To be with You

~By Lovely-chan~

“She's always been a royal pain!” Yutaka laughed. “You know…I loved her face, she was furious! Ha! Ha!”

“Don’t be so cruel!” He laughed remembering how funny her faced looked when she saw Yutaka in the room. “She must be pulling her hair out right now.”

“She deserved it…now…let’s left this home and make that ice cream, you promised!”

“OK! I’ll fix that in a moment; don’t worry. Then we make some ice cream. I want to spend what I have left with you.”
 

The party began and most of Kouin’s friends were there- the entire Council, his family and closest friends, but Yutaka wasn’t there. Where is he? He thought, while feeling a little anxious.

“Are you enjoying this, father?”

“Yes.”

“You look distracted. Is he coming?”

“Yes, but I don’t know what’s keeping him.”

“Is that why you're so tense? Maybe he doesn’t want to see you go.”

“I don’t know, but he promised to be here.”

“I’ll tell godfather.” He left to tell Hokano about Yutaka-he wanted to see his father smiling, and Hokano promised to go look for him in a few moments since he was busy.

“Kouin, my love.” Kai grabbed his arm smiling. “I’ll miss you.”

“Kai…I’ll miss you too, but we are not together anymore. Do you understand? I won’t be waiting for you as my mate anymore. I gave Yutaka my love, and this is our symbol of love.” He showed her his necklace. “Don’t you dare to break mine too, what you did was horrible. I love Yutaka; do you understand how I feel?”

“Oh!” Her eyes were wet. “I understand…but we can still be friends, right? We have a son.” He nodded. “Then let’s dance.”

“No…I’m…”

“Waiting for him? Ok, do what you want.” She left angry and stepped near the entrance to make sure Yukata couldn't enter. Earlier she'd seen Yutaka trying to enter the party, but was having trouble with the guards. “Don’t let him in, he is not invited and will only cause disgusts to my love.”

“Kai! You know Kouin is waiting for me!”

“How dare you call his highness by his name? Take him out!”

“Yes, highness.” They bowed low and ordered him to go.

“She’s lying! She’s lying! KOUIN!!!!!” He was pushed outside and sat on the floor crying with so much pain in his heart. “Kouin…” I promised I’ll come…I have to see him before he goes. I have to!

Kouin was sitting completely unhappy and with red eyes almost letting out his tears. He’s not coming. Why? “HOKANO!!!” He called almost desperate and the male quickly stepped beside him. “I need a last favor. I can’t leave this place, but you can…please go find him. I need to see him before I go, please.” His eyes were pleading with desperation and Hokano was unable to say no to him.

“I’ll find him, I promise.” He took off immediately.

“Kouin, it’s time to go.” His master called him waiting near a pillar of light that went straight to the sky, it seemed endless to whoever stepped beside it, and by using the pillar angels could travel to Eden.

All the cities in Tengoku were placed highly above the ground looking like huge plates floating in the air, but they were held in place by an invisible energy field. Because they were at the Gates- the way to travel between cities and planets-  the place was completely opened with no walls surrounding them. It was forbidden for children to be there because of the danger for them to fell down the precipice. “Kouin are you coming?”

“But master…”

“Come, we must part.”

He walked closer to his master and whisper. “He’s not here. I need to see him.”

“Turn around.”

He did as his master told him and saw the little figure of Yutaka running toward him. “KOUIN!”

“YUTAKA!” They both began crying immediatly. Kouin opened his arms to receive him; everyone was staring strangly at the love scene.Yutaka was only a few feet away from Kouin; Kai Ling’s anger took over.

“NOOO!!!” Her eyes shinned and her body exploded with her energy traveling quicker than thunder against Yutaka throwing him down the precipice with the strong impact.

“YUTAKA!!!” Kouin was hysterical to see him fall- it seemed endless. Without thinking, he threw himself down the precipice to catch him, all the while thinking that this time he wouldn’t leave the one he loved. He chose to die along with him, but not to suffer another lifetime without him.

“No, Kouin!” His father yelled in frustration when he saw his son jump to the abyss.

“Grandpa! Daddy! Daddy just…he just…ahhh!” Kouin's son broke down, crying in his grandfather’s arms while everyone stared in shock.

Kouin was falling with amazing speed almost reaching his beloved’s body while two golden wings appeared on his back at the same instant he reached him. “Yutaka!” He grabbed him tight and spread his wings amazed to be able to save his beloved. His body glowed intensely with his golden light while holding Yutaka. “Yutaka…wake up love. Wake up.” He started flying slowly back to the top trying to awake his lover without luck. The shock Kai gave him almost killed him driving Kouin mad. “YUYU!!! Open your eyes!” He reached the top and he stayed in the air holding his love against his chest. Everyone stared at the beauty of his wings and were completely shocked to see them alive.

“Kyuseishu, look! Your father…he has wings!”

He turned to look and his eyes shinned with emotion. “Father! He is alive!”

For all the citizens it was an incredible moment, none of them have ever seen a winged angel, even when they visited the planet, none of them were able to see the higher angel’s wings, until now. “Yutaka…I’ll give you my strength.” He closed his eyes and healed his wounds helping his energy to flow normally again. It was a good thing his wounds weren’t that deep. “Open your eyes, my love.” He took his hand and caressed Yukata's face lovingly waiting for his lover to open his eyes.

Slowly Yutaka opened his eyes finding the two blue eyes he adored so much looking down at him. “Kou…it’s you.”

“You’re ok!” His lips drew a wide smile when he saw the two big green eyes he loved so much opened again.

“You…you’re flying! That means…you saved me?” He nodded. “Why?”

“I rather die with you than see you die again. I love you.” He kissed him still squeezing the younger man's slender body in his arms and flying above the city. Everyone stared at them kissing; they had a feeling it was right.

Yutaka saw his hand holding his and he smiled. “You are holding my hand…you didn’t let go.”

“I’ll never let go again, you are my everything- I could never love another.” He kissed him once again and after their kiss ended, he floated down, putting his beloved on his feet happy to be able to save him.
 

“Kouin, you should close your wings.” His master ordered him, it was forbidden to show their wings. Because of the emergency and because Kouin didn’t know it, his master dismissed the notion quickly.

He obeyed his master’s commands and closed his wings leaving golden feathers blowing in the air. “I love your wings.” Yutaka grabbed one of his golden feathers and smiled while softly touching his face with it. “Soft…humm.”

“I’m glad you like them.” Yutaka laid his head on his chest and smiled looking up to his face.

“Thank you…for saving me, my love.”

“There’s no need.” Suddenly all the eyes turned to where Kai Ling was standing and she started stepping back. “How could you Kai? You shouldn’t hurt anyone, anyone. You know you can’t use your powers to hurt others, only to heal and save the least fortunate ones.”

“Kouin I…I’m sorry!” She fell on her knees. “I was so jealous! So jealous!” She cried hopeless and ashamed, but most of all scared of what may happen to her after her attack. “I’m so ashamed.”

Kouin walked slowly till he was right in front of her, she looked at his feet and then up to his eyes expecting for the worst, but to her surprise he gave her his hand and help her up. “You should be ashamed for what you did. I am sorry everything turned out this way, you and I were always very close and now…it’s my fault for bringing you here when you weren’t ready for this type of compromise. When I looked for you I though it was a good thing, but with time I found out you weren’t ready. You lived on Earth because that was where you belonged and I forced your evolution. I’m sorry, I just wanted to give a family to our son and give you the right you had as a mother. I made a mistake. I am no longer the ruler of this planet, so it’s not my choice what punishment you should have, but I only wish you let go of all anger and hate or else you will never complete your evolution. I love you very much, and hope you find your way.” He looked to where his son was completely shocked for all that happened. “Kyuseishu, I need you to take care of your mother and guide her. I know you can do it, and no matter what’s Hokano’s decision you must accept it and give your mother the support she’ll need through the bad times.” He extended his arm to him and he came grabbing his father’s hand. “Don’t abandon her, she needs you now more than ever.”

“I won’t father, I promise.” Kouin hugged the two of them and kissed their foreheads lovingly.

“I must go now.” He looked to Hokano and smiled. “I trust your judgment.” Hokano nodded and gently smiled to his dear friend while watching him walk away. “I’m ready, master.”

“Let’s go.”

Master Chidou stepped into the light waiting for Kouin when he suddenly ran off and squeezed his beloved. “I’ll miss you my love, I’ll miss you. Please remember me…I’ll think of you always.”

“Kouin…I promise. I will love you always.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.” He gave Yutaka a last kiss goodbye, and with crying eyes; he stepped into the light disappearing at that same instant leaving only an echoing voice that sounded softly in the air. “I love you!”

When he saw his dear Kouin disappear he realized he wouldn’t be able to see him again in who knows how many years and ran crying in desperation toward the light trying to reach him. “KOUIN!!! Don’t leave me!!!” He grabbed into the light but it vanished right away. “NOOO!!! NO! NO! NO! COME! DON’T LEAVE!!” He was yelling hopeless looking up to the sky. “KOUIN! KOUIN! KOUIN!!!!! No. No. AHHHH!!!” He fell down on his knees and cried without consolation for his loss. “I’ll miss you.”

Hokano walked toward him to helped him up but it was impossible to make him step from the floor. Therefore, he lifted him up, carrying him to his room. “Calm down, you are not the only one sad. I know how you feel.”

“Call him back.”

“I can’t, little one, I can’t.” He walked away carrying the young one but before he left he looked to Kai straight to the eyes. “I’ll let you know my decision tomorrow. I’m not Kouin, but I’ll be considerate because of him and his son. I’ll be considerate because he once gave me the chance when I was in your position.”

“Thank you.” She had no choice but to put her feet back to the ground, she always treated Hokano very harshly and now she was in his hands so she had to be at least polite.

Hokano took Yutaka to his room and layed him down. “I’ll change your room tomorrow, Kouin asked me to take care of you and I will. I’ll give you the place he would like you to have, and this is the worst room in the city, I don’t even know who gave you this horrible room, no one is supposed to have it. Anyways…drink this.”

“What’s that?”

“It will calm you down, don’t worry I know a lot about medicine, so it won’t kill you.”

“Ok. I trust you…Kouin trusted you, so I can too.”

“Thank you. What do you want me to do with Kai?”

“I don’t know…I wouldn’t like to see her again, but…there’s Kouin’s son and…I don’t hate her. I pity her, so don’t be so hard on her.”

“Very well…good night.”
 

Kai was left in Tengoku, but had to spend three moths on the temple under complete meditation and isolation. After that she was ordered to do community work helping the children in the Village where Yutaka grew up. Yutaka was moved into a nice room and Kouin’s father became his master; he'd could start working not only with the people outside, but also with his inner self.

Many years passed after the day Kouin left, so many they seemed eternal. He was in Eden doing his usual work every day. In Heaven all the angels had to work hard to help the less fortunate countries of the universe, giving the people from those planets the tools they needed to eliminate karma and reach a higher level to find their way to Eden.

“Two million planets about to be destroyed, it’s terrible! We need to do something fast!”

Suddenly his best friend appeared. “Yeah, it’s horrible, but I think you can leave that for later, there is something very important you must attend.”

“What can be more important? Hokano, you know this is my life! I must do something, I just don’t know what else to do…I wish they could understand.”

“Kouin, please come. Chidou is calling for you. He said it was VERY important.”

“Ok, ok. I’m coming.” Hokano smiled and guided him to where Chidou was waiting for him. “What is it Master? I’m very busy.”

“I know…but we have that under control, you have the week off.”

“But why? You know I’m very involved with this mission!”

“I know, don’t worry we have many more missions for you. This one would be resolved without you.”

“It’s not fair! I…I worked so hard with these people, they expect to see me there.”

“I think you will forget about that soon, so don’t complain. I have another mission for you.”

“And that is?” He wasn’t happy with the decision.

“I want you to be happy.”

“What? That’s not a mission!”

“I want you to concentrate on your happiness and stop working so much.”

“But I like what I do.”

“And I don’t doubt it, but…I have a surprise for you.”

“Surprise? What can possibly surprise me?”

“What if I tell you that someone is waiting for you right now in your chamber.”

“In my chamber? Did I get a room mate?”

“Yes.”

“Now that’s a great surprise!” He said that in an ironic tone. Great, that means Yuyu won’t come like in another 100 years!

“You go meet your room mate now.”

“Yes…” He started flying away very disappointed with the news. “Hey!” He turned around. “What that’s got to do with me being happy?”

“That’s the surprise you fool! You still haven’t figured it out? I thought you were smarter boy.”

His eyes widen in disbelief. “Does that mean…?” Chidou nodded. “Yutaka is here!”

“GO!”

“AHHH!!!” He left quickly flying as fast as he could, yelling Yukata's name like crazy trying to find him sooner. Yutaka finally heard his screams as Kouin was getting closer and flew to the sky to go find his beloved. From a little far he could see a young man with beautiful white wings and hair flying his way and screaming his name. “YUTAKA!!!!”

“KOUIN! KOUIN!”

They finally reached each other crying like two little fools and squeezing each other in the air. “My love! You’re finally with me! OH! I’m so happy!”

“Kouin…this is a dream…you and I, it’s you with me again…it’s just can’t be!”

“Yuyu…my dear Yuyu.” They held tightly for long minutes without even looking their faces, just feeling their warmth and their skin. “I missed you! I missed you so much…what took you so long?”

“My ignorance and stupidity. It took me 300 years to finally reach you.”

“300? I though they were billions of years. Let me look at you.” Their eyes shinned with happiness and love; it was the happiest moment for both of them. Kouin couldn’t remember about his mission anymore all he wanted was to be beside the one he loved and missed for so long. “No one will tear us apart ever again, promise?”

“I promise. I’ll be with you forever!” They finally kissed and went to their chamber to for some privacy; all the angels in the area were watching happily the young couple. “Baby…you have a halo. You’re so cute!!”

“You’ll get one too…now come here with me and hug me, kiss me, squeeze me, pinch me, love me and do it all over again.”

“As you wish.”

“You owe me 300 years of kisses and love...so you better start now or you won’t ever catch up.”

“I think I’ll never catch up.”

“Then…you must love me eternally.” They giggled and snuggled in bed holding their bodies close smiling as they kissed and continued to make love. Their wish to be together was finally granted, so many years they waited but for them it was worth the wait. It was better to have love late than to never have love at all.

The End
 

Notes:

Tengoku - The planet where Kouin, Yutaka and all low and mid angels lived.

High Angel - The ruler or leader of Tengoku

High or higher angels - angels from Eden or heaven, the ones with wings and highest consciousness.
 

Miscellaneous:

After six months of living together in Eden, Yutaka had a baby. Only a few male angels were able to have children, and he was one of them. The men couples always had one capable of giving a child to birth, that’s why they were accepted as a couple- but they were just a few. The rest were normal couples. Yutaka will not give birth to a child the same way humans do, he won’t have to go through all that pain at all, the baby will come out easily by using a special procedure in which they take the baby out of the belly inside an energy field that will fade when the baby is ready.
