A/N: Yosh! Updating, updating! I'll probably update again this week before I go. Not sure, hope so. :D Taking my prompts with me of course.
Thanks go to: Edhla (reviewing three ficlets, squee!), Pandamonium (Tamers is a really messed up season.), Xros Hero (bro, I love you, you seem to just track me everywhere.), and our new reviewer Musically Correct! (Your username is boss and thank you so much. I'm really glad you feel I'm reaching the hearts of these characters.) You guys are wonderful, every single one of you.
Thanks go to Musically Correct for following! Also, Charmyxcream14, sorry it took me so long, but if I haven't said it already thanks for favoriting. (That isn't even a word.)
All right, enough chitchat, time for the next update. Enjoy! (Yes, I love Xros Wars.)
Season: Hunters
Genre: Friendship
Characters: Amano Yuu, Akashi Tagiru, Kudo Taiki
- There was something considerably soothing about how different they were.
26. Odds and Ends
Taiki knew his time when it came.
He was not a person to fuss on what he couldn't do. He wasn't a Hunter, and he knew that. He was a murderer, and he knew that too.
So he let the others play their game. He wanted it to remain a game. He wanted his friends to play and play as much as children should. It was too late for him.
For Yuu and Tagiru, it was only the beginning.
Yuu argued with him about that. For ages, he argued. Taiki didn't budge. He was more stubborn than any of the others when he put his foot down. Yuu didn't understand the difference between them was more than Taiki was a soft-hearted boy who had a loud-mouthed partner. It was more than strength.
Taiki accepted what he was. He knew Yuu couldn't do that quite yet.
As for Tagiru… well, he was too stubborn for his own good. Even if Taiki had taken his Xros Loader, he would have found a way to use it. Yuu would be fine with Tagiru, no matter what happened.
Taiki already knew… that people like him were meant to disappear someday into the crowd.
That made him rather happy.
