"Hah, I thought everyone would be more panicked by now" Fushimi Saruhiko twitched as Totsuka Tatara once again took his eyes off the road to look at the passing scenery, and comment on what he saw.
"Oh god why did we let him drive" came from the back seat as Totsuka almost swerved into an incoming car, again. In the back Kusuhara Takeru was contemplating his life choices and why he agreed to hop in the car with these two maniacs, not to mention the spirit that was sitting next to him and giving directions, with a perfectly blank face. Fushimi was too fast and conspicuous, so Totsuka-san offered to drive. It was then worked out by his two passengers why Kusanagi Izumo drove him everywhere.
Saruhiko sighed, it was one complication after another, from supposedly dead people trying to kill them, other dead people assisting them, though as spirits who are possessing keychains, to being stuck in a car with two idiots. Leaning back to look at the roof of the car, Saruhiko wondered not for the first time what would have happened if his dear Misaki hadn't been killed, if he had been still alive and well, what would he have to say about this situation. Shaking his head Saruhiko went back to watching the scenery go passed the window.
-this is a scene break-
"Ahh. Stop we are here" the spirit called. Totsuka moved to slam on the breaks. "PULL OVER FIRST!" Kusuhara shrieked from the back "oh right, sorry I forgot. my bad" Saruhiko in the passenger seat clicked his tongue as Totsuka pulled over to the side walk.
Hopping out the car Saruhiko ignored Kusuhara as he repeatedly kissed the pavement and thanked Kami for letting him live, while looking around, it wouldn't do to get captured so close to their objective.
"So which way" Totsuka asked there guide, a pretty looking girl with long green hair, Amber eyes and a bored expression on her face. Turning she pointed at an abandoned apartment complex. "The person I was told to escort you to, he's on the top floor" she glanced back at them "I've met him before so I'll go in first, you follow" and with a swish of her hair she turned and walked into the building. The three guys looked at each other before turning and walking into the building after her.
Reaching the top floor they stared as there guide knocked on the door
"knock knock" she said
"Who's there" a muffled voice stated from behind the door, Saruhiko noted that it sounded familiar.
"Key Ghost designation White Witch" her voice if possible turned even more monotone, as if she couldn't believe she was doing this.
The sound of latches and locks becoming undone was heard as the door opened and the threesome and spirit came face to face with Munakata Reisi, the blue king. Saruhiko face palmed.
"Well now this is unexpected do come in" giving them his signature smile Munakata moved out of the way as the group headed into the flat.
As Totsuka and Kusuhara moved around, Munakata placed a hand on Saruhiko's shoulder, "Sir" raising an eyebrow as he turned to him. "I need to speak with you now, there is a room over here that we can use." Leading Saruhiko over to the room he entered with Saruhiko following.
"There's something I need to show you" Munakata sighed "your not going to like it". "No offense sir, but there are not many things I do like so if you could just show me" Munakata shook his head. "Fine but don't say I didn't warn you."
Turning to the other end of the room Munakata tossed a key chain at something, the area that he tossed it at abruptly started to glow. 'A key ghost, that's what he wanted to show me.' As the light died down Saruhiko could see a heartbreakingly familiar person.
"What the hell, Misaki!" Saruhiko stared. It was Misaki, no doubting that, but at the same time there was an aura of emptiness surrounding him, not to mention that he was glowing slightly and floating off the floor. It was a lot like the White Witch if he thought about it.
"He was the one to get me out of the holding facility" Munakata's voice distracted Saruhiko from further contemplation of Misaki as he turned to Munakata.
Munakata gave a small sad smile before turning away "I'll leave the two of you to catch up, and for what it's worth Fushimi-kun I'm sorry" Munakata left the room to go talk to the others.
"I don't get it" Saruhiko turned back to Misaki, surprise flittering across his face at the fact that Misaki would start the conversation.
"The emotions and thoughts about you, there twisted, jumbled." Misaki looked up with a blank yet strangely sad expression. "Happy, sad, some are angry and irritated, others are filled with excitement and happiness. And most prominent of all are the ones that simply are content, and happy, those are the strongest out of all the memories." Now Misaki looked at him, "you know even after you left, if you simply had asked, or told me what was wrong I would have done anything to have helped." Saruhiko's breathing sped up as Misaki, his Misaki a distant part of him stated, wrapped his arms around him. "All the emotions, thoughts, everything, they pointed to one thing" Misaki leant up to whisper in his ear "that I loved you."
Clatter. Misaki's key chain clattered to the floor as Misaki faded back to intangibility, back to being a spirit as Saruhiko collapsed onto the floor, emotions a raging storm inside of him at the realizations given.
Taking a deep breath Saruhiko looked at the keychain in front him taking in its appearance. Grabbing it he was relived that Misaki returned to being solid, before sighing.
"What was I supposed to say Misaki, you fit right in with that group, HOMRA" he spat, glaring at the floor before glancing up as Misaki knelt besides him. "It hurt to see you follow that man like a puppy around his master, and that power. Fire Tch, I hated it, that all consuming red that devowered all." Saruhiko looked up meeting Misaki's eyes. Grabbing Misaki he pulled him into a crushing hug. "I hated it, you were only looking at that man despite everything that I did. " Saruhiko smirked, glancing back at the door "Totsuka-san was no help at all, though I can see why his mask cracked a bit when I mentioned that he would be a good king" turning back to Misaki, he stared into those hazel eyes, as his hand tightened around Misaki's keychain.
Pulling Misaki close, Saruhiko still looking into Misaki's eyes, leant down so that there lips brushed. "Never again" he murmured, " those men are going to die, Aya as well, and this time I'm not going to let you leave my grasp" Saruhiko's eyes lit up with a psychotic gleam. "After all Misaki now belongs to me not anyone else."
"I love you" he murmured before pulling Misaki into a bruising kiss. No, he thought this time no one will separate them, not Souh Mikoto, not those men, Misaki will be by his side.
Always.
