In a Time long past, and on a plane of existence that is far different from
our own there were two people. On this plane of existence there were
millions of people, but what made these two special was that they shared a
special bond. As they were in love and were well loved by all, they found a
way for them to find each other in every life they were born into.
Kindred spirits and immortal souls that they were, there came a time when
the soul must make a journey far beyond the boundaries that it has known
before. Several hundred years after they were fist met and matched the girl
died suddenly of a common disease.
This so shattered her lover that he took his own life not long after burying
her and they waited until the circle would start again. As they came into
the world they went through their lives thinking that there was something
missing in their lives and that they were in some special way, different
from everyone else they had met before.
This is the story of what they did to find the truth.
The airport was crowded and stuffy from the heat of the day, and Cye could
not help but wonder if it would be worth the risk of missing his flight back
to Japan just to get a glass of water. As the lines started moving towards
the gate he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally he was going home.
For the past month he had been traveling a bit to meet some friends that he
had met over the internet and then visit family that lived in England. Now
he was headed back to Japan and was looking forward to seeing the guys
again. He had learned through several phone calls to them that they were
dealing with a particularly nasty repercussion of taking out Talpa recently,
but now it seemed that the warlords and Ronins had banded together to
stabilize the Dynasty and make it a slightly more productive place.
Mia had been given access to the great libraries of the Castle on her last
visit there and so she would be gone for days at a time researching the
armors and the original Armor that had lead to their creation. Cye had to
smile at that, as he knew that it usually took a lot to get her out of a
fact-finding mission, especially when it pertained to the Ronin armors.
As he boarded the plane he was bumped into from behind, as he turned to find
out who had bumped into him he noticed that a very pretty red headed girl
was mumbling a hasty apology in a thick Gaelic accent. He nodded that it
was ok and took his seat when he found it.
In truth everything was not fine, as something seemed to click over in his
mind after the girl ran into him. He had not felt something like it since
he found the Torrent Armor. Now he found himself wanting to get up and find
the girl again and actually talk to her. She seemed shy but there was
something in her manner that was guarded from the rest of the world and he
was about ready to give his right big toe to find out what that was.
Aideen Shehan Talomar was feeling home sick already and the plane had not
even left the ground yet. First she was late to the airport and then she
was nearly late for her flight because baggage did a seizure on her handbag.
Now she was tired from the run and the airport temperature did nothing to
help her mood when she had run smack into a guy standing inline to the
flight to Japan. Her own flight!
She however felt lucky that she had made the deans list for Foreign exchange
students and so after she completed her studies in the Japanese Language and
Culture she was given the ok to study in Japan for a year and a half.
Generally such student trips had to be funded mostly by the student and the
parents with finding a job in the other country to add to the list of things
to do to finance their way to living spaces.
Aideen was not of the most affluent families but she was lucky when one of
the university junior professors that spoke fluent English agreed to let her
board at her house for the time that she would be in the country. Then she
would also be able to get to the university she was enrolled in as well.
She was happy and sad and now to add to the list of things that she was.She
was now utterly confused. Having had her past read she knew of the link
that her soul held to another soul in the great wheel, and now the Boy she
ran into seemed to have an affinity for other people as he was easy going
and did not make much bother of the rudeness. However she had this strange
feeling that she and he were going to become better acquainted in the
future.
As the flight to Japan took off and reached the proper flight level the
seatbelt sign came off and people started to get up and retrieve things that
would be needed for the long flight. Most got pillows and blankets and
others settled in for the in-flight movie.
Aideen just pulled out a Manga that she had been enjoying and started
reading it. Almost two hours later and most of the way through the manga
even though she stumbled over some of the unfamiliar kanji, she felt a pair
of eyes just over her shoulder reading the manga as well.
As she turned around her green eyes met with a pair of blue-green eyes and a
quiet smile. She jumped in her seat as he chuckled at her and backed off as
her eyes flashed dangerously. "What the heck do you think you are doing??"
She rattled off forgetting that she had been thinking in Japanese so that
was the language she used.
The brown haired young man smiled and took the seat next to her then
answered. "I was reading the manga and noticing that you were having some
trouble with some of the Kanji."
She blushed as she remembered that she had a tendency to try to puzzle
things out verbally. "I am sorry if I disturbed you but I do need to try to
learn this as well as I can."
Cye nodded and smiled understandingly. "Foreign exchange student??" when
he received confirmation he smiled. "The language in itself is fairly
simple, the writing however can drive even the natives barmy." As they both
laughed over that reference that she had heard before he introduced himself.
"I'm Cye Mouri, I am just headed back home from holiday. Can't wait to see
my friends again."
"Well Cye, I am Aideen Shehan Talomar, and I am headed over there for a year
and a half study at one of the universities." She grinned back as she found
that she could not help but to like this young man. He did not seem that
old but some thing in his eyes told her that he was a lot older than he
looked.
"Really, Well Aideen, Since I am headed back to start my next semester at
the University maybe my friends took the time to try to catch up with me in
classes. I am going to Toyama University, How bout yourself??"
Since Cye was switching between Japanese and English she found herself
having a little trouble following him until she became more accustomed to
his manner of speaking. Cye on the other hand saw the looks of confusion he
was getting from Aideen and realized what he was doing and decided to stick
with Japanese. When he saw her face clear in understanding he knew that she
was not able to switch her thinking that fast, whereas he was constantly
thinking in both so he never realized it when he started halving his
languages.
"Toyama huh??" Aideen dug around in her carryon and as she pulled out her
schedule for the first semester her eyes got wide. Grinning she showed Cye
her schedule. As he grinned back he commented. Looks like we might see
each other in classes, or at least in the hallways."
The rest of the flight was spent amicably reading the Manga and Cye
instructing her on easier ways of figuring out the kanji that stumped her.
As the plane landed they grabbed their things and left the plane saying good
bye and wondering if they would ever see the other again.
