CHAPTER 9. HIS HOPE AND HIS DEATH
"Tsuzuki, If you just say where you've been we can forget all about this." Zerla stepped in front of Tsuzuki to try and drown out the laughing of Raidon. "After your blood touches the paper theres no way possible that you could come back... " She lowered her head for a moment. "...No one will take care of you, on one can protect you and make sure your happy." She held the paper tighter.
"Hurry up Zerla! We must not chat with the likes of the former shinigami!" Raidon's voice echoed through out the room.
"I recall Tensei telling you that your voice wasn't needed." Yasuo's voice was calm but filled with threat. He looked down at Tsuzuki and sighed. "Continue."
Just then they all heard the sounds of clapping. The gods looked around in a somewhat panick, trying to find where the sound came from.
"My, my, my Raidon-Sama your practically a lady with your ranting." Everyone turned around to see a platinum blond slowly clapping his hands.
"MURAKI!" Tsuzuki yelled in total shock. Muraki just came walking down in the room as if he lived there.
"Who's this 'Muraki'!" Raidon yelled at the top of his lungs.
Zerla turned to the man in the white trench coat and then fixed her eyes back on Tsuzuki who remained staring intensely at the figure.
"Tsuzuki who is this?" Zerla made sure her voice was low enough for only Tsuzuki to hear her. "Answer." But it was all in vain for Tsuzuki was was already fixed on trying to register what was going to happen now that Muraki was there.
"Who are you to come here without reason?" Tensei said, very much on the irritated side. This wasn't suppose to take long but because it was Tsuzuki a lot of questions were meant to be answered and now people are coming from no where, insulting the closest things to GOD there ever was. "Please speak mortal."
"He-he I haven't been called a mortal in such a long time but I'll let you off with a warning that I'm no ordinary mortal." He smirked.
"And who might you be?" Tensei's voice never once lost its calm. He stared at platinum blond walking over to his Tsuzuki.
"What are you doing Muraki?" Tsuzuki yelled in a panicked voice, he was pale and shivering.
"Now Tsuzuki-Kun, you know of my fondness for you. And IF you were to be killed or banned to the likes of hell you know very well that I'm the only one who would have that responsibility." Muraki stood two steps from Tsuzuki who was still in shock. "Now Raidon, noble god of thunder... from what I just heard you don't like my Tsuzuki here. And the one called Oriya wont make a fine shinigami because he WONT die." A slight chuckle came from Muraki.
"And who are you to judge to words of the gods?" Yasuo cut in.
"I am but a simple man..." He trailed off a bit to steal a glare from Tsuzuki."...a simple man who will be your worst night mare if Tsuzuki has to be banned for something that I did."
"MURAKI!" Tsuzuki's eyes widened in total shock. He wanted to take the blame he wanted everything to be over but Muraki wont let him suffer. "Muraki, no!Stop! I'm the one who went with you. I'm to blame! Please you cant do this! not now now ever!"
"MURAKI! Are your the one that created eternity? Your the one that Tsuzuki would give his life for!" Zerla's voice was surprisingly loud and fearful.
"Why yes, I'm Muraki. And you must be the lovely Zerla, you are much stronger than your physical appearance. Tell me how does one hide such strength in such a petite body?
"You are not worthy of such small talk with me. This is HADES how would a mortal get in?"
"Once again, I am no ordinary mortal. And right now I would like all charges dropped. There really isn't any more talk needed for this, is it?"
"Muraki." Finally Yasuo cut in from the obvious tension that could lead to a fight the endless gold and sliver room. "Will you take the charges from Tsuzuki?"
Tsuzuki stared at Muraki with such sadness.
TSUZUKI'S POV
He's doing it again... loving me with such care. But I cant just let him do this. Being banned is something that nobody should go through I can never just let him go. Then I'll have to continue without him. I'll have continue saving and never being saved.
Muraki ... My Muraki, you saved me. So I want to go. I want to leave everything behind.
The only one... My only one. I'll die for you. Whether you see this or not.
"Yes I will." He turned to me and smiled. I cant let him do it. He has to smile tomorrow, and the day after and for all his life. "Its the least I can do right? I'm the one who forced Tsuzuki to go. I'm the one who didn't know about the time difference and I'm the one who caused his suffering." His smile faded when he turned back to the gods.
No!
"MURAKI!" He turned back to me with a frown. "I wont let you do it!" I lunged at him with a tight hug. I wanted to hold on forever. But forever didn't last long. I heard Raidon start to laugh. Muraki let his grip on me go then turn to him.
"HA! How cute! The great Tsuzuki of the twelve guardian spirits is a FAGGOT!" All I did was stare...
END TSUZUKI'S POV
Muraki's eyes narrowed at him. There wasn't any way to avoid this now. Just then a stream of white light went racing toward Raidon. And with a load 'crash' Raidon was hit and thrown to the ground. "That would teach you not to say such things about the people I care about." Muraki some how gotten a new power under all his messes.
"Muraki! How did you do that?" Tsuzuki was almost too shocked to speak, almost. "You cant just attack Raidon like that! This cant be turned onto a war!" Tsuzuki yelled and screamed in protest for it. Thats until Raidon's eyes started to glow bright with a mix of pale white and orange.
"How dare you! Now you'll see the power that has forced shinigami cower in fear!" His fist lite up with thunder and darkness took over the sky.
"NO! I wont allow a fight within these walls-" Yasuo tried to calm everyone down.
"Be quiet! You've seen this man's tone and his rudeness!"
"How dare you talk to your superior like that! Raidon I'm going to put you on shut down!" Yasuo started to mumble a spell.
"HA!" Muraki was usually cocky at that moment. "Your getting a timeout! You must be embarrassed at your shameful and rude presence." Muraki turned to Tsuzuki who was still very pale and mouth agape. "Tsuzuki? Whats wrong?"
Tsuzuki was shaking. "How... how could you?" He stuttered. "How can you do that? You could have killed him!" Tsuzuki ran punched Muraki's chest. "Why would you do that?" He continued to punch and shove Muraki until Muraki's nerve was hit and Muraki slapped him right on his left cheek.
"You mean how could I do the exact thing he was going to do to you!" Tsuzuki held his cheek with his left hand and stared at Muraki.
This was the one he loved... too logical to go against him. He is always right. And going against what he said was going against rightful theory. "You don't even get it! Do you? I'm willing to die!"
Zerla just stared at them then back to Tensei and Yasuo who watched with intensely wide eyes.
ZERLA'S POV (a/n: Is this really needed? I don't even know why I'm putting in her POV-sigh-)
I... I don't understand. I don't understand the emotion between them. Are they in love or not? I watched as they argued over the concept of taking life for bad and taking life for good. Is there a difference?
I do see that Tsuzuki must have some kind of love for this, Muraki person... but If he didn't then why is he going through all this trouble for him. I glanced over to Yasuo, kind, level headed Yasuo, get slightly angered at the scene.
"Just shut up for once and let me do what I came here to do!" The one named Muraki said with his white trench coat almost seemed to rise in anger and frustration. I wonder how such people would meet each other. Fate must not like them. Its either that or fate has something entirely different in mind for them.
"NO! You think I would just let you do it? Who do you think I am?" It seems that his own life is worthless if Muraki is the one to suffer. But Tsuzuki... I wish you would just give him the punishment... because my life is nothing without you. I don't get it. Was he the one that got to you? Was it him that got to your heart and gave you what you really wanted?
I was here the whole time. If you just told me what you wanted I could have given it to you. And somehow we all end like this... this mess that might have been avoided but its here anyway. I wont take it anymore!
"STOP!" I wont be ignored and I wont let this continue! "Tsuzuki you are the one to pick... do you want to take the blame or would you rather life and continue living among the one called Hisoka!"
Yes, I did know about Hisoka. The very fragile boy of sixteen. I knew if Tsuzuki really held to choose between life and Hisoka he would pick Hisoka becauseHisoka needed Tsuzuki. And Tsuzuki never wants to hurt anybody. We all stared at him... was that truly a hard question?
"What is your answer Tsuzuki-Kun?" Muraki whispered. His relationship with Tsuzuki is very unhealthy. I just hope this turns out well... for everybody.
END ZERLA'S POV(a/n: totally pointless?tell me.)
Somehow Raidon escaped from his 'shut down' and sunk off into the shadows.
"MURAKI!" They all turned to see Raidon's entire body glowing with lighting and thunder. "You and Tsuzuki will DIE!" Just then a bright bolt of lighting went straight for Muraki. All Muraki did was stare at it, then... 'bam' Muraki was hit. He flew in the air then fell the ground with a thud.
"Muraki no!" Tsuzuki stared at him then turned to Raidon's cold eyes. "Why are you doing this?" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
Muraki got to his feet holding his stomach with his left hand. His once whit trench coat, now covered in blood. He started to cough up blood. "Its OK Tsuzuki... blood as never stopped me before..." He coughed harder and more blood came spewing out of his mouth. He tried to stop it by covering his mouth but it didn't help.
"But... Muraki.. I" Tsuzuki took a step closer to him. But before he could take another step he was hit by Radon's heavy lighting attack right through his back.
Tsuzuki was hit but he still continued to walk toward Muraki who was collapsed on the floor.
"Yasuo stop him! He's going to kill them both!" Zerla panicked.
TSUZUKI'S POV
Mur-- Muraki ... please you have to get up! I slowly crawled to him but I didn't think I was getting closer. All the sounds of Zerla's screaming and all the mess behind me was drowned out.
I have to get to Muraki. My vision... it faded in and out. I reach out my hand. M... Muraki has become an illusion... I cant touch him!
Finally I get to him. He's still breathing... my Muraki is still alive... but I cant save him... and he cant save me. I place my hand over his... its cold. I sit over him and whisper in his ear.
"Muraki... your... your the only one... Now we can die... together. This way, Hisoka can be dead in peace and I can be with you. This is how I-- we die.
...everything goes white...
