DISCLAIMER: you've read this a million times by now right? *ahem*! I do not own any of the
charicters in this story (unless they're an OC and in such case i will let you know but
until that time, none of them are mine) all be long to the great manga-ka Yoko Matsushita.
This is just me having too much time on my hands and having just watched the dvds too much,
mix in a little insomnia and you get the makings of most fanfiction!
WARNINGS: This is Au, and with that all OOC are abolished! HAHA! Well, I'll try and keep
their character though. Acctually I'd like to keep all the characters in character,
but because it is an AU alot of them are...different because of their situations aren't the
same as in the manga. Well anyways, PLZ DON'T KILL ME!! This is my first fic ever, so
be kind ^_^; Also I've read the manga so I'm gonna toss in some chars. that arn't in the
moves, but I'll let ya know when.
Pairings: Definatly a TsuxSoka fic, but as to the other ones, well that's complicated.
Plot wise I've already figuared out the ENTIRE plot...just not how I'm gonna make it end...
will it be happy? Sad? EVEN I DON'T KNOW!! AHHhh! the suspence is good right now...well
atleast for me :P
It's written First Person POV, but when he thinks actual word words, they're in ('..')
Now, on with the story!
..........................................................................................
My World of Strawberries and Cream.
Strawberries...
Soft milk.... cream.
melting warmly...
My eye's hazed over in contentness. The warmth that corsed from this simple joy was like
a ward against the cold white snow that surrounded my body. A magic all in it's own.
Now that was a thought, and not one that I couldn't believe. Not having magic be what was
in question, no doubt as to THAT existence, but this, could THIS thing be magic?
Why not?
It was all there is right now, and it is all I need. Nothing else matters, not like
it ever did now, did it?
'Oh now, were was thinking like that going to get me?' rolling onto my back, the snow gave
an offending crunch under my weight. My eyes lazily rolled over to look at my hand. More like
the glove that covered it. I'm dressed in a full white jacket with fur that rims the hood.
White glove, white snowpants, white boots....
"The better to see you with my dear." my voice seems like was just a whisper now, one that
didn't even break the night's air, but remained infolded in it.
The night sky is so dark. It doesn't even seem to be blue at all. Well not a sky blue,
of course not, but maybe, even at night, the sky seems to have just a hint of blue hidden in
it. It promises the next day will come. It means that the sun is still there, hidden from
us, but that blue, it's the promise it gives; the promise to return.
A promise...to return....
My head seems to fill with clouds of it's own. Hazy as my thoughts are, there's a new one that
enters when I think of these words. I scrunch my face as I try and place the importance to them.
It's important, I know it is. I KNOW it! Yet...
"What? Did it have a sour center?" A voice that broke the air around me and ripped all
of my conflicting thoughts apart, concentration lost.
"No, Tatsumi-san, I was just trying to remember something is all." I look over to the man
who is sitting under a tree right next to my relaxed form. His glasses have sheened over and
I can't see his eye's, but I can tell he's tensed. Not that I would have been able to tell
from his face though either mind you, he's a complete poker face!
He's always been so calm and collected. It took me five years of working with this man to
finaly be able to read even the slightest of his exprestions. When he came to the NSF, I
thought he was a just a tight wad accountant. Oh, and one can't forget scary either. I
thought he was going to kill me when I first came back from assignment with a hundred dollars
in food bills signed over to the department. Well, hehe, I suppose that's not quite right,
he DID try to kill me! I had to hide in the Count's Archive room for the whole day! Now the
Count says I owe him, or something like that, and he want's to collect...but he doesn't want
money he says...
"Why are you making that face? Are you sick?" Tatsumi states rather flatly, again
disrupting this freezing nights air.
"Ahhh...I might be," He sits up slightly ready to move to my aid if I'm going to hurl, but
I give a strained smile and wave him back down with my hand. "No, no, I'm fine. Really!"
Oh, there it is again, that stupid happy voice of mine.
Now I feel sick for a different reason.
"Look," I point into the clearing, happy to have a diversion. An SUV has pulled up to the
cabin in the clearing that we've been keeping watch over. Tatsumi pulls out some binoculars,
but I don't bother: I don't need them. It's three men, that get out. I squint my eyes and can
see that the man we were waiting for is the one leading the trio to the cabin. The cabin already
has light breaking through it's windows and smoke billowing from the chimney. He stops at the
door and knocks before the door is opened up and the three rush in to escape the cold.
I start to push myself up from the snow, not even bothering to dust myself off. Tatsumi
has already cocked his gun by the time I get mine ready. He noddes to me and I return the
affirmation. The shadows the pine trees that have been marring this white snow with, now trun and
twist.
They start to bend in unnatural ways.
Bend to the will of my partner.
Tatsumi remained focused, calling out silently to that same darkness that pooled around and
underneath us. The shadows began pulling on me, dragging me into their center. It was always a
disturbing feeling, beening sucked into the darkness of Tatsumi's shadows.
It was...or seemed, maybe too much, like we were beeing pulled down into death.
'Oh now, that's not such a bad thought!' I smirk at the irony and humor of my inner voice as
I'm pulled into the black abyss.
It was more then ironic, it was fitting. There is nothing in this world.
Nothing. This whole world, and everything in it.
It's nothing, but hell. Yes, this world, it must be just that.
Strawberries
Soft milk....cream
The last of the warmth trickles down my throat, the last pleasure I was holding on to.
'Yes, this world and everything in it, it's nothing, nothing but hell.' My last thought's,
as I keep that stupid smile on my face, as I'm pulled into the abyss, the last thing, the
only thing that comes to my mind now:
'How fitting for a thing like me?'
.............TBC
