Song: Circle In The Sand

By: Belinda Carlisle

Quietly Shin walked down the path towards the beach. There was a happy smile on his face, and he was swinging a small picnic basket in one hand, over his shoulder was a towel. Which went with his cloth, that just happened to be nothing other then a pair of dark blue swimming trousers, that had little gray dolphins on them. He'd wanted to find another pair, feeling a bit stupid wearing the dolphin ones. Especial after the reaction he'd got from the rest of the guys the other time he'd worm them.

But then again he wasn't going to see just any of the guys now, and he wasn't sure he still believe that this was actually happening. No it had to all be a dream, just one long really really really nice dream. Other then the fact that he wasn't sure if he was going crazy or not. He had never let himself believe that this might happen, that it was possible. Oh sure he'd had his own day dreams, and spent enough time fantazing, just like everyone else.

Shaking his head Shin quickly pushed shuch thoughts from his mind, as the sea finally came into view just down the path. He could hear the waves beating against the shore and it sent shivers through his body. A great big grin spread across his face. For the moment everything else was forgotten and he ran, the rest of the way down the path. Letting the sea breeze caress his body, as if it were the gental figner tips of a lover playing across his soft skin, and kissing his slightly parted lips.

Sundown all around Walking thru the summer's end Waves crash baby, don't look back I won't walk away again

Above the leathal young man who ran down the beach his basket and his towel forgotten on the sand behind him up the beach, the sun was slowly setting. She shed her radiant beauty over the sea and the auborn haird man, setting everything ablaze with her glamor. With her the seas and the sands sang in exuberance for the simple join of being, just as Shin did, having been swet up in their glory.

Slowly in quick succession the waves rise and fall, racing up the beach to wash up over Shin's toes as he stood ankle deep in the clean salt water. The taste of the sea filled his being and it's beauty misted his eyes, her song raced through his being like wild fire, till ever fiber of his body pulsated with it's magnificent mysteries. Then slowly he turned, not wanting to walk away from the sea.

Oh, baby, anywhere you go, We are bound together I begin, baby, where you end Some things are forever !

Walking back up the beach, Shin, yawned slightly trying to ingore the intoxication sound of the ocean behind him. Picking up his basket he turned his thoughts to other things. Well actual more along the lines of one other thing. That other thing being the person he was going to meet. Seiji.

His breath caught slightly in his throat, and he stopped in the sand where he stood. For a moment letting his eyes slide shut he remembered the dream that he'd had the night before. Remembered the vivid details that had populated it's expanse of time, and how real it had felt even after he'd woken up. But it had started to fade a few hours after that, the only thing that remained fast in his mind were the soft lips.

Seiji's lips, brushing against his ear, whispering his soft words there. Leaving them for Shin to hide away in his heart to remember always, and he knew he would. He would remember that dream, even if it was a dream it had felt like so much more then that. So he would remember it as if it had been real, he would!

Seiji had leand close and he had whispered in to his ear, the swordsmands slender body pressing against his. His strong arms keeping him from fallowing over. He'd said. "Hey Shin, anywhere you go. I will go. We are boud together."

Shin smiled as his reply came back unbidden to his lips and he whispered it to the wind this time. "Seiji-kun where I end you begin, somethings are forever."

But then a chill raced through his body, and it wasn't just the slight coolness that permiated the wind flying off the sea. It was something just a little more then that. As the words that Seiji had said in reponse to that echoed. "Perhapse, love but come. Wrap your arms around me, I want to show you a heaven on earth."

I never knew you were a poet, Seiji." He'd said in response, looking foward to the rest of the dream. Only there had been no more of the dream for it had been right then that he'd woken up. Finding himself back in his bed, in his own room, alone.

Circle in the sand 'Round and 'round Never ending love is what we've found And you complete the heart of me Our love is all we need Circle in the sand

Shaking off the last cob webs of the dream that still crept through his mind, Shin put on a smile. Picking his feet up off the sand he began to run again. The fresh sea air giving him wings upon which he could fly, diving and dipping as light as any of the sea gulls who were just now drifting off to find their nests, darkness nipping at their wing feathers.

/Round, and Round, and Round./ He laughed from sheer exhileration as the head land where he and Seiji had said to meet came into view. Shin tossed his auborn curls out of his face, pausing for a minute to look out at the sea letting the wind sweep them back for him. /Never ending love is what we've found./ He breathed, remembering the movie he'd watched earlier that day, and the day dream that had eventual come out of it. /Never ending love. Seiji! You complete the heart of me./ Turning back towards the head land, Shin began to run again. "Our Love is all we will ever need!" He whispered to the wind.

On the head land much later he can now see the figuer standing tall and proud, waiting for him. His heart leaps in his chest as he imagines the features that are just a bit still to small to make out clearly. Leaping foward energy surging through his being, he never sees the figure turn to watch him with a hint of a smile in those violet eyes. A gental sea breeze siwfting through the soft golen hair like the sand that flies beneith Shin's feet.

A few minutes later, the auborn haired man set the basket down, his tallow falling on top of it. Turning in a more subdued mannor having spent some of his energy on the race to the head land. He blushed as he felt Seiji's eyes on him, looking up he met the violet gaze. Running a hand through his auborn hair self counsiously, Shin blushed.

There was a soft chuckle from Seiji as the blond, stepped foward his own bare feet making no sound in the soft emerald green grass. A little half smile, flicked across his face, and his eyes glimmered almost a deep purple in the setting of the sun.

As the blond wrapped his arms around the other boys slight frame, his subtle fingers slowly moving up and down his spine. Shin lay his head upon Seiji's chest. The two making a picture perfect setting shilohetted against the dying sun as it slide into the gapping maw of the ocean.

Cold wind, tide move in Shiver in the salty air Day breaks, my heart aches I will wait for you right here.

Slowly Shin sat up, rubbing his eyes with sand stained palms. Looking around in bewilderment, he blinked twice shivering in the chilly morning air. Behind him the sun was just starting to come up over the line of trees. "But..." Shin started to say, fighting a wave of something that washed over him.

He wasn't sure what to think as he looked down, even more bewildered when he saw two places in the sand. Making it seem as if there had indeed been two people laying side by side sometime in the night. He blinked turning away, Shin didn't know what to think. "Was it all a dream?" He asked softly, feeling the first rays of the sun begin to warm his skin, giving the whole place a tinge of wonderful golden light.

Shin felt his heart beating faster, as he turned around and around, but all he could hear was the crashing of the tide as it swept closer with every breath. It seemed to fill is whole being taking him higher and higher as if he was flying straight out of his body into another dimension and yet still anchored to this earth somehow.

Then like the waves he came crashing back to earth. Shin found himself staring at the sand beneith him. /It was just another dream./ He whispered as memories of coming out the afternoon before to find a quiet place where he could finish the lovely day dream that Touma had so rudely awakened him from before.

"I must have fallen asleep." He thought saddly. Standing up he turned out to the ocean for a moment, trying not to wornder about the two places in the sand. "I will wait for you right here." He whispered. "I will wait, for some things are forever. Someday Seiji.. Someday I'll tell you."

Oh, baby when you look for me Can you see forever ? I begin baby, where you end We belong together

His towel drapped over slightly sun burned shoulders, Shin made his way back up the beach towards the house a little ways through the forest. Where they were staying for the rest of the summer. He paused at the head of the trail as his blue green eyes caught the movement of someone coming down the path towards him through the trees.

/I wonder who that might be./ He thought to himself stiffling a yawn. Then suddenly he was wide awake as he realized that it was Seiji coming towards him. Shin wasn't quite sure how he knew this he just knew it, maybe it was something in the way the figure moved or perhapse it was something else, he wasn't quite sure.

Once again the words came ringing back in his mind. "Can you see forever Seiji?" he whispered not realizing he was saying it out loud. "Baby where I end, you begin, We belong together." Turning quickly, Shin began to move back down the beach searching for a place to hide, hoping that the blond hadn't seen him yet.

But it was too late. Shin scrambled around the nearest edge of the beach, when he saw Seiji jump lightly down from the end of the path. The blond stopped there as if looking around for something, then he called out in that almost mezmorizing voise of his. "Shin? Is that you? I know I saw someone."

With a half sigh Shin stepped out from where he had been hiding. "Good morning Seiji." He said quietly.

"There you are." He thought he saw a look of almost relief flash across the blonds features. "You never came back last night." It wasn't a question it was more of a statement and Shin shook his head.

"I um sorta fell asleep on the beach." He said finally blushing as the dream came back quite vividely to his mind.

Seiji nodded. "We were.... I was looking for you."

"You were?" Shin blurted out slightly incredulously in surprise. He blushed even more. "Why were you looking for me?"

"We were worried about you." Seiji said meeting Shin's gaze frankly. "Not like you to loose your head out here and not come back. Something Touma or I would do." He grinned slightly. "Have any interesting dreams?"

"Dreams?" Shin blinked.

"Yeah... Did you dream?"

"Well umm...."

"You did." Seiji was grinning in a most un Seiji like fasion now.

"I suppose I did." Shin shrugged. "I don't really remember now it's all fadding perty fast."

"Anything interesting?"

"Oh you know Mirmaids, Dolphins... Stuff like that."

Seiji nodded as if that was a perfectly reasonable explination coming from the young man before him. He shrugged and then turned with a yawn. "Well glad you didn't get lost or something." With that he headed back up the path pausing before the first tree. "Touma and Shu'll have breakfast done soon if your hungry."

"Ok." Shin said blinking. He watched Seiji diseaper not sure what the hell to think after that encounter. He finally shook it off, and whispered under his breath. "Seiji you and I we belong together... Perhapse you see it to.." There had been so many different things hidden inside the words that the blond had spoken. Shin wasn't sure if he picked up the right impressions or not. /Could it really be?/ He asked himself quietly.

Circle in the sand 'Round and 'round Rising of the moon as the sun goes down And you complete the heart of me Our love is all we need Circle in the sand Circle in the sand

Bending down Shin slowly traced a circle in the sound, it wasn't perfect but it was perty close for a rough free for all. Standing back he looked at it for a moment, and glanced back up. Perhapse he would come back the next night, and see if he dreamed again. /Our love is all we need./

Slowly he whipped the cirlce away, remembering the two places in the sand. For a moment Shin's brows furrowed, and then he put that to out of his mind. Turning Shin set off back towards the house, and he didn't look back. Perhapse if he had he might have been even more mystified by what he saw. For as as he diseapered into the trees, an invisble hand re-drew the circle that he had whiped out.

"Shin. You complete the heart of me." Another voice whispered softly to the wind.

Baby can you hear me ? Can you hear me calling ?
