The Unfinished Song (rewritten)

[Amia]

in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Senya city, Rikku walked around, exploring his new home with a map of the attractions. soon he came upon a huge building and looked at where he was on his map. "Shah Hakemi..." he said softly as he read aloud. the hall of songs....the most famous stadium in all of Maihito. he smiled brightly and walked inside.
as he made it through the doors and past the concession, he gaped a the sight he saw. an enormous stadium with thousands of seats and a huge stage for performers to play upon, led to by long walkways in every direction.
slowly a smile came to his pretty red lips and he began walking towards the stage. today he had worn his usual clothes, a white button up shirt that was slightly big on him and dark jeans. his hair was tied back with his mother's white ribbon and he had only realized he'd forgotten to wear the make up that hid his red lips, pallor skin, and long black eyelashes when he had already left the school. he had worried about leaving himself looking so feminine, but it wasn't like anyone could ever tell he was a boy without being told and besides that, his long red bangs hid most of his face anyway.
he climbed up onto the stage and looked at the instruments there. there were drums, a guitar, a bass, a piano, and a microphone for a singer. he smiled and took a seat at the piano. no one seemed to be around, so it wouldn't hurt him to play for a little while. he took a small notebook from his backpack and opened it, looking at the songs within. he looked at some of the ones he had written himself, but he didn't feel like working on them right now....no, he wanted to work on only one of them. the one he had tried many times to work on, yet never been able to finish. one his mother had only just started writing at the end of her pregnancy with him, one she died before she could finish. it didn't even have a name, just two lines and part of a melody. he looked at it thoughtfully and began playing the song. he began singing what he had written into it, but it didn't seem right to him. when he wasn't pleased with it, he started over...and over, and over until 17 minutes had passed. he groaned and lay his head to rest upon the piano keys. he just couldn't seem to get this song right. 'why? why can't I finish it?' he wondered to himself in his mind. the truth of the matter was that this was supposed to be a love song, yet Rikku had no comprehention of romantic love. he had only been given and recieved platonic love so he could not truly write this song at this point in time.
softly he sighed as he slowly lifted his head from the piano. he needed to get his mind off his failure. he played with the piano keys a little bit, then began to remember a song his sister had taught him not that long ago. he vocalized along with the music, his amazing voice echoing throughout the stadium and capturing the attention of anyone who heard it. thus was the siren's call, an endless seeming voice one wished to hear for all eternity. he may be mostly male, but his singing voice was beautiful and feminine, womanly would be a good word for it. it betrayed both his sex and his age and made one expect to find a beautiful woman in her twenties singing rather than an androgynous 13 year old. soon his lips parted and he let the song forth.

"alone - and there's no tomorrow,
I should have known,
all the pain and sorrow.
I could only see your mind,
desperate measures for desperate times.

I can't stand the pain,
assume your love,
I still love you.
the fact still remains,
time will tell,
I still love you.

with peace - at the same time crying,
there's grace and solitude,
but there's no use in dying.
things between us - you can't hide,
a stranger's hand weighs upon your mind.

I can't stand the pain,
assume your love,
I still love you.
the fact still remains,
time will tell,
I still love you.

you can't see him,
but he's there - inside.
there's two voices,
you will decide - in time.
in time.

I can't stand the pain,
assume your love,
I still love you.
the fact still remains,
time will tell,
I still love you.

I can't stand the pain,
assume your love,
I still love you.
the fact still remains,
time will tell,
I still love you."

as a siren his voice reached everywhere in the enormous building, only becoming soft when heard outside of the stadium. as the song came towards it's end, he vocalized with it once more, not knowing if anyone had come to hear him sing as he'd closed his eyes while he sang. as always, he had lost himself in the music and it would take a touch or a voice to bring him back to reality.

(this is the song but i must say Rikku sounds more like Younha than he does like the singer of this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE9yAR-gZRw)

A song make him wonder who sing so he went in search of a beautiful voice. Not know where it was but listen and it told him which way to turn. Heading that way but no, no if he go right way at all. Wolves ear prick up, he no in human form but wolf form. Large steal around neck that show he break way from being tied up. Had got caught but manage get free, other help but he no ask who help he just run. Brothers at school the do well but they no no that he nearly get kill when he go hunt a month ago. Then he stopped as he came across the one that sing, they look real good. Slowly he walk to them and sit down a way away as he listen. The song go on and he soon lay down with head on his paws, he just listen now as he curl his tail about his body. They real good to look at, beautiful boy, red hair, eyes look green, best way to look. When the song came to an end he just lay there a little longer till he got up. Walk over to the male and rubbing against them, not change into human form, not yet at least.

Rikku didn't notice the presence of another in the stadium, all he heard and felt was the music he was playing. when the song ended, he just let his fingers move lazily over the keys of the piano, playing some peaceful, nameless tune.
suddenly he felt something brush against his side and he flinched slightly, at first thinking someone had come up to him without him noticing, but when he looked, his eyes were greeted with the sight of a large wolf. stared for a moment, but then he smiled warmly. animals were always friendly with him, so although the sight of a wolf was strange, these actions were not at all strange to him.
he smiled warmly, holding his hand out so that the wolf could smell him before petting his head gently. "my goodness, what on earth is such a beautiful creature doing in the heart of the mechanical city?" he mused to himself out loud.
he got up from where he sat on the piano bench and walked around to kneel in front of the wolf. he looked with curiousity and worry at the metal about his neck. "did someone catch you? well at least you've escaped..." he said. one hand moved up to pet his head once more and the other delicately rested upon his chest for a moment before he began to rub the area beneath the metal.
"such a pretty wolf you are....I'm lucky to have made such a lovely new friend." he said with that sweet and gentle smile on his face. he loved all animals but especially wolves. the first few years of his life, he had spent with with his sister and wolves. a mother wolf had allowed him to nurse alongside her pups until his sister could collect things a baby actually could eat. when he got a little older, he would play with the pups the female wolf had every year like he was one of the litter while his sister Naomi hunted, foraged, and fished for their food and brought it back to the pack. the lupine creatures were like family to him, all of them and he enjoyed being in their company very much.
he sighed and smiled once more at the wolf, a soft, gentle sort of chuckle escaped him. his voice when he was not singing sounded much younger than his singing voice, more like a teenaged girl than an adult woman like his singing voice, though it was still lovely. it was soft and sweet, kind and gentle, caressing each word he said. his voice was pleasing to hear whether he was singing or just simply speaking.

Hajime listen to what young boy say but he not respond to much, not yet. Letting the quesion come and go as he started to receive a gentle petting from young boy. It nice, the touch was delicate(?) and real kind. Yes, he was caught but he got way so all was good as far as he can see. May be young boy not be bad to spend a lot time around may be he can show him other form to. Licking the males cheek when he lean up and stand slightly on hind legs for a second. This male had nice smell, he really like the scent and want remember it. This boy look real nice and real kind, may be he befriend(?) this male. Then a chuckle escape the young boy and he cock his head to the side and listen. Why this boy chuckle? Why he do thisfor no real reason? Wagging tail he walked around the red head, look him over and decide he look real good, he want get know this boy better. Rubbing against the boys leg and letting his tail curl about males waist. Open mouth to let human words out, it strange he no able to move jaw it different speak like this. "What name? I'm Hajime" was all he say at time he no really want scare the boy away and risk losing him. Little things to start and then may be go farther when boy not afraid of him.
