Remember
Gackt stood in front of the grave deep in prayer. He looked up and shivered, the cold wind biting through his leather jacket. "18 years, Kami. 18 years. It seems another lifetime ago, yet just like yesterday. I never thought I'd have to wait so long to be with you again." He shivered again as a cold breeze tickled the back of his neck, and he flipped up the collar of his coat.
"What are you talking about? I'm always with you, whether you notice or not. And anymore it's mostly "not"." Kami's long hair, tied back with a purple ribbon, swirled about him in the wind.
Gackt closed his eyes and focused on his surroundings. Kami stood beside him, smiling; long hair wrapping around him like dark silk. Gackt smiled, "You let your hair grow again."
"Well, I don't really have any reason not to anymore, so... But it's nice of you to notice. Finally."
Gackt's eyes fell to the ground, and he smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, I guess I have been a little pre-occupied lately."
Kami just laughed. "Yeah, just a "little"." He brushed Gackt's cheek with his fingers. "But don't apologize. I understand. Life goes on, doesn't it. And you do remember; not only me, but my family, too. And they love you even more after all this time. Thank you for that."
Gackt shivered again.
Kami put a cool arm around his shoulders; his hair swirled about them, sheltering the singer. "Come on," he said, walking Gackt back to his car. "Thank you for remembering and coming all this way,"he whispered softly. He leaned up and kissed the singer's cheek. Then he laughed and said with a stern frown, "And next time remember to wear your winter coat. You'll catch your death of cold. And that can't happen for a long, long time.”
