Disclaimer-- Chichiri isn't mine...(even though I want him to be ^_^)
Author's Notes-- This takes place after the OAV...Chichiri has been traveling around, feeling extremely lonely. Suicide. Angst. It's all sad, folks!

Hikou...
Kouran...
Why did you all leave me?
What did I do to deserve this?
***
Chichiri stood over his reflection of the lake. He could see that even his mask could not hide his depression. His eagerness to give up.
"Why? Why should I stay? I've done my duties already...I don't have to do anything anymore?"
Small droplets of tears wrinkled the lake's perfect surface.
"I want...I want to go now...I want to see them again. Hikou. Kouran. How are you guys up there?"
Chichiri tried to smile through his tears.
"No one needs me anymore, right? I can go now?"
Slowly, Chichiri picked up a silver dagger from his pack. It glittered against the sun's rays.
"Heh...Wait a little longer you guys...I'll be there soon"
Flashes of memories suddenly played in Chichiri's mind. It was about Miaka, about the miko of Suzaku, about the seishi of Suzaku...about everyone who's helped him
"They're not here anymore...I shouldn't care about them"
He looked at the dagger's silver blade. It reflected Chichiri with a faint smile. Then, Chichiri aimed the shining dagger at his wrists.
"After all these years...after what I've been through...I'm still too weak"
Chichiri suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see a certain red-headed friend who's just woken up.
"You're not thinking of something horrible, are ya?" Tasuki grinned.
"Tasuki...please leave me alone" Chichiri looked down with shame.
"Leave ya alone? I have to make sure you catch enough fish for both of us, so I can't leave ya alone!" Tasuki patted Chichiri's shoulder.
"Tasuki..." Chichiri smiled and put the dagger back in his pack.
"Not today, I guess...but just wait Kouran...I'll be there with both of you soon enough" Chichiri thought to himself. "I guess someone else needs me...just wait"
The End
