~//[TRC] - Secrets Behind Cracked Smiles
Sakaki:
"I won't let you..."
Kurogane's words tore at his heart..........hot tears ran down his face, as he breathed in the ninja's scent, and he abruptly wiped them away.
I have to be strong for you......Kurogane....
Perhaps to save you this time...........
"I can't see him hurt you, Kuro-mu.....I can't......I can't......" Fai repeated over and over, resting his blonde head against Kurogane's chest and holding onto the ninja tight.
Fai's body suddenly went stiff and his heart turned cold.......
From behind him came the echoing sound of footsteps............
I Own You, Fai...
I Own Your Soul...........
You Belong To Me..............
He clenched Kurogane tightly, then his slender hands went limp as he let go, forcing himself to lift his head and turn to the hall, where the sound of the heavy footsteps echoed.
Like worlds falling down upon my soul........
Pikari:
So... they had come to the castle. Like a magnet, drawn back to me over and over. You can't escape.
I Own You, Fai...
You don't know it, Fai, but the power I hold over you is stronger than any magic, than any seal you can conjure. Stronger than the distance of a hundred dimensions.
I Own Your Soul...........
The pillar fell away as Ashura turned the corner and there he was. The lithe, blond man stood facing him once again, those hollow blue orbs meeting his own narrowed eyes. Those eyes, the last thing he remembered seeing before being sealed shut in that damned water. He could see those eyes now pooled with fear. Fear of him. You always were pathetic, Fai. No backbone at all.
There was another man with him, dressed all in black. Ashura did not recognize this man. He despised this man's presence immediately, and the cold glare he sent him said exactly that.
Ashura's attention was on the trembling wizard, however. His heavy embroidered robes fell about him regally as he stepped forward. "I knew you would return... Fai." An exultant smile twisted his lips. "You can't stay away."
You Belong To Me.
Sakaki:
Inside, Fai felt completely still, as if frozen inside a dream, but his body began to shake uncontrollably as the footsteps grew closer......every echo crashing through his heart until he felt he could no longer stand.
Instinctively, he stepped away from Kurogane and took one step forward, as if to protect the ninja from even the sight of the approaching King.
And then, He was there.
Ashura..........
The powerful King once again stood before him, long dark hair surrounding his broad, straight shoulders, dark eyes shining with pure hate at Kurogane, and then turning to rest on Fai with an amused rage.
As Fai looked into Ashura's dark eyes......as he had so many months before...he felt a shiver...a merging....as the past and present became one.
The years serving Ashura, bowing down to Ashura, and then betraying him in one quick, unexpected raise of his staff.
"I knew you would return... Fai."
"You can't stay away."
A soft moan escaped Fai, and he nearly dropped to his knees before the wakened King, out of years of forced practice.
Fai cast a quick, careful look to Kurogane, hoping the man hadn't noticed.
See........this is what he brings me to.....and you have no idea how deep my total submission runs........
This man had owned him....in mind and body....and was perhaps powerful enough to take him again.
I'll do anything to protect you from him.....Kurogane...
And unable to speak, he took a step toward the King......
Pikari:
The sight of the smaller man being drawn so helplessly toward him was nearly satisfying enough to supress his rage for the moment. Fai, Fai... when will you learn that you can't live without me? I made you what you are, Fai. The creation cannot turn against its master.
Thoughts of his dark, cold prison returned to him, and Ashura's anger boiled to the surface again. He lifted the staff in his hand - an intricately carved magical staff so similar to the one now obviously missing from the blonde wizard's hand - and hooked the tip of it under the blonde's chin, tilting it upwards so the blue eyes could not avoid his gaze.
"You betrayed me, Fai." The King's voice seethed with calm rage. "You betrayed your King." His eyes narrowed, sensing something else. "...And sold your markings."
The staff pressed dangerously against the wizard's throat. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you now."
Sakaki:
You betrayed me, Fai."
"You betrayed your King."
"...And sold your markings."
Fai's eyes opened wide with surprise.....my markings....how could he.....
but of course he would know......for Ashura was the one who gave him those marking himself.....that night......
As the deadly cold tip of Ashura's staff commanded Fai to look into his dark, rage filled eyes, the wizard found he could not answer the question demanded to him. For he could think of no reason why Ashura shouldn't kill him......why he should be allowed to live.......
And he felt he would gladly impale himself upon Ashura's deadly staff if only to escape this world.........if he didn't have another to protect.....
Another........
Kurogane...........
Fai silently willed the ninja not to speak, not to interfere, for one step toward him, or the smallest move to defend him......and Ashura would know..........
