BAD END
WHERE THE STORY ENDS
THEY ARE DONE WHILE WE CONTINUE.
FOR IT IS A SHAME THAT WHILE WE LIVE A HAPPILY EVERY AFTER, THEY SCREAM AND CRY
IN THEIR HAPPILY NEVER AFTER
"He's gone." Her voice wavers slightly as she sits down on the couch next to her beloved. "He left, she left. Everybody is gone now. They've fallen into their own madness."
Shintaro wraps one arm around her trembling body, pulling her closer. "Shh. It's not your fault. They chose their own ending; there is nothing we could have done."
Ayano shakes her head. The news had traveled fast, her being his older sister, she found out first.
Seto Kousuke has committed suicide, his last words of till death do us part and maybe we can recall it someday, and we'll meet again.
Kozakura Marry has also committed suicide.
Enemoto Takane's body has gone missing.
Amamiya Hibiya has died from a car accident.
The doors to Kenjiro's lab have been forced shut with a bent pipe.
"I wonder if Marry-chan knew, maybe she'd reset the time…" the brunette whispers, not caring whether he hears or not.
"She did."
Her head whips towards the past NEET. "What do mean she did?"
Shintaro sighed. "She already knew with the retaining snake." He doesn't meet her eyes. "I told her."
Her eyes widened. "You still have your snake."
He nodded but said no more. The sound of light rain filled the silence as they sat on the couch. They stayed like that for minutes until their attention was brought to the albino man who was sleeping with his head on the table.
"At least Ene and he are better, along with Shuuya and Tsubomi." Her voice came out no louder than a whisper.
The black haired boy shook his head. "Wrong. Kido's mad at Kano because he acted like a douche when he finally came home to her. Ene… she came home without her body, crying…"
The Neet was cutting the vegetables with one ear bud in. He stopped as he hear sniffs.
'Ene?'
He could tell she was crying, and it was odd since she didn't come back in her original body or with Konoha. Instantly, he knew what had happened.
She abandoned her old life and he remembered too late.
The red jersey boy didn't say anything until he was fed up. "Look, you've got to decide. Who do you love, as Ene? Haruka or Konoha ; because no matter what, they are no longer the same person. You a new person and your old life can't be relived even if you have the original body."
"Master…" he voice was small but it didn't matter. "Yes, I think I know. Thank you."
"There's the virus I know." He heard her stomp her foot digitally. "I'm just kidding."
"You better be or Ayano will hear all your loveydovey songs~" Shintaro almost cut his finger.
"Shintaro! Are you alright?" asked a worried brunette. He nodded and laughed nervously.
"I see." The rain was coming down much harder now and the sound of thunder echoed off the walls. "It really is unfortunate that life has taken a turn like this." She took a deep breath. "Was there really nothing we could have gone to avoid such a path?"
"No. This is the end, at least of this route. I'm sure they are looking down at us, pitiful." He looks up to the ceiling as if there is a portal to see 'them'.
"Who are 'they'?"
"'They' are the old us, back in Mekakushi-dan with our snakes and the adventures. I wonder if that could be us now if we chose not to return our snakes or to stay together instead. Marry, Seto, and Hibiya are with them now. I hope they can be happy together up there. They can fulfill the mutual loves and create more adventures." He looks back down to her and there are tears.
"This is how our story ends. It's sad, everybody never got to meet up again. Even though we all remember."
His body trembles and slouches against hers. She cannot say anything to reassure him as she swallows the burning sensation in her throat. Blinking away the tears, she pulls him to have his head rest on her chest. His arms wrap around her small figure and he tries to say more.
The result is a crack.
She lets out a cry and he whimpers. Tear drops soak her dress and fall to his jet black hair. They cry and cry until no more tears come. They look to Konoha and sees he is still asleep which a sigh of relief is let out.
"Shintaro, would you laugh if I said I was afraid?"
"Of course not. What there was to be afraid of is now gone. The opportunity of madness has passed and the strings have broken." His voice came out with no emotion and she laughed bitterly.
"The only thing left is our poor broken souls. Dead or broken; what a great choice God has given us." She sneers and horrible laughter fills the room. "Lucky us, we chose broken. Some dies and some decide to live a haunted life until death comes knockin' on the door."
"It's more like it has chosen us."
"The ending is distasteful. The last page has arrived in our tragic story."
Knives are held in the opposite hands while the two closest together link fingers. They nod and smile one last time.
"'Maybe we can recall it someday, and we'll meet again.' How misleading."
"I'll meet you on the other side my love."
"Yes, we shall."
Kuroha looks to the two approaching figures and smiles. "It looks like you two have arrived to join our wonderland~ I see it as there are still some to follow?"
They nodded and stop in front of him. "They are waiting over there?"
"Yes. Just pass me and enjoy~ once the last five enter the gates will close~"
A muffler passes the snake eyed boy. The water ripples and he sighs.
"Looks like my other half and she have come~"
Cry cry crying. It hurtsss.
