A/N - What's wrong with ff.net now? My stories are all gone… *sobs* Oh well, one teeny good thing came out of this. (Takato: What's that?) I got to download a video. (What video?) It was a clip, really… (Of what?) Tamers ending. (Which one?) My Tomorrow. (Ah…) It gave me ideas. (Ugh…)
Chapter Eleven: Tamashii-chan
A small breast, filled only with courage
Alone in the rain
My pockets are empty, but
I'm only looking ahead
~My Tomorrow
That wasn't very nice. The minute Aishuu had left, Takato had begun scolding him. You promised you wouldn't kill anyone who didn't deserve it. And what did you just do?
"Relax, tamashii, nothing bad will come out of it… It's only one life, what difference can it really make?" He chuckled softly. "And it was only her…"
That's not a good attitude. Every life can count!
"Like yours? Ne?"
Uh… Please, don't say things like that… I DIDN'T matter, and the world would've been perfectly fine without me, and you know it.
"I have the feeling someone would be blushing, if they had a body, ne? And don't be so modest, Takato was important, you know…"
No I wasn't. Please stop praising me.
"Sweet Tamashii-chan… You really believe you didn't make a difference… I'll teach you that you did…"
--chan? Why -chan? I would think you thought very little of me…
"Well, you do live inside of this body too… Bit hard to ignore someone inside the same body." Aishuu smirked slightly for the thought of Takato's poor soul blushing to the end of the world was amusing. "It is…she…who you love, is it not?" There was a drop of contempt in his voice.
H-hai! Of course, she does not love me… She never did… It's all right, after all, I wasn't really meant to be as a human in this world…
*Poor dear… The human he loves doesn't love him back… I feel sorry for Tamashii-chan. Ah, my dear, if you know how much I care… It's all right. I'll protect you, no matter what!*
Please, please promise me something… Please don't go and kill her…! I…I…I love…her… I don't want to see her suffer… Please…?
"Of course, if that is what you truly want…" *How much I want to strangle her neck… She makes Tamashii-chan suffer even more… Aishiteru, Tamashii-chan…*
Of course, no one would ever love me or my cold, false body… I wish…I could just once, show how much I care… I love her… Aishuu said nothing, but the pathetic sobs in his head wrenched at him. He looked at his fingers from his fingerless glove.
*Don't cry… Tamashii-chan…* He clenched his fist, and resumed his silent prowl through the night.
