Pairings: IzumixEnvy (pre-Sieg)... don't like... don't read?
Note: I am totally against mixing Japanese with English (especially when the author -like me- knows close to nothing of Jap.)... but I figured I could try it out, since it appeared to be so cute
Note2: The story's gonna have 3 chappies. No more no less.
Chapter one: Tabiji
Ima, sekai wo hate o mezasu tabiji e
I came across him one day, just by chance.
Back then I searched for the way to make the impossible come true. Back then, I searched for the ultimate answer, to all of the questions. And in that constant search, that constant process, I met him.
The difference of ages between him and Sensei, who was apparently his mother, was curious. In the first instant our eyes met, they locked, and I felt suddenly cold. His eyes, even warm, seemed calculating, cunning. There was something about him that wasn't exactly natural. But back then, what could I have known? The truth is that I was captivated by his extremely golden eyes.
After that, even if training lessons with Sensei were physically and mentally exhausting, I always managed to squeeze in some time to go and talk to him. Not because he was cute -which he was, and in excess-, but because he was probably the most intelligent, realistic person I had ever met. Even more than Sensei, if that was possible.
"To have a strong mind you need a strong body", he sometimes said. I still quote him today, even when the memory of him brings pain to my heart. Even being what in the end I found out he was didn't keep him from the wisdom.
I'm not going to deny that it was with him I learnt the value of true strenght- he was the ultimate expert in word-games, and in hand-to-hand combat. Back in those days... I could spend hours trying to hit him, without causing him the slightest scratch. He was the master in dodging backwards. And in turning phrases into weapons.
That was probably what made him relate in some way to Sensei. They could both give a dangerous edge to words...
And even so, his company didn't awake in me any feeling of self-achievement.
Instead of helping me find the answer...
He subtly, slyly, induced me into new questions I'd never have thought of asking.
And that was how the journey to the end of the world began...
Ima, sekai wo hate o mezasu tabiji e (Now, to a journey that aims at the end of the world)
(From the song 'Tamashii Kasanete')
Hey, my Japanese is quite sucky. If you are an understood in the language, you could always message me and correct me... (Note: correction from amateur people like me pretending to know it all are... kinda annoying. Please if you correct be totally sure! Pweeeease?)
