"Kinou yori mo takai sora
( From yesterday, the high sky
" Gin no tsubasa de koete yuku yo
( I'll go beyond with silver wings
"Miorosu machii chippokena
( Overlooking a town, so very small
" Tenbyouega e to kawetteku
( It could be a sketch
" SAYONARA wa iwanai to muri ni
( Don't force yourself to say goodbye
"Hashaideta ano egao wasurenai"
( Be happy, I won't forget that smiling face)

The short-haired boy glances back one last time at the long-haired boy. [ I'm sorry koi. I can't stay...] He wipes away a tear as he glides effortlessly onwards on brilliant white wings. [ I'm a coward... I couldn't even tell him goodbye....]
He stares at the retreating white speak and grins, brushing his loose, long hair out of his face. "Hiiro, get this mission done soon..."

"DREAM OF LONELINESS hanaretemo
(Dream of Loneliness Also separated
"Dejitaru na yume o haato de tsunagunosa
(My heart is tied to a digital dream
"DREAM OF LONELINESS ikusen no
(Dream of Loneliness Thousands of
"Hizuke o koetemo onaji jidai no seishi sa"
(Even crossing the dates still fighters of the same period)

The braided boy lays on his side, staring at the picture on the night-stand. He wipes away a tear,"Hiiro, you lied... There was no mission." He reaches out, brushing his fingers over the two winged figures in the picture, " Why.... why Hiiro?"
Faraway in another dark bedroom, a figure lays sprawled across the hotel's worn bed. Upon closer inspection, in the boy's hand is 3 simple objects. A single, long, black feather. A simple, rather worn, golden ring. And an appearantly well-loved photograph of two winged boys, one himself, the other with dark wings, long chestnut hair, and a brilliant grin.

"Hitomi ni fuku kaze ni nori
(Blowing in the eye Racing the wind
"Tokimeku mama ni toki okakeyo
(As it beats catching up to time
"Natsukashisani yowaku haru
(I become weak with yearning
"Sonna shunkan arukeredo"
(For that instant to be)

Standing atop a mountain ledge, a dark figure spreads his wings and takes flight. He glides effortlessly on the wind. His crystal clear, violet eyes scan the ground for something, or someone. His eyes narrow, spootting something. He dives down towards his target.
He sighs and leans against a tree, "Duo...gomen, gomen nasai..." He sweeps a shaking hand across his face, wiping away his tears. He closes his dark, Prussian eyes and leans his head back, crying.

"Sorezore ni ikite yuku no nara
(If several lives go
"Yuzurenai yume o mochi habata kitai"
(Hold the unyielding dream I want to flap my wings)

The long-haired boy lightly lands infront of the shaking boy leaning agianst a tree. His violet eyes turn concerned and he frowns, "Hee-chan? Dajabuku?" Hiiro's head snaps up and his bright blue eyes widen as he whispers, "Duo..." Duo takes a quick step towards him, "why Hiiro, why?"

"DREAM OF LONELINESS massuguni
(Dream of Loneliness Right before you
"Kono sora o musubu mabushii kokoro-tachi
(Dazzling hearts bind this sky
"DREAM OF LONELINESS Kizutsuite
(Dream of Loneliness Wounded
"Hitoti miru yume ga ashita o sasaeteru"
(Dream of one person supports tommarow)

Hiiro tries to take a step backwards, Duo reaches out and gently his hand on the other's tan shoulder. He steps closer and wipes away the short-haired boy's tears, "please tell me, koi, onegai?" Hiiro shakes his head, [I'll sorry Duo...I can't...] He catches his long-haired lover's hand, "gomen... I ... I don't want to hurt you... I ... we..." He collapses, sobbing, to Duo's shoulder. Duo numbly stares down at his usually stoic lover and belatedly wraps both his arms and dark wings around him, trying to comfort him. He gently kisses the messy, dark brown hair, "You had to have a good reason. I trust you koi," Hiiro looks up at him, tears still in his eyes, Duo continues, "What ever the reason, I don't care. You're back, that's all that matters now."

"Dejitaru na yume o haato de tsunagunosa

"DREAM OF LONELINESS ikusen no

"Hizuke o kuetemo onaji jidai no senshi sa"
(Even crossing the dates still fighters of the same period.)

He gently kisses his lover's tears away and hugs him tighter to him. Hiiro's arms shakily work their way around him, gently carressing the long chestnut hair and dark black wings. Their eyes meet, stunning amethyst to deep cobalt. "Gomen Duo, gomen nasai," he pauses, brushing his lips lightly over the other boy's, "kimi wa ai."
Duo smiles brilliantly and kisses him softly in return, gently stroking his back with his hands. After a few minutes of holding each other, Duo pulls his head back slightly, resting his nose against his parnter's. "Hee-chan, let's go home." The stoic boy nods at his cheerful lover.
In the distance, the two winged lovers take flight. One with brilliant white feathers, the other with deep, black feathers.

There, done! Now, OK, I'll admit it. I'm in a really weird mood but, staying up to after 1:30am ona school night watching Escaflowne can do that to you. C& C PLEASE!
