1st Song [Voice]

[Where? Just where was sure? One moment, she was in Serenes, next to her father, trying to guide their people into healing all of their own wounds. The hidden scars the wars and years have left on them. The hologram message, everything didn't make sense. She idly glances down at an worn pendent made of a phoenix feather. The one gift she swore to never lose. Her beloved gave it to her.

The sound of surf and sand can be heard before a much softer sound, then the sound of someone falling into the sand. There was a silence for a few moments before a soft song is transmitted through the communicators. The voice singing in a warm, gentle and loving tone.]

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are gray.
You never know dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away.


[The verse is sung again before she goes to just hum for a few moments and then the smartphone was pressed off.]

A storm? What exactly happened? What did it do to them?

[And he's going to raise an eyebrow at that.]

Unless Reyson is a child I'm going to hope that when you say "play" it actually means something else, and it's just you misunderstanding it.

[Because he knows his wife.]

And it's not the same. I doubt the Wolf Queen is a being anchored in chaos and destruction as much as the Phoenix, even if there's life and rebirth on it as well... It's just a huge difference with the normal Heron and probably with your other suitors. Besides, I'm not fit to be the husband of a princess, I would never fool myself to think I am.

I know you chose me and I'll never stop to wonder what madness took hold of you to do that, to grant me that honor. But I know my place and I wouldn't want me to cause trouble for you at your world.

[One of the many reasons why he also won't really do much with her regarding sex and such. No matter how much Ace insisted.]

... If you insist. But you need to tell me what you are talking about, I don't see anything weird in your face.

The opposite? ... I suppose that doesn't mean Ace was a man of ice, right?

[No, chances are it changed their personality and character. For Ace... Would that make him a Marine? A bad one maybe, because even as a pirate Ace was a good person as far as Ikki's concerned. He wishes he had been there to help her but... What if he had been affected as well? The opposite of how he is... What would that be? He doesn't even want to think of it.

He shakes his head as she explains how she's not misunderstanding it.]


Leanne... You are misunderstanding it, I'm completely sure now. But it's okay, if he has the same strength as you chances are he would break his hand if he tried to punch me so I'll be careful to avoid him injury.

[At least the idea of one of her brothers yelling at him and trying to punch him fits with what he would expect so... He will agree with Reyson most probably even if he refuses to leave Leanne's side.]

... I wouldn't say that Leanne, I see you for what you are as much as the others. It's almost impossible to not see you as a Heron, you're the very definition of it from looks to your attitude.

[That's not what she means but what else is she? She's Leanne and a Heron, there's nothing else in the picture!]

You balance my Chaos, I would be a fool to deny how much your sole existence helps me to calm down. When I arrived here hours ago I was ready to destroy this place because you weren't here, if I didn't was because Marco found me and so did Seiya and Dohko. But now... Now you're here and right now all I want is to be with you... Or go find Ace and drag him here so he meets us and we can start anew right away.

[He really wants to go meet Ace now that he thinks of it. Even if moments before he had been stressing about it. That's the magic of Leanne's presence.]

Your scars?

[Ikki pauses and blinks before he smiles, widely and... Glowing with pride and love for her as he looks at her and the scars that worry her so much.]

My love... Did you forget who I am? Those tiny, faint scars... No matter how many there are or how much of your body they cover, they are yours and I love them. All they do is make me lament not being there for you but... They also prove that my wife is a woman capable of taking care of herself and fight her own wars, and for that, I couldn't love them more or be more proud of them.

[And he leans in, mentally excusing himself to the animal they have yet to bury, but he needs to do this now. He moves to kiss her lips briefly before moving to kiss every scar that he spots in her face and neck. No longer beautiful she says, if anything she's even more beautiful now than before. And it fills him with so much pride he could explode.]

You said the "opposite". But yes, that would be going too far even for a storm. He would explode from the contradiction.

[He shakes his head.]

Just because he gets along with people doesn't mean that the punches and screaming he does is a play. I punch and scream at people and it's not a game.

[She wasn't there when he woke up and he didn't expect her to be, he hadn't expected anyone to be, nor anyone that would know him. That's probably why it felt even worse, because at first he had been angry at being pulled from his new home but then he was angry at ending in a place where he could have still been with her but she wasn't there.]

You have nothing to be sorry about, I wasn't scared just angry. I didn't expect anyone I knew to be here, much less people who knew me, so when I met them and realized that you could have been here. That you could come here but not remember me or love someone else... That's when I got angrier.

I'm not sure what I would have done if you had loved someone else. If you just didn't remember me I had full intention of just getting to know you again. [And courting the hell out of her, this time with full intention. But he won't say that.]

But you're here now, that's what matters the most as Marco said.

[Aaand if she makes that noise that only makes him want to kiss her scars even more. But there are other matters to be attended to at first, so he pulls back and smiles.]

Silly, those are my lines. I'm the one who definitively doesn't deserve as much as you give me.

But let's leave that for later, where do you think I should dig?

[And his attention is back to the park and the task at hand.]

Fireworks. He would be an explosion of fireworks.

[It's not even something to wonder about.]

Maybe he is aggressive? Have you considered that? What happened to him after the attack, while you were asleep? I suppose that unless he was asleep as well he probably has a lot of anger inside, even if he can come to forgive and move on, I wouldn't fault him for having a seed of aggression in him after what you all had to go through.

[Because chances are that just like Leanne thought they were all dead, Reyson may have thought the same, that his family and people were dead. And if he had to live through years of that... Then again, it's just speculation, he doesn't know the other and can't expect to do so. But he's pretty sure that it's not a game as Leanne thinks.]

I have no intention of doing so, never had any intention to begin with. Let's hope the stars are kind enough to grant us that wish. Or to at least allow us to reunite again should we ever come apart... Though I do not wish for us to become like Orihime and Hikoboshi.

[But he supposes it would still be better than to never see each other again.

His smile doesn't fade even as she composes herself, simply looking at where she's pointing before nodding.]


As you wish, I'll be done in a moment.

[And he will get to work, digging with his own hands a nice grave for the animal before gesturing for her to put it to rest there once he's done.]

It's Ace so... Big ones. And he wouldn't sparkle, that's Marco's bussiness.

[He has never seen Ace sparkle but already can tell that Marco does. He does it even when he's not in phoenix form, at least in Ikki's eyes.]

Well, even if he doesn't approve I can't say I would back away. I may not want to cause you trouble, but I don't care enough to be willing to give up on you.

[Besides, it's not as if he has anything that would prove that her being with him puts her in danger or would cause her more pain. There's the memory of Esmeralda but... Ikki is at a point where he has given up and decided to be greedy and just take what he wants in this regard. He blames Ace for that.]

Hmm, they are two deities from my world from an old folkstale. Orihime was the daughter of Tentei, the Jade Emperor, she had the talent of weaving beautiful clothes, so beautiful that her father wanted her to keep weaving them forever, so she did, happy to make her father happy. But with time she also began to long being able to fall in love because her work didn't allow her to go and meet other people. Her father understood her wish and set her to meet Hikoboshi, a young man who lived across the Amanogawa, a river made of stars, also known as the Milky Way, and who tended to the cows of heaven.

When the two met, Orihime and Hikoboshi fell in love right away, and got married soon after. But after that, both were so busy with each other that they stopped tending to their jobs. The Jade Emperor got angry and separated them forcefully, sending Hikoboshi back to the other side of the Amanogawa. Orihime cried and pleaded with her father and eventually the emperor allowed them to meet again, but only one day per year and only if both of them worked hard at their respective tasks.

[Ikki explains the tale easily as he works on the grave, falling silent after it and waiting patiently as Leanne gives the last goodbye to the animal. Once she's done he works on covering the grave again.]

After meeting Marco I have the feeling they are both just equally loud, though.

[He smiles at that before he shrugs.]

Thanks, but for now it doesn't really matter. Does it? We have no way to get to your world and they aren't here. And even if we could go to your world I should first go to mine and finish my mission.

[So that Seiya can be saved. Or the whole world destroyed. Whatever happens first.

He remains silent as he focuses on his current task, giving the animal as much respect as he can, as well as kindness. It's not much, he knows it, but... Leanne had choosen to give the animal all that love, as her husband he should do the same and support her. Besides he had felt it in its Cosmos, how happy and glad it was that Leanne had found it, that she was loving it as it left.

He takes her hands and squeezes them, smiling at her tenderly and not saying anything about the tears. He hates to see her cry but... He can't fault her for it this time.]


Thank you, Leanne. Thank you for being so kind and loving, the world doesn't deserve you.

[He kisses her forehead, he is so lucky to be loved by her. So lucky to have met her. Part of him wonders if he's dreaming and this is just that, a dream and that he will wake up in this world without her. Or without remembering her.]

I'll put you in a bubble of Cosmos then so it doesn't hurt you.

[Like he tried to do when that plant illness was spreading around. Nevermind how that ended for him, he will do it again if given the chance.]

I wouldn't think of talking you out of it. Just of running away without you while you're distracted with something else. But right now none of that is something to consider.

[At least he's honest in that he would just try to sneak away without her, because he knows that if they talk about it she just won't give up.

He allows her time to cry, as much as he hates it, when it's for something like this he can understand and allow it. It would be much different if she cried because of him, that's what he hates the most. The idea of causing her so much pain that she would cry.]


... We should? Things have really changed, haven't they? I would have never expected you to be impatient about undressing and showing even me your naked body.

[He's just teasing. And he doesn't really feel any urgency in seeing her scars, he's sure they are as beautiful as the ones he can already see.]

Or is your heat coming up again?

[It wasn't that long ago since she had one with him but... If it has been longer for her maybe the cycles are messed up or something.]

[Well, he's not surprised by her reply but she should know him enough to predict what he will answer.]

I know I'm not allowed to do that. But see, I'm your husband and you're my precious wife, so I'll do whatever I consider it's necessary to protect you. And, regardless of what you think, you're worth every sacrifice. I'm afraid the only way for you to avoid all that would be to run away from me.

[But she won't do that, would she? He smiles at her, almost arrogant but full of confidence and strength.]

Yes, you should. It wouldn't be fair that I'm the only one on guard regarding where you are going.

[He laughs at her reaction, allowing her to push him away, his laugh rumbling in his chest, warm and relaxed. Only she makes him feel like that.]

I already told you, didn't I? I love your scars, no matter how many of them you have, or where you have them. And unless you can tell me who caused them so I can burn them alive until their skin and muscles melt and their bones turn into ashes, there's no reason for any of us to worry about them.

[And he reaches for her to bring her closer and nuzzle her face and neck, kissing it softly.]

Well, we're not sure what season is going on in this world, maybe we should check that, just in case it affects you. That worries me more than the scars.

Oh, I'm a bully now? And what are you going to do about it?

[He's just teasing her while holding her close, still smiling and looking at her with nothing but love -and some amusement- in his eyes.]

Now I'm the stupid one? It wasn't me who ran to meet someone who scared me and gave me a bad feeling without telling anyone, was it?

[He has no idea if he looks handsome to her or not, hus just knows he loves feeling this way and it only happens when she's around. Though if she told him that he looked attractive he would probably blush and deny it.]

Oh, well, if they all perished already I suppose there's nothing I can do. Unless I find a way into the afterlife in your world while you have me locked there, then I could exact my revenge on them. Doesn't matter that they are already dead.

[He has just been with her, so he doesn't really feel a need to be with her, but she has been without him for so long... Part of him, the phoenix inside him, wants to be affectionate with her and make sure that she remembers him and has his scent all over. So that no one doubts she's his wife.

He pauses a bit as she talks about her first heat, he remembers her being in pain and uncomfortable and him being worried and not knowing what to do. He had thought that at least it was over and it would be a while before it happened again, but it seems that he wasn't allowed that break.]


Did you suffer? While they happened in your world without me? Or did they not happen?

So you're going to try to bully me? Something small and delicate like you?

It wasn't that long ago for me. And it was one of your biggest blunders, I've to use it for all its worth.

[And it's not like she can't use some of hi> own blunders against him.

She already starts to do so when she mentions how handsome he looks, which promptly makes him blush, but he won't give up easily! So he fights it back and just smiles even more arrogantly.]


Hooh? Am I to take that as a signal that all Heron males and other Laguz were ugly and deformed? Or that you have a bad memory and thus remembered me as being ugly and deformed?

[He hums, raising an eyebrow and looking almost as if he's taking that as a challenge.]

Hades' body was hidden deep within Elysium a realm not accesible by humans or invaders, but that didn't stop us and we got to him. It may not be easy, but I've experience in facing hard times when dealing with deities.

[He catches the ear wiggling and laughs again against her neck.]

I see that no matter how much time passes, those little ears of you still love to wiggle.

[He sighs in light annoyance when she explains how they expected her to be strong and a prime example.]

I know you're a princess and all, but I would have thought they would have cut you some slack with everything that happened. Besides, it's not like you choose when to have them and all that.

[His eyes fall when she comments how her father tried to pressure her. He didn't like it but... And despite his natural predisposition to hate fathers... He could understand how the man probably felt.]

Well, you can't really blame him, can you? His precious daughter finally woke up and became a woman only to go on saying that she had choosen a mate in some other world she had visited while she was asleep. Even if you didn't say the part about Nautilus, I was still a man he had no way to know that really existed.

He must have worried a lot that his daughter would end all alone because of some stupid dream.

What ways? Should I go find a ladder so you can use them more comfortably at an appropiate height?

[He sees her ignore it so he will repeat it.]

You're still pretty young. We will have to wait to check for the stupid.

[He's not sure it's not there anymore. Or he is, but it's fun to tease her. And no! He won't let her get the upper ground! He will raise again!]

Mmhmm, now that you say it I think you have mentioned that before. So I guess that's all you like and want me for? For being confident? So many other guys fit that bill, though. Should I get worried that you may change your mind after all if someone more confident appears?

[He's not really worried, after all he's sure she has already met plenty of guys more confident and handsome than him.]

Just ears, but they are your ears.

[And so he loves them and moves to kiss one of them.

His mood changes a little when she comments on not being a princess though.]


Wait, what? You're not a princess? Did your father disinherit you or something so you lost the tittle? But they still expect you to be some example and protect them?!

[Getting all the wrong ideas over here.]

Maybe he has just given up on Reyson because he has dealt with him longer. Or because he's a guy and your father is the type that thinks a woman must be married as soon as possible or she loses value or something.

[Or he's worried others will think that way when looking at Leanne. Ikki's not blaming the man, he doesn't know him, but either way he doesn't agree with pressuring Leanne either. Then again he's quite biased. He's the reason why she won't marry after all.]

So basically you have nothing and will have to try to plan it out.

[His confident smile only grows at that.]

You call that stupid, I say that was noble. To die protecting the one I love is a death many would envy. And maybe I wouldn't have ignored them if a certain someone hadn't decided to describe some "mysterious ideal man" rather than saying "I love you".

[He sighs, pressing against her as he hears her say those things that still feel incredible. That he could complete someone, that he could make someone strong and not just cause them pain and death? A small part of him still counts the days before this strange dream ends, when the truth of what he causes to those he loves around him comes back knocking at his door. He ignores it all.]

Ah, so you're the Queen now. No wonder they will be so annoying about having to be strong and what not.

[It's funny how he says that as if he thinks that being queen must be a real pain and annoyance.]

Either way, you're here now so you don't have to worry about that, do you? You can just relax and be Leanne.

But you described him so well as if he was someone else, not to mention that I still can't see some of the good things you claim to see in me. And I also said that I would give you my life, yet you didn't accept it, did you?

[He follows her movements, shifting to lay down with her as she requests. It's not as if he has anything better to do at the moment.]

I know, but some stupid part of me still finds it hard to believe that I could be this lucky. But I know, and I love you as well, you're my family and as precious as my siblings if not more.

[After all, life without his brothers is annoying but bearable. Life without her? That would result in a very, very, very angry phoenix all day long.]

If they wanted a king they should have put Reyson in the throne, shouldn't they? Or Rafiel, him being married to the Wolf Queen would make for a good way to settle an alliance even more, at least that's how it was done in my world when monarchies ran rampant.
