How can I tell her how much she means to me? I tried once, but she only pushed me away. Doesn’t she believe me? Why not? She’s the only one who means anything to me...ever since Aniki.
Aniki... You were so gentle, so kind. Why couldn’t they see it? The Suzaku shichiseishi, they killed you. I’ll avenge you someday, I swear it. When we summon Seiryuu...then they’ll pay.
We’ll win. I know that. The Suzaku shichiseishi are weak, and so is the Suzaku no miko. She cries too easily. Yui-sama never cries. Aniki said it was alright to cry, that it would help me. But where did crying get me when he died? No where, and I cried enough to heal a thousand wounds. It didn’t bring him back, and it didn’t make me forget him.
Maybe if she’d been there every time, but she was only there once. She held me and told me to cry. She was probably disgusted with me, but she was kind to me. The only one besides Aniki who was ever kind to me. I love her, but she loves no one.
No one but Tamahome. The Suzaku shichiseishi steals everything I love. Doesn’t he see how beautiful she is? How can he reject her? Someday, he’ll pay for that, too.
Why does she love him, anyway? Can’t she see that I love her more than he ever could? I love her more than anyone. I’ll keep telling her that for as long as it takes for her to believe me. I want her to love me, too. But, even if she never does, I’ll keep on protecting her.
Do you understand that, Yui-sama? I’ll always protect you, the way I couldn’t protect Aniki. I’ll never let something like that happen again, never. I’ll always protect you, and I’ll always love you.
