Disclaimer: Don't own FY sings the blues Nuh-uh-uhhhh...
AN: I'm really going off on a weird tangent of semi-Miaka/Taka material...odd, really...I totally couldn't do it if it were Tamahome(right...?) but adding a splash of Taka seems to ground the story, and lend a sense of cannonism to the entire fic(even if how I...'dispose' of him is unrealistic..) it's really somewhat irritating...I'm finding it difficult to do these without him(except in things like TUFG, where I start carving things out early)
I don't know Japanese traditions for New Years(very well), but from what I've seen
A) it's not nearly as energetic! XD
B) I'm not sure it's the right date for what I want
C) It's simply too difficult to carry out my devices properly with it!
So thus...henceforth(blah blah blah) I have combined (as per my authorism authority) the Japanese and American holidays!
BWAHAHAHAHAH!
(About Taka's age: Tamahome was 17 when they met in december, 3 months in book, then three months out of the book makes it June, a few months later, Tamahome would be 18. Then Taka is reborn in december(since no time passed in RL), and his birthday comes by in June, making him 19...technically, and in the december that they are in now, the next birthday would be 20, see? So, while technically he'd be 19 that year, since he's being a dweeb he says 20)

Valentine's Miracle
Chapter 1: Breakup
"Can we talk somewhere quiet?"
"What? Why?"
"I...need to talk to you..." He said, gesturing toward a quiet room.
"Um...okay..."
I wonder what he wants? I mean, it is New Years...maybe...
As it often did when she was trying to guess Taka's intentions, her mind went off on several in-depth fantasies of impossible and absurd scenarios.
Of course...the real scenario never measured up to even her tamest fantasies...
"Miaka..."
"Yes...?" She replied, her mind replaying ideas once more.
"How long has it been now?" He laughed, looking at the wall behind her.
"A year..." she said, Last week was our anniversary
"Wow...amazing how time flies..."
"Yeah...when you're having fun, it really does..." She said, "Our first 3 months seemed like years, though.."
"I suppose they did..."
"Taka?" She whispered, anxious. "What are you getting at?"
"You know, it might have only been a year...but we were so much younger then..." He said, ignoring her question.
"Ta...ka...?"
"I guess we've seen more than most people in a lifetime..." He laughed, "But one wonders, will June be my 2nd birthday, or my 20th?"
"Tw-twentieth, of course!"
"I wonder how long it's been in the book...how all of them are doing...?"
Fear was gripping her throat as she spoke. "What's wrong...?"
"Miaka..." He said, finally looking down at her. "I think..."
"You think..."
"I think that..."
"Taka...?" Her voice chocked as tears threatened to spill.
"I mean, who marries the first person they meet?"
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Keisuke! Look! 15 seconds!" A slightly tipsy Tetsuya said over the din of the party.
Of course, he needn't say anything, as the crowd was already counting down.
"14!"
My New Years resolution: Get and keep a girlfriend!
"12!"
Gee...Miaka could technically marry Taka this year...
"10!"
No way, Mom would freak!
"9!"
Where is Miaka, anyway?
"8!"
Man, the crowd's really getting worked up...
"7!"
But it is kind of exciting anyway...
"6!"
Hey! This would be Taka's first New Year, right?
"5!"
No, wait...I guess he was around last year, too...
"4!"
Where is Miaka!
"3!"
1994 here we come!
"2!"
Maybe this year will be less troublesome than the last two...
"1!"
The cries of "Happy New Year!" we're mingled with a very distinctly anguished scream—Miaka.
And there goes any silly notions of a 'peaceful' year...
Keisuke gave an oppressed sigh, before rushing through the throng of people now singing 'Auld Lang Syne' toward the girl crumpled in a corner, sobbing.
What could have happened to her!
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
The people outside were singing now, laughing and drinking to the New Year.
It's the new year now...and I'm spending it all alone...
She suddenly felt very tired as she leaned back against the wall, sobbing.
I don't understand...he promised me he'd be with me forever! We both gave up so much just to be together! She shook her head, as memories of her beloved Celestial Warriors came to mind. Not just us...everyone gave up so much for us! How can he just throw it all away!
"Miaka?"
She froze. It wasn't Taka, he had walked away shortly after kicking her to the curb, joining in the celebrations, utterly oblivious to her pain, absolutely uncaring of her feelings.
"Keisuke...just go away..." she whispered through a hoarse throat..
"What's wrong, Miaka?" He asked, kneeling next to her, and blatantly ignoring her command.
"Didn't you hear me? I said go away..."
"Sorry, all I keep hearing is 'Please help me, big brother!'"
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed, running out of the room.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Miaka!"
"Miakaaa Yuukiiii!"
Keisuke cringed. Then, Mom must have been told...
"She's not here, Mom!"
"Where is she!" The woman fumed, barging into his room.
"I don't know...she's been really out of it since Taka left..."
The woman frowned. "That was...unfortunate...but she shouldn't have expected her first crush to be forever..."
"Mom...you know she's explained it was more than that!"
"Either way, she promised me she wouldn't let their relationship interfere with her school!" Mrs. Yuuki sniffed. "And dropping out because of a fight with him..."
"Breakup."
"Whatever! The point is, I knew this was going to happen!"
"Mom! This is not the time! What Miaka needs now is support, comfort, and understanding...not one of your lectures!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Numb...could that word be used to describe her?
Gray...did that properly explain the world of horrors around her?
No...numbness was far out of reach...the pain was too sharp...too fresh...the concept that this pain could even numb was simply absurd, this wound could never even begin to mend...a mortal wound could never stop bleeding fresh.
The world around her could not be described as gray–that would be too light, too soft for the harsh darkness that pressed around from all sides, everything accentuating and drawing to immediate and constant attention the cold fact that she was completely alone...betrayed by the only one she loved...
No...not the only one...and that was what froze her heart so, leaving her chest a block of ice...that she had given up not one, but two perfectly wonderful, honorable men for the one that kicked her to the curb only a year later.
Would 'he' abandon me? She wondered, drawing up an image of her most beloved warrior. She had always told herself what she felt for him was entirely platonic, but nothing had ever hurt her so much as when he died...it had been as if someone had ripped out her heart, crushed it under their heel, and shredded it with a dull knife.
For months she would wake up in the middle of the night, sobbing. Even thinking of his warm, innocent eyes, his soft smile, his always-understanding voice...
'He' would never leave me... She shook her head. 'He' could never leave me!
She shivered as she trudged through the snow. In the interest of heat, she entered a small candy shop.
"Happy Valentines day!" Called the manager from the employee's room. "I'll be with you in a minute!"
She couldn't help a small smile. He has a nice voice..
She sighed as she gazed down at the many decadent chocolates behind the glass. This would be Taka's first Valentines...
A flicker of hope sparked within her at the thought.
Maybe if I get him a super-expensive, super-beautiful, super-delicious chocolate, he'll forgive me for whatever I did! Her heart soared and then plummeted in the same breath. But...I don't know what Taka likes...I...don't know...anything...about him...
She sniffed back sobs, as tears filled her eyes. After everything we've been through--all the times he promised he'd never leave me! He was just another liar!
She shook her head, Oh, Suzaku...please...let him know how sorry I am for being stupid enough to leave him alone...please let him forgive me...
"Oh, Suzaku..." She whispered, voice choked with tears.
"Bless you!"
The world seemed to freeze in it's rotation, as she looked over at thesource of the voice.
His eyes were just asshe remembered, hissmall smile...silky hair...
Hereyes widened as she lookedup at him, and the nwith a cry, she leapt into hisarms. "Hotohori!"
AN: Ahh, isn't that like the end of a good lil' one-shot? Sadly, I can't let it be...
It's not that I want Miaka to suffer...I'm just in the sameposition Watase was...she blew her easy chance...>.
