Read/Review!Chapter 12
Miaka was worried sick. She bent over a sleeping Sai. It had been days since the accident, and he had showed no signs of life. Mentally, she prayed to Suzaku not to take him away from her.
After long hours, she decided to leave. After all, she was not allowed to stay in a hospital after hours. Unwillingly, she let go of his hand, stood up and turned to leave.
wrap her, pulling her close.
"Never….never in forever will I leave you….I love you….my Miko….I belong to you for eternity….my Suzaku no Miko." Miaka recoiled fast, as her heart pelted. She didn't know what it was, but something caused her heart to flutter. Perhaps, it was because he was awake, or perhaps it was because he say it.
She let him hold her, feeling warm and safe. Somehow her heart leapt and she felt thrilled. Taking her hands, she hugged his neck, pulling his head close to her.
They held each other for what seemed to be like forever, until Miaka finally withdrew.
"Sai…." She called out. He held out a finger and touched her lips. "Sh…Didn't I tell you before…Miaka…you could call me Hotohori…." Miaka smiled weakly. "You never responded to that….here…um…in this world…." "I was asleep….and after the accident, I've woken up again…." Miaka only nodded, before hugging him again.
"I miss you….I knew it was you….I miss you so so much….." Hotohori stroke her back gently. "I was so scared…I thought I was going to lose you…." "Miaka…its alright….I've spoken to Suzaku…." Miaka's eyes widen. "and I've given up everything….for a chance to be with you….I have you to Thank Miaka." He released her. "for everything…."
He paused, and made her look directly at him. She shifted uncomfortably, but kept the gaze. "I want to tell you something, before I forget again."
"I always thought, reincarnation was a new beginning. I would become someone else. I would have to start again to gain your love, that is if I found you…." Sai looked directly into Miaka's eyes. "because of you, I was willing to do that…" Miaka stared at him. "however, you showed me wrong. You proved me wrong."
"Before I remembered, I hated myself…for being second best. I hated myself for being second to my other part. So I tried hard, to change you, to change me…. …to make you forget…." "Oh…Hotohori…." "and that was my mistake….that was what I tried the first time." "Baka-Hotohori!! Baka!" "but I realize now, that time matters…love was built on more then sand, and therefore it can't be broken easily…" He heaved in a sigh.
"Miaka…because I remember now. Which of me do you love? As Hotohori or Sai….? Or do you still prefer….HIM?" "Baka! Baka! Why are you talking like this. I love you just the way you are. You are Hotohori, Sai….I admit there are differences, but I don't care. I don't care. You're both the same person." Sai laughed. "and I love you just the same! Time, space, worlds. it makes no difference…" Miaka paused. "I told you before. I love you Hotohori….I didn't realize that before….but you took it the wrong way…and thought I didn't love you….You thought you had a rival….you rivaling against yourself….and that just makes me laugh!"
Sai redden. "So it doesn't matter?!" "Baka! Why would it…." She paused. "ever since you disappeared along with the rest. Ever since I actually lived with Taka for a while…I realized I choose the wrong person. He wasn't the one I loved. It was you…."
Sai was going to begin again, but Miaka waived her off. "Closed discussion. Just remember…Aishiteru ne…?" Sai nodded. "Aishiteru Miaka…" Miaka smiled.
"Hm…well then Hotohori…I need to go now. I'll be back tomorrow eh? The hospital's about to close…and I got to leave before Keisuke accuses me of hanging around with another stranger….He's a bit too overprotective…." Sai nodded. "I'll like to meet him…." Miaka shook her head. "nah, you won't want to…" Sai raised his eyebrow as Miaka left without saying anything else.
That night
The phone rang. "Keisuke get that would you?" Miaka cried, as she was too busy devouring dinner. Her brother, who was absorbed in a manga, sighed. Begrudginly, he went to pick it up.
"Hello, Yuki residence…." "Um…Keisuke….Miaka please…" The person on the other line spoke hoarsely. Keisuke was about to bang the phone down, but something held him back. "Please…I need to speak with her…" Keisuke's bitterness for the other grew. He wasn't, under no circumstances let that person near his sister again. "Look…you've got something to say…say it to me…I'll decide….You've hurt her to bad…I swear to Suzaku, if I find you in proximity with my sister…I will kill you…" Bang! He slammed the phone down.
"Keisuke? Daijoubu desu ka?" Miaka asked, standing at the doorway to the living room. She had heard how angry her brother had been, and she wondered who it was.
Keisuke looked up at her. "Nothing…" Still, he pulled the telephone cord off its jack. Miaka walked over and squatted down next to him, peering into his eyes. Using her hand, she plugged it in.
"Come one…tell…." Miaka didn't finish. The phone interrupted again. Keisuke leaned forward to get it, but Miaka beat him to it.
"Hello?" she asked. "Miaka…." "Yes…?" soundly coldly, though somehow relieved to hear the other person. "Meet me in 1/2 hour in the national library, restricted section….I'm already there….I'll be waiting…" A pause. "That is…if you still…still want to give us a chance" "but…how... what…why…" she never got to finish as she heard the click on the other end.
Many things rushed into her all at once, questions and feelings. For a minute she didn't know what to do. She checked her watch. It was 9:00 pm. The library was closed. She wondered if it was a joke. However, his voice sounded urgent and her heart told her it was not a joke.
"Keisuke….I need to get to the public library now…." "Nani? Are you crazy!!" He checked his watch. "At this hour…9:00 pm…" "Please…you have to understand…." "No…" he replied firmly, before squinting his eyes. "Who was it anyway…." Miaka rolled her eyes. "Who do you think?" Keisuke's face darkened. "You won't be seeing him…not at this hour….never again…if I can help it…"
"Oh…Suzaku….dam it aniki! I know who I am dealing with. I know him better then you ever will! Right now…my heart's telling me something's wrong….really wrong…."
"First off….it makes no sense for Sai to suddenly wake up and remember…out of the blue….It isn't suppose to happen! If so…he's not suppose to wake up questioning me and himself about love!! Something must have happened, between the accident and his wakening"
"Secondly…I've been having some strange feelings myself. Someone, something has been calling to me, tugging at me. I've been trying to ignore it…but now it seems more evident…."
"Last of all….He just called. You know…he was the other driver…that we crashed into…." "yes….you told me…." Keisuke's voice was dip with bitterness. "It's no wonder….after that big fight you three had…" His voice trailed off. "Anyways….there must be a reason…why he wants to meet me at this hour in the national library, in the restricted section…" Miaka took in another breath. "I think…I think its all connected. Maybe Suzaku's trying to tell us something…."
Neither one spoke for a while.
"Then I'm coming with you…" Keisuke cracked his knuckles. "If this is just another excess to hurt you……" Miaka eyed him, but didn't speak. She watched as he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Tetsuya…Sorry, its me Keisuke…." "Hm…hey buddy…. so late…" "get over here now eh…." "hm…what for…" "just get over here….I'll explain on the way…."
"Why you call him…" Miaka asked as he hung up. Whenever that happened in the past, it always became disastrous. "Do you want to walk there…." Her brother asked. She shook her head. It was just an excuses. Miaka knew otherwise. She rarely saw her brother without his best friend, whom he had known since the beginning of his life time.
Ok…so sorry for the long wait. I hope its still good. R/R!
