To be with You

~By Lovely-chan~

It was late, the stars were twinkling in the sky brighter than ever-the two moons glowed fully almost brightening the area as much as the sun, but only with a cool light instead of hot. On the sheet spread on the grass, two men were kissing and touching each other eagerly, without noticing how late it already was.

“Make love to me, highness.”

“Kouin…say Kouin.”

“Make love to me…Kouin.”

“I want to…but I can’t.” The angel sat up, still tempted by the young man’s pleads.

“Why?”

“It’s a process…I mustn’t have sex with anyone.”

“What process?”

“I am getting prepared and soon I’ll be going if I pass the last test.”

Going? Where?! “What are you talking about? Where’re you going?”

“To Eden.”

“To Eden! How can you go there? Why?” I don’t want you to go!!

“Let me explain… People change every day, some for good, others for bad.” He paused. ”Life is a cycle in which you have what you build…and as time passes, your castle can be filled with traps or maybe just a real paradise. If that’s the case, you are ready for the next level. Each soul possess a mission and if you go through life without doing it, you will come back as many times as you need to to finally erase all the wrong you did and make all the good you should have done in the beginning. Depending in which state your soul is, it’s the planet you must live.”

“I don’t understand…I’m so dumb.”

“Don’t say that...” Kouin smiled lightly. “Look, as simple humans we are in a lower level, but some humans are more elevated than others. Those in higher range can move to a next level and go to a new way of life in a new planet, that’s my case. Only that I am in a higher range than any normal human since I’m a mid level angel...well actually I’m becoming a high angel, that’s the process I mentioned to you before, and part of that process is physical pureness and of course, pureness of my soul as well. That’s why I can’t sleep with you.”

“How do you get to the higher levels? How can I go to Eden too?”

“You must connect with your inner self stronger than any other angel that lives in Tengoku, so you can reach the high angels consciousness and then you can go to Eden. You see this jewels in my forehead?” He nodded. “You know what they mean right?”

“You are a high angel.”

“Yes, and you only have one small triangle because you are a low angel, that means you must work hard to reach the level I’m at now.”

“Ohh.” I can’t go with him. His eyes turned sad.

“Don’t be disappointed. That is the process every living creature should live, all in their own level, every soul lives in a planet to where his level of consciousness fits the ones surrounding him, if they surpass the level of the planet they are living in, then they must part to another one. That’s why I can’t stay here anymore.”

“That’s why people die in other planets? To go to another one?”

“Sometimes, but other times they come back to the same planet if they didn’t learn their lesson. I guess you paid your karma on Earth.” By sacrificing your life for me.

“Be cause I’m here now, right?” He nodded. “Can people go to a lower planet?”

“Yes. We once lived in Eden, but we’ve committed some mistake and were sent to another planet to learn our lesson. Now we’re almost ready to go back to where we belong.”

“That’s a fallen angel?”

“Exactly.”

“How you will transform now? Will you get wings? I was told high angels have wings. Do you have wings?”

“No, do you see my wings?” They laughed. “I don’t know what will happen…it’s a secret from the higher angels. That’s what Master Chidou told me.”

“You met him?” He helped me.

“Yes, he is in the West side right now…my son is with him.”

“Your son? You mean…you have a mate?!” He was surprised and very jealous with the news.

“Yes…didn’t you know? Everyone knows everything about me…well…not what’s in my heart.”

He has a mate!!! “I didn’t know…I never pay much attention to the High Angels rituals…I though I’d never meet one.”

“Well…at least you should know about the history of the planet. You know what happened 35 years ago? About the disease that almost vanished this planet?”

“Yes…but I never understood it very much. I wasn’t born back then…actually…I never pay attention to studies, only to music.”

“Ha! Ha! That’s you! You haven’t changed a bit! Never like to study…only music and poetry.”

“Yeah, I love poetry! You know a lot about me.” That’s so sweet. “Hum…so that means you are like…40 years old?”

“A little more, 42. You must pay more attention, what I just told you is something you should’ve know since you were three years old, it’s very important.”

“I’m sorry…I never listen, but with you is different. I can listen to you forever.”

“That’s sweet…” He looked away for a second, then back at Yutaka. “I have to go, Yuyu…I’ll think about you.” Kouin placed a kiss on his lips and stood up. “I can’t believe I passed this test.” He smiled to his dear one, and left to his home a little unsure of making the right choice-he wanted to stay.

“He is so wonderful!” Yutaka threw himself back and smiled looking at the stars. “I…I think I love him too.” He grabbed a pillow and wrapped himself with the sheet Kouin forgot, remembering he left everything, including the painting. “I can cheat! Ha! Now I can see it!” Still wrapped on the sheet, he walked to where the painting was and lifted the sheet his angel had placed over it. “What…what’s that silhouette?” He was looking at the painting, and yes he was in it, but-behind him was a figure that looked like a ghost and was floating above him. “It looks like…like me, but…with black and short hair!” His heart shrunk and in his head he could see his face looking in the mirror-the reflection of the one drawn in the painting. “What’s that memory…a flashback?” He shook his head and covered the painting. Creating an energy capsule with his bracelet, he left all of Kouin’s belongings inside it. “That’s me…I’m sure.” Back in his room, he bathed and washed his face many times, all the while trying to erase that memory he'd had before. “That face…I’m scared.” He looked in the mirror and saw his silky white hair falling down gracefully- and his green eyes. “That’s me…that’s the Yutaka I know.” He smiled at his reflection and then saw it again. It was his face, but the hair was short and black, and he looked a little thinner than him, but it was his reflection for sure. “AH!!” He threw the towel to the mirror and ran away to his bed. “That’s not me…I’m different. My hair is white, white!” He took a piece of hair in his right hand and looked at it. “White.” He stayed still in his bed, but even when his heart was shaking, he was able to sleep.

"Thank you, no one ever showed me so much love like you have tonight…you are a treasure for me."  "What are you talking about? You are coming with me." "Let’s hurry babe.” “We have to go, baby…this is forbidden.” He could listen to his voice, it was a memory, but couldn’t see anything. All he saw was when he let go of his hand; then he woke up. “KOUIN! Kouin…you let go of my hand. What happenend? What happenend on Earth?” Yutaka had a dream of the past, but still couldn’t remember clearly what happen. “Maybe I’m really his dear Yutaka, but…I don’t want him to love me because of him…I want him to love me, only me.” He cried sadly, thinking the only reason Kouin was getting close to him was because of that other guy that he'd been in love with in the past- who appearantly looked similar to him. “That’s why…and I though he may like me for me. I’m such a fool…no one ever liked me.”

The next day Yutaka didn’t go to the gardens and Kouin was worried. “What if something happen to him? I should go see…I don’t know his room number…humm. Of course I do!” At that moment he pushed a button on his bracelet and a computer hologram appeared before him, he started looking in the database to found where he was staying since he had access to every single file and document of the entire planet. “Bingo! Room 895 South. South? …But that room is very apart from the others. Why is he there?” He immedialty forgot about it as he teleported to the front door and knocked. “Yutaka, are you there?”

He's here! How did he found out where I live? Of course…he is royalty and I’m…nobody. Should I open?

“Yutaka…is it because of what happen yesterday? Yutaka…I promise, I won’t touch you again if you don’t like it.”

He opened the door a moment after. “Is not that!”

“Then what is it?”

“You said you loved me…and that’s a lie!”

“Why you say so?”

“You don’t love me…you love that boy-your-your Yutaka!”  Kouin’s eyes widened in shock. “You just like me because of him, not because of me! I don’t want to see you! Go away! You…you hurt me! I’m not Kinjo Yutaka!!! I am just an orphan!”

“Kinjo? I never told you his last name, how do you know?”

“I don't know- I just do! Go with her…with Kai…you chose her.”

“Is that why? You're hurt because I chose her? I…”

“GO! You let go of my hand…” His eyes teared and his face reflected intense pain. “Go look at your painting if you want to see him!”

“Yuyu…”

“Don’t call me Yuyu…I’m not him anymore!!” Kouin stared a few seconds confused and most of all hurt for being treated so harshly by his dear one, but he could only guess that he deserved it.

“Forgive me…please, I love you.”

“You don’t love me…you love a memory.”

“Yutaka…” Yutaka quickly closed the door, almost hitting Kouin’s face, and he let go of his tears while touching the closed door before him. “I deserve that. I deserve your rejection…I deserve it.” His tears fell down endlessly knowing he hurt his beloved’s heart once again and that was something he couldn’t resist. Going back to his home, he went to his room and opened the door he avoided for many years, stepping back into his old memories. “Every single memory is painful…and now that I have him, he hates me. I deserve it, for killing him.” Kouin took a framed picture in his hand, cleaning the layer of dust covering it. “Yutaka, I must forget…if only I could.” Throwing himself on top of the bed in the room, and stayed there crying for hours, until his transmitter started ringing constantly, flashing with a red light that was driving him crazy. “DAMN! Can’t I disappear for once! I want to be alone!” He looked at it and knew Hokano was the one calling, so he answered. “Hokano, I want to be a lone. Stop calling me; I am not available for anyone! ANYONE!”
