Title: Shadowing Tsuzuki
Author: makasarili
Pairing: Tatsumi and Tsuzuki with a touch of Hisoka/Tsuzuki
Warning: Spoiler alert, based on Manga 7 & 8 (translations by Theria).
Disclaimers: Yami no Matsuei is not mine.
If I did own Yami no Matsuei then I would be busy finishing the Gensokai Arc, as it is I am just another fan waiting for Hisoka to get his Shikigami, Tatsumi to solve the Kurosaki family mystery, Watari to remember everything, Muraki to wreak havoc again and for Tsuzuki to get his next dessert or get further into debt.
Onegai Tatsumi-san please do not sue me.
Part 2 of 2
I take a moment to put my own emotions under control before I go to face Kurosaki-kun.
I did not expect for him to ask me to take care of Tsuzuki. Perhaps I was wrong when I tried to shield him earlier. I should not fall into the habit of getting involved like this... but I agreed to do it, this time.
I spent the day together with Tsuzuki, even visiting a familiar haunt. I spent for everything, but that's not the point. He was surprised that I did all that, but I was pleasantly surprised when he was being decisive in protecting that girl and his firm resolve to stop Muraki.
Later I found out that our actions were in vain. Muraki got Mariko-chan. He had negotiated for Tsuzuki to come with him that evening, for her life.
Tsuzuki being Tsuzuki went.
I let him drink on my card, a poor trade I know, but it was the only thing I could offer him.
Kurosaki promised me he would see Tsuzuki home.
They came home alright and they even brought Mariko. They found her. She was safe or so we thought. We thought we were safe. It was too late when we found out Muraki had made her in his perverted way a Trojan horse.
Muraki got Tsuzuki, and he had gotten away with murder again. Kurosaki almost gave up, Watari jumped at my outburst but it made Kurosaki decide to get into action, to get Tsuzuki back.
It was Kurosaki alone who could face the swordsman to win the key cards. Only he had the training. He made me smile as his spirit shone through, that Tsuzuki meant so much to him.
It was really a night of surprises, but the night was still young.
We got the cards. We got to the lab. We could not get to Tsuzuki, not without possibly dying. Kurosaki choose to take the risk, for Tsuzuki.
And for what maybe the last time I decided to use Tsuzuki's shadow. I would use his shadow to save the one he loved. Even if he choose not to be saved himself, I knew he would not choose for Kurosaki to die there with him.
All the other surprises before were forgotten, when I found out I have pulled out two shinigamis instead of one. Hisoka was stronger than I had given him credit for. He had been able to pull Tsuzuki with him. He actually made Tsuzuki want to live again, or so I hoped in my heart.
Even if Tsuzuki would not live for me... as long as he was alive... as long as I could see him... see him smile... as long as I could hope that HE would someday find happiness... maybe I could too. And maybe he would forgive me for wanting him to live despite all the sadness he must have in his heart.
He forgives me. I could have cried but I have always told him grown men don't cry, so I don't.
I just hold him close in my arms, our shadows melting into one.
