The academy grounds had quieted after another day of intense battles, with students and instructors taking well-deserved rest before the next round of the tournament. Yet, the night held a certain enchantment, and the cool, gentle breeze stirred the leaves, carrying with it a soft, unexpected melody.
Kai and Seraphina had wandered out to the gardens, seeking a few moments of calm under the starlit sky. Together, they sat beneath a large oak tree, gazing at the silver crescent moon above. Kai held Seraphina close, his arm draped around her as they enjoyed the peace of the evening, both lost in the silence and in each other's warmth.
It was then that a voice drifted through the air, accompanied by a soft hum that sent a tingle down their spines. Seraphina's eyes widened as she recognized the voice—it was Kenzaki, the mysterious reincarnated warrior who had recently entered their lives and turned their expectations upside down.
The song was barely above a whisper, but its soft beauty resonated through the garden, clear and haunting in the night. Kenzaki's voice floated on the breeze, every word laced with a warmth and tenderness that captured both Kai and Seraphina's attention.
They moved quietly through the garden, following the voice. Kenzaki was standing in a clearing, his eyes closed as he sang, oblivious to his audience. His posture was relaxed, hands tucked casually into his coat pockets, yet his voice carried a depth of emotion that caught Kai and Seraphina off guard.
As the song rose and fell, Kenzaki's voice echoed:
" Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river, dried up
You came to rain a flood "

Kai felt a subtle shiver run down his spine at the purity of Kenzaki's voice. It was unlike anything he had expected from the fierce warrior. There was a softness, a vulnerability in his tone that hinted at a story untold, a past filled with longing and love lost. Seraphina squeezed Kai's hand gently, her own heart caught up in the magic of the moment.
Kenzaki continued, his voice unwavering:
" You said, "Drink from me, drink from me"
When I was so thirsty
Pour on a symphony
Now I just can't get enough
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Pour on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low
I-, oh I-, oh I-
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high (so high), so high (so high)
Oh I-, oh I-, oh I-
Now I'm feeling drunk and high
So high (so high), so high (so high)
(Woo)
(Ooh)

The words struck a chord with Kai, as if they held a hidden meaning that resonated with his own journey. This wasn't just a song—it felt like a confession, a glimpse into the soul of a person who had traveled worlds, carrying memories and emotions too powerful to keep locked away.
Seraphina felt her eyes moisten as the melody swept over her. She leaned closer to Kai, her heart both heavy and full. The song stirred a longing within her, an unspoken wish that in the midst of all the battles and uncertainties, she could hold onto the moments of peace and love she shared with Kai.
Kenzaki continued to sing, his voice soft yet powerful, his words gentle as a prayer:
" I-, oh I-, oh I-
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
So high, so high
I-, oh I-, oh I-
Now I'm feeling drunk and high
So high (so high), so high (so high)
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the (that we shoot, yeah)
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the
That we shoot across the sky
That we shoot across the "

Kai glanced at Seraphina, watching the way her face glowed under the moonlight. Her eyes were closed, a serene smile on her lips as she listened, her fingers still entwined with his. She looked like the very angel Kenzaki was singing about, a beacon of hope in Kai's life, someone who made him believe that love and beauty could exist even in the most chaotic of worlds.
Kenzaki's voice softened, a delicate edge to each note as he approached the last verse:
"From the stars above,
You're the one I love.
Angel sent from the skies,
In your arms, my soul lies."

As the last notes faded into the night, Kai and Seraphina found themselves wrapped in silence once more, but the echoes of Kenzaki's voice lingered in their minds. Slowly, Kenzaki opened his eyes, surprised to see the two of them standing nearby. For a moment, he looked almost embarrassed, scratching the back of his head as if he hadn't meant to be overheard.
"Oh… didn't know anyone was listening," Kenzaki said, his usual confident demeanor softened by the unexpected vulnerability in his voice. He gave a small chuckle, a hint of sheepishness in his eyes. "It's an old song… from my world. A memory, I suppose."
Seraphina smiled, stepping forward with an expression of pure admiration. "Kenzaki… that was beautiful," she said, her voice soft with genuine emotion. "I didn't know you could sing like that."
Kenzaki shrugged, his eyes shifting away as if he wasn't used to the attention. "It's just something I do to clear my mind. That song... it reminds me of someone important to me. Someone who meant a lot in another life."
Kai observed him thoughtfully, understanding now that the song was more than just a melody to Kenzaki—it was a piece of his past, a memory of love that still lingered in his heart despite the boundaries of time and worlds. Kai placed a hand on Kenzaki's shoulder, his gaze steady and sincere.
"You know," Kai said, "we're all carrying things from our past lives, burdens we can't always share. But having friends who can understand… that makes it easier."
Kenzaki's eyes softened, and he nodded, the walls he kept around himself falling just a little. "Thanks, Kai. I guess it does help to have people who understand."
The three of them shared a moment of quiet companionship, each feeling the weight of their own journeys yet comforted by the bond they were beginning to forge.

Later that Night
Kai and Seraphina returned to their rooms, their minds still occupied by the haunting beauty of Kenzaki's song. As they settled down, Kai pulled Seraphina close, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"That song… it made me think about us," Kai murmured. "About how lucky I am to have you here, in this world."
Seraphina's gaze softened as she reached up, cupping his face. "Kai, no matter what happens or how many lives we live, I'll always find you. You're my constant, my home."
Kai's heart swelled, and he held her closer, feeling the warmth of her embrace fill every corner of his being. They lay together under the gentle glow of the moonlight, content in the quiet understanding that no matter what challenges awaited, they would face them together.
As they drifted off to sleep, the echoes of Kenzaki's song remained, a reminder that even in a world filled with battles and uncertainty, there was beauty to be found. And for Kai and Seraphina, that beauty was each other—a love that would transcend time, space, and worlds.
