I honestly never imaged I would ever write something this short. I had written this the day I got the 4th volume as an idea to return and build off of. But when I found it yesterday I decided I really like it is. So here you go. Although it is nothing fancy I hope someone likes it.


Title: Following Down

Fandom: Yorozuya Toukaidou Honpo

For the first time I was honestly happy that Kaori couldn't feel pain. As he lay there, practically pooled in blood, he looked at me with a face of complete relief and happiness. His mind didn't appear to be blank, simply calm. An unnerving, yet pacifying, calm.

He smiled at that moment and a tear fell down my cheek. This couldn't be happening. We never should have taken this case.

Kaori was always so focused on saving me that he forgot to save himself.

There on the ground I felt myself teeter on the edge. As Kaori's eyes closed, I saw him fall.

Without hesitation, I took a step and followed.


Obviously from Shima's POV. I appreciate you taking the time to read this story and would love to hear your thoughts in a review. Thank you.
