Summary:
Sometimes it's difficult to understand that you aren't invincible.
He thought he was invincible, a god. I suppose I'm not one to talk, but I, at least, can blame it on his influence. After all, he did teach me everything I know.
Narcissism included.
I don't know where I would be if he hadn't taken an interest in me, a young youkai with very few natural abilities other than an abnormal amount of youki. I certainly would never have believed I could make it to the semi-finals of the Ankoku Bujutsukai. No, the belief that we could achieve anything was his alone; but he taught me to believe.
I remember, weeks before the tournament, the last time we were truly alone. My head was thrown back into the pillows and my hand were tangled in his spiky hair, his body covering mine almost completely. He paused after running a string of kisses down my exposed throat and across my collar bone. In a husky voice he whispered what I believe was the first syllable of my name; though because of the haze my mind was in at that moment he could have been calling me the ugliest, most stupid person in the entire Makai and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
I somehow managed to clear my mind enough to hear his next works, spoken as softly as the last, just before he captured my lips in a kiss that left no room for argument.
"Nothing is going to stand in our way. No one can beat us." And I believed him, I always believed him.
But it's over now, and it turns that that we weren't invincible.
