I LOVE that guy!!! ah *.* I did not create him... Please don't sue me! On with the fic! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- "Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never himself hath said, This is my own, My native land!" (Scott) ********************************************************************* A True Smile (1/2) **Courtney-chan ********************************************************************* "Arigatou Gozaimasu." I stood up knowing what I had to do...The task performed with bitter perfection. That twisting mastery, void of emotion... I... smiled. The painful, bitter curve I've come to know all to well. Never knowing where to go. Wherever would be fine. I am here. Another place I cannot call home. "Home" Watching countless suns rise and fall, unable to embrace the earth and the skies. Alone on a journey marked by cruel fate. 'youth' 'naiveté' 'hapiness' Things I found out were missing... Things I should have aquired... Things that just happened to pass me by... I asked a stranger along the way "Mr..." "Do you know where I can find hapiness?" He laughed heartily oblivious to the gravity of my inquiry... He just left me there... so I smiled. Shielding myself from the perils of existence... Funny how the wind never blows the same... ***** I almost felt like dying sometimes... Death. A word so sweet to ears tired... Lost hope, reflected in apologetic eyes. I never wanted empty pity. And only he understood that. As I look back we were so similar... But he had bandages, and I had my smile. I never wanted to hear that... it was frightening to know that, But it was truth. Himura said so. Shishiho was weak so he lost. I honestly considered death. But the light was so tempting. The thirsting for truth, a meaning to the raw cry of what said to be my life... The life of Seta Soujiro... Funny how I could never bring myself to take it. I don't understand. Intoxicated by hunger, It seemed as if hunger itself directed my body to this restaurant... The Aoiya. It had been days since I had eaten. Why I do not know, But I was grateful for this chance. I sat down in an empty booth. I leaned back to close my eyes. When I opened them, I found myself staring into deep pools of blue. But it wasn't the chronic melancholy blue of sadness, but a blue deeper than any sorrow i've known. I stared into the dancing pools until her voice snapped me back into reality... "Hello? May I take your order???" To Be Continued ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Notes: 1. The next part will be coming soon!...
