wishchapter46 by lith 9.21.1999 Not until the prince's 16th birthday the Queen allowed Prince Hyde to visit The Mansion of Dreams where Kiyoharu was assigned.It was a secluded gateway guarding the vast, beautiful yet highly dangerous forest of Ciel, a place where weak minded people would easily get haunted by hallucinations. Kiyoharu remembered he was kneeling down at the door, awaiting for the rare royalty arrival when a youthful melodious voice suddenly filled the tranquil air."Wow!!!!Such an amazingly beautiful place!!These vivid colours are just wonderful.." He looked up at the sound of the pleasant voice, astounded at the sight of a young,ethereal boy, standing in the myraid lights casted upon by one of the stained glass windows. The boy was clad in a smoothly taliered suit, his hair all tied back in a little pony tail."Mr Kiyoharu??"The boy grinned."Please rise.Nice to meet you.I'm Hyde." Kiyoharu was overwhelmed by the unexpected affection the prince gave him.His perfect doll-like face, laughs and clever talks fascinated Kiyoharu, curing the loneliness that dulled him over these years in those heavenly hours."Wait, what's inside that room?"Before Hyde had to leave he discovered a room with a transparent door that they had not yet explored. "It's a room for creating dreams." Kiyoharu stopped,"..only royalties have the power to enter.It's a place for them to weave dreams that they desire to keep." "Come!"Without waiting for him to finish Hyde pulled him along and dashed through the gate, which 'closed' behind them with some glitter."Look!This must be it!!" Hyde cheerfully dragged Kiyoharu towards a radiating crystal suspending in the center of the room. He then scanned through the inscriptions on the ground quickly. "Mr.Kiyoharu,here I'll give you a little gift as a token of our friendship before I leave today.Don't know when I will be allowed to see you again.Here,please." Hyde signaled him to stand closer as he held the crystal ball in his hands."Look into my eyes, and think of what dream you always want to keep before the lights disappear.Now!" Kiyoharu stared right into Hyde's translucent, iridiscent eyes, watching the brilliant colour rays radiated upon his angelic face; it didn't take long for Kiyoharu to make his decision. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hyde's return revived liviliness in Queen Tetsu and the whole country; after performing a magical ceremony together with Tetsu balance of the elements were all back to normal.News of the Moon Kingdom regaining peace also delighted everyone in Ciel.It was a time for celebration,yet only the prince himself seemed to have lost his glow. He performed all his duty and greeted everyone with most refined royal manner, but unusually quiet and cold as if he had put himself in a transparent shell, not willing to open his heart. Queen Tetsu gently combed through her beloved son's hair.From Izam and Yuki's report she understood the cause of Hyde's melochany.But there're too many obstacles to have a human lover.The best and easiest way for him would be to forget..She was glad that Hyde only went to her for comfort. "I'm so sorry mother, for my childish behaviour.....really.."Hyde said, though he had repeated the same words numerous times.Tetsu stroked his silky hair and cooed meaningfully,"My boy, it will be alright.Let's forget all the sadness passed, everything's back to normal now." At the words Hyde slightly trembled.Normal?Things got back to what they should be?Yes..but not for me.He thought heartbrokenly.I cannot leave my counrty..... 'knock knock', "Come in!Oh, Kiyoharu, it's you." Hyde did not even look up to greet the visitor. "Rise, you wish to speak to me?" "Yes, your highness." Kiyoharu tried to repress the emotional turmoil howling inside him."You've succeed all your missions brilliantly.I understand," Tetsu smiled,"Would you like more holidays?I would try to grant you any wish I can." "Thank you,Your majesty,but first I want to talk about..." Kiyoharu's eyes foundered the perfect features of Hyde.How could he looked as if he has never seen him before? Prince Hyde's memory shouldn't be that bad.Gathering all his guts he finalled began,""Em, Prince Hyde..left something at The Mansion of dreams during his visit on his 16th birthday." His heart throbbed wildly, waiting for Hyde's reaction to give his painful longing a confirming answer. "What???" Tetsu was truely amazed and puzzled."That was such a long time ago...My son, what did you forget in Kiyoharu's mansion??" Hyde finally looked up and replied flatly,"Actually," He looked at Kiyoharu with a cold stare."I believe the first time I saw Lord Kiyoharu was when he came to fetch me back.Though, dunno why he seems kinda familiar, I'm sure I haven't met him before, not to mention I left anything at his place.You must be mistaken." Kiyoharu froze.Suddenly an explaination came into his mind..could it be..??is it because I had chosen..to have Prince Hyde living in my dreams at that time??So this is the price!His memory of me started fading as I began to dream about him... Tetsu remained thoughtfully silence for a while, her mind turned and soon knew what happened between her son and Kioharu during that visit.There was only one reason something like this happens.They must have entered that room...and Kiyoharu...but it was so unusually rare and coincident.She sighed. "Mother,"Hyde grew tired of the conversation,"if you would excuse me, I wish to go for a walk in the garden.Would you join me later?"Tetsu nodded, Hyde immediately courted and headed for the door, leaving Kiyoharu with just a formal quick nod. "Kiyoharu,...'Tetsu eyed him with great pity."How sad..." No...what have I done??Now prince Hyde had totally forgotton me!And now his heart is already occupied by that human!!!Regret, pain, disappointment devoured his sanity. "Your majesty, your majesty!!!!!An intruder had forced his way into the royal garden!! " "Prince Hyde!!"Without a second thought Kiyoharu dashed out of the room. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx He's gone...gone...Sakura kept staring at the air, sitting at the same spot.The great sense of loss and despair drained him.He just wanted to breathe the air Hyde just breathed and the traces of refreshing fragrance he left..As the day grew darker, he gradually saw a very small, faintly glowing rainbow floating in the air.Dreamingly He approahed it, which then landed on his forehead and disappeared.It bestow hope in his grim mind and possessed a very strange, unspeakable feeling of Hyde.I should not give up so easily!There must be a way I can still find him, there must!I have a feeling we won't just end like that!Sakura tried to think. A person's name came into his mind:Kozi.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "That's it, Dr. Gackt, I swear I won't enter your clinic ever again!!!!" A furious woman yelled as she gathered her clothes, then left the clinc with an angry slam. "What??Madam," Gackt came out of the medicine room."Wait!But you haven't got your medicine yet, and you haven't pay the fees for your annual body check..huh!!????" Faster than his reaction a whip flashed by, the bottle of potion he was holding exploded. Anxiously turned around he saw a slim figure clad all in black leather, elegantly, arrogantly thrashing a whip with her back facing him. "How many more of these shameless 'patient' do you have!?"Mana spinned around,her blue eyes flikered with blue flames. "Mana!!!!!"Gackt cried out in amazement and happiness,"Oh...the patient, never mind her!Why are you here????"before he finished his questions his neck was already caught by the thin whip. "Do I have to give you reason when I come??" "Grugugruh..."was all Gackt could mutter out. "Listen!" the whip is now on his waist, pulling him towards her. "Now I tell you.I've come to a realization and now very clear of my feelings, that's why I come here to set things right.You should be happy and feel blessed."Mana poured out her words proudly, while she spoke Gackt felt as if being blown by breeze of rich fragrance. "What???" Mana's announcement woke him up from the dreamy state."You...don't mean you wanna cancel our engagement???NO~~NO~~~"Gackt screamed hysterically. Suddenly Mana got more fierce than ever, Gackt was so shocked to find her snow white face tinted by pale pink for the very first time ."You stupid doctor!!Still don't understand!!YEAH RIGHT!!You want me to say things out so clearly??That's why I'm coming," Mana got really angry, slashing everything she could find.'Guys are all stupid, insensitive, unforgivable!!" "From now on, I'll be the nurse here!I am very sure you need one." "What??" Gackt couldn't believe his ears. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx Bang bang~~~~~!!!!!!! "Gackt, I'm Sakura!!" Gackt quickly stuck his head out of the door, "Oh, it's you!!Come in!Kozi's been waiting for you!!" Still in wonder Sakura walked into the room,"..sir, you knew I'll come..?" "Yes,that's why I came here, it saves lots of trouble since I will, and I would like to help you afterall." The magician said calmly."To see your beloved again, you need someone to open the channel for you." "How can I find that person??" "Don't worry, you and the lovely Prince won't just remain forbidden lovers.Fufu..."Kozi chuckled mysteriously, then suddenly threw his red cape towards the door of the sick room.Once it touched the door, a space immediately opened up right on it, the dimension inside radiated in myraid colours. "Here, my friend, the adorable prince is waiting for you ." Sakura sighed a relief,"..Thank you..err,how can I ..repay you..?" "Never mind that.Though I'm a fortune teller, I can only forsee parts of events.I'm just interested in the ending of your love story.Moreover," Kozi rubbed the little crystal in his hand, then threw a meaningful glance at Gackt, "Doctor Gackt promised me a favour for all my help already." "Gackt...how can I thank you..."Sakura looked at him most gratefully. "Don't be mistaken," Gackt said in a casual tone."You should thank Mana instead.She truely wishes both you and Haido the greatest happiness." "Gackt,"Sakura felt deeply touched,"Thank you, thank you so much!And please extend my thanks to Mana..as well...!!" "You know I shouldn't be so nice to you, you the one who hurt Mana so badly.Sigh..she's acting quite abnormal these days, suddenly insisted to be a nurse here, and so super fierce to my patients!" "HUh??Your mean your female patients?Oh I see."Sakura smiled."Congratulations!That's a good sign for you.You should understand it very soon.I must go now."Sakura saluted to Gackt and Kozi, then hurriedly walked into the channel. "By the way,Kozi," Gackt asked with utmost curiousity, "What's the favour you want from me??And that little magic spell you casted upon me..." "You should understand it very soon too, my friend,haha.." Kozi quoted Sakura's phrase with a naughty smile,"Nothing bad, of course.It's a little entainment for me, which is good for you as well." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Since Mana the nurse began her 'job' in Gackt's clinic, his business went into a disastrous decline... "Mana..."Gackt timidly handed over the cup of tea to his fiancee. "What?" "I..I..err, you've been a wonderful nurse here, but...my dear, with a great beauty like you here I can't concerntrate on my work.."Gackt spoke reluctantly in a small voice. "You are saying I should be out of here right??"Mana bang the tea cup on the plate."To let you do nothing but spending day and night with your 'patients'?" "Don't be so jealous, dear.."An ambigious smile crept upon Gackt's lips. "who said I'm jealous???Ha!For what?" Mana got her whip at hand and started whipping atrociously at Gackt.This time her shyness was the starter, but accidentally she gave a slit on Gackt's forehead.Once the blood oozed from the wound, immense courage seemed to mount up from deep within Gackt with the momentum of an avalanche; his long surpressed anger and emotion burst out like the eruption of a volcano. "ENOUGH, ENOUGH!"Gackt roared like a lion, SLAP!! "You...YOU!!!You alspped me??" Gackt slapped me!!!Mana covered her burning cheek in shock.He..he ..slapped me!!!!"Her blue eyes widened in astonishment. "That is it!Mana!I order you to stop your savage behaviour right now!"Gackt yelled as he snatched her whip, adeptly wrapped around her and pulled her towards him. "Listen carefully, I'm your fiancee, and I'm going to be your husband,you understand?" Mana paralyzed in fear,but still managed to nod.When did he get so daring??Is he possessed??But he looks so cool now!!*_*Wow!Mana thought. "My heart belongs to you only.I want you only have your eyes on me!Say you'll be mine!" Gackt demanded with an undescribable authority.His eyes burned with determination. "Yes.."Mana meekly rested her head on Gackt's shoulder like a tamed animal. As the sound of her words fell, a blink flashed across Gackt's mind."What's happening...??Mana..!!??" Am I dreaming??My beloved fiancee is in my arms for the first time!! Still in bewilderment Gackt looked up and seemed to see Kozi's smiling face hanging indistinctly in the air like the Cheshire Cat of Alice in Wonderland, his gentle voice resounded in his head,"Great show, my friend!Gackt, wouldn't you thank me for giving you a Lion heart in that little moment?Hoho.." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hyde strolled mindlessly in The Royal garden, nevertheless now even the beautiful bloomming flowers of his favourite place cannot cheer him up. Before he loved to look up at blue sky, to get the floating feeling in the air.Now,Hyde thought:I'm tied to the ground.He sat down on a marble bench and sighed. "HAIDO!!HAIDO!!" this must be hallucination...it's can't be.How can he come here??It's impossible... Hyde giggled at his thought."HAIDO!!!!" huh?? Hyde blankly looked around, the calling seemed to come from the entrance of the garden,mixed with some guards' anxious cries. "Don't stop me,I have to see Prince Hyde!!" "Sakura??" Everone stopped and looked towards the direction of the prince, who was standing among a bed of roses."Is it..really you??" Hyde was trembling, looking like a helpless little girl with a tear-stained face;in disbelief his lashes flapped and flapped like butterfly wings. "Haido!!" The next second Hyde felt a pair of strong arms enveloped him,its owner burried his head into his hair.Hyde eagerly circled his little arms around him, clutching him with all his strength. "Your highness,,,"The guards were stunned by the scene, neither one of them dare to initiate any attack at the moment. "This isn't a dream??"Hyde touched Sakura's face, he caught his hand and pinched his cheeks softly,"No, i'm really here, with you."Ignoring the guards' Sakura kissed away the teardrops that wet Hyde's cheek."I'm so sorry, I won't deny anymore!" Hyde lowered his head shyly."How did you come here??" "It's..Kozi..." Hyde smiled. "Let go of our Prince." A cold voice broke through their sweet conversation.Sakura's chin was lifted up by a sharp sword. "Kiyoharu?" Hyde gasped at the extremely hostile flashing eye he directed at Sakura."Stop that!He won't harm me!!" "Kiyoharu.Hereby I also order you to take back your sword." Tetsu ordered loudly as she entered the garden.Kiyoharu drew back his weapon, but instantly stepped in between Hyde and Sakura. "Hyde, my boy!" Tetsu studied Sakura from head to toe."This is..." "Mom, this's Sakura..he's my..my.." Hyde blushed. "Lover."Sakura continued Hyde's words boldly, at the same time confronting Kiyoharu's jealous glare.Hyde beamed at his brave declaration. "I see....but son,you cannot leave your country forever!!You can't...my dear.." Tears brimmed in her eyes. "Mother..."Hyde gripped his mother's hand heartbrokenly. "Your majesty,I have a solution."Kiyoharu spoke, everyone looked at him with great anxiety.'But I have a request before I offer my solution." "Speak, Kiyoharu." "I was promised a wish by your majesty. Here I wish to call for a duel with this human.I don't dare to ask for the hand of Prince Hyde, but, if I win, I wish for removing this human's memory of Prince Hyde and Ciel,forever banning his presence in our country, as in the sight of the prince." 'Lord Kiyoharu!!!"Hyde exclaimed in shock and frustration,"What're you talking about!!??Are you out of your mind???" "If I lose," The gaze Kiyoharu laid upon Hyde was overflowed with yearn and passion, which "I'll offer my solution of the situation, and his highness can end my life immediately, concerning I'm such a villan hindering him and this human." 'Mother!!Say you disapprove Lord Kiyoharu's wish!!Forbid their fight!!" Tetsu thought for a while and said,"Kiyoharu your wish is granted.Mr. Sakura, are you willing to accept this challenge?If you refuse, then you'll automatically give up my son."She eyed Sakura most seriously. "Sakura~~" Hyde was at the edge of tears again,"Mr. Kiyoharu, please change your wish!!If you love me that much you should try to understand me!I don't want any of you die~~!!Why??Why do you have to make things come to this state.." "Now you're calling me Mr.Kiyoharu,highness..."Kiyoharu gave him a bitter smile,"I'm terribly sorry I have to disappoint you this time. You can ask me for anything, but this time I'm fighting to prove how deep and true is Sakura's love for you to make you risk for him.More importantly, if I don't do so,I believe I would never raise your attention of me, at least now I might occupy a tiny place in your memory even if I lose." Kiyoharu reached out his hand to Hyde.Dumbfounded by the affection,the great sadness in his tone, Hyde felt as if he owed him some tenderness and was about to yield him his hand in return. "I accept your challenge."Faster than his enemy Sakura took hold of Hyde's hand, and at the same time caught Kiyoharu's outreaching wrist with a tight grip."Sakura!!!!!" Hyde woke up from a mindless state and screamed. Sakura continued in a steady, fearless tone,"I was never a hero.In fact I've just always been a coward beneath my tough appearance, avoiding anything that would possibly bring me wounds.But for you, I would abandon my weak self from now on, I would not allow you ever in another person's hand, even if it'll cost my life!" Sakura fastened his grip until blood dripped from his flesh which was pierced through by Kiyoharu's bracelet. Dazed by the scene, Hyde felt being deprived of the ability to shed even one drop of tear or let out a desperate cry.He never thought his heavenly garden would become the place that held the fatal announciation for the ones who loved him more than their own lives today. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx When Glay had to leap through the energy wall in order to enter the Dark Moon without being discovered, it was decided Hisashi would leap last after they drew lots.Each of them knew that being the last one would have the highest risk to be seized by the horrifying dark energy. "Hisashi, I was suppossed to be the last one!You cheated!!Give me back my slip!!!It was me who drew that one!"Jiro cried in despair. "No, Jiro."Hisashi said somberly and determindly,"It's mine." Though his eyes were already glisterning with tears, Jiro saw very clearly the passion in Hisashi's eyes, which he tried very hard to surpress. "Jiro!!Quick!!!"Teru yelled while he began to leap. Jiro turned back and saw Hisashi smiled tenderly at him."Hisashi~~~" That was my very last smile. Hisashi followed Jiro and bolted through the wall.He had prepared for the worst already, and he was more than lucky to have escaped from being feasted by the darkest, most evil energy; Hisashi's head was fiercely tangled by the black haze it released. Though he kept dashing on and got rid of it, pain pierced through his brain from all directions, he felt there were millions spiders crawling, screwing through his face.He screamed as he fell bottomlessly. Now,everything will be fine again!Hisashi's heart throbbed wildly with joy. He gently caressed the soft golden hair while its owner was still in a peaceful slumber.All our bad dreams are over, the cold mask can be just casted aside! "Hisashi..."The calling drew him back from his thoughts."Teru...and our country.." "Everything will be alright.We're all back, our queen's rescued.Takuro is back, he and Teru are watching over the retreating Dark Moon troops.You can't imagine how energetic Teru is now." Hisashi said softly. A brightest smile spread across Jiro's childlike face, he even laughed."I can't put into words how happy I am now!!Hisashi!!I've missed your smiling face so terribly!!!You got the most gentle, comforting smile I've ever seen, Hisashi~~"He nustled his head on Hisashi's shoulder, but his smile ceased when he saw Hisashi still gazed at him coldly. "Are...are you angry with me??"He asked timidly."Please don't.." "No I'm not." Hisashi shook and shook his head. Seeing the strange contrast in his facial expression and his tone,Jiro's curiousity grew ,"You've took care of me all the time?I know, you must be tired." "No, not at all."Hisashi gently stroked Jiro's hand onto one side.But his indifferent expression and icy eyes made the his lovingly spoken words sounded very errie. "Hi,..Hisashi!!Please, give me just one smile, once??"Jiro trembled, trying to verify the thing he feared. Hisashi still looked at him with a numb expression. "I understand now~~~Don't..don't try to hide from me anymore!!How dumb I was failing to notice it for all these time,ignorant of your pain...!!It must becoz of that time!It should have been me, and you suffered everything for me!!!'Jiro burst into tears,"I would do anything just if you can smile again to me!" "If I smile, then what will you do??You'll do anything I want?" "Wuwuw~~yes yes..of course~~" "Hahahahah~~~~~Got you!!" Jiro couldn't believe his ears, Hisashi..laughed??Ha?? He wiped his tears away and found that Hisashi was greeting him with a big warm smile. "You...you dare to play such a tick on me!"Jiro blushed into a deep red."and made me worried so much.." yet he was so glad that the old naughty Hisashi had come back again..his dear Hisashi. "Just to give you a happy surprise ma!"Hisashi grinned."By the way, you should fulfill your promise now~I can't wait anymore~" A naughty glint sparkled in Hisashi's eyes as he reached out his hand. "Huh??Hey, I'm a sick person now, and all becoz of you!Don't you think you can take advantange of me right now!"Jiro immediately wrapped himself with the blanket, pouting his mouth at Hisashi. "T-T-T..your mind is too dirty!Immediately think about that kinda thing..I just want you to...pout your 'M' shaped little mouth for me like you always did in the past, so I can get some more real good laughs!hahah!but you did it before I can ask you to ne!Hahahah~" "You~~!!!So now I did it, then my promise is fulfilled and I don't owe you anything right?"Jiro smiled triumphantly. "Not yet.."Hisashi laughed again,"Coz I haven't really mentioned my 'wish' yet, hoho..." "Hisashi you're such an unreasonable brat!" Their fight went on and on but laughter hardly ever left the room.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx next.... previous... wish index... back to zealous
