Fanfiction poetry: X - Not Decided Yet
Jul. 28th, 2004 03:12 amArchive: FF.net, MYSTCommunity, and in Italian at Neverland
Disclaimer: I don't own anything...it all belongs to CLAMP, darnit. No, wait...Kamui is mine!!....yeah, right...suuuure...
A/N: A word of explanation--this is based on the TV series of X, or the manga, not the movie. If you've seen the movie, you won't get most of this, because they cut so much out of the damn plot. *grrrrrr*
Kamui: Calm down, Kagi. It wasn't that bad.
Kagi: It was, too! It was disgusting....they took that beautiful CLAMP story and bludgeoned it to death. It wasn't supposed to end like that...there wasn't any point to it. They missed the whole point!! And kawaii Subaru-kun was barely in it...and they messed up poor Kotori, who was messed up enough already...and...and...*cries* It was bad!
Kamui: Uh, right. Enough, you're going to scare everyone. Minna, if you are confused, you need to go out and download...er, buy the DVDs, or the manga, so you will have really seen X. According to Kagi at least, the movie doesn't count.
Kagi: It doesn't!! *sniff* At least it still had pretty artwork....kirei deshou....but the series art was just as good so that's no excuse. Anyway, this is from Kotori's POV, during episode 12 after she is killed by Fuuma, the Dark Kamui. She gives Kakyou her last message to Kamui and Fuuma in her dream. This is my take on what she would have said to Kamui.
Kamui: You might want to point out that it's highly spoilerish. Although when they've gotten this far they probably already know that...
Kagi: I'm sure they do...^^;

More explanation, and somewhat SPOILERS for non-fans, and those who have only seen the movie (yes, you all fall into the same category, alright, Moonraven? ^_~)
This is fanfic for the anime X, so in order to understand it you have to know a bit about the show. By this I mean the series, not the movie. -__-
If you've seen the movie, you still won't get most of it, because they cut so much out of the plot. >_< If you don't care, just skip this part.
Anyway, X is about the end of the world. It's complicated, but I will explain as briefly as possible (X has so many layers...). I'm trying not to give too many spoilers, in case any of you ever actually watch it. ^^ Briefly then: Seven angels, which make up the Dragon of Earth, are going to destroy the Earth with earthquakes and wipe out the human race. Seven seals, who are the Dragons of Heaven, are fighting them to save the Earth, and humanity.
The main characters (more or less) are Kamui and Fuuma, who were childhood friends, but their destiny is to be on opposite sides of the war. Kamui has to choose the side he fights for, to either protect the Earth or destroy it. Fuuma is his twin star, his mirror, destined to be his opposite--whichever side Kamui chooses, Fuuma then becomes the "Kamui" for the other side. Kotori is Fuuma's sister, and she loves Kamui. Her destiny is to die at the hand of whichever one of them becomes the Dragon of Earth. As it turns out, this is her brother--Kamui chooses to become the Dragon of Heaven, because he wants to protect Kotori and Fuuma (ironic, ne?).
Kotori dies leaving a last message for both of them: "Tell them I love them, and that...the future...is not yet decided." Kotori also has the dreaming gift, the ability to become a dreamgazer, though she never had the chance. Unlike the other dreamgazers she believes the future vision they have seen can be changed--but everyone agrees that if so, only Kamui can change it. There is also stuff about the power of your true Wish, that is, the deepest desire of your heart, which I won't explain because it is highly spoilerish, but it's Kamui's Wish that will decide the fate of the Earth. So anyway, I was writing this from Kotori's point of view, as her message to Kamui. ^^; Er, comments and criticism welcome.

Not Decided Yet (Kotori's Dream)
A destiny foreordained
Unchangeable, the future
A fate you can but follow to
inevitable conclusion.
Twin stars, your destiny shall be
each to fight the other,
no sparing you for friendship's sake,
no way to turn from it.
I walk the dreams, I have seen the end;
not truly a dreamgazer yet,
Still what I have seen now lies before me
I can but watch a tragedy.
Brother fighting against friend,
dear against beloved--
the ones I love now opposites,
the final outcome certain.
This cannot be changed you say
but I believe it can-- I see
A future not decided yet
A fate that can be altered.
The End of the World, the Promised Day,
Seven seals and seven angels
Now only you must make the choice:
to save the Earth, or change it.
Dragon of heaven, dragon of earth:
only you can choose.
Only you can change your fate,
I believe in you.
Though I am gone, my memory
will live on within your heart,
With you still while there is yet
one to remember me.
You can decide your fate, your future--
I have faith in you.
What you wish for, what you hope,
still remains to you.
Brother lost to cruel fate,
to the side you have not chosen--
Your true wish he can give to you;
only you can save him.
Your wish, that which you hope for--
your memory in his heart
will save the Earth; true victory
you'll find only in defeat.
A destiny not certain yet,
A fate that can be changed;
Believe in it--I know...the future...
Is not decided yet...
