Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt.V
Title: Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt. V
Category: Clamp and expect some crossovers
Rating: Ranges from T to NC-17 (Due to some graphic scenes, language, blood, a bit of violence, and some hotness in some of these shorts and shots) Part V is very much T
Genre: Mostly Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Angst a bit of horror, friendship, tragedy, and supernatural.
Note: I'm slightly pissed of due to the fact I cannot post the whole thing on a single entry, so I'll try and post this in halves or quarters.
Note: After reading some SubaruxSakura fics, which I admit is now one of my favorite crossovers pairing, I ended up having a weird craving for a SubaruxSakuraxKamui fic. So, um from that point on, I think the crack bug struck me again and made me imagine more, and more of them. I wanted sleep badly, so I'm going to do something about it. I swear whenever I think of crossover pairings, it leads to some that isn't there on FF. net. Which makes me wonder *rushes to the window and yells: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE? 'cough'* I'm not sure if I put most of the characters in their characters, so um yeah. ^_^'' That said, let's begin with the collection.
Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote several of crossover pairings and some of them are pairings just from the anime or yaoi. Half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway.
Let's see:

Fai looked at the sleeping princess he carries in his arms, his face softens and he removes some of the hair strands that fall on her face. It won't be long before the Dog Duo came back. Mokona had went to grab a pillow and blanket for the sleeping girl. As Fai observe, this girl has an aura of being adventurous, kind, and calm, but she lost half of her heart. He reach for her unresponsive hand and kissed the back of it, even though he have two curses hovering over him like a plague, he is going to protect Sakura, and prevent her fate along with the rest of the travelers.

Touya looked into kitchen, wondering what Sakura is doing up late in the evening.
"Oi." He smiled; amused to see her jump three feet in the air, Sakura grew into a beautiful young woman. Even though she is sixteen, he still treated her like a little sister. However, for Sakura being this beautiful, came with a price and she had somehow gotten fan boys over the summer, much to Touya's displeasure. He wasn't ready to see her go with another man, and if that boy appeals to him, he'll have to accept. Touya, wanted to test the person who is suitable for Sakura, but knew he can't interfere. It didn't help with the breakup she has with Syaoran, but it did give him an excuse to be more threatening to him if he ever came close to Sakura again.
"Nii-san!" Ah yes, back to the present. Touya smirk, and looked over to what she is doing. Ah, chocolates for Valentine's Day, the dreaded day he hated the most.
"Why are you making chocolates so late in the evening?"
"I was sort of busy during the day, buying ingredients and the pans." Touya nodded, that makes sense since she already finished most of her homework in the afternoon.
"How many are you making?" She huffed at him, not ready to tell him. Touya noticed, and shook his head.
"Do you need help?" Sakura look at him, she knows that her brother is a bit overprotective of her, but then again he wouldn't know who those chocolates are for, right?
"Sure." After helping her bake the chocolates and wrapped them up, Touya can tell that there are twelve chocolates being made. One for Tomoyo, one for him, one for Yukito, one for their father, one for Kero, one for Yue, one for their great-great-grandfather, one for Tomoyo's mother, one for that quiet lavender hair girl, one for that brown hair tomboy, but who has the extra one. It’s a 'Sakura' shape chocolate, the rest are made up stars, which means Sakura found someone she like. Touya twitched, if that was true, then who was he and when did it happen? Touya twitched again, the boy that Sakura likes could be the same age as her. Sakura noticed her brother is twitching and shook her head in amusement. Nii-san, he must have found out that I have a sakura-shape chocolate for someone, and that I won't tell him.
After shooing him out of the kitchen, Sakura wrote something on the chocolate for her special person, it won't have a name of that person, but she knew that person will figure it out since he is a genius and all.
________________________________________
Morning came, and Touya groaned out of frustration of not being able to figure out who the person Sakura likes. He still hadn't figured it out even at work, Yukito looked at him, and chuckle.
"I'm guessing, you still hadn't found out who is going to receive that chocolate from Sakura-chan." Touya gave him a look, and Yukito laugh because it is really hilarious and adorable.
"Touya, Sakura-chan is a big girl. I'm sure she can handle a few boys." Touya sighed, although he has a sister and she likes someone, it doesn't mean he had to like it.
"I know, I just..." Yukito look at him, and understood that Touya never like the fact that Sakura might like someone.
"How about this, if Sakura-chan ends up going out dates with the person she likes, we will ask him to come over for dinner and meet him up." Yukito said, Touya look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"That must be Yue talking, wasn't he?" Yukito shrugged, his other self felt less comfortable about not knowing who the person his mistress likes. Meanwhile, somewhere nearby, twenty-one year old Neji is talking with twenty-two year-old Itachi, helping with the few of the items on the shelves.
"Should I be worried?" Itachi ask his fellow classmate, Neji looked at him focusing on the task on hand.
"Not mentally if you are wondering, but if I find out that your brother got that chocolate from Hinata-sama, he is going have to tread carefully with me for a month." Neji's eyes burned alight with fire in his and there was fire in the background, Itachi sweat drip because of his classmate's sister complex, but it didn't ease his worry about his brother. Neji calmed down when he heard Touya's and Yukito's conversation, Itachi listened to. As it turns out, Touya's younger sister gave a chocolate to someone. Neji whistled.
"I feel sorry for whoever receives the chocolate from Kinomoto-san's sister." Neji said, he heard about the break up between Touya's sister and her boyfriend, but that was last year. Even so, Touya continued to threaten the poor boy.
"Why?" Itachi ask.
"Kinomoto-san cares for his sister, and with that incident last year, he is a bit more overprotective of her when it comes to who she dates. Thankfully, Tsukishiro is around to calms him down long enough for the boy to get away." Itachi blinked, and recalled the break up between Sakura and Syaoran, even though Syaoran didn't mean any harm on her, he had hurt her. That's when the teddy bear in his hands ripped.
"Easy man, do you want us to lose one of our inventories?" Itachi blinked, before looking down at the teddy bear that's been ripped in his hands. He stares at it, and remember her green eyes filled with tears, it was enough for Itachi to want Syaoran to feel the pain he inflicted on Sakura. He sighed, what's done is done, and there was nothing he could do to heal that broken piece of her heart. He was able to be friends with Sakura, but Itachi loved her, even during her relationship with Syaoran, and he is afraid of her response to his confession. Would she cry? Would she laugh? Or would she look at him apologetic, and reject him?
"Itachi-san, are you alright?" Itachi looks at Neji, before nodding and deciding to put away the teddy bear and getting a new one.
"I'll be fine, thanks for worrying. I'm going to get a new one." Itachi went back into the storeroom, unaware that calculating white eyes stare at him. Neji knew something was up, whenever he mention about Sakura's break up along with Syaoran's name, Itachi would break something unconsciously. However, Neji refused to be curious and let his college friend handle it. It was not something that he should be bothered with.
________________________________________
It was in the late afternoon, and Itachi, being the last one, closed down the shop and sighed. There was no way he could tell Sakura he loves her, even after that break up with Syaoran. That break up however, was one year ago, but it didn't help either when he remember her tears when she cried into his chest, saying it wasn't fair. Shaking out of the thoughts, Itachi was about to close the door when he heard her voice.
"Itachi-san?" He paused, relaxes his body and is glad that the voice wasn't one of his fan girls when he turned to look at her. There she was, green eyes sparkling at seeing him, a small smile, she was still in her middle school uniform, and perhaps the cheer leading is today. Itachi noticed that she has a white shopping bag, next to her book bag, he brush the doubt away from his mind.
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan, how's school and practice today?" Itachi asked, Sakura grinned at him.
"School is fine, classes are normal and the cheer leading practice is well. One thing, could you tell your brother that his fan girls are annoying?" Itachi smirked, it wasn't something that can't be undone, and Itachi himself, is afraid of fan girls since he had some following him since he was an elementary school kid. He wasn't sure how Touya and Yukito were able to ignore them.
"I'll try, but I doubt it due to the fact that my brother complains it me about them." Sakura giggled, he loves her laugh, its sounds like a soft bell to him.
"So tell me, did Hinata-san gave him chocolate?" If Sasuke were to end up with those chocolates, he has to make sure to warn him to avoid Neji.
"I'm guessing her brother told you she was making chocolates." Itachi shrugged, a mock grin on his lips.
"Neji-san is worried and a bit over protective, but I don't blame him though."
"She did, she was blushing so hard that she nearly faint. Your brother, to tell you the truth, is shocked and I think he was blushing a bit with a dazed look in his eyes." That made Itachi chuckle, he'll definitely tease Sasuke about this.
"So how's work?" Itachi gave her look that made her laugh.
"I'm guessing boring, huh?"
"What gave it away?" Itachi said with mock sarcasm, though his grin gave it away.
"Say, Itachi-san, I was wondering if you can have this." The white bag was given to him, he looked in and his onyx eyes soften. He turned his attention to Sakura, blushing but also a bit nervous.
"I would love too, Sakura-chan." That's when she heard it, her smile is so beautiful, and he felt a blush on his cheeks.
"Thank you." Sakura said, with a kiss on his cheek, she left. Itachi stood there, tried to reel his mind and wrap it around him that the fact Sakura kiss him, on his cheek no less. He smiles. At least, that's a start.
________________________________________
Tomorrow came to quick, and Touya moped at the counter. Neji looked at Yukito, understanding the answer immediately.
"He still hasn't been able to find out who his sister likes." Neji smirked when he saw Yukito smile, he sympathize Touya, really he does.
"Yeah, he wasn't able to get the answer out of the answer from her last night, and she is very happy that she is able to give the chocolate to the person she likes." Neji shook his head, he really feel sorry for Touya. He went back to work where he is station to and saw Itachi nibbling on a piece of chocolate.
"You look happy, Itachi-san." Itachi smirk at Neji, Neji could tell that chocolate was from someone that is special to Itachi.
"So who gave it you?" Neji ask, curious on who the person that affected Itachi in more ways than one. Itachi looked at him, shrugging, he isn't going to be telling Neji anytime soon.
"Someone who is special to me." Itachi smile softly, he actually doesn't care if Neji saw him smile. In his mind, is Sakura, smiling at him. ((A/N:Here is what the note says on the chocolate. 'In the midst in being confused in my heart, you showed me that there are other people who care. That I agree, but there is one thing you are wrong about. Being with someone you love the most after getting their hearts broken, and with them needing you the most, shows enough emotion that you love them, that they are precious to you. Love, Sakura))

Neah sighed, he wasn't sure what to play now. His heart is a bit confuse, He usually plays the piano with his emotions. What song should he play? He doesn't know. He sighs, and begins to plays music when he heard someone singing, it was a sad tune, but he could feel his hands going for the piano and playing the keys.
ame ni nureta hoho wa
namida no nioi ga shita
yasashii manazashi no
tabibito
Neah concentrated on the owner's voice; he wants to know who is singing that sad song. He closes his eyes, and could pick pieces of the owner's voice. It sounded so sad, lonely; he could feel that this person lost bits of memory in her travels and bits of pieces of it created a puzzle in his mind.
shizuka ni hibiiteru
natsukashii ongaku
omoidasenai kioku
samayou
Neah's used his piano as a portrait, and picture the person's face in his mind, a young woman sitting alone. That was obvious, and he concentrates harder to imagine her face and her aura. Being a pianist that can control this piano has its benefits.
yume wa tobitatsu no chiisana tsubasa de
omoi no kienai basho made
futari de
tooi umi wo sora wo koete
There were green eyes that are filled with sorrow, her cinnamon brown hair swayed in the wind. Although she was hurt and alone, most likely a traveler, she is still searching for her memories. He could feel the aura that surrounds her, light, adventurous, courageous, he paused in the middle of playing that song. He saw what he wasn't supposed to see, her lover betrayed her, killed the rest of her travelers, and killed himself. Feeling a bit guilty, he went out and followed the voice. Determined to help her find her memories. It was hard to find that voice, seeing as it is traveling from a very far distance, and that's when he found her.
kurai yoru no naka de
watashi wo terashiteru
yasashii manazashi no
anata ni
aitai...
Brown hair, green eyes, wearing a black and white Victorian dress, she looks like a princess, her aura is definitely adventurous, courageous, kind, and gentle, filled with light. She is an angel, one of those that he fears to taint because of who he is. But, he wanted to help so he steps forward.
"I heard you, and I wanted to help." The girl looks at him, with curiosity and a bit wary. She hadn't seen him before, but for him to hear her, it makes her feel happy that she was heard.
"My name is Sakura, what is yours?" Neah bit his lip, he wasn't supposed to tell his real name, he hadn't told Adam or the rest of the clan because he wanted to protect his brother, Mana.
"My name is Walker Neah."

____________________________
Anona ran, hurrying into the library she had designed herself. Each bookcase has a lever at the end of it, nobody knows what they are for and nobody dared to touch it afraid of the consequences, but Anona knows since she is the one who created this library. She doesn't care if they are going to be angry at her, after all the people she knew when she was born, are dead, and the people she knew now will be quite upset. That ache alone and the fact that she is immortal due to awakening the Noah within her, making her still seventeen, would have driven her crazy. If it wasn't for the fact that she met Subaru and Kamui, then she would have put herself into a coma before going insane and destroy the world with her bare hands. Learning of their fates and the future that is to come, it’s enough for to her to be determined in stopping that fate and the future from ever happening.
Are you really sure about this? The soft whisper from the back of her mind, and there he was, transparent like a ghost, her uncle. Neah, looked at her with a shadow of worry behind the grinning facade. Anona looked at her uncle with determination, regret, and not one ounce of fear.
You’re not going to stop me? She asked him, Neah looked at her, his darling niece. She had grown so much, even after the Holy War and the horrors of the wars that came after it. She retained her sanity by talking to her uncle, having fun with Timcampi, helping and meeting people while she travels.
If I'm still alive along with my body, I would have knock you out unconscious and I probably would cast that spell on myself. That doesn't change the fact that you are going to be missed, especially by those two. Anona nearly froze, she chewed her lip, and this war has gone far enough. Even though it was prophesied, even though it continues all the way from god knows how long. Enough is enough. Nobody deserved it, especially those two.
I know. That's why I'm going to change the future, and that's why I left that voice device to Subaru and Timcampi to Kamui in their apartments. Neah's eyes widens at this.
You’re planning to leave the Ark and the Musician's Play to them. Anona stared at her uncle.
Only if they choose to be a Noah. I don't want the both of them to die, not like this, nor would I want them to choose to be a Noah because of whom I am. Neah smiles softly at her before pulling her close and hugged her tightly. Anona can feel the ghostly touch on her head.
They remind you of Alma, Kanda, you, and him don't they? Neah didn't hear the answer, but he didn't need to hear it because whenever she took control of her body, Neah can see what is going on through her eyes. He let her go.
Then let's do this together. Anona smiled, and both of them knew it is worth it. Neah disappeared from reality when Anona found the book she is looking for. As she is about to reach the black color spine covered with gold lament, when she heard their voices.
"Anona-san!" Anona froze, her hand over the spine of the book trembled. No, not now. Not when you are this close. Her mind whispered, Anona looked to her right and saw two of her most precious people at the end of the aisle, Kamui and Subaru. She smiled at them sadly and reached for the lever at the end of the bookcase that is close to her. Torn between with two choices, one is living with them alive and going through that tragic future, the other dying for the two of them to heal the Earth, long enough to sustain it past the Promised Day. She knew in her heart, that she rather choose the former than the later, but she doesn't wish or want them to go through the pain, both mentally and physically, like how she did when she is the only lone survivor of the Holy War.
The Millennium Earl and some of the Noahs are dead, which gave her relief, but the people she cared about. Cross, Kanda, Lenalee, Timothy, Komui, Reveer, Link, Klaud, Tiedroll, Fo, Bak Chan, Mana, Alma, Miranda, Ayster, Noise, Timothy, Bookman, Zorako, Hevalaska, most of the Science Department, and...Lavi are gone.
"Anona-tan!" His voice echoed happily through her, Anona can still hear it, and it made her heart ache remembering him. So she gripped the lever, and took the book the down. She can feel the tears building up in her eyes, but she can hear Neah soothed her sadness with the lullaby in her heart. Determined, she looked at them with a sad face, but she is smiling as if saying goodbye to them.
"I really wished I didn't have to do this, to the two people I care about the most. Kamui, Subaru, help each other grow, soothe each other’s pain, and live, keep on existing. If I was given a different choice, I want to live with you guys and the people I met and living in a bright future, but I don't want for you to suffer like I have through the Holy War. I'm so happy to meet all of you, to be able to feel love once again, to be able to make friends once again, and to be happy once more. I really don't want to say goodbye to either of you, but if..." Her sad face, mix with four other emotions, regret, determination, love, and hope. "If I want this to work, I want to prevent the future on both sides of the war, but enough to prevent the war from happening and enough for the Earth to heal and enough to sustain it..." Anona pulled down the lever, bright light surrounded them, making Kamui and Subaru close their eyes because of the brightness. Once that light is gone, a golden transparent wall stood between the two Seals and Anona. Anona pushed away her fear and sadness to the darkest corners of her soul. "It needs the life of an immortal."
The two seals eyes widen, realizing that Anona is an immortal. A living being that is still alive, hadn't aged one bit, and lived for a very long time. But, even so, they love her. Kamui was the first to run, then Subaru followed, they crashed against the golden barrier. They fought against it, but the wall stood strong.
"I'm really sorry for doing this to both of you, I really am." Anona said as she let the tears flow out, but her body isn't shaking. She opened the book, a gust of wind turn the pages, and ghostly arms hugged her shoulder, pulling her close. Subaru and Kamui froze at seeing a ghost appeared behind Anona, transparent as he is, they can still see his clothes and features. Black hair, gray skin, golden eyes, a beige trench coat, most of his clothes are out of date and look like he is from the 19th Century.
"I thought you were still in the back of my mind, Uncle Neah." Neah smirk at her, he pet her white hair. Anona felt the ghostly touch and lean to it, ignoring the shock and stares of the Two Seals in front of them. She did told them that her adopted father did have a younger brother, and that he is gone, she didn't said he was living within her the whole time.
"And leave you alone to do this, you wound me, my darling niece." Anona laugh, both from bitterness and relief that she isn't going to do this alone, judging from his mock sadness.
"I don't plan to." Neah grinned, before kissing her head and looked at the two seals who frantically tried to break the wall. In another world, and perhaps in another life, it would be nice to get to know the two seals who might be his potential son-in-laws.
"Thank you, the both of you. For letting her feel again." The wind stop, the page with that spell is there.
"Anona-san, don't do this." Anona looked at Kamui and Subaru, it was Kamui's voice she heard. She smiles at them bitterly, it’s cruel to leave them like this, but it’s her turn to be selfish.
"I'm sorry, you guys, but this is a goodbye." Both Seals shook their heads, no they can't let this happen.
"Please, Anona-san, what about the others who are affected by you? What about Kazuki and Kakyou?" Subaru asked, still fighting the golden barrier, Anona's hands clutched the book, enough to wrinkle its pages, Kazuki and Kakyou became attached to her, but she steeled her heart with determination. I really am one unlucky kid, aren't I? Anona thought bitterly, but Neah's soft humming in her mind made her calm down. but there is no turning back and I am going to put an end to the prophecy. Those two, they've suffered long enough, its best for them to feel peace, and gain happiness later.
"Tell them, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you guys or with them. That I love them, and I love you guys. Tell them I said goodbye, and that everything is going to be alright." Anona and Neah chanted the spell, black tendrils sweep through the golden barrier, and wrapped around their wrists, ankles, and necks, before it slowly spreads to cover all of the body. The chanting has been done, the book drop with a thud, pages open but the spell faded into the page. Subaru and Kamui looked at Anona with panic, and she softly smile at them, tears trailed down her cheeks.
"Perhaps in another life, in another world, I hope we'll see each other again. Take care and live, exist until you are old and wrinkled, I've asked Timcampi to watch over both of you. Sayonara." They've caught a glimpse of her fleeting smile, and both of them are crying out as the black tendrils covered her face.
"ANONA-SAN!" The library shook, the two bodies of black balls, shine with a brilliant white light. Both Kamui and Subaru turned away from the light, the library stopped shaking, the light faded and the wall dissolved much like how the Dragon of Heaven's kekkai dissolved because its user is fatally injured. Kamui and Subaru adjusted their eyes and saw Anona, lying on floor, eyes closed and not breathing. Pale, Subaru walked and bent down to cradle her body to him.
"No, not again. Anona-san." Subaru heard Kamui's voice, and put down Anona's body, walked back to Kamui and held them. Allowing Kamui to cry on him, and he whispered the words to her corpse.
"Sayonara, Anona-san. Rest in peace." A tear fell, and for some reason, Subaru can feel ghostly arms around both Subaru and Kamui before letting go and that warm presence went.
________________________________________
Outside of the Library, however, the light still shine and reached to the dream gazers who watched in awe and amazement. It had also reached the Dragons of Heaven and Earth, freeing them from their chained fates.
"Where's Kamui?" Fuma asked as he stared down the city, and wonder how he got there.
"If you're looking for Kamui, he needs time alone with Subaru for me for leaving them." A soft melodic voice sang behind him, a far off memory of being controlled and manipulated is blurred and frizzled. Fuma look behind him to see a girl with a white dress, long white hair and soft silver eyes, white angelic wings protruding from her back. Then the scene around them changed, the Dragons of Heaven and Earth saw each other, minus Subaru and Kamui, their dream seers, Kanoe and Hinoto.
"Anona-san? What's with those wings?" Kakyou said, he saw those wings before, a distant dream, a distant memory, but it also brought pain to him. Those familiar white wings, soft and angelic, Anona smile sadly at the people that knew her. Kazuki shook his head at this, no he refused to believe she is dead. Yuzuriha gasp, she covered her mouth with one of her hands and cried, crying into Kusangi's chest.
"You're the girl, who Kamui and Subaru met." Hinoto spoke, Anona looked at the Dragons of Heaven's priestess and smile before nodding.
"Yes, I am." Arashi cried, she really loved the girl like a sister. She can't die.
"Arashi-neechan, don't cry." A pale hand lifted her cheek to see Anona smile at her with sad eyes.
"How is it possible that we can't see you or sense you, both in the future, dreams, and present?" Kanoe asked, the hand dropped from Arashi's face and Anona smiled at the woman.
"I believe that was my doing." Gray skin, black hair, golden eyes, and in a beige coat with out of date clothes, the young man appear before them with a smile, right next to Anona. He has white angelic wings as well.
"Although, I don't think I deserve these wings because of who I am." Anona reached for his hand, Neah smiled at her and give a kiss to the back of her hand. To Neah, Anona will always be his little girl, his little princess, even though she is adopted by his older brother, Mana.
"You're-" Neah tensed when he heard Hinoto gasped, and relaxed. He isn't living in the 19th Century anymore, but if someone had recognized him in that time, it will made him protective over his niece.
"I'm her adoptive Uncle, Neah Walker, and the Fourteenth Noah. Anona Walker is my host and my niece. Both of us, lived a very long time, alone, it was hard for my niece after a first few years of finding out being an immortal, there were times both of us tried to kill ourselves, but none of them will work. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't die that easily, the only way we can is using Innocence, but all of them are gone. The others were spells, but that wasn't until we found them later. And then, Anona heard something." Their attention was turned to the white haired girl who smiled sadly at Neah.
"I hear whispers from ghosts, something about the future and the Earth's fate due to war between two powerful forces. Neah cast a spell, using the Dark Matter he has, he hid me from being seen in both present, future, and dreams so I would be able to buy us time and prevent the war. I don't want anyone, especially Subaru and Kamui, to suffer anymore than I have from the Holy War. I seen things I wasn't suppose to see, I seen how my side of the war have a dark side and I've seen how the other side have light, even though they work for a crazed maniac named Millennium Earl, Adam. After seeing these, I was forced to walk on a gray path, because I want to be a savior for both humans and akumas." Anona gulped, she hated remembering those memories, the memories before meeting Kamui and Subaru.
"But my wish for that dream, is far too great. My friends died on both sides, two died alone, my uncle's brother and older sister died together, my late lover died after being infected by parasites from the other side. And where was I? Chained in the bottom of their dungeon, weak and hopeless, I can't do anything to prevent their deaths. In rage, I destroyed most of the Noah Clan, my Uncle killed those that hurt me in the Vatican. After calming down, I cried, I never felt so alone, even with my uncle, I wanted to die, I wanted to be with everyone, but I knew that if I were to prevent the future that will come, I won't have any more regrets. My shishou did say, I'm really am one unlucky kid. I guess what he said is true." Anona let Neah pull her close, those memories; he put a lock on them to ease the pain and suffering.
"The Vatican?" Anona slap her hand on her mouth, she wasn't supposed to say that, but Neah soothed her by threading and running his fingers through her white hair. Neah glared at Seishiro, who smiled at him, unaffected by that glare.
"The Vatican changed after the Holy War, but back then, one of them decided that if I was too dangerous, Anona was to be killed on sight." The girls gasped, some of the guys are shocked at this, while the other guys clenched their fists, they couldn't believe how much Anona and Neah went through at that time.
"That is before you met Kamui and Subaru, they remind you of you and some other people." Yuzuriha said, Anona met her gazed and nodded with a small smile.
"So why Kamui and Subaru aren't here?" Sorta asked, Anona looked at the monk with a smile.
"I can't answer that, they will have to find out themselves. Choose their own path, not the one that has been given to them. But if you want to know, if they were here, they wouldn't let me go. If I were to pass on, I need to be let go. So would one of you tell them, that all they need to do is let go and treasure the memories we have of each other once they gotten over their grief." Hearing this, Sorta shouted 'I will', but ended up fighting with Yuzuriha because she wants to do it as well, making Anona laugh. She turns her attention to Fuma, Kazuki, and Kakyou.
"If one of them forgets, can you...?" Fuma, Kazuki, and Kakyou nodded. Anona turned to Seishiro with hesitation, she took in a deep breath and flew over until she is a few meters away from. Neah hesitated at this, but he will keep a sharp watch on the Sakurazukamori.
"I know that you've caused a lot of pain and suffering to Subaru, but Seishiro-san, is you lose sight of the things you love the most, you won't be able to regain it easily. For once, forget your duty as an assassin, forget about being a Sakurazukamori, and that ancient Sakura Tree, and come back and apologize to Subaru. If this keeps up, Subaru will become you after you die, me and the people who knew Subaru, wouldn't want that on him." Seishiro looked at the angel, the one who is able to let Subaru feel normal once again, allowing him to smile and laugh. He smiled grimly at the angel.
"I can't, a Sakurazukamori can't feel emotions no matter how hard I tried." Anona smile at the assassin, Neah once told her that the Noahs are people that are born without hearts, only feeling echoes from the Original Noah's emotions.
"That may be true, but even if a person without emotions; they can feel echoes of those emotions. Someone once told me that Noahs are people that are born without hearts, only feeling echoes from the Original Noah's emotions, that what makes them feel emotions, even if that being is created or not real, that living being can still feel echoes of emotions because of their soul. Plus, everyone deserves a second chance, don't you think?" Seishiro blinked at her, before kneeling down to her height and hug her, now he knows why Subaru loves this girl. Even though this girl suffered, broken, and the light in her eyes fled, she knew that people can still changed the future, even if it is still too late, you can make amends and hope for a brighter future, even if it’s bleak.
"Thank you, but that still doesn't solve the tree problem." Anona smiled at him, letting him go.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Subaru and Kamui will know the way. It isn't too late to change it, you still have a chance to repair and make amends with him. Don't lose that chance, Seishiro-san, otherwise Neah and I will come back and haunt you." Seishiro smirked at the young angel; he had no doubt that those two will do that.
"What about the Earth's future?" Anona look behind to see everyone puzzled about it, she smile and flew back to Neah.
"That is for you to decide, even though I've repair most of the damage for the Earth. There are still parts of it that the Earth continues to cry in pain. The Promised Day would come in the future if nothing has been changed, but if you change it, help other people and get them to help you, then that Promised Day somewhere in the future will fade." The Dragons of Heaven and Earth look at each other, before deciding.
"I think we all have enough of the endless war, the bitter emotions that comes with after the storm, and how some places are very corrupted. If we want to change the world, and make Earth a safer and better place, then we have a lot of work to do." Kusangi said with a smile, Yuzuriha grinned at this, Anona looked at everyone seeing they all agreed.
"If you choose that path, you will also have to know that some places refuse to change, which also bring pain to you. Are you still willing to choose that path?" Neah asked, but everyone didn't hesitated, they didn't back down, and both Neah and Anona smiled.
"Then I wish you a good luck and a better future." Anona said, as she and Neah looked at each other and nodded, before looking forward and stretched out their right hands towards the group. They glow, both light and dark.
"What are you doing?" Neah smirked at them, the two immortals whispered to them. "Just collecting two others." Then the holy swords appeared in their hands.
"The Holy Swords!"
"You can't do something which result in violence, which will only make the situation more badly. These swords, are crying because..." Neah let the sentence trailed off. The Holy Swords shined and breaks into pieces, those pieces are still shining, formed into two balls, and then into two people, the people who knew them, widen their eyes. White angelic wings, white dresses, one with black long hair, the other with golden hair, and both are asleep.
"Kaa-san, Tokiko-san." Fuma said, but Anona flew to him and put a finger on his lips, and stopping him from going over to the other people.
"They are tired, their souls needs to rest. People, who bore these swords, are the reason they are crying because they suffer as well. Let their souls rest in peace." Fuma look at Anona, with a question of why in his head.
"There aren’t any endings nor there aren’t any beginnings, we are always in the middle, moving, watching, seeing, and living. If you want to continue on to the next page of tomorrow, then you have to let go of the people who are dead, nobody can bring the dead back. Trust me, I can't, I've tried." She moved away and back with Neah, their bodies began to fade.
"Wait! What was the price of that spell you cast?" Arashi asked, Anona smile at her, sadly.
"The price for that, that even in the next life, if I and Neah were to reincarnate, we could never meet Subaru and Kamui. I'm not sure how long the spell will last or how long will it work, but I know that even if Subaru, Kamui, and I were to never meet, even in the next life, I know that somewhere from within my soul, I will someday. That's enough, to reassure me that they are waiting for me to return with them, along with my other friends." Hinoto looked horrified at this, for a person to give up meeting the person they cherish in the next life, that feeling is terrible.
"That's horrible." Yuuto said to Anona, but Anona and Neah shrugged and held on to each other's hands tightly. Anona held Saya's and Neah held Tokiko's.
"Who knows, I might be able to meet them sooner, even though Neah and I cast that spell." Neah tightened his hold on Anona, who reassured him that they are still doing this together.
"Are we ever going to meet?" Karen asks, she is particularly fond of Anona. Anona looked at her, she could never forget the amazement she saw when Karen held a burst of flame from her hand. To her, that is really awesome.
"Someday. That I'm sure." Anona smile is genuine, happy that she was able to meet all these people.
"It's time for us to go." Neah said, and Anona nodded, accepting the fact that she cannot stay with them.
"Yeah, goodbye everyone and I wish you luck for the future." Then they faded, the dreamscape broke and pieces of the scene moved, falling, and turning into dust.
________________________________________
From afar, a man with wild red hair and red eyes wearing spectacles watched the Tokyo Tower and its flash show. He closes his eyes, and felt Anona drift away. Baka disciple, White hair and silver eyes smiled at him fondly, the red hair man smirk fondly of her image. May you rest in peace, Anona Walker. He was disturbed from his thoughts when the door opened fast; he turned behind to see red hair, an eye patch, and green eye.
"You felt it, didn't you?" The man asked the teen gruffly, the teen refused to look at him, but then the man himself already know the answer.
"So what are you going to do, Lorenzo?" The teen sighed, he wasn't Lavi, Lavi has been reborn as Lorenzo after dying, even though he carries Lavi's soul with him, and Lavi is crying because Anona died.
"Could you teach me magic, enough to protect the other people I will come to care about Michael?" Michael was Cross Marian, in his past life. He met Anona, only once, Anona have taught him magic she knew of, even though there aren't Akumas and Noahs, there are still people he need to protect. Michael, wasn't Cross, and yet he is. Michael took out the cigarette from his mouth and puffed out the smoke before looking at Lorenzo.
"Can you handle it? Can you handle the pain long enough to be sure that the people you care about are still alive?" Michael has to be sure; he needs to know if Lorenzo is ready for this. Lorenzo is determined to protect, to find the rest of those people that Lavi cared about, and the people that Anona cared about. To be able to help them, that alone will be enough to ease the soul within him from crying.
"Yes." In between were silence and Lorenzo winced when he saw Michael raised his hand, but he was shocked when he felt his hair being ruffled by the usually harsh man.
"I can see why she likes you." Lorenzo wasn't sure if it was Cross or Michael that was talking, but one thing for sure, he is going to go through hell due to the training that will be given by Michael.

Read and Review
Category: Clamp and expect some crossovers
Rating: Ranges from T to NC-17 (Due to some graphic scenes, language, blood, a bit of violence, and some hotness in some of these shorts and shots) Part V is very much T
Genre: Mostly Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Angst a bit of horror, friendship, tragedy, and supernatural.
Note: I'm slightly pissed of due to the fact I cannot post the whole thing on a single entry, so I'll try and post this in halves or quarters.
Note: After reading some SubaruxSakura fics, which I admit is now one of my favorite crossovers pairing, I ended up having a weird craving for a SubaruxSakuraxKamui fic. So, um from that point on, I think the crack bug struck me again and made me imagine more, and more of them. I wanted sleep badly, so I'm going to do something about it. I swear whenever I think of crossover pairings, it leads to some that isn't there on FF. net. Which makes me wonder *rushes to the window and yells: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE? 'cough'* I'm not sure if I put most of the characters in their characters, so um yeah. ^_^'' That said, let's begin with the collection.
Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote several of crossover pairings and some of them are pairings just from the anime or yaoi. Half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway.
Let's see:
- Card Captors Sakura, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles belong to CLAMP
- Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi
- NARUTO belongs to Massashi Kishimoto
- D. Gray-Man belongs to Katsura Hoshino
- DNAngel belongs to Yukiru Sugisaki
- Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou to Gosho Aoyama
- Kuroshitsuji belongs to Yana Toboso
- Pandora Hearts belongs to Jun Mochizuki
- 'Why' belongs to Ayaka
- 'You are my love' belongs to Yui Makino

Fai looked at the sleeping princess he carries in his arms, his face softens and he removes some of the hair strands that fall on her face. It won't be long before the Dog Duo came back. Mokona had went to grab a pillow and blanket for the sleeping girl. As Fai observe, this girl has an aura of being adventurous, kind, and calm, but she lost half of her heart. He reach for her unresponsive hand and kissed the back of it, even though he have two curses hovering over him like a plague, he is going to protect Sakura, and prevent her fate along with the rest of the travelers. Fai let go of her hand when he felt Mokona came back with the pillow and blanket for Sakura.

Touya looked into kitchen, wondering what Sakura is doing up late in the evening.
"Oi." He smiled; amused to see her jump three feet in the air, Sakura grew into a beautiful young woman. Even though she is sixteen, he still treated her like a little sister. However, for Sakura being this beautiful, came with a price and she had somehow gotten fan boys over the summer, much to Touya's displeasure. He wasn't ready to see her go with another man, and if that boy appeals to him, he'll have to accept. Touya, wanted to test the person who is suitable for Sakura, but knew he can't interfere. It didn't help with the breakup she has with Syaoran, but it did give him an excuse to be more threatening to him if he ever came close to Sakura again.
"Nii-san!" Ah yes, back to the present. Touya smirk, and looked over to what she is doing. Ah, chocolates for Valentine's Day, the dreaded day he hated the most.
"Why are you making chocolates so late in the evening?"
"I was sort of busy during the day, buying ingredients and the pans." Touya nodded, that makes sense since she already finished most of her homework in the afternoon.
"How many are you making?" She huffed at him, not ready to tell him. Touya noticed, and shook his head.
"Do you need help?" Sakura look at him, she knows that her brother is a bit overprotective of her, but then again he wouldn't know who those chocolates are for, right?
"Sure." After helping her bake the chocolates and wrapped them up, Touya can tell that there are twelve chocolates being made. One for Tomoyo, one for him, one for Yukito, one for their father, one for Kero, one for Yue, one for their great-great-grandfather, one for Tomoyo's mother, one for that quiet lavender hair girl, one for that brown hair tomboy, but who has the extra one. It’s a 'Sakura' shape chocolate, the rest are made up stars, which means Sakura found someone she like. Touya twitched, if that was true, then who was he and when did it happen? Touya twitched again, the boy that Sakura likes could be the same age as her. Sakura noticed her brother is twitching and shook her head in amusement. Nii-san, he must have found out that I have a sakura-shape chocolate for someone, and that I won't tell him.
After shooing him out of the kitchen, Sakura wrote something on the chocolate for her special person, it won't have a name of that person, but she knew that person will figure it out since he is a genius and all.
________________________________________
Morning came, and Touya groaned out of frustration of not being able to figure out who the person Sakura likes. He still hadn't figured it out even at work, Yukito looked at him, and chuckle.
"I'm guessing, you still hadn't found out who is going to receive that chocolate from Sakura-chan." Touya gave him a look, and Yukito laugh because it is really hilarious and adorable.
"Touya, Sakura-chan is a big girl. I'm sure she can handle a few boys." Touya sighed, although he has a sister and she likes someone, it doesn't mean he had to like it.
"I know, I just..." Yukito look at him, and understood that Touya never like the fact that Sakura might like someone.
"How about this, if Sakura-chan ends up going out dates with the person she likes, we will ask him to come over for dinner and meet him up." Yukito said, Touya look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"That must be Yue talking, wasn't he?" Yukito shrugged, his other self felt less comfortable about not knowing who the person his mistress likes. Meanwhile, somewhere nearby, twenty-one year old Neji is talking with twenty-two year-old Itachi, helping with the few of the items on the shelves.
"Should I be worried?" Itachi ask his fellow classmate, Neji looked at him focusing on the task on hand.
"Not mentally if you are wondering, but if I find out that your brother got that chocolate from Hinata-sama, he is going have to tread carefully with me for a month." Neji's eyes burned alight with fire in his and there was fire in the background, Itachi sweat drip because of his classmate's sister complex, but it didn't ease his worry about his brother. Neji calmed down when he heard Touya's and Yukito's conversation, Itachi listened to. As it turns out, Touya's younger sister gave a chocolate to someone. Neji whistled.
"I feel sorry for whoever receives the chocolate from Kinomoto-san's sister." Neji said, he heard about the break up between Touya's sister and her boyfriend, but that was last year. Even so, Touya continued to threaten the poor boy.
"Why?" Itachi ask.
"Kinomoto-san cares for his sister, and with that incident last year, he is a bit more overprotective of her when it comes to who she dates. Thankfully, Tsukishiro is around to calms him down long enough for the boy to get away." Itachi blinked, and recalled the break up between Sakura and Syaoran, even though Syaoran didn't mean any harm on her, he had hurt her. That's when the teddy bear in his hands ripped.
"Easy man, do you want us to lose one of our inventories?" Itachi blinked, before looking down at the teddy bear that's been ripped in his hands. He stares at it, and remember her green eyes filled with tears, it was enough for Itachi to want Syaoran to feel the pain he inflicted on Sakura. He sighed, what's done is done, and there was nothing he could do to heal that broken piece of her heart. He was able to be friends with Sakura, but Itachi loved her, even during her relationship with Syaoran, and he is afraid of her response to his confession. Would she cry? Would she laugh? Or would she look at him apologetic, and reject him?
"Itachi-san, are you alright?" Itachi looks at Neji, before nodding and deciding to put away the teddy bear and getting a new one.
"I'll be fine, thanks for worrying. I'm going to get a new one." Itachi went back into the storeroom, unaware that calculating white eyes stare at him. Neji knew something was up, whenever he mention about Sakura's break up along with Syaoran's name, Itachi would break something unconsciously. However, Neji refused to be curious and let his college friend handle it. It was not something that he should be bothered with.
________________________________________
It was in the late afternoon, and Itachi, being the last one, closed down the shop and sighed. There was no way he could tell Sakura he loves her, even after that break up with Syaoran. That break up however, was one year ago, but it didn't help either when he remember her tears when she cried into his chest, saying it wasn't fair. Shaking out of the thoughts, Itachi was about to close the door when he heard her voice.
"Itachi-san?" He paused, relaxes his body and is glad that the voice wasn't one of his fan girls when he turned to look at her. There she was, green eyes sparkling at seeing him, a small smile, she was still in her middle school uniform, and perhaps the cheer leading is today. Itachi noticed that she has a white shopping bag, next to her book bag, he brush the doubt away from his mind.
"Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan, how's school and practice today?" Itachi asked, Sakura grinned at him.
"School is fine, classes are normal and the cheer leading practice is well. One thing, could you tell your brother that his fan girls are annoying?" Itachi smirked, it wasn't something that can't be undone, and Itachi himself, is afraid of fan girls since he had some following him since he was an elementary school kid. He wasn't sure how Touya and Yukito were able to ignore them.
"I'll try, but I doubt it due to the fact that my brother complains it me about them." Sakura giggled, he loves her laugh, its sounds like a soft bell to him.
"So tell me, did Hinata-san gave him chocolate?" If Sasuke were to end up with those chocolates, he has to make sure to warn him to avoid Neji.
"I'm guessing her brother told you she was making chocolates." Itachi shrugged, a mock grin on his lips.
"Neji-san is worried and a bit over protective, but I don't blame him though."
"She did, she was blushing so hard that she nearly faint. Your brother, to tell you the truth, is shocked and I think he was blushing a bit with a dazed look in his eyes." That made Itachi chuckle, he'll definitely tease Sasuke about this.
"So how's work?" Itachi gave her look that made her laugh.
"I'm guessing boring, huh?"
"What gave it away?" Itachi said with mock sarcasm, though his grin gave it away.
"Say, Itachi-san, I was wondering if you can have this." The white bag was given to him, he looked in and his onyx eyes soften. He turned his attention to Sakura, blushing but also a bit nervous.
"I would love too, Sakura-chan." That's when she heard it, her smile is so beautiful, and he felt a blush on his cheeks.
"Thank you." Sakura said, with a kiss on his cheek, she left. Itachi stood there, tried to reel his mind and wrap it around him that the fact Sakura kiss him, on his cheek no less. He smiles. At least, that's a start.
________________________________________
Tomorrow came to quick, and Touya moped at the counter. Neji looked at Yukito, understanding the answer immediately.
"He still hasn't been able to find out who his sister likes." Neji smirked when he saw Yukito smile, he sympathize Touya, really he does.
"Yeah, he wasn't able to get the answer out of the answer from her last night, and she is very happy that she is able to give the chocolate to the person she likes." Neji shook his head, he really feel sorry for Touya. He went back to work where he is station to and saw Itachi nibbling on a piece of chocolate.
"You look happy, Itachi-san." Itachi smirk at Neji, Neji could tell that chocolate was from someone that is special to Itachi.
"So who gave it you?" Neji ask, curious on who the person that affected Itachi in more ways than one. Itachi looked at him, shrugging, he isn't going to be telling Neji anytime soon.
"Someone who is special to me." Itachi smile softly, he actually doesn't care if Neji saw him smile. In his mind, is Sakura, smiling at him. ((A/N:Here is what the note says on the chocolate. 'In the midst in being confused in my heart, you showed me that there are other people who care. That I agree, but there is one thing you are wrong about. Being with someone you love the most after getting their hearts broken, and with them needing you the most, shows enough emotion that you love them, that they are precious to you. Love, Sakura))

____________________________
Neah sighed, he wasn't sure what to play now. His heart is a bit confuse, He usually plays the piano with his emotions. What song should he play? He doesn't know. He sighs, and begins to plays music when he heard someone singing, it was a sad tune, but he could feel his hands going for the piano and playing the keys.
ame ni nureta hoho wa
namida no nioi ga shita
yasashii manazashi no
tabibito
Neah concentrated on the owner's voice; he wants to know who is singing that sad song. He closes his eyes, and could pick pieces of the owner's voice. It sounded so sad, lonely; he could feel that this person lost bits of memory in her travels and bits of pieces of it created a puzzle in his mind.
shizuka ni hibiiteru
natsukashii ongaku
omoidasenai kioku
samayou
Neah's used his piano as a portrait, and picture the person's face in his mind, a young woman sitting alone. That was obvious, and he concentrates harder to imagine her face and her aura. Being a pianist that can control this piano has its benefits.
yume wa tobitatsu no chiisana tsubasa de
omoi no kienai basho made
futari de
tooi umi wo sora wo koete
There were green eyes that are filled with sorrow, her cinnamon brown hair swayed in the wind. Although she was hurt and alone, most likely a traveler, she is still searching for her memories. He could feel the aura that surrounds her, light, adventurous, courageous, he paused in the middle of playing that song. He saw what he wasn't supposed to see, her lover betrayed her, killed the rest of her travelers, and killed himself. Feeling a bit guilty, he went out and followed the voice. Determined to help her find her memories. It was hard to find that voice, seeing as it is traveling from a very far distance, and that's when he found her.
kurai yoru no naka de
watashi wo terashiteru
yasashii manazashi no
anata ni
aitai...
Brown hair, green eyes, wearing a black and white Victorian dress, she looks like a princess, her aura is definitely adventurous, courageous, kind, and gentle, filled with light. She is an angel, one of those that he fears to taint because of who he is. But, he wanted to help so he steps forward.
"I heard you, and I wanted to help." The girl looks at him, with curiosity and a bit wary. She hadn't seen him before, but for him to hear her, it makes her feel happy that she was heard.
"My name is Sakura, what is yours?" Neah bit his lip, he wasn't supposed to tell his real name, he hadn't told Adam or the rest of the clan because he wanted to protect his brother, Mana.
"My name is Walker Neah."

Anona ran, hurrying into the library she had designed herself. Each bookcase has a lever at the end of it, nobody knows what they are for and nobody dared to touch it afraid of the consequences, but Anona knows since she is the one who created this library. She doesn't care if they are going to be angry at her, after all the people she knew when she was born, are dead, and the people she knew now will be quite upset. That ache alone and the fact that she is immortal due to awakening the Noah within her, making her still seventeen, would have driven her crazy. If it wasn't for the fact that she met Subaru and Kamui, then she would have put herself into a coma before going insane and destroy the world with her bare hands. Learning of their fates and the future that is to come, it’s enough for to her to be determined in stopping that fate and the future from ever happening.
Are you really sure about this? The soft whisper from the back of her mind, and there he was, transparent like a ghost, her uncle. Neah, looked at her with a shadow of worry behind the grinning facade. Anona looked at her uncle with determination, regret, and not one ounce of fear.
You’re not going to stop me? She asked him, Neah looked at her, his darling niece. She had grown so much, even after the Holy War and the horrors of the wars that came after it. She retained her sanity by talking to her uncle, having fun with Timcampi, helping and meeting people while she travels.
If I'm still alive along with my body, I would have knock you out unconscious and I probably would cast that spell on myself. That doesn't change the fact that you are going to be missed, especially by those two. Anona nearly froze, she chewed her lip, and this war has gone far enough. Even though it was prophesied, even though it continues all the way from god knows how long. Enough is enough. Nobody deserved it, especially those two.
I know. That's why I'm going to change the future, and that's why I left that voice device to Subaru and Timcampi to Kamui in their apartments. Neah's eyes widens at this.
You’re planning to leave the Ark and the Musician's Play to them. Anona stared at her uncle.
Only if they choose to be a Noah. I don't want the both of them to die, not like this, nor would I want them to choose to be a Noah because of whom I am. Neah smiles softly at her before pulling her close and hugged her tightly. Anona can feel the ghostly touch on her head.
They remind you of Alma, Kanda, you, and him don't they? Neah didn't hear the answer, but he didn't need to hear it because whenever she took control of her body, Neah can see what is going on through her eyes. He let her go.
Then let's do this together. Anona smiled, and both of them knew it is worth it. Neah disappeared from reality when Anona found the book she is looking for. As she is about to reach the black color spine covered with gold lament, when she heard their voices.
"Anona-san!" Anona froze, her hand over the spine of the book trembled. No, not now. Not when you are this close. Her mind whispered, Anona looked to her right and saw two of her most precious people at the end of the aisle, Kamui and Subaru. She smiled at them sadly and reached for the lever at the end of the bookcase that is close to her. Torn between with two choices, one is living with them alive and going through that tragic future, the other dying for the two of them to heal the Earth, long enough to sustain it past the Promised Day. She knew in her heart, that she rather choose the former than the later, but she doesn't wish or want them to go through the pain, both mentally and physically, like how she did when she is the only lone survivor of the Holy War.
The Millennium Earl and some of the Noahs are dead, which gave her relief, but the people she cared about. Cross, Kanda, Lenalee, Timothy, Komui, Reveer, Link, Klaud, Tiedroll, Fo, Bak Chan, Mana, Alma, Miranda, Ayster, Noise, Timothy, Bookman, Zorako, Hevalaska, most of the Science Department, and...Lavi are gone.
"Anona-tan!" His voice echoed happily through her, Anona can still hear it, and it made her heart ache remembering him. So she gripped the lever, and took the book the down. She can feel the tears building up in her eyes, but she can hear Neah soothed her sadness with the lullaby in her heart. Determined, she looked at them with a sad face, but she is smiling as if saying goodbye to them.
"I really wished I didn't have to do this, to the two people I care about the most. Kamui, Subaru, help each other grow, soothe each other’s pain, and live, keep on existing. If I was given a different choice, I want to live with you guys and the people I met and living in a bright future, but I don't want for you to suffer like I have through the Holy War. I'm so happy to meet all of you, to be able to feel love once again, to be able to make friends once again, and to be happy once more. I really don't want to say goodbye to either of you, but if..." Her sad face, mix with four other emotions, regret, determination, love, and hope. "If I want this to work, I want to prevent the future on both sides of the war, but enough to prevent the war from happening and enough for the Earth to heal and enough to sustain it..." Anona pulled down the lever, bright light surrounded them, making Kamui and Subaru close their eyes because of the brightness. Once that light is gone, a golden transparent wall stood between the two Seals and Anona. Anona pushed away her fear and sadness to the darkest corners of her soul. "It needs the life of an immortal."
The two seals eyes widen, realizing that Anona is an immortal. A living being that is still alive, hadn't aged one bit, and lived for a very long time. But, even so, they love her. Kamui was the first to run, then Subaru followed, they crashed against the golden barrier. They fought against it, but the wall stood strong.
"I'm really sorry for doing this to both of you, I really am." Anona said as she let the tears flow out, but her body isn't shaking. She opened the book, a gust of wind turn the pages, and ghostly arms hugged her shoulder, pulling her close. Subaru and Kamui froze at seeing a ghost appeared behind Anona, transparent as he is, they can still see his clothes and features. Black hair, gray skin, golden eyes, a beige trench coat, most of his clothes are out of date and look like he is from the 19th Century.
"I thought you were still in the back of my mind, Uncle Neah." Neah smirk at her, he pet her white hair. Anona felt the ghostly touch and lean to it, ignoring the shock and stares of the Two Seals in front of them. She did told them that her adopted father did have a younger brother, and that he is gone, she didn't said he was living within her the whole time.
"And leave you alone to do this, you wound me, my darling niece." Anona laugh, both from bitterness and relief that she isn't going to do this alone, judging from his mock sadness.
"I don't plan to." Neah grinned, before kissing her head and looked at the two seals who frantically tried to break the wall. In another world, and perhaps in another life, it would be nice to get to know the two seals who might be his potential son-in-laws.
"Thank you, the both of you. For letting her feel again." The wind stop, the page with that spell is there.
"Anona-san, don't do this." Anona looked at Kamui and Subaru, it was Kamui's voice she heard. She smiles at them bitterly, it’s cruel to leave them like this, but it’s her turn to be selfish.
"I'm sorry, you guys, but this is a goodbye." Both Seals shook their heads, no they can't let this happen.
"Please, Anona-san, what about the others who are affected by you? What about Kazuki and Kakyou?" Subaru asked, still fighting the golden barrier, Anona's hands clutched the book, enough to wrinkle its pages, Kazuki and Kakyou became attached to her, but she steeled her heart with determination. I really am one unlucky kid, aren't I? Anona thought bitterly, but Neah's soft humming in her mind made her calm down. but there is no turning back and I am going to put an end to the prophecy. Those two, they've suffered long enough, its best for them to feel peace, and gain happiness later.
"Tell them, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you guys or with them. That I love them, and I love you guys. Tell them I said goodbye, and that everything is going to be alright." Anona and Neah chanted the spell, black tendrils sweep through the golden barrier, and wrapped around their wrists, ankles, and necks, before it slowly spreads to cover all of the body. The chanting has been done, the book drop with a thud, pages open but the spell faded into the page. Subaru and Kamui looked at Anona with panic, and she softly smile at them, tears trailed down her cheeks.
"Perhaps in another life, in another world, I hope we'll see each other again. Take care and live, exist until you are old and wrinkled, I've asked Timcampi to watch over both of you. Sayonara." They've caught a glimpse of her fleeting smile, and both of them are crying out as the black tendrils covered her face.
"ANONA-SAN!" The library shook, the two bodies of black balls, shine with a brilliant white light. Both Kamui and Subaru turned away from the light, the library stopped shaking, the light faded and the wall dissolved much like how the Dragon of Heaven's kekkai dissolved because its user is fatally injured. Kamui and Subaru adjusted their eyes and saw Anona, lying on floor, eyes closed and not breathing. Pale, Subaru walked and bent down to cradle her body to him.
"No, not again. Anona-san." Subaru heard Kamui's voice, and put down Anona's body, walked back to Kamui and held them. Allowing Kamui to cry on him, and he whispered the words to her corpse.
"Sayonara, Anona-san. Rest in peace." A tear fell, and for some reason, Subaru can feel ghostly arms around both Subaru and Kamui before letting go and that warm presence went.
________________________________________
Outside of the Library, however, the light still shine and reached to the dream gazers who watched in awe and amazement. It had also reached the Dragons of Heaven and Earth, freeing them from their chained fates.
"Where's Kamui?" Fuma asked as he stared down the city, and wonder how he got there.
"If you're looking for Kamui, he needs time alone with Subaru for me for leaving them." A soft melodic voice sang behind him, a far off memory of being controlled and manipulated is blurred and frizzled. Fuma look behind him to see a girl with a white dress, long white hair and soft silver eyes, white angelic wings protruding from her back. Then the scene around them changed, the Dragons of Heaven and Earth saw each other, minus Subaru and Kamui, their dream seers, Kanoe and Hinoto.
"Anona-san? What's with those wings?" Kakyou said, he saw those wings before, a distant dream, a distant memory, but it also brought pain to him. Those familiar white wings, soft and angelic, Anona smile sadly at the people that knew her. Kazuki shook his head at this, no he refused to believe she is dead. Yuzuriha gasp, she covered her mouth with one of her hands and cried, crying into Kusangi's chest.
"You're the girl, who Kamui and Subaru met." Hinoto spoke, Anona looked at the Dragons of Heaven's priestess and smile before nodding.
"Yes, I am." Arashi cried, she really loved the girl like a sister. She can't die.
"Arashi-neechan, don't cry." A pale hand lifted her cheek to see Anona smile at her with sad eyes.
"How is it possible that we can't see you or sense you, both in the future, dreams, and present?" Kanoe asked, the hand dropped from Arashi's face and Anona smiled at the woman.
"I believe that was my doing." Gray skin, black hair, golden eyes, and in a beige coat with out of date clothes, the young man appear before them with a smile, right next to Anona. He has white angelic wings as well.
"Although, I don't think I deserve these wings because of who I am." Anona reached for his hand, Neah smiled at her and give a kiss to the back of her hand. To Neah, Anona will always be his little girl, his little princess, even though she is adopted by his older brother, Mana.
"You're-" Neah tensed when he heard Hinoto gasped, and relaxed. He isn't living in the 19th Century anymore, but if someone had recognized him in that time, it will made him protective over his niece.
"I'm her adoptive Uncle, Neah Walker, and the Fourteenth Noah. Anona Walker is my host and my niece. Both of us, lived a very long time, alone, it was hard for my niece after a first few years of finding out being an immortal, there were times both of us tried to kill ourselves, but none of them will work. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't die that easily, the only way we can is using Innocence, but all of them are gone. The others were spells, but that wasn't until we found them later. And then, Anona heard something." Their attention was turned to the white haired girl who smiled sadly at Neah.
"I hear whispers from ghosts, something about the future and the Earth's fate due to war between two powerful forces. Neah cast a spell, using the Dark Matter he has, he hid me from being seen in both present, future, and dreams so I would be able to buy us time and prevent the war. I don't want anyone, especially Subaru and Kamui, to suffer anymore than I have from the Holy War. I seen things I wasn't suppose to see, I seen how my side of the war have a dark side and I've seen how the other side have light, even though they work for a crazed maniac named Millennium Earl, Adam. After seeing these, I was forced to walk on a gray path, because I want to be a savior for both humans and akumas." Anona gulped, she hated remembering those memories, the memories before meeting Kamui and Subaru.
"But my wish for that dream, is far too great. My friends died on both sides, two died alone, my uncle's brother and older sister died together, my late lover died after being infected by parasites from the other side. And where was I? Chained in the bottom of their dungeon, weak and hopeless, I can't do anything to prevent their deaths. In rage, I destroyed most of the Noah Clan, my Uncle killed those that hurt me in the Vatican. After calming down, I cried, I never felt so alone, even with my uncle, I wanted to die, I wanted to be with everyone, but I knew that if I were to prevent the future that will come, I won't have any more regrets. My shishou did say, I'm really am one unlucky kid. I guess what he said is true." Anona let Neah pull her close, those memories; he put a lock on them to ease the pain and suffering.
"The Vatican?" Anona slap her hand on her mouth, she wasn't supposed to say that, but Neah soothed her by threading and running his fingers through her white hair. Neah glared at Seishiro, who smiled at him, unaffected by that glare.
"The Vatican changed after the Holy War, but back then, one of them decided that if I was too dangerous, Anona was to be killed on sight." The girls gasped, some of the guys are shocked at this, while the other guys clenched their fists, they couldn't believe how much Anona and Neah went through at that time.
"That is before you met Kamui and Subaru, they remind you of you and some other people." Yuzuriha said, Anona met her gazed and nodded with a small smile.
"So why Kamui and Subaru aren't here?" Sorta asked, Anona looked at the monk with a smile.
"I can't answer that, they will have to find out themselves. Choose their own path, not the one that has been given to them. But if you want to know, if they were here, they wouldn't let me go. If I were to pass on, I need to be let go. So would one of you tell them, that all they need to do is let go and treasure the memories we have of each other once they gotten over their grief." Hearing this, Sorta shouted 'I will', but ended up fighting with Yuzuriha because she wants to do it as well, making Anona laugh. She turns her attention to Fuma, Kazuki, and Kakyou.
"If one of them forgets, can you...?" Fuma, Kazuki, and Kakyou nodded. Anona turned to Seishiro with hesitation, she took in a deep breath and flew over until she is a few meters away from. Neah hesitated at this, but he will keep a sharp watch on the Sakurazukamori.
"I know that you've caused a lot of pain and suffering to Subaru, but Seishiro-san, is you lose sight of the things you love the most, you won't be able to regain it easily. For once, forget your duty as an assassin, forget about being a Sakurazukamori, and that ancient Sakura Tree, and come back and apologize to Subaru. If this keeps up, Subaru will become you after you die, me and the people who knew Subaru, wouldn't want that on him." Seishiro looked at the angel, the one who is able to let Subaru feel normal once again, allowing him to smile and laugh. He smiled grimly at the angel.
"I can't, a Sakurazukamori can't feel emotions no matter how hard I tried." Anona smile at the assassin, Neah once told her that the Noahs are people that are born without hearts, only feeling echoes from the Original Noah's emotions.
"That may be true, but even if a person without emotions; they can feel echoes of those emotions. Someone once told me that Noahs are people that are born without hearts, only feeling echoes from the Original Noah's emotions, that what makes them feel emotions, even if that being is created or not real, that living being can still feel echoes of emotions because of their soul. Plus, everyone deserves a second chance, don't you think?" Seishiro blinked at her, before kneeling down to her height and hug her, now he knows why Subaru loves this girl. Even though this girl suffered, broken, and the light in her eyes fled, she knew that people can still changed the future, even if it is still too late, you can make amends and hope for a brighter future, even if it’s bleak.
"Thank you, but that still doesn't solve the tree problem." Anona smiled at him, letting him go.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Subaru and Kamui will know the way. It isn't too late to change it, you still have a chance to repair and make amends with him. Don't lose that chance, Seishiro-san, otherwise Neah and I will come back and haunt you." Seishiro smirked at the young angel; he had no doubt that those two will do that.
"What about the Earth's future?" Anona look behind to see everyone puzzled about it, she smile and flew back to Neah.
"That is for you to decide, even though I've repair most of the damage for the Earth. There are still parts of it that the Earth continues to cry in pain. The Promised Day would come in the future if nothing has been changed, but if you change it, help other people and get them to help you, then that Promised Day somewhere in the future will fade." The Dragons of Heaven and Earth look at each other, before deciding.
"I think we all have enough of the endless war, the bitter emotions that comes with after the storm, and how some places are very corrupted. If we want to change the world, and make Earth a safer and better place, then we have a lot of work to do." Kusangi said with a smile, Yuzuriha grinned at this, Anona looked at everyone seeing they all agreed.
"If you choose that path, you will also have to know that some places refuse to change, which also bring pain to you. Are you still willing to choose that path?" Neah asked, but everyone didn't hesitated, they didn't back down, and both Neah and Anona smiled.
"Then I wish you a good luck and a better future." Anona said, as she and Neah looked at each other and nodded, before looking forward and stretched out their right hands towards the group. They glow, both light and dark.
"What are you doing?" Neah smirked at them, the two immortals whispered to them. "Just collecting two others." Then the holy swords appeared in their hands.
"The Holy Swords!"
"You can't do something which result in violence, which will only make the situation more badly. These swords, are crying because..." Neah let the sentence trailed off. The Holy Swords shined and breaks into pieces, those pieces are still shining, formed into two balls, and then into two people, the people who knew them, widen their eyes. White angelic wings, white dresses, one with black long hair, the other with golden hair, and both are asleep.
"Kaa-san, Tokiko-san." Fuma said, but Anona flew to him and put a finger on his lips, and stopping him from going over to the other people.
"They are tired, their souls needs to rest. People, who bore these swords, are the reason they are crying because they suffer as well. Let their souls rest in peace." Fuma look at Anona, with a question of why in his head.
"There aren’t any endings nor there aren’t any beginnings, we are always in the middle, moving, watching, seeing, and living. If you want to continue on to the next page of tomorrow, then you have to let go of the people who are dead, nobody can bring the dead back. Trust me, I can't, I've tried." She moved away and back with Neah, their bodies began to fade.
"Wait! What was the price of that spell you cast?" Arashi asked, Anona smile at her, sadly.
"The price for that, that even in the next life, if I and Neah were to reincarnate, we could never meet Subaru and Kamui. I'm not sure how long the spell will last or how long will it work, but I know that even if Subaru, Kamui, and I were to never meet, even in the next life, I know that somewhere from within my soul, I will someday. That's enough, to reassure me that they are waiting for me to return with them, along with my other friends." Hinoto looked horrified at this, for a person to give up meeting the person they cherish in the next life, that feeling is terrible.
"That's horrible." Yuuto said to Anona, but Anona and Neah shrugged and held on to each other's hands tightly. Anona held Saya's and Neah held Tokiko's.
"Who knows, I might be able to meet them sooner, even though Neah and I cast that spell." Neah tightened his hold on Anona, who reassured him that they are still doing this together.
"Are we ever going to meet?" Karen asks, she is particularly fond of Anona. Anona looked at her, she could never forget the amazement she saw when Karen held a burst of flame from her hand. To her, that is really awesome.
"Someday. That I'm sure." Anona smile is genuine, happy that she was able to meet all these people.
"It's time for us to go." Neah said, and Anona nodded, accepting the fact that she cannot stay with them.
"Yeah, goodbye everyone and I wish you luck for the future." Then they faded, the dreamscape broke and pieces of the scene moved, falling, and turning into dust.
________________________________________
From afar, a man with wild red hair and red eyes wearing spectacles watched the Tokyo Tower and its flash show. He closes his eyes, and felt Anona drift away. Baka disciple, White hair and silver eyes smiled at him fondly, the red hair man smirk fondly of her image. May you rest in peace, Anona Walker. He was disturbed from his thoughts when the door opened fast; he turned behind to see red hair, an eye patch, and green eye.
"You felt it, didn't you?" The man asked the teen gruffly, the teen refused to look at him, but then the man himself already know the answer.
"So what are you going to do, Lorenzo?" The teen sighed, he wasn't Lavi, Lavi has been reborn as Lorenzo after dying, even though he carries Lavi's soul with him, and Lavi is crying because Anona died.
"Could you teach me magic, enough to protect the other people I will come to care about Michael?" Michael was Cross Marian, in his past life. He met Anona, only once, Anona have taught him magic she knew of, even though there aren't Akumas and Noahs, there are still people he need to protect. Michael, wasn't Cross, and yet he is. Michael took out the cigarette from his mouth and puffed out the smoke before looking at Lorenzo.
"Can you handle it? Can you handle the pain long enough to be sure that the people you care about are still alive?" Michael has to be sure; he needs to know if Lorenzo is ready for this. Lorenzo is determined to protect, to find the rest of those people that Lavi cared about, and the people that Anona cared about. To be able to help them, that alone will be enough to ease the soul within him from crying.
"Yes." In between were silence and Lorenzo winced when he saw Michael raised his hand, but he was shocked when he felt his hair being ruffled by the usually harsh man.
"I can see why she likes you." Lorenzo wasn't sure if it was Cross or Michael that was talking, but one thing for sure, he is going to go through hell due to the training that will be given by Michael.
