Tatsumi in a tree, looking at a castle made of ice. They knew that this mission could not be failed at all for the sake of his fallen allies. Leone who died trying to get imperial arms, Mine who died while Tatsumi was controlled and Akami who died while trying to stop him from suicide. Everybody he knew was gone, all due to this evil demon living inside this castle. After a few more moments, he jumped down and began walking towards the frozen hell.
Within seconds, he was inside and looking around. For a castle made of ice, it surpsingly had a lot of furniture. A couple of tables here and there, all covered with midnight blue table clothes and 5 oak chairs next to each of them. A kitchen connected to the main room with stairs leading to more rooms on a 2nd floor but also a throne room. Tatsumi kept walking quietly towards the throne room. He knew his enemy, no, the devil would be there. Within this castle, the floor would run red with her blood after he delivered the final blow.
He opened the door slowly and peered inside to see Esdeath sitting on her throne, her light blue hair flowing to the ground and her hat covering her eyes. He was unable to tell if she was motionless from sleep or playing him. He took a couple of cautious steps forward when her head shot up, her eyes meeting his as her cheeks turned hot pink from blushing. Tatsumi always wondered why she blushed like that but didn't have time to ponder on it as he drew his incursio in preparation to start the final battle.
Quickly he activated incursio and charged at her. Esdeath quickly stood up and aimed her hand at him, shooting ice shards at him to distract him. As much as she hated to do this due to the amount she loved Tatsumi, she knew he was part of the rebellion and wouldn't quit so she had to finish him off. While he was distracted, she ran beside him and tried to grab his arm. Tatsumi moved in time to dodge and land a slice down her chest, causing blood to splatter all over his armor. Esdeath, seconds from dying, used the last bit of her strength to free Tatsumi's heart so that he died with her.
Esdeath dropped to the ground as a puddle of blood formed around her. Tatsumi, smiling from his victory, fell onto the ground beside Esdeath. His eyesight going to black as a faint scent ventured into his nostrils. He knew this scent from somewhere, but couldn't remember where. As he felt the life slipping from his soul, the scent grew. After what felt like 10 minutes, his eyesight started to return and the scent reached its max power.
Blurry at first, Tatsumi kept blinking to clear his vision and saw an outline of something in front of him. Groggily, he stood up and took a step, followed by another. He took a few more steps before his vision fully cleared up to show that in front of him stood a woman.
This woman had long, beautiful pink hair. Wearing a pink gown the covered her whole body. A beautiful face accompanied by a beautiful smile, and pink eyes that could get any man lured in. In her arms, resting peacefully was a baby. A smile on its face as it rested comfortably in the arms of its mother. Tatsumi kept staring, wondering who it was. It wasn't until he looked directly into her eyes that he realized….it was Mine.
He ran directly to her and hugged her tightly, kissing her lips and taking the baby, knowing it was his child. Mine smiled at him as he held the baby, and spoke her first words.
"I missed you…you idiot.." she whispered as she watched Tatsumi cuddle the baby. Once again, their family was complete. This time however, they never had to say goodbye.
