Chapter 2 The Emptiness

Genrou reluctantly stepped back into the shower. What a fool he was. If he had at least put on some clothes he wouldn't have had to take another shower. "Oh well," Genrou muttered to himself, "it won't kill me to be EXTRA clean today"


After twenty minutes Genrou was out of the shower, he had a fresh set of clothes on that consisted of a white t-shirt, a leather jacket, and a pair of old blue jeans that were now "light" blue. He still didn't quiet know why he bought the jacket. It might have been the fact that Tsuki says it looks "awesome on him" or maybe it gave him the same feeling as the dark blue trench coat that he wore back in Konan. Genrou shrugged, he was tired of quizing himself over pointless questions.

By the time Genrou walked out of his room, the aroma of new pancakes had already filled the house. It wasn't a real distinct smell, but enough so that Genrou could tell that his breakfast was ready. He literally ran to his seat where two hot pancakes were waiting for him. Hungrily, he dumped some syrup on them and began feasting.

"Jeez, from the way you're wolfing down those pancakes it looks like I haven't been feeding you or something! SLOW DOWN! "

Genrou shot a "you haven't" look at Nuriko. Who returned the look with "I'll get you look" as they both broke into laughter.

"Thanks again, Nuriko. It's nice to have you back again."

"Awww. That's the most sincere I've heard you since you tried to rape Miaka!"

"Nuriko!"

"I was just kidding! Jeez! Lighten up a bit won't you! You're just like Tama! You blow up like a little kid!"

It wasn't the fact that he had been compared to Taka/Tamahome. Actually he loved Taka like a little brother. Even though the fact that Taka occasionally acted a little too serious, and had to grow up a little too fast. Genrou still loved him.

***(NOT LIKE THAT!!! You HENTAI people out there!! I know what you were thinking! Tasuki is NOT I repeat NOT going to be *~~*gay*~~* in this fan fic! I don't like those!)***


The thing that had gotten to him was the time he had tried to rape Miaka, Taka's girlfriend or now, wife. He couldn't remember everything that happened. All he knew was that at the beginning he was attacked by water that was controlled by Hikou which had caused the deep feelings of his heart to take over his body. And afterwards it had left him feeling completely empty.


It left a emptiness. It was hard for him to describe. It almost made hime feel hollow. A feeling that he had felt before...so long ago.........
