Ok guys…I just finished watching the anime…and reading Volume 11 of the manga. I don't know if there is another volume (I got it off the interwebs) and besides I'd need it to be translated into English…since I can't read or speak Japanese…
So ANYWAY this is just what I think is going to happen…so I decided to share it with you…Sorry if they seem out of character, I'm trying hard to get them right! Oh and sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes, I don't have a Beta~~!
Chapter One: Bottomless
~Soubi~
"Why did you butt in Soubi? Did you take pity on Nisei?" Seimei asked looking back at me from the corner of his eyes, "Do you feel sympathy for him? But didn't you hate him?"
Oh, yes, I hate him, I longed to say, I hate him for hurting Ritsuka. I hate him for making my love cry. "Not exactly…" I said emotionlessly, my eyes going to the other fighter's hunched form.
"Oh?" my former sacrifice said with an amused, patronizing quirk of the lips. It was the only slip in his emotionless mask that he had allowed all night. "Then what is it then?"
I looked away, unable to say what I really thought. I hate him for what he's done…but he shouldn't suffer like this. No one should suffer having to be your fighter.
Seimei smiled in self-satisfaction.
"I if hadn't seen him for myself…" Mikado hissed glaring at the cause of her pain from behind her fighter, "I wouldn't believe Ritsuka was your brother."
Immediately, Seimei's smile turned into a scowl. "What did you say?" he asked turning to look at the female sacrifice.
Hate burned so clearly in her eyes as she readied herself to take the pain for her fighter. "I have met your brother," Mikado said, "and what you've done to him makes me hate you even more!"
His fingers twitched, a sign of his contained anger. "I've done nothing-."
"Lair!" she snapped a cut appearing on her cheek as Tokin and Nisei began to fight again, "I've told him about what you've done, Seimei! You should've seen his face! He looked so lost and confused and, when I told him he looked like you, he had been so happy! Ritsuka counted on you and you failed him! You left him all alone, a little boy, and you took away" –Mikado pointed at me –"his only protection!"
Seimei had gotten colder and more emotionless as the girl continued to speak.
This isn't good, I thought, pity for this girl like lead in my stomach, not good at all. Or, perhaps, not good for me.
"You are a terrible elder brother," she said quietly, "We aren't just fighting because of what you did to me, not anymore, we're also fighting for the child you abandoned!"
Everything was silent except for the sounds of the spell battle. "Nisei," the male sacrifice said glancing at the other, "Finish. Them. Now."
I looked at the girl, barely older than Ritsuka. I recognized the same hardness, the same determination, which I had seen in Ritsuka's eyes. He and Mikado were children that acted older than their age.
They should've been allowed their childhood.
I hoped Moonless would win. And that I wouldn't get beaten. Ritsuka…my Ritsuka…I miss you. I'm sorry, I miss you, forgive me.
Ritsuka…
~Ritsuka~
"Youji, put down the game."
"No~ a little longer!"
Natsuo sighed, "Youji-."
"Please, Nat-chan, please!"
"Come on, Youji," I huffed from where I leaned against the wall, I was finally starting to get annoyed, "Let's just get this over with…"
"Ugh, you both are no fun!" the blue haired boy pouted as he turned off the game, "Do you guys have a stick up your asses or something?"
"We came here for a reason," Natsuo said pulling his sacrifice away from the computer by the ear, "Now let me investigate."
He yelped, startled, and went to stand beside me. "So…are you alright with Nat-chan and I doing this?" he asked wrapping his arms around my shoulders.
"I…I want Soubi back…" I admitted eyes going to my sock covered feet, I blushed, "If…If this'll help get him back…I-I'll do it."
"Yo, this file is locked," Natsuo said before Youji could respond, "It says that I need a password."
"…Try wisdom re-."
"Tried it already."
"Huh? Oh, um, 'Beloved'?"
"…No."
"'Nisei'…'Soubi'?"
"No and no."
"'Seven Moons'?"
"Nuh-uh."
"…'Ritsuka'," Youji suggested, face serious, "or 'Loveless'."
The red head's fingers flew across the keyboard and, soon, he was nodding. "'Ritsuka' worked…" he muttered, his face enthralled with whatever he was seeing on the screen, "It's a lot of pictures of you, again, this time with Seimei….Wanna see or…?"
"Yes," I said immediately, waling up and looking over Natsuo's shoulder. The pictures made me smile even as my heart dropped into my stomach. There were so many.
Seimei with my arms around his neck, surrounded by Christmas wrapping paper.
Me and Seimei covered in flour from when we tried baking.
On Seimei's birthday, me in his lap as he held up the computer games and books I got him.
On my birthday, me wearing the sweater he had bought me and taking a photo –using the new camera that he had also gotten me –of whoever was taking the photo. Probably Seimei. The next photo was of the same day, only Seimei was in it this time. He was wrapped in a blanket with my arms wrapped around him and holding his arms at his sides, our heads next to each other.
Me, curled beneath the heavy blankets on Seimei's bed and sleeping.
"You really are his fetish," Youji said drily, crossing his arms.
"Kinda creepy," Natsuo added, "Oh, hey, there're documents on here. Like journals. Why would he keep something so private on his computer?"
I blushed, uneasy. "He knew I'd never look at it…I-I value people's secrets…"
"That's stupid," the blue haired Zero mumbled.
"We can print them out and read them. Give you the highlights. That alright, Yo-chan?"
"Yeah it'd be interesting. I guess."
"Th-Thank you," I stammered overcome by gratitude as I blushed bright red and stupid, happy tears stung behind my eyes.
"Ritsuka, you're our friend~!" Youji purred, hugging me tightly around the neck, "Don't be silly, we'll obviously help you no matter how bothersome it is!"
I smiled, shyly, seeing Natsou look at us from the corner of his eye.
"This second one opens with 'Beloved'," the ginger said typing away, "It's all documents and paperwork…I don't understand any of this shit."
"Maybe we should show it to Mikado?" I suggested, trying not to remember the awful things she had told me. "She was the closest to Seimei."
After agreeing to visit Moonless and confirming that they'd read Seimei's "journal" or whatever, Natsuo and Youji left. I was tired and my energy was drained, once they were gone. I said a brief "good night" to Mother before struggling up the stairs.
So tiring…
I fell face first onto my bed, not bothering to change my clothes. Being alone, however, meant I was vulnerable to depressing thoughts.
Thoughts of how Seimei treated me and how other had been treated by him.
But, most of all, thoughts of Soubi. Soubi's smile, his laugh, the way he looked at me, his kisses, his "I love you"s, all of it plagued me. It was like they were festering in my mind. All I wanted was to be able to speak to him, to feel his hand on mine and his arms around me. The knowledge that he'll protect me tomorrow and the next day.
Alone, in my bedroom, I cried into my pillow.
Soubi…am I took weak? Too young? Is it because I'm not Seimei, that it's not my name on your neck? Why…why did you leave me? I don't want to be alone again!
~Soubi and Seimei~ (Soubi, Seimei, both)
Ritsuka raises me on a platform.
He makes me feel loved
Like I am worth something.
He gives me a reason to breathe.
He is a special treasure
The only one that is worthy.
Ritsuka is the oxygen I breathe
He is the food I eat
The water I drink.
I would die for him.
I would kill for him.
Ritsuka is my weakness.
His words piece my heart
Scar my skin.
He can turn a knife on me
And I wouldn't even see it
I'd be too entranced by his lips.
Ritsuka is someone I want to protect.
His innocence, his soul, is mine.
No one will take it.
His life, his heart, is in my hands.
No one will hurt him.
Ritsuka is mine and mine alone.
It is my duty
My purpose
To have him at my side.
To guide him
And protect him.
I love Aoyagi Ritsuka.
With him, we are bottomless.
Soooo…yeah…that was kinda short…anywho tell me what you think and if I should continue this
I mean, I want to continue it but I want you guys to tell me if this is good first!
Review please~!
