.: And the Hero will Drown :.

: Prologue :

The spray of water ran down his long locks of blue as he rinsed the last of the conditioner off. Opening his eyes slowly, Sieg stared at the shower head, wondering how it all happened again.

Sighing, he turned the water hotter, the heat burning his skin until it was all pinkish red. But no matter how painful the heat was, he still felt quite numb inside as he closed his eyes and let the steam cloud his mind.

Tilting his head upwards, he drifted back off to the world of his hazy memories as the steam rised, blurring the glass door.

"Don't you want to see them again?"

Again, he sighed and stared down at the water flowing towards the drain. If only his life would end as quickly as that...

"Don't you want to be with them again?"

He quickly closed his eyes, hands clenching on the tiled wall.

'I don't have any choice, do I?'

Letting go of a harsh breath, he turned the shower off and grabbed a towel hanging nearby. Drying himself, purple eyes stared at the sight of the castle just outside the room's view. So radiant was the royal castle that he shook his head and averted from the sight, memories flooding inside of him.

"How did it happen again?" He muttered, wondering if he had croaked it out. Throat pretty sore, he shrugged the thought off and proceeded looking for his robe.

Finally, he caught sight of it lying on his bed. He grabbed and donned it, feeling the soft silk cool on his skin, easing the still burning feel of the early shower.

As soon as he wore it, memories again flashed through his mind, causing him to gasp and sending him to his knees. Clutching his head in agony, he glared at the carpeted floor, voices echoing dully everywhere around him. The pain was so intense. He suddenly shut his eyes and swore until he could feel the pain subside.

Panting, he slowly straightened himself again. He leaned on the glass window just beside his bed for support, massaging his still aching temples. Glancing at the sun setting beyond the clock tower, he wondered if his life will end as easy as that.

Sighing, Sieg realized with solemnity, that maybe, his life is even more meaningless than it already is, with everything that had happened.

-Omake-

But then Shuda burst into the room, wearing nothing but a hula skirt, a wreath of flowers and coconuts. "Hoola!" he shouted, and started sashaying towards the middle of the room. He clapped twice and stomped the ground, hard, making a small pot and an empty picture frame fall off a shelf.

Sieg stared.

Shuda grinned, and tugged at the waist band of his green & leafy skirt.

"What'sa matter, grumpy-guts? Not hot enough for ya?"

(Deliberate typo below.. )

Ass oon as the red head had said that, Lucia stalked in, looking quite.. pink.

"Damn sunburn," the Blond Demon growled, throwing a large black carry bag onto Sieg's red couch. It wasn't only the sudden appearance of the heir to Rareglove that caught Sieg's attention, but the fact that the young man was wearing a pink Hawaiian print shirt …and board shorts.

Haru followed, dressed in a French maid's outfit (a very –skimpy- French maid's outfit) with a set of ribboned cat ears on his head and sighed.

"Well, you were the one who insisted on surfing without putting any sunscreen on.. and then there was the sheer irrational amount of body-flops you did off the diving board.. " He took out a tube of Aloe cream from his frilly, lacey, white leather purse strapped over his shoulder.

Lucia sighed, relaxing face down on Sieg's bed, as Haru kneeled by his side and soothed his sunburnt skin with a nice massage.

Shuda took this opportunity to grope Haru's ass and attempt to peer up the boy's skirt.

That's when Sieg decided he needed another shower.

Cold, this time.
