I do not own the Song and I certainly do not own the Anime. WK was changed a little to suit my needs, but such is the life. Please do not take my storyline though.
The doors of the private cathedral opened
with a crash, and a golden eyed man walked up the center Aisle. He
held something delicately between his cupped palms as he made his way
to the large statue of Jesus between the front pews. When the man
reached the base of the statue, he let the small head of a bird poke
between his fingers before he crushed it, dropping the mangled body
at the feet of the statue. He waited for God to cry, but there was no
result. Screaming he pulled his daggers out, but before he could do
anything, a bright light engulfed him. A little boy, about 5 years
old sat in the front pew of the church. He was trying to behave
because momma was in the front row of the choir and she would get
angry if he fidgeted. There was a really bad itch on his ankle and he
tried to keep from scratching, but when momma turned her head, he
couldn't help but to itch it. Unfortunately she looked at him just as
he reached down. Blushing brightly he itched really fast then sat
back up, looking down at his hands before he could see momma laugh
quietly. The man writhed at the memory, his cold heart defrosting
some, even as his soul tried to free itself from his
body.
Tell me what
I have to do tonight
'Cause I'd do anything to make it right
Let's be us again
He
could feel God talking to him, trying to make him right again, to
make him not hate anymore. A ten year old boy came home from
school, proudly showing his mom the diploma he had gotten for
learning all of his scriptures in order. She smiled proudly at him
and hung it in the front hall where everybody could see it. Both went
to the kitchen and celebrated, baking cookies and eating them when
they were still gooey from the oven. That night he slept, and he
heard God promise that He would never leave the boy, that he would
always be happy. Only if he was bad would anything ever go wrong.
At the memories of his mother, the man continued to struggle, not
wanting to let go of his hatred, the memories..
I'm
sorry for the way I lost my head
I don't know why I said the things I said
Let's be us again
He
shook his head violently, refusing to believe God's apologies, the
promised he made to him in his dreams. A fifteen year old boy
dances modestly with a girl he was mildly crushing on, the nuns
watching every couple with the eyes of hawks. Tonight was the Easter
school dance, and everybody was dancing. Tonight, his parental unit
would be at home, no doubt watching the clock until he returned,
ready to hug him and ask him how things went. The man struggled
harder, twisting and turning in the light, trying to ignore His
words.
Here I
stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again
He
shook his head violently, refusing to be swayed. The final memory.
An Eighteen your old boy is on the way home from his date with the
girl of the month. Usually his mother looks at him with disapproval,
treating girls like they were nothing. He prepares himself for the
scolding he will get. When he turns onto his road, he sees around 20
emergency vehicles and his house is demolished. Scrambling out of the
car he shoves by the emergency units and goes inside, zeroing in on
his mother's room. She lay serenely on her bed, and her silver cross
plunged in her chest from the vibrations. Her hands were around where
the cross entered her body and she had a sad smile on her face. The
boy screamed, and his heart turned cold.' At this memory, the man
screamed, the old pain resurfacing, God's soothing
words
trying to sway him to no effect.
Look at me, I'm way past pride
Isn't there some way that we can try
To be us again
Even if it takes a while
I'll wait right here until I see that smile
That says we're us again
Tears
streamed down the man's face. He wanted to believe God, but he
couldn't trust him. A Twenty year old man with golden eyes is
contacted by assassins and asked to join an elite team. He accepts,
having nothing left in his soul to protect. The first target is the 7
year old daughter of a prominent political figure. The man got the
killing shot. Moments later, a huge storm brewed and drenched the
city for days on end. The man's defenses were falling. He knew now
that God cried every time he had hurt an innocent creature, every
time his heart grew colder. The man's
struggles
slowed and his heart started to thaw even more.
Here I stand
With everything to lose
And all I know is I don't want to ever see the end
Baby please, I'm reaching out for you
Won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's be us again
This time the words reached a little deeper into his hear and managed to stay with him, reminding him that he was loved. He still refused to sway, but not as adamantly as before. A 30 year old man lay on his pallet, blood seeping from almost every square inch of his body. Rain leaked through the roof and dropped on him, salty droplets sliding into his eyes and mouth. Angrily he brushed them away and began to dress the wounds. He saw his mother watching him from heaven, tears streaming down her face every time he got hurt or he killed something. His mother had given him tears when he could not cry. A tight fist clenched at his chest.
Oh, here I am
I'm reaching out for you
So won't you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let's
be us again Yes, he would let God back inside him. He wanted to find
his mother again.
All
the pain he caused had exhausted him. The man's struggles
ceased
entirely,
and he whispered along with God:
Oh let's be us again
A red haired German was in search of his teammate. They had a mission and the Irish man's techniques would be useful. For some reason, he could not sense the other's mind so he had to check each room personally. Finally he was at the point where the last place left was the cathedral. Growling the man lit a cigarette then made his way there and slammed open the doors. A startled bird fluttered from the feet of the large Jesus statue and startled the man into dropping the cigarette and brought his eyes up the height of the statue. In the arms of the statue lay the Irish man, his daggers through his heart and his hands holding them there. What truly disturbed the German though was the smile of absolute peace and happiness on the pale face of his teammate. Turning swiftly he ran out, a smoldering cigarette butt lay forgotten on the floor. Moments after the German had gone, a warm breeze carrying cherry blossoms swept into the cathedral and swirled around the statue, sweeping the still smoking cylinder out of the room and then it stilled. Soft pink petals were left, covering the statue and the man in its arms. A scuffling followed by shouts could be heard as the three remaining members of the team raced to the cathedral. None dared enter and disturb the scene, nor would they ever. A gentle boom of thunder cracked outside and a warm spring drizzle began to fall, slowly soaking the men before they walked silently back into the manor. Finally, the Irishman had made God cry, but this time in joy.
