Slipping Away
"We're the same." Mukuro whispers to the golden fog, the streetlight flickering behind his kneeling form.
"You know that, Kyouya, the same..." his manic laughter fills the alley. When it finally settles down into a light chuckle, red and blue orbs gaze down.
"Oh, you don't mind me calling you that do you. No...you let that Cavallone call you the same so you should have no objections for me."
Water drips off a pipe, the only remnant of the days rain filled clouds.
"It's in everything you do, Kyouya, the sameness. All the empty threats and broken promises."
A small boy stares out from behind a wall and it is sad to say that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, but it was just that. The boy walks off tranced and forgets every thing that he is.
"Now where were we again? Oh yes... that. You can't kill them can you? Despite what you say, empty threats. In reality you've grown attached to them haven't you, Kyouya."
It's oddly quiet for a Saturday night.
"But, I have have to say, I'm the same. I've taken quite a liking to you, just as you have to that charming band of 'herbivores' as you call them. That's why I'll protect you. I won't let anything happen to you, Kyouya."
The ground is cold, you can't feel your legs.
"It'll be fun, won't it. Just the two of us."
Your heart is beating slowly, almost as if you are calm, but you are not.
"We really are so alike. Tell me, how many promises have you kept?"
Your brain is working faster than it ever has and your hearing has become more acute. Maybe that's why all you hear are-
"You couldn't do it could you, I was waiting. Waiting for you all that time. Waiting for you to come and save me. That's love isn't it?"
Lies lies lies.
"But look at you now. Today, it's you who is dirtying your precious Namimori."
Steadily, the ground is growing warmer, stickier.
"I had put so much faith in you, but..."
Your vision is blurring.
"You've failed, Kyouya."
Slipping away.
"I'm still alive."
The last thing you see is the blood red moon and it reminds you of him.
