~//[TRC] - Secrets Behind Cracked Smiles

<< < (6/31) > >>

Sakaki:
The blonde mage stood, his clothes torn and billowing around him,
his body cold as stone,
aching...
letting his eyes drift down to stare into the hypnotic depths of the abyss that awaited him.
neverending...

He had always wondered if it would come to this.
Because of you....what I let you take from me...my soul..
Why now, after all this time..when I had almost began to forget..

Fai clutched at the clothing near his chest,
Where my heart should be..
and knew his death was their only hope of getting out of this world alive.
I am responsible if they are taken..

The mage could feel nothing, as silent tears fell from his eyes only to freeze to ice as they dropped into nothingness.

Then suddenly, from far away.......as if from a dream or another world
......he heard Kurogane call his name.....

Ruby Chan:
Kuorgane cursed, pulling his black cloak tighter round his trembling body. How did the wizard manage to live here? It's freezing!

Seeing that the footsteps were fast becoming covered by the new fallen snow, Kuorgane increased his pace, muttering under his breath. Why am I so worried about him? He's just an annoyance...right?

Looking up as the footsteps began to falter, his eyes widened as he saw a tuft of very distinctive blonde hair blowing in the wind. Narrowing his eyes, against the falling flakes, Kurogane prayed that the snow would let up, so that he could see better.

To his surprise, it did. But what he saw shocked him to the bone.

Fai, the wizard who had never stopped smiling until today, the most optimistic of the group...Fai was standing on the edge of what looked to be a very sharp drop, rocking back and forth in the wind. If he even moved forward a fraction, Kurogane had no doubt that he'd fall.

"Fai! Fai! You crazy mage, look at me when I'm calling you!" He bellowed. Fai slowly turned his head to face the ninja, and Kurogane sucked in a breath sharply.

The wizard's beautiful blue eyes were empty, void of all emotion except regret and pain. Tears were frozen to his long eyelashes, and as Kurogane watched, the wind blew strongly, causing the mage's blonde hair to whip wildly around his face. Fai.. curse you Fai, what are you planning?

Taking a slow, careful step forward, Kurogane called out softly.
"Fai? Are you...alright?"

Sakaki:
Fai turned slowly to the sound of his name being called.
Confused at the sight of the tall dark figure standing in the moonilight, Fai flintched and his eyes widened in fear.
Ashura.....? Am I even too late in my own death?
He blinked several times and realised it was not Ashura, but Kurogane.
Kurogane..... I am incapable of saving you, even in my own world......

"You must go back to the others," He said softly to the ninja. "Convince Syaoran that this feather doesn't matter, that it's too dangerous here. You must leave me to do what I have to........before it's too late. Without me you may still have a chance of getting out of this world alive, but if he wakes and comes for me, all those I am close to will suffer."

For the first time since they had entered this cold world, Fai looked across and met Kurogane's eyes.
If there is nothing left of my heart, why do I feel such pain..........

"I can't witness what he will do. I won't be responsible for it. I won't lead him to the one..........to the one I love, Kurogane."
You Kurogane........

And with those words, Fai turned and looked toward the darkness below him and with his golden hair shining in the moonlight, Fai leaned forward to let the wind take him.

Ruby Chan:
Kurogane's frown got larger and larger as Fai continued to talk. What the hell's he on about? And the one he loves? What's that mean?

As Fai began to tip forward, Kurogane suddenly realised what the wizard was planning to do, and he jerked in both shock and panic. No...he can't...he wouldn't...not him...no! I won't let him!

"FAI!" He bellowed, leaping forward as the wizard finally slipped off the cliff edge.
"Faiiii!"

Later, Kurogane would feel that the moment stretched out forever, moving in slow motion. Like a dream, he saw Fai tip into the abyss, still smiling that damned smile, although it was now bittersweet, and was accompanied by crystalline tears that fell from beneath closed eyelids to be blown back in the wind.

He saw himself reaching out to Fai, felt the smooth fabric of the hooded cloak that Fai wore in his grasp.

Watched as he lost his grip. Cried out as Fai plummeted away from him.

And screamed in denial as he heard Fai whisper something that sounded very much like...I love you.

Sakaki:
As he tipped over the edge, wind swirling the snow around his frozen body, Fai suddenly began to remember.....
My friends....they were my friends....
The last many months flashing before his eyes.
If only for a while........

Pain and regret seized the mage's heart as he began to fall.
A love I'll now never know....
This is my sacrifice.....

And the pain in his heart was worse than he'd ever thought it could be.
Goodbye, Ashura........I won't let you win....
Goodbye, Kurogane...........
"I love you......gomen ne," he whispered as he closed his eyes and his fate rushed towards him.
