Eternity
If Tears Could Build A Stairway And Memories A Lane, I'd Walk Right Up To Heaven And Bring You Home Again.
He ran as fast as he could. He knew in his gut that something was wrong, for when he arrived, no one was fighting. As Shigure looked around the quiet, empty area, his ears picked up on a sound coming from the forest. As his eyes focused on the dark, he saw Gentatsu. He had never told anyone about how he felt, especially Gentatsu, but, his feelings for Gentatsu went far beyond simple friendship. To put it simply, he loved the boy. He had known him for a while and in that time, fallen in love with this certain member of the Izu clan. As he looked onto the scene before him, he was horrified at what he saw. Gentatsu had been fighting a red-haired swordsman and lost sight of his opponent. As Shigure looked up, he saw the swordsman and just knew, deep down, what was going to happen. He yelled for Gentatsu to get out of the way, but the shout never reached his ears. Time seemed to go in slow motion as he watched on helplessly as the samurai attacked Gentatsu. Blood went everywhere and the swordsman walked away. Shigure felt his heart ice over with dread abd fear at what he was going to find. He sat on the ground, wet with blood, and cradled Gentatsu in his arms. "Gentatsu...no..." he whispered hoarsley through his tears.
"S...S...Shigure?" came the weak and pained voice.
"I'm here Gentatsu."
"I...I'm...sorry..."
"No, what do you have to be sorry for?" he felt his tears falling at a swifter pace now.
"F...for...l...losing..." his voice was laced with guilt and intense pain.
"No! It wasn't your fault. Don't you ever say that!"
"S...Shigure..."
"Yes?"
"...I...I...lo...love...you..." with those final words, Gentatsu died in Shigure's arms, his body cold and limp.
"NO! GENTATSU!" Shigure started sobbingover his lost love. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. Ilove you too my dear Gentatsu." He placed a gentle kiss on the icy, lifeless lips of the one he loved so much.
17 years later
As he lay in a pool of his own blood, Shigure thought back to the one who had stolen his heart. He felt himself growing weaker. He looked up at the sky and, with one final effort, whispered, "Gentatsu...my love...I'm...coming..." with that, his remaining life left him and he went to join his lover in the afterlife, to be together, for all eternity.
