Title: Tears
Day #11: "Where's Yuuto?" Shun does not know how to answer Ruri's question
When Shun sees Ruri again, it is like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders. Ruri looked tired and weary, but she was safe.
Ruri looks around with tearful eyes.
"Where's Yuuto?"
This was the moment. The moment that has been haunting Shun's dreams. Two words. Two words that he can never run away from.
-o-
Kurosaki Shun does not cry. Tears do not revive the dead nor comfort the living. Yet when the light cleared and only the boy with Yuuto's face was left and his best friend no where to be seen, Shun leaves. He walks back to his room and cries.
Shun knew what it means when you lose. He curses. At the boy who didn't move quickly enough. At the world that sent Academia chasing them. At Yuuto who was too emotional. Too human to let an innocent boy die.
When that boy, Yuuya, summons Dark Rebellion Shun knows its over. You live and die by your cards and Yuuto's favorite card was no longer his.
-o-
Shun looks at Ruri who stares at him pleadingly waiting for any answer.
" … Shun?"
Shun lets weakness show through for the first time.
"… He's gone."
