Might
(I knew it was useless... I can't do anything... It's useless...)

Might started setting up his sword with shaky hands.

Might
(Here I go... in front of me... where Adonis is...)

He scolded his legs that didn't want to move, and slowly began to walk. One step, and another step... The distance between him and Adonis became closer little by little.

Closing his eyes, the former Adonis waited for him to come impatiently...

As it was he should have stopped by then. It had been a long time as it was, if he didn't struggle to get there... If he did so, if Might couldn't finish Adonis with his own hands...

Might
U...u...u...!

But, finally the distance between them disappeared. He set up the tip of his sword, touching Adonis' chest.

-And stabbing through.

The hard edge of the sword slipped into the tender meat. A dull feeling transmitted down to Might's arm as he gripped the sword.

Adonis
Uguh!

At Adonis' voice, Might couldn't bear it and looked up.

Might
Ado... nis...

Might couldn't comprehend what he'd just done.

Might
(I... What am I doing...? Why do I have my sword... in Adonis...?)

His head was blank. He looked up at Adonis who seemed to be fading.

Adonis
Th... thank you... Mi, igh... t...

Adonis quietly smiled while he endured the pain. He showed his gratitude, he showed it to the boy he loved.

Might
A... Adonis? ...Ado... nis...

Might couldn't do anything but keep calling his name. He seemed to forget all other words-. That gentle smile, burned into his heart.

Warm blood spilled down the sword, and soaked Might's hands.

Adonis
Don't have such... a sad face. ...Do you want to... make me sad too...

Might
Ah... Adonis...

Adonis
Goodbye... Might.

He left a gentle word, and Adonis seemed to close his eyes to sleep. One teardrop slid down the side of his cheek. And fell on Might's face-.

Might
It can't... it can't... Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Might's bitter cry echoed in the huge room. At the same time, their surrounding began shaking eerily. With a thunderous roar, rubble began falling from the ceiling. Now that the devil was sealed, the castle began collapsing.

The strange object that covered on wall of the place dried up in a moment. And, the wall cracked, and together with Adonis' white nude body, was dragging him down to the other side. One the other side, there was a whirling world of darkness-.

Might
Ah... Adonis... Adonis...!

Ragsiel
You can't...! Hurry and leave here, Might! Otherwise, you'll be dragged into that dimension!

Until then Ragsiel had quietly watched over Might, but he saw the whirling darkness and his expression changed.

Might
No... Adonis... I can't leave Adonis...

Clasping Adonis' hand as he became cold, Might muttered faintly.

Ragsiel
What are you saying! You'll never be able to return to this world!

At that time, one wall cracked greatly. Might and Adonis fell with the rubble of the wall. Into the whirling darkness- in the valley of another dimension.. .

Someone's Voice
Might... Might...

...Who might be that voice. It was one he missed terribly... Yes, it was the voice he wanted to hear most.

Might opened his eyes, he was lying on a green lawn. When he woke up, someone' s lap caught his eye. As it was, Might raised his eyes.

Adonis
Hello, Might...

Might
Ah... Adonis...

It was Adonis. His appearance from before... His quiet smile from before...

Adonis
Might... I'm glad. You woke up.

Might
...Here is?

When he looked at his surroundings, many islands were floating in the air. Often there were buildings on the islands when he looked.

Might
(That... That building, I've seen it somewhere... Ah!)

Suddenly he recognized it. It was the Silver Training School. The place Might and Adonis went through together... And on another island, there seemed to be the Varoja Temple building. And further on another island, there was the castle. All of them were places that Might had deep memories in.

Might
(Why are those places here...)

The islands had all his memories of earth, and he slowly stirred as he saw them well. As though they were trees floating down a current, they were being inhaled by a far-off darkness...

Might
(Where in the world is this...)

He confirmed what places they were in blank surprise... Might didn't believe his eyes again.

Might
It can't be... That's... Our, orphanage...!?

Yes, the orphanage they were raised in... It was the back of that house. It was a place they hadn't visited again in many years, but he couldn't mistake it. Because it was a place he spent most his life in...

After the roof was destroyed it was being mended... When the children broke one of the windows... The scribbling on the walls... The inconsistent plants and trees of the garden... All of Might's memories, it hadn't changed. Adonis and he went through together, nostalgic memories...

Adonis
Yes, it's the orphanage we were raised in.

Adonis also looked at his surroundings, and said with nostalgia.

Might
...I wonder if we died. Where is this place...

Ragsiel
A wrinkle of space between dimensions.

Suddenly, Ragsiel's figure appeared.

Might
Ragsiel-san! ...Where are we...

Ragsiel
This world is made from shadows of your memories... An interval between the present world and the world of the dead.

Might
My memories...? Shadows...?

Ragsiel
No, but it's ok. There isn't much time. The way things are going, you'll be swallowed into the darkness sooner or later. ...If you're about to reach it, your souls will cease to be reincarnated, and if you hesitate you'll likely be in darkness forever, and suffer.

Ragsiel indicated the direction of the darkness. The islands with Might's "memories" on them were being inhaled by darkness.

Ragsiel
Before that happens, I will take your souls to Heaven. ...Come.

He extended his hands to Might and Adonis.

Might
(Heaven... Our souls... Well then, we're already...)

For some reason Might wasn't surprised. As expected Adonis' life had been cut off, and that's how they were talking. And, because of that he could stay with Adonis...

Might
(Yes... If I can be with Adonis... I'll stay anywhere...)

Adonis
Umm... But...

Adonis looked at the outstretched hand of Ragsiel, and hestitated shaking his head.

Adonis
After we entrust our souls to you... After that, what will we do...?

Ragsiel
That... You'll return to the endless cycle of rebirth again... You'll be reincarnated, and live a new life over again in this world...

Adonis
...But... However...

Might watched, and hesitated to speak.

Might
(That's right... To start a new life...)

Adonis
We, probably won't be able to meet again... Isn't that right?

Ragsiel
...Hnn. That's the circumstances of this world... It's unavoidable.

Adonis
...May we have a little time?

Ragsiel
...It can't be helped... It's fine. But, until you are swallowed by the darkness. When it goes passed that... Understand?

When he said that much, Ragsiel's form dissipated into the air.

The two stared at each other for awhile, controlled by an awkward silence.

Adonis
...Might, umm... Somehow, I have a hunch we'll be separated for a very long time.

Might
Yeah, me too...

From his life up to then, he had always been with Adonis. During painful times, during fun times, in sickness, and in health... Adonis was like a part of Might.

Adonis
...But, we met again, and we were able to talk... So I'm happy.

Might
Ye, yeah...

Adonis
Surely until we've come here, we've encountered various things...

Might
Yeah... That's, that's right... Listen, Adonis... I...

Might talked about everything until today. How helpless was he after Adonis disappeared... And sneaking away from the training school, traveling aimlessly, mobilizing with the knights, visiting the temple... And then, and then...

Might
I thought that I could talk to you about some things when we met again... But when I'm actually talking it's not easy to remember.

Might laughed like a child. After he and Adonis had become separated, it was finally like this. He was able to laugh meekly from the bottom of his heart. Adonis also laughed with Might in return. And after the two laughed for awhile... Suddenly, Adonis murmured.

Adonis
Might, about me... In what way do you think of me...?

Might
Eh...? In what way you say...

Might thought about it while he lost his bearings at the sudden question.

Might
Let's see... is it like... siblings? Yeah, Adonis is like a real older brother for me...

Adonis
...I think you're like a little brother, too. But... However... since a few years ago... I...

He swallowed what he started to say, and looked down. They were silent like that for awhile.

Might
...What is it? Adonis. What's wrong...

When Might couldn't bear the silence, he asked.

Adonis placed his hand on Might's cheek, and watched his eyes fixedly.

Might
...Ah...

At that time, when Might started to say something,

Adonis pressed his lips against the mouth that started opening.

Might
...Nn!

Adonis' tongue crawled over Might's lips.

Might
(Wh... What are... Ado... nis...)

Breathing became painful, and he opened his mouth instinctively. Adonis took that chance to thrust his tongue into Might's mouth.

Might
...Mmm... Nah.

Adonis' tongue was unbelievably hot. Hot, and gentle, he caressed Might's row of teeth.

Might
Kuu... kuu...

His mouth was infringed on, and Might leaked a sigh at the smooth feeling. Furthermore, Adonis' tongue entwined with Might's tongue over and over again, lusting. The overflowing saliva ran down Might's cheek, and fell.

Adonis
I'm sorry... Might... I must have surprised you...

Adonis finally released Might's lips, and watched him eagerly.

Might
Adonis...

Adonis
Maybe when... the way I see Might... isn't like a little brother... You aren't a little brother... For a long time, I think... I've wanted to touch you in this way...

His eyes were moist. His feverish words were broken as they spilled out.

Might
A...donis?

At the sudden action, Might's heart pounded like an alarm in his chest. The palpitations were stifling.

Adonis
...Do you hate me now?

With downcast eyes, Adonis asked in a whispering voice. It seemed to fade, anxiously... And with a miserable expression.

Might
That, I couldn't...

He got mixed up, and his words didn't come out. He was puzzled about Adonis' desire above all.

Might
(Adonis thinks about me... in that way...)

But, the kiss before wasn't unpleasant at all. On the contrary, it brought him joy like rising to the heavens. Yes, it was like the dream he saw before- - His dream thinking of Adonis...

His lips were lonely. He wanted to taste Adonis' touch more and more.

Might
How could I hate you... I also... Adonis...

There was still resistance in his declaration. Adonis thought it was very familiar. He'd also made his appeal in this abrupt way. If they could interact well what would they do...

Adonis
...Might...

Might
Wah!

When he hesitated to speak, Adonis suddenly embraced him. He was made to lean up, and he removed himself from Might's body, and rolled up his tunic. And then, he was able to kiss Might's quivering stomach, and gently creep his tongue over it.

Might
Ah, aah...

An electric current ran through his whole body. Might's body stiffened, and gradually Adonis' tongue crawled up from his abdomen to his chest. And then he licked the protuberance of Might's chest.

Might
Haah... A, Adonis... Wa, wait.

More pleasure surged in suddenly, and it infringed on Might. His breathing was disoriented and his body twisted with the upcoming waves.

Adonis
Might... Does it feel good? Might...

At Might's reaction, Adonis tortured his nipples even more. He lightly stimulated Might with his teeth.

Might
Haa....

He kept stimulating the protuberance of his chest for a little while... Before Might knew it his chest had heated up.

Adonis
...Ah, Might... You too...

When his glance fell on the bulge in Might's pants, he unfastened Might's belt and let him out.

Might
A... Adonis... You can't, that...

He watched his important person, and Might whole body writhed with boiling over desire.

Adonis
Might... My Might...

His eyes rose from the heat, and his fingers gently playing with Might drove him mad. Again an electric current went through Might.

Might
Ah, hah...

Adonis hand gently stroked where he'd become hot and hard.

Might
Adonis... I also...

Adonis
Might...

The two took off each other's clothes. They both wanted to bare their skin quickly... They were aroused by such feelings. The hands unfastening the strings were impatient.

Adonis
Aah, Might... I'm so happy.. Might...

When Adonis took off his clothes, he leaned over Might. He grasped Might's hot figure again.

Might
Adonis... We will always be together.

Might couldn't bear it, and he reached out to touch Adonis' heat.

Adonis
...Uuh...

The trembling and twitching overlapped with himself. They touched the most sensitive parts of each other. Waves of pleasure gathered in Might's entire body up to now.

Might
Uh, uuh!

Adonis
Mi... ight... Kuuh. Might... Might...

Closing his eyes, Adonis had an expression of anguish. Before they knew it, they were slowly moving their hips.

They touched each other, and felt the sensations of the gentle rubbing. The two melted into each other entirely with sweet pleasure, and united into one.

Might
Adonis... I, I... already...

Adonis
Aah, Might... Me too... Might... Might...! Migh...t...!

They both rose slowly, and lied on top of each other-.

After exchanging their love, the two rolled around on the turf as much as they liked. Between them, words were unnecessary. They looked in each other's eyes, and felt their breath... The two pressed their skin together, and warmed each other. Ragsiel would come, and lead their souls into reincarnation.

But, they understood. Already there wasn't anyone who could separate them...

Everyone who succeeded in escaping was able to see the decay of the devil's castle in the light of the morning sun.

Pam
...Might.

Pam stood still in the rubble. From his cloudy eyes, endless tears poured out.

Leica
Damnit, that idiot... Why did he go... with the devil. ...Asshole!

Unable to endure the feelings welling up in his heart, Leica kicked the rubble of the castle as he muttered.

Kurt
What an unfortunate fate to have... for those two.

With sad eyes unlike before, Kurt quietly raised his eyes to the heavens.

Lorence
...Ah, what an ironic fate.

Supporting the wounded Kurt, Lorence muttered quietly.

Ragsiel
...Again, I wasn't able to save him... ...It's regrettable.

Ragsiel appeared from empty space in a mist. His usual pompousness wasn't in his tone.

Pam
Kami-sama... Might isn't coming back? Again, to us...

Ragsiel nodded silently at Pam's quivering voice.

Ragsiel
Ah... They've departed... All I can do is reincarnate their souls... At least in the same age... To the same world...

Lorence
Those two, next time for sure, will always be good together...

Lorence looked in the direction of the rising sun.

Everyone gazed at the same sky, driven by thoughts of of their two faces. In his short life, the boy who eagerly ran to risk his life for his friend, those thoughts of the young man they received from themselves... Might and Adonis. The memories of those two would probably never disappear-.

The morning came as if nothing had happened. It was always the same sun rising in the morning, the dazzling morning sun that shone on the earth-.

In a noisy town. The sound of cars, and the footsteps of people coming and going. From a shop facing the street the latest popular love song--. Among that, there was one young man. He leaned against the show window, with a cellular phone to his ear. He had a tall figure, but somehow with wiry thin looks and gentle features, who could be mistaken for a woman... He was that sort of young man.

Voice on the Phone
Hello, and now. I'm coming to meet you...

The young man's mind seemed to somewhere else, sometimes returning to the conversation with the voice of the girl he was listening to on the telephone. His eyes weren't focused, but stared fruitlessly at the air.

An emerald green stone hung from the strap of the cellular phone in the young man's hand. It wasn't ready-made goods but seemed hand-made, with careful craftsmanship attaching the stone to the strap with a string, and it sparkled in the strong sunlight.

Suddenly in front of the young man, one boy happened to pass by.

Young Man
...Ah, wait...

Why he called out, he didn't know himself. When he noticed his mouth had already opened.

Boy
Eh...?

The boy turned his head, and seemed to be wearing a school uniform with a stand-up collar. His hair was simply cut the same length, and he seemed like an active boy. In his hand was the handle of a schoolbag, with the same stone as the young man swaying as a decoration. -That same emerald green, with it's mysterious glow.

Even the handmade string seemed to be the same.

For a little while, the two didn't do anything and watched each other. Even though it was the first time they'd met... Why did they feel as if they yearned for each other... The two felt it at the same time. It felt as if they missed each other very much, it was a strange feeling.

Young Man
...You, have we... met before?

Timidly, he called out to the unfamiliar boy. A strong urge that he couldn't stand burst into his mind. The boy tilted his neck.

Boy
No... But, I feel like that too. ...I wonder why. Is it deja vu...?

Young Man
...Is it ok if I ask your name? Umm, if you like... However.

He never tried to ask with his mind. At the sudden question, the boy appeared to be confused. But, he answered after only a little time.

Boy
*Might...
*In Japanese, instead of the regular Katakana his name is spelled in Kanji.

Without any words, the two stood still and stared at each other. They gave completely into the mysterious impulses, as they both watched each other.

Fate-.

That word came to both their minds. Such a chance meeting seemed like a normal occurrence. But seemed as if they didn't meet by chance.

Without noticing their noisy surroundings, everything else disappeared around the two. They left from the flow of time and stared at each other forever-.

The End
