Time's Chain

"Miffy?" Levin held onto Miffy as he went through time, this time
taking longer than the other times. He started to worry, then
suddenly, landed on a cold steel floor. He rubbed his side and
stayed close to Miffy. "This isn't Kyo's time, is it Miffy?"

Miffy growled and a door opened from a pod-like structure and steam
came out.

Levin gasped and stared as a tall man with firey red hair walked out,
clad in only a steel covering (there). His jaw dropped open and he
didn't breathe, afraid of catching the man's attention, but his
efforts were in vain for the man turned to face him and starred at
him. "Who are you?" He said in a strange (think Nobotoshi Hayashi
ie- Tasuki) voice.

Levin shook. "L-Levin... Ano... where am I?"

The man shrugged. "I don't know... I was working on a movie and I
was taken here... I think it's just some wierd space thing...
figures... I go to work on a movie about the future and I get shipped
there..."

"Movie?"

He nodded and offered a hand to Levin. "I'm from the 1980s, but this
looks like the set from the movie I was working on, and the only
clothes I have with me are the ones from the scene I was working on
at the time."

"Metal underwear?" Levin blinked.

"Yeah. So, where you from?"

"1901..."

"Damn! That means you don't know who I am..." he ran a hand through
his hair. "I'm Sting." (LOL. I thought Sting made the perfect
Tasuki clone in DUNE)

"Stingu?" Levin shrugged. "Well, this is Miffy." He motioned to
Miffy and Miffy growled.

Sting pouted. "Animals never like me..."

Levin sighed. "Well, I'll be gone soon. I _have_ to be gone. I
need to get to Kyo."

"Kyo?"

"My koibito."

"Koi whato?" Sting blinked.

"My boyfriend."

Sting slowly nodded. "Okay... and just how do you think you'll do
that? I've been stuck here for months!"

"Is this your first time time traveling?" Sting nodded. "Well, then
you don't have the expirience I do." Levin shut his eyes and
concentrated. //I have to get back... I have to get back to Kyo...//

Sugizo brushed hair out of Ryu's face, looking into the now-opening
eyes with his own eyes burning. "Ryu..."

Ryu blinked, confused. "Where?"

"At some kind people's house." Ino smiled.

Ryu bit his lip. //Who are these people?//

"Ryu... are you alright?" Sugizo asked.

"Are you... my brother?" Ryu asked.

Sugizo blinked, confused. "Nani?" He whispered.

Ryu bit his lip. "You seem to care for me... are you my brother?"

Ino gasped. "Otou-san... he doesn't know who we are!"

J held onto Ino from behind. "He must've lost his memory in the
fall..."

Sugizo shook his head. "No... he has to know..." he held onto Ryu's
shoulders. "Ryu... you remember me, right? It's me, Sugizo... and
that's Ino and J. Ryu..." a tear slipped from his eye and fell onto
Ryu's cheek.

Ryu gasped. "What... what does that mean? I don't remember
anything..." (ooo... more memory loss fics!)

Sugizo held onto Ryu's hand. "Ryu... Ryu... please, tell me you
remember me..." He leaned over Ryu. "Please... remember all those
nights? Remember who you are... remember kisses, like this?" Sugizo
brought his lips down to Ryu's and kissed him softly, but as he
pulled back, Ryu looked no more like he recognized him.

"I'm sorry..."

Toshiya laid in bed, listening to his CD Player as he waited for
Kaoru to come back from talking with Gackt about rearranging to have
Die and Shinya in one room (since Shinya wanted to stay in the
mansion). He stared at the wall, remembering what Die told him.

//You shouldn't be in this time, it's not right... You shouldn't be
in a time that isn't your own. Just as Levin shouldn't be.//

Toshiya curled up against the pillow, going into a fetal posistion
and trying not to cry.

//Kaoru needs to stay here... you can't have him... it's not
right...//

Toshiya bit his lip. //I don't care if it's not right...// Tears
found their way out. //Love should rule over all... everything
that's happened is like a shoujo manga and in shoujo mangas love
rules over all!// Toshiya felt Kaoru's fingers brush his hair away
from his face and look at him in concern. Toshiya took off his head
phones and gazed at Kaoru. "Kaoru... do you love me?"

Kaoru nodded. "Hai."

"How much?" Toshiya sniffed.

Kaoru wrapped his arms around Toshiya and rested his head on the
other's body. "More than I can say, Toshiya."

Toshiya swallowed, trying to keep more tears from coming. "What if
my being in this time hurts the future? Would you forgive me if I
stayed?"

Kaoru nodded. "There is nothing that you can do that can possibly be
bad."

Toshiya bit his lip. "What if I went back to my own time? Die is
right... I'm not supposed to be here..."

Tears formed at Kaoru's eyes and he squeezed them shut. "I... I'd
love you... no matter what..."

Toshiya let the tears fall freely as he cried. //I love you too...
but... I have to do the right thing, don't I?//
