Well, here is the final chapter of Broken Heart. I'm actually kind of sad to see it go. /sobs/ But, anyway. I hope you like this epilogue as much as the others. It's especially for Tohma. Because he actually played a really big part in the story. His fic line was one of the most important of all of them.
The epilogues were apparently written in a kind of order. First Yuki and Shuichi's: REAL early morning. Tatsuha and Ryuichi's was at dawn, and this one is set at dusk. It was also a complete accident. Well, enjoy it everyone!
Surprise Epilogue: Tohma Seguchi
The blond-haired man sat at an expensive looking mahogany desk. His hands lay flat on a pile of papers in an open file folder. The corners of his thin lips curled up in a very cat-like smile. His eyes sparkled mischievously, accenting the satisfied look on his pale face. He watched the other blond man lay sprawled in one of the padded office chairs.
Being the person he is, the American thought he had seen everything. Of course, he was proven wrong time and time again these past weeks. Tohma Seguchi patiently sat; smiling at K. Time seemed to have stopped for the pair, as no one was moving. The wall clock ticked loudly every second, only adding to the silence. Finally, however, K's hand convulsively twitched in annoyance. The President took his cue.
"Well, Mr. K, everything seems back to normal. Shindou and Ryuichi are downright cheery in comparison. So does Eiri in fact. What are your thoughts?"
K sat up suddenly, his shocked expression changing into a thoughtful one at the drop of a pin. "To tell the truth, this whole thing bugs me."
Tohma laughed and swiveled his chair toward the huge windows that the manager now walked to. "Of course it does, because you know the whole thing was out of your control."
The sun glinted off the floor to ceiling glass as they stared down on the city. People milled about together on the sidewalk like insignificant ants. Oblvious to the giant above looking down on them, harboring thoughts of ending their working lives forever.
Giving a glare back to the sun, K spun on his heel and faced Tohma. "Really now? Out of my control, well what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Don't act like a saint, Seguchi, something's up. You surprised me the most out of everything. This was no more under your control than mine!"
Tohma's smile widened. "That's true. I didn't control any of it. It was completely out of my hands."
"Yeah right. Tell me the truth, Seguchi, just what did you really get out of this?"
Tohma swiveled again and closed the folder, tucking it under his arm as he stood. He walked over to K and patted him on the shoulder before moving toward the door. "You're a funny man, K. Mr. Shindou should be proud."
He left the blond American standing in the room, answering the question as his voice faded. "Really now, what makes you think I got anything out of my dear Eiri's personal problem?"
K twitched and growled under his breath as he hurried to follow, lest he be locked alone in the office. The sun was now just barely above the buildings, twinkling still in the windows as if grasping the fragile glass would keep the beautiful rays alive. As the door closed and the lights went out, the dying rays caught the manager's last mutter.
"Manipulative bastard."
VOILA! I'm FINALLY finished! I'm so proud of me and thankful to everyone.
I give a special thanks to everyone who reviewed my story, and everyone who is going to review. I love you all and there isn't enough space or words to completely thank all of you, so I'm going to bunch you all up in one group.
I'd also like to thank the criticism I got from a reviewer. I'm really thankful that someone actually said that stuff to me, because it reminds me that I still have a long way to go before I'm really good at writing. She pointed out the mistakes I've been making and I'll really try to fix them. Although it's really hard to change your style of writing. I'll try, just to make myself better. XD
So thank you all, and as a special treat, I'll let you read an excerpt from a character musing short fic on Krad from D. N.Angel. ENJOY ALL!
Excerpt from Sin:
The blond-haired man entered the dimly lit monastery. Monks muttered in prayer before the large stone depictions of their Gods. The white robes of this holy looking being moved of their own accord, as he seemed to float through the air. One by one, each monk grew silent in their meditating and raised their eyes to him. A shawl covered everything from his nose down, revealing sad eyes fixed on the priest at the end of the aisle.
His gaze never wavered as he stopped in front of Father Midiron. He spoke only one phrase that was so quiet, yet seemed so loud. The monks had no trouble at all in hearing that lovely voice in the silence that threatened to swallow them all.
"Forgive me, Father. For I have sinned."
To be read completely later…
Anyways. I love you all and we'll see you later!
