Author's Note: Finally completed this whole story! Well this chapter is the
last chapter, but then, don't forget the epilogue. So, guess I have to try
and work everything out soon. My exams are coming and if my mom knows that
I'm writing a fan fic instead of studying, well you can say bye bye to Cape
cause mom's gonna kill Cape. Sorry for the nonsense. Let's enter the last
chapter.
Chapter 18: Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Tsukushi's POV:
I don't know how many days have past. In hell, time seems to have eased functioning. Everyday is darkness. Everyday is a torture. Rui, where are you now? I need you to save me from the clutches of Tsukasa. I don't understand men. How can they have sex with women they hate? I thought making love was a special thing between two in love. Within what I felt like 10 days, Tsukasa has been making love to me as a torture. Why did he have to hurt me like that? Just because I am the descendant of Soujirou doesn't mean that I deserve to be treated this way. I just want to be an ordinary girl, going to school, then fall in love, and after graduation, get married and have kids. Is that really too much to ask for?
'Well that's really too much to ask for being a descendant of Soujirou,' Tsukasa whispered into my ears.
'Stop reading my mind!' I hissed angrily. No where in hell is safe, at least for me. Even my own mind is being constantly read by a devil.
'How many times must I tell you that I am not a devil!' Tsukasa bellowed, 'I hate people calling me a devil. For that, receive your punishment!' With that, Tsukasa pounced over me like a hungry beast.
'Get away from me!' I screamed, punching him straight in the face. A mistake! For he immediately took my hand and pin me down on the bed. No matter how I try to struggle free, his strength has always managed to keep me lying on bed. 'Rui!' I called out, hoping that he would appear in front of me and save me.
'Hold it right there, Death,' a familiar voice said. Tsukasa stopped what he was trying to do to me. Rui was finally here to save me!
'Well, it took you sure a long time to get here, Rui. I'm so disappointed in you. Your teacher could here the moment I got Tsukushi's mother and you took 10 days in hell to find me.'
'Say anything you like, Death. I'm here to take Tsukushi away and get rid of evil like you.'
'You are wrong Rui. You came too late. I definitely enjoy her company throughout the last 10 days,' Tsukasa grinned. Rui looked at me with sad and sorry eyes. I didn't know what to say to him.
'I'm sorry Tsukushi, but I will punish him for what he did.'
'YOU?! Don't make me laugh, I could rid of you within minutes.'
' We'll see.' Rui took his sword and aimed at Tsukasa's heart. Tsukasa cracked as he dodged easily. Then he too took out his sword and both Tsukasa and Rui fought. It was clear who had the upper hand. Fighting Tsukasa, Rui's every move seemed to be useless. Maybe that's because Tsukasa knows mind reading. Rui was no match against him.
'Rui,' I heard myself screaming as watch Tsukasa's sword pierce through Rui's delicate skin. Blood oozed out of the wound like a fountain, quickly staining Rui's white clothes to red. I ran to Rui, hugging him. 'Rui, please don't die,' I wept.
'Well Rui, I told you that you were no match for me,' Tsukasa laughed hysterically. 'Well now, meet your doom.' With that Tsukasa charged towards us. I took Rui's sword, preparing to fight Tsukasa. I know that I was no match for him but least, let me protect Rui as long as I live. Rui was injured because of me. I can't let him die here. Tsukasa raised his sword and I raised mine. I knew I had to kill him. I aimed and struck. I thought that I would die for I know that Tsukasa was more experience in taking away lives than I am. I never thought I would live. For at the last moment when I strike, Tsukasa threw away his sword and allowed me to stab him.
'Why did you that?!' I ask as tears flow down my cheeks. Tsukasa fell down on his knees infront of me.
'BAKA,' he said with much effort, ' do you still need to ask? The curse would be broken if I am killed by the descendants of Soujirou.'
'Why do you want to break the curse when you hate my ancestors so much?'
'Because your father once said to me that my hatred is due to my lack of love. Now, I found my love,' Tsukasa stammered.
'Me? But I thought that it was your plan to make me fall in love with you.'
'That was the plan but I never thought that even I have the ability to love. Tsukushi, I love. . .'
'Tsukasa! Tsukasa! NO!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Tsukushi, you alright?' Sakurako asked.
'Yes, I'm okay,' I replied. 10 days in hell and yet only a day has past in the mortal world. I killed Tsukasa and he died to save me. I was wrong about him. He had never intended to hurt me. Those moments that he said he was torturing me was just an excuse for loving me and giving me the sense of security that I need when I found out that I was in hell. I looked out of the window and smiled sadly. 'Tsukasa, I will never forget you,' I muttered under my breath.
'You girls in for a game of basketball?' Rui asked, walking into the classroom.
'Sure!' both Sakurako and I said in unison.
'The loser will have to pay for lunch today!' Rui announced.
'Who said we are losing to you!'
