Disclaimer: Nope, none of the characters of Gravitation are mine, but I'm sure that that is well understood by the 63rd chapter.

"Before I tell you." She began, squeezing his hands gently "You must promise me, you must promise me you won't hate me." She swallowed, shaking gently "That you'll forgive me."

"I… I promise." Shuichi stammered "Sara… please… what is it?"

Silently, she stood, standing alone in the middle of the room, her back turned to Shuichi.

"Well, it all began when Eiri was about 2 years old…"

Shuichi took a breath, feeling his heart race as he watched Sara pace back and forth.

"He grew so fast… magically I mean." She began "His energy… increased day by day, moment by moment."
"But, isn't that good for a warlock?"

"Ordinarily, yes, it is." Sara answered "But, his magical energy wasn't the only thing that was increasing."

Their eyes met, and Shuichi's widened in confusion.

"Not only magical energy… what other kind of energy is there?" He asked

Sara only continued to stare. Realization spread across Shuichi's face.

". . . no…"

Sara nodded slowly.

"Yes." She began "Eiri… was developing Chaos Energy… at an incredible rate. Too much, too fast. Even I didn't. . . didn't foresee it happening."
"But… isn't that a good thing? Would that mean that he could use Chaos Magic? That he'd be a wielder?"

"Not… quite." Sara began "You see, Chaos Energy and Chaos Wielding isn't necessarily connected. While you can't be a wielder without Chaos, you can have Chaos--."
"And not be a wielder?"

Sara nodded.

"Yes." She began to pace. "For reasons I didn't understand… my son had a tremendous amount of Chaos energy, and not the ability to wield it."

A moment of silence fell upon them, and spread about the room. Neither spoke until Shuichi whispered.

"What would happen?"

"Hm?"
"If… if the Chaos kept growing, and he couldn't control it…"

"He would die."

Shuichi's head snapped towards Sara.

"Eventually, the energy would become too much for both his mind and body to handle, and yes, he would die."

More silence, before Sara sighed and continued.

"And as a mother, as his mother… I couldn't let that happen. . . I couldn't let him die. I knew that, this was his perhaps his fate, and that I couldn't change things without risk of… well screwing things up more." She paused. "You understand, right?"

Shuichi nodded.

"Yes. I understand, but what…"
"Kaname didn't know…" Sara said. "I couldn't bring myself to tell him. That his beloved child was going to die, and that there was nothing he could do about it." She sighed "It was mine and Kina's secret…" Her voice grew soft "Though I imagine by now he's probably figured it out…"
"Figured… what out?"

Sara sighed, and fell silent, sitting back on the edge of the bed, facing away from Shuichi.

"By the time Eiri was two… his Chaos energy was… off the charts. You'd never guess it by looking at him, in fact, only people who can sense these types of energies would know. And even then, maybe not."She sighed "Anyways, I couldn't think of a way to simply stop the growth, or make him become a wielder and be able to control it."

Shuichi nodded, trying to follow her.

"You know that… energy, is neither created nor destroyed?"

Shuichi nodded.

"I learned that in science."

"Well, in a way, it applies to magics as well." She sighed "I couldn't destroy the Chaos energy in my son, so I had to… move it."

"Move it?"

She reached out, and gently took Shuichi's hand.

"I had to, take from him, and place it somewhere else." She began. "There was no way to simply, send it away. I had to, store it somewhere." She sighed "At first, I didn't know where. I was so crazed with fear that I couldn't even clearly see the future. I thought about Kaname, knowing about him being a wielder… but that would change… too much." She swallowed, shaking her head "And, I thought about myself… but it wouldn't work. My body of light energy couldn't contain the Chaos, and I'd kill us both, and probably everyone in a thousand mile radius…"

She swallowed, a small smile came to her face.

"But… but then. I saw it. And I knew. A vision came to me, a little, bundle of joy, on April 16."

"April 16… but that's my…"
She nodded.

"You, Shuichi. It was you." She touched his cheek gently "You were born into that dimension, as a Chaos Wielder. A strong one. As soon as you entered this world, I saw your future. Your power. Your strength. And I knew you could handle it."
"Handle what?" Shuichi asked, eyes wide.

"Eiri's Chaos."

Shuichi's jaw dropped, and in his confusion, he scooted backwards.

"I gave it to you." She whispered. "It's why, you're so strong." Her voice began to shake, and tears rolled down her cheeks "Why you have so much energy. Why you can heal Eiri." She stood, pacing again "I created a link between you. This child I had never met. I linked you together, your fates, your… destinies..." She sighed "I gave you, his pain, Shuichi." She brushed the tears off of her face "So that my son would live, I hurt you immensely… Can you forgive me?"

Shuichi paused, covering his open mouth as he tried to compute the information that was just given to him. His high Chaos Energy levels were due to Yuki. They were magically linked together, their fates intertwined. He bore the weight of Yuki's pain. It explained so much, but opened the doors to so many other questions.

"I'm so… so sorry, Shuichi." Sara said, reaching for him. "I can't…"

But before she could finish, Shuichi ran from the room.

'Yuki… I have to find Yuki…'

Watching him leave, Sara sighed, sitting back on the edge of the bed.

"And so… it begins."

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!

A.N. This chapter is a bit shorter than I'd have liked, but I'm glad that I finally was able to explain the bond between Shuichi and Yuki, since everyone has been asking about it. I had a bit of fun writing this, since I was finally able to tell the story I've been dying to for ages. The Coffeeshop is up next! See ya then! Thanks for reading!
