A/N: this will probably be the end of Uspeakable because I don't know where to take it and it seems like a nice ending anyway...(oh yeah once more this is not to put the NYPD down...they're probably great)


Tohma stepped out of the police station, making bail of $1,000 American dollars. The police had regrettably had to let him go since the evidence they arrested him on was less than substantial and other than knowing Kitazawa, they had in the first place no way of tying him to the murder much less the aiding and abetting of it. Moreover they had pinpointed Eiri was a witness, not a suspect, and even if they had because their only witness was deceased they'd again had no way of pinning anything on him.

Making the police look like fools was one of the perks of the days for Tohma regardless to the fact he'd almost ended up in a prison cell. He shivered not fancying the idea of spending the rest of his life incarcerated. He was far too prominent and famous to be locked away.

So what if he had aided and abetted a horrendous murder; he'd done so out of the love in his heart he'd felt for Eiri, a misguided youth that had been betrayed in a foul way. Since when was it a crime to protect someone you cared for. The last time he checked nobility and love of that kind was rewarded with good fortune bestowed on him by Buddha not meaty and tough Americandetectives with their New York accents.

He sighed and got into the back of a limo followed by his lawyer who simply shook his head. "Tohma, Tohma, Tohma…"

"Shinohara…You should really relax. I told you they had nothing on me."

"You have nothing left."

"Exactly." He looked to the man. "They can't take from me something that has already been taken." He returned quietly then looked out the window.


A/N: this is falling on someone's theater that Tohma depended on Eiri…not the other way around..(Tohma's delusion)
