N/A: This is probably the darkest thing I have ever attempted in writing. I usually write like I'm on sugar and that I've floating on marshmallow clouds. (Hence I usually don't write serious stuff…) A fluff writer now turned dark writer…Omigosh! Get the straitjacket…
Eternity
Red crimson blood carpeted the cold cement pavement, dead lifeless bodies sprawled in grotesque positions decorating the dark alleyway, and the silent sound of the calm after a battle suffocated the atmosphere. Yet the horrible scene was nothing compared to what Jubei was staring at, the demon named death.
Jubei's entire world collapsed the moment he kneeled down to hold the dying body. Reality and hope crashing down and eternally departing from Jubei's being. The only thoughts frantically racing through his mind was losing the person that had given his life meaning, the thought of losing the person that had held his heart for all these years. The feeling of a solemn worthlessness and grieve helplessness constricted his very soul. He could nothing now. It was too late.
He held the almost lifeless fragile body close to him; he felt the diminishing heartbeat and the slow unsteady breathing. The hot tears started to roll down his blood-stained cheeks. He started to shake violently as he stroked the long locks of bloody brown hair. Why did this have to happen? Why Kazuki?
"Please, don't cry." Kazuki's voice was weak without it's usually eloquence.
Hearing Kazuki whisper some last few words only caused Jubei to sob even harder. Tears continued to roll down Jubei's cheeks as he held Kazuki even closer. "Kazuki…I…I" He had never really told Kazuki how he really felt. Expression had never really been one of Jubei's strong points. But the cruelty that the first and last time that Jubei would reveal how he felt would be to a dying Kazuki. His heart and soul was being ripped from him. He would have died a million deaths in the place for Kazuki; he wished so hard that it was him that was vanishing from the world.
It was so pathetic, even these last few moments he was such a coward. He couldn't even express himself to the one he loved. He choked back some tears and gazed at Kazuki's lovely façade and tried again. "Kazuki…I…I love…"
Jubei was cut off. A pair of soft lips had pressed against him own. Kazuki's lips were covered in blood but the kiss was ever so sweet. "I know. I love you too." Kazuki whispered softly his hand on Jubei's tear-stricken cheek.
Then the hand left Jubei's cheek and feel limply. Jubei felt a chill run down his spine as he no longer felt the beating of Kazuki's beautiful heart. He was gone. That was it.
Eternity. He had never told Kazuki how much he loved him but he had made a promise when he was still alive. He had promised that they would be together for eternity. If there was one thing to say about Jubei Kakei was that he always kept his promises.
With the utmost reluctance Jubei gently laid the lifeless body on the cold pavement. Then bending down he kissed the forehead for the last time. Tears feel mercilessly from his eyes, then with a trembling hand he held a long sharp needle in his hand and pointed it to his broken heart.
There was no scream or shout of anguish. Only the soft thump as the second lifeless body dropped next to the first.
Jubei laid dying next to Kazuki's body. "I love you Kazuki…" He whispered with his last breath.
It would be ok. Everything would be alright. Jubei had kept his promise. Jubei Kakei and Kazuki Fuchoin would be together, through life and death. Together for Eternity.
