"Un-cliched"
If God did indeed exist, I'd wager that he's laughing his ass off at this very moment.
Quite understandable since, afterall I'm his most wicked child on the verge of death. Oh how amusing this sounds, even to me! But it still is a rather bad thing…I expected to go out in a flashier way.
Now that I think about it, being surrounded by black flames as I simply wait for my life force to drain away seems pretty dramatic. Points to the Almighty for this turn on events but no credit because I still stand by my opinion that I deserve better.
My Tsuzuki-san is with his blond love now, finding that sanctuary he's always sought, weeping from all the emotion. Rather too much like a soap opera or something of the kind. But no one said that reality had to be "un-cliched" and I don't believe that anything is "un-cliched" anymore.
We live in the same soap opera world, pulled by the same divine strings worked by divine hands.
The script has just called me to die and I feel the cold creeping in, slowly but swiftly. How can it? I'm in the middle of a blazing inferno…no, it's just my body. Deciding to give up, eh? Can't blame it.
Everything is blurring. No, it's not because I don't have my glasses on. I doubt it's the heat. Damn it, it's the blood! The red stuff is all over my suit. Does anyone realize how difficult and costly it is to clean blood off of white?
In spite of my position, I find the strength to laugh.
Who wrote this script? I'm sure you would have done things in a more theatrical way, God. Why the lame ending?
No. I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that. Why the lame ending for me? You think things would be better if you let your beloved ones, the Shinigami, live? I'm the antagonist who torments them ceaselessly aren't I? The "spice" in the drama?
Forgive me for this change of scene but…
I believe that things would be better like this.
The antagonist doesn't die just yet.
I'm the script writer now, these are the events to unfold.
Cheers anyway, God, for a rather exceptional drama up till now.

A.N.:
I never really pictured Muraki this way. How this came up, I have no idea. He never
struck me as the religious type, much less one who believes in God. But this is
my version. You are free to believe in yours. Comments, suggestions, violent
and otherwise, you can e-mail them to me. Happy Holidays. ~Requiem
