Maraki/Tsuzuki

I stood at the edge of town where my beloved was planed to come and save the soul that wandered for too long, of course I'm the one who 'helped' the poor girl, and dumped her soul there in the first place, but thats not the real point.

"What the hell are you doing here!?"Said the cursed young boy. I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprized to see him still alive for so long.

"Well the thing is, hell really isn't my cup of tea." I replied, he was an annoying little runt.

"Well I guess your cup of tea isn't Tsuzuki either because he's not here! Ha!"

"Well then I'll be off, do you happen to know where he, in fact, is?" My voice was calm and my smile was simple, thats my way of being polite to the one I killed.

"You really think I'm going to tell you where he is?"A gun a was in the boy's hand. Did he really think a gun was a treat to me? ...Bullets fired, I guess he did. I swiftly dodged the fires as if rice was being thrown at me.

"Young boys shouldn't be so pushy... especially dead ones!" A single blow to his face would free me from his rudeness but I decided not to, he still has a job to do and I still have someone to find.

I wandered the streets of Tokyo for moments on end and for some reason I couldn't feel my beloved. Usually I can even hear his heart beating in my ears, I wanted to destroy the heart that beated in my ears and soul, but I felt nor heard anything. Somethings wrong...my heart raced as to what in the world could have happened to a guardian of death? And millions of unwanted ways of death jotted in my head, ways of death that made me fear for the life of him. My speed increased and I ran. Unknown to where I was going. I reached the park when the rain began to fall.

"Are the gods mocking me?"

I ran once more but this time I didn't stop...I continued to run as if running would release me from my thoughts.

Before I realized it, I was at his house, Tsuzuki's home. I walked slowly and carefully as if my steps in the rain would cause more damage to him than what I had already thought of. I walked up the steps of his home. I stayed still and stared at the door.

"No one will answer, you fool..." I told myself as I stood there and tried to think but nothing clear came to mind. 'I'm scared..?'

"What are you doing here?"

I turned in disbelief. Is it possible?...there he was, but he was hurt. 'What had happened to him?

His face was bloody and looked as if he went through a blender. He was bleeding from his stomach as he held it with his right hand. His velvety black trench coat now red with blood and dirt.

"What the hell happened to you? Why are you..." I couldn't speak for the fear of it being an illusion.

"I ran into some demons that broke out from the jail that made their way down to earth to satisfy their revenge... I was too weak to make it back to the inferimary in HADES."

"Your not suppose to keep demons after you capture them! You could have been killed! I didn't hear your heartbeat!" He blinked twice at me. I wasn't sure if he was confused or too hurt to listen.

"My heartbeat..? You were worried...? How dare you worry when you kill people just to get my attention, how do you think the families of the people you kill feel?"

He collapsed right in front of me, I stood there for seconds but it felt like years. I wanted to cry.

"You're... your such a fool." I whispered.

I picked him up and went to the door. "I don't suppose that he as a key for his door...well then I can't be breaking and entering if the owner is here with me."

I kicked the door open and it fell through. "This isn't the way I had always pictured entering your home." I laughed. "Its almost like we're married ne?"

"You... Pervert..." My eyes blinked at the fact that he could still talk after what happened, he could even find the force to insult me. He is truly amazing.

I placed Tsuzuki on the bed and walked over to the window where I sigh in relief that he was okay.

"I'm gonna be okay...you should leave now."

"I want to stay--for your healing of course." I smiled.

"Like I really need your healing" He tried to get up but it was no use, he needed me this time.

I came closer and as I did so he moved back step by step. Soon he was on the wall. It was funny to me, no matter how much he tried to stay away from me we always ended up like this, like fate just didn't want to leave us alone. I pressed my body on to his and whispered into his ear.

"Are you scared of me? I promise to be gentle." And with that I took off his coat and undid his shirt slowly, just ever so slowly. I wanted to saver the little space between him and I. I want to remember dearly the day he needed me to be there from him and him only. I put my hand over the wound he had on his chest, he flinched at my touch.

"Do you want me to stop the pain?" My face was close to his, so close that I could feel his breath mox with my own.

"Your the one who started this pain." His face was viscous and the movement of his lips made it press on mine.

"Please don't be so cruel." I smiled.

"Leave me alone!" I watched as he began to transform into that beautiful beast but he didn't even get that far. He fell to his knees because he was too weak.

"I guess I can't just leave my beloved here to die now can I?" I picked him up and placed him in his bedroom. I was fascinated by the smell of apple pie and roses, a weird smell in fact but enjoyable at best. I cleaned his wounds and patched him up with the first aid kit in the bathroom. I was surprised that no matter how bad he got hurt I knew he would be fine in a couple of days.

I turned to see that he was fast asleep. Its weird how some people have to sleep with one eye open if their one true enemy was in the room, not him.

"Does this mean you trust me Tsuzuki?" A smile creeped over my lips.
