The Love Of Music to the Heart [Multi-fandom love story]

11: Pile of Black Feathers

Tokiya had chosen to think about what Yuki had told him, it was obvious that she was freaking about what she had found out about herself. But he didn't know how to go about comforting her about it. Sure he loved her, but he didn't know how to he could go on knowing what he had about her. He knew he had to be honest with her so he went to talk to her in her room only to see a pile of feathers and a note beside it.

Tokiya frowned as he realized that it was too late for him to say a word to her. That her time was truly as short as she said it was. He picked up the note and he read it, hoping that it wasn't a goodbye note from her.

|To my dearest love, It is time to show me that you love me and care as much about me as you say and claim that you have. We have gone through hell in a hand basket. Can you truly handle all of me and accept me as I am or will you falter at the mere sight of how I truly am? Hold on to my black feathers and you will see the real me before you.|

'...the real me...' 

Reading those words made things become rather real for him, knowing that the only way he'd be able to see the female he loved was to go and see what the real her looked like. He picked up her black feathers only for him to be placed on the platform. Tokiya first realized that the two people on either side of him were Shun and Kakeru who he knew. He also saw Masato and Sogo to his left and Iori and Reiji to his right.

"Welcome to the Room of Time Ichinose Tokiya, your heart falters. But fear not you are not the only one who's heart falters about the situation at hand. Those in the same agency are just the same as you. I will say that the three of you will have a harsh time getting through this trial with the heart and mind process that the three of you are going through right now." Julian said before he made himself know as he walked between Shun and Tokiya

He then leaned against the crystal once more. "You have questions I bet, so go on and ask."

"Just where are we?" Tokiya asked

"You are in another time and place, it should be mentioned that until all of you have chosen what you wish to do and how things will go-all times where the lot of you are from have been stopped by the princess herself."

"Princess?" Tokiya asked confused

"Apparently the woman that we all knew and fell in love with are parts and pieces of the woman in the crystal. They were all pieces of one that pulled us together. The woman herself is named Princess Hanarina." Shun explained 

"I see...is there anyway for us to see the women that we once knew?" Tokiya asked Julian.

"Yes, once the last male shows up. Which I have to personally go and get. All of you are to stay here until I come back."

Julian then reached into the crystal to grab ahold of Hanarina's scythe before he went to the gray pillar that was between Iori and Shun. He then sliced the pillar with an 'x' motion before he walked into the dark purple and black portal that made itself known inside of the pillar. 

Once he did Tokiya looked around "So are we really all just going to stay here?"

"You can move if you want, but you lose the chance to see that woman you were around."Haruka said with his arms crossed

"How can you be sure that he's even telling the truth about that?" Masato asked confused

"It's not something that he had said-it is something that the Princess said." Gaku said

"Indeed, it has been warned by us that have actually gained the trust and love of the woman named Hanarina that if we move from our places that we lose our place beside her. So move if you wish-but you will lose all memory and history with the woman you once loved." Shun explained

Reiji furrowed his eyebrows a bit. "I just wish to have Shy back...this shouldn't have happened."

"I don't think any of us wanted to see the woman we love be known as a clone to someone else." Haruka stated "Had I known that Rena was a damn clone I wouldn't have poured my damn heart out to her, but hearing just how much she wanted to be around me and the fact that I was the only one that saw the real her I'm not moving a damn bit from where I am. She chose me for a damn reason and I ain't doing shit until I talk to that woman one on one about this bull shit."

"I have more than a mere relationship on the line-I have a child on the line as well. Neither Ayano or I could  have ever had thought that something like this could happen. I know Ayano and if she had known previously to when she had about the fact that she was a clone she wouldn't have gotten so involved with me and started the family we have together." Gaku said seriously

Aoi agreed with Gaku "Hana was pregnant with the child her and I had together. I understand how you feel. I only hope that I can see Hana one last time."
