~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A pale young boy was lying on a bed. A hospital bed actually. His face was unworried and what looked like peacefully sleeping if not a little too thin. Taped and inserted into his white skin were many needles and syringes enough to make one cringe with pity when they saw him. His hair, a beautiful silvery colour was fanned out on the pillow creating an illusion of an angel that had descended from the heavens.
In fact, this very angel had been in a comatose state for nearly five years now. The doctors had just announced his fate and left. He would really become an angel if he did not wake up in one months' time. (A/N: Meaning he'll die in a month if he doesn't wake up ok?) There was no hope for him. It was as if his fate was sealed just by a simple predicament.
All the nurses in the ward knew him. In the five years the boy had been there, he only had one visitor. Just one. Of course, the nurses recognised the visitor. The boy's visitor was extremely handsome, if not a little on the feminine side. And those emerald green orbs, they could look so sorrowful that you just wanted to go up and give him a hug. (A/N: Guess who's that..XD)
Today, the young man came again. If the nurses had been observant enough, they would have noticed that every time the visitor came, the young man would sit as if in a trance state. But of course, they didn't notice. They'd be too busy with their duties or gossiping in the tea room whenever they had some free time anyway.

Sumeragi Subaru walked quickly through the white hospital corridors. No matter how many times he'd visited Kakyo, he'd never gotten used to the way they designed the hospital. It was just too much of a maze. Maybe the architect was really the reincarnate of the Aztec pyramids' designer for the maze part because you could really get lost. Finally, after a gruelling ten minutes of walking here and there around the corridors, up the stairs, turn left, right,.. Subaru reached the goal. Kakyo's room. A doctor dressed in a white hospital coat spotted him at once and hastened towards him. " Ano, sir, are you a relative of some sort to Kakyo-kun? Because if you are, I've got something very important to tell you", were the doctor's first words of greeting to the young ex-head of the Sumeragi clan.
When Subaru just nodded an affirmative, the doctor went on "As you may very well know, Kakyo-san has been with us for five years and we've tried our best to get him out of his coma. Everything we've tried seems to be a failure. Now we're still trying..but.. what I'm trying to tell you is..", The doctor seem resigned,".is that you should be prepared for the worst any day now."
Subaru nodded again. The doctor then bowed a goodbye and left him and Kakyo. After all, a doctor has his work too..
After making sure that no one would disturb them for at least the next few hours, Subaru closed the door quietly. "Kakyo-chan, Sensei's gone." Subaru muttered, sitting on a chair next to Kakyo. Almost immediately it seemed, Subaru felt himself transported into a dreamscape.
"You've got a lot of nerve calling me Kakyo-chan.I'm not a small kid y'know."
Kakyo sat there, on a chair, observing the sea that Subaru's late sister had shown him in her dream. Subaru grinned for the first time in weeks. Kakyo shot him a smirk and said," So.what did the doctor say? That I've got less than a month left?"
'No.he didn't say that..He just said I should be prepared for the worst.Are you going soon?" Subaru asked, turning evergreen eyes on Kakyo as though trying to search for an answer in Kakyo.
"..Don't worry Subaru-san. You won't be alone. There is still someone you and I know, who still loves you with all his soul." Kakyo said, his silvery blonde hair blowing in the sea breeze from sea in the dreamscape, ".Anyway..there's no reason for me to stay here anymore. Hokuto-chan is gone anyway.." The yumemi murmured softly, his eyes gazing at the sea.
Both men gazed at the sea, unable to look at each other. It was just a memory now. A memory lost forever, swept in the tides of time, drifting into eternity..forever lost..
After a few minutes, Kakyo took a deep breath and spoke again. "The 'he' whom I spoke of is the Kamui of the Ten No Ryuu.He still loves you, he's searching for you.."
"How can you be so sure?!! ..It's been years since we've seen each other, who knows, he might have found another lover already.",Subaru said defensively, not believing a word of it.
Tension grew.
Silence was inevitable.
This went on for the next few minutes.
. . .
A girl's voice yelling 'SUBARU!!' startled both of the two men. The silence was broken.
"Hokuto-chan?!!"
"You shouldn't live in the past Subaru!! Go, get a life! I didn't sacrifice myself just to let you sit and angst about all day!...Okay?" Hokuto shouted at Subaru, then rushing to squeeze the life out of him in a hug. (A/N: *sweatdrop* Hokuto appeared in the dreamscape too.)
Kakyo smiled sadly at Subaru," I'm going now, take care of yourself now, Subaru-san.And.tell Kamui I said hi."
"Subaru, if you don't take care of yourself, I'll kill you!" Hokuto said surprisingly gently, unlike her usual maniac self. Then Hokuto and Kakyo joined hands. Fading away slowly, they smiled at Subaru and said,
"Sayonara doesn't mean forever Subaru-chan, not while we're in your memories."
"Wait~!" Subau shouted, trying to catch hold of them with his hands but failing.
In the real world, Kakyo's heartbeat slowly weakened and finally stopped. Subaru woked from the trance he had been in while during his visit to the dreamscape. He pressed the button to call for a nurse and opened the door. Looking back at Kakyo's now-lifeless body. And left the hospital.
Outside the hospital, he looked up at the skies and whispered " Sayonara Kakyo-san, Nee-chan.Seishirou-san."
Because sayonara doesn't mean forever.
Because I know that you'll still be with me,
. I'll see all of you again.
It's just goodbye for now.
