Everyone else: thanx u ever so much for reading and reviewing, and for all of u who always say "i hope u continue" well duh i will... i promise to tell u when its near the end. actually, i've figured out the end. u are all so gonna hate it...

this chapter is really short. (all my chapters are short DEAL WITH IT) and it really has no lovin, or anything. just Yuan and Kratos blabbering on about things and a real happy good feeling. which will then be crushed. MOOhahahahahahaha (sorry little awake here) anyway, enjoy!))


Kratos looked out into the rain. He was sitting under the shelter he had built, a blanket wrapped around his naked body. He watched the drops fall from the sky, each one landing on the ground and molding into the puddles others had made before it.

He sighed and looked at the aqua haired angel who sat down beside him for the second time today.

"I read this poem once. I don't remember most of it, but one part always stuck with me. The stars were taken from us. The stars and the moon. The clouds and the sun. We have nothing but the nothingness we live in. Nothing but our pain. Our fears and the screams."

"Kind of chilling, don't you think?" Kratos replied.

Yuan took a deep breath, "I used to think this was true for me. That everything had been taken from me the second she died. I couldn't see the stars, I couldn't see the rain. All I could see was what was missing. What I had lost. All I had left was my sorrow."

"Do you still see this?"

He shook his head, "No. I don't. You saved me from that. Hell, must have been a thousand years ago when you did."

Kratos smiled, "And how did I manage to do that? Show you the stars?"

"Actually you did. You showed me the stars."

Kratos looked at him with a confused smile.

"Just before I formed my Renegades, probably about three or four years before, when I was still in Derris Kharlan I remember the day, not the actual date, just the day. Doing pointless things, sulking around the halls of lifeless beings Mithos had created. That was the time both Chosen had been born male and there was no real activity in the worlds, so there was no real activity up there either. I'd been planning that day for years it seemed, years of planning for something I'd always chickened out on last second. I remember going home, not that it was really a home. You know that place; it could never truly be home. But I was there, and I was in the bathing room, knife in my hand, to my wrist."

Kratos bit his lower lip, "Yuan you never told me you…"

"I had just barley broke the skin, barely cut even the tiniest of lines, when I heard you at the door. You shouted my name, like you where so excited to be in my house. I hid the knife quickly and you came bouncing in. I still remember your words. They were so stupid. "Yuan you-"

Kratos cut him off, "Have to see the stars," he whispered, remembering, "They were aligned like they only do ever thousand years. I wanted you to see them."

Yuan nodded, "And I did. You look me down to Tethe'alla to see them. You showed me the stars." He pulled out a knife, worn and dull, "I've kept it with me. To remember the stars you showed me. The way you saved me… Shortly after I started the Renegades."

Yuan pulled Kratos closer to him, kissing him softly, "But now we can finally have our lives. I can have back all that I've lost."

Kratos smiled lightly, "Yes… I suppose we can." He said softly, even though he knew inside that he had to do just what Yuan had tried. But he had to succeed…
