calmed but at the same time waiting, waiting for Paijean to mess up so he could bring him to justice.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Shaman King or Les Mis. (I'm getting tired of writing this.)

A/N: I adore this song. Sorry, I HAD to say that.

A/N 2: Keiko… why is Ren chained to YOUR bed? Because as I look over my shoulder, he's half-asleep in mine, giggling… (ahem) Sorry. I'm feeling rather ecchi today...

A/N 3: Of course I'll read Aisubeki Dearest when it comes up, Neko-Neko Faust VIII. What do you think I am, heartless? (Laughs manically as she kicks Ryu into a river) Um… you didn't see that.

Sorry, I haven't read the Outsiders. I will though! (runs to bookstore)
