Okay active story readers, I am sad to say this Fanfic is coming to an end. I'm not sure if this will be the last chapter, or if there will be an epilogue or what…because I've been making this up as I go. Lol. But I'm proud to say that I will be writing other fanfics, hopefully as quick as I did this one, so please read them as well! P.S. sorry for the long wait... Now on to the chapter!
Hands moved all along the water creatures sides, pulling at his scales and tearing at his flesh. The man ground in his teeth as he searched for a way to tear off what he believed was a new style of pants. The woman, obviously more drunk than her friend, held down the scared boy's hands. He cried out, not used to such abuse, to the admiral for help. He was again at a loss, for the admiral lay dying in the ocean, a pool of water that he didn't belong.
"How the hell do you take this off?" yelled the man at Watanuki who wiggled and struggled in the two humans' grasps. He kept his mouth shut. He would not talk to a human who had stabbed his friend.
"Stay still!" he ordered, but Watanuki continued to wiggle around on the sharp rocks. Frustrated he lifted his hand and brought it down with ferocity, leaving a large red mark across his face. The sound of flesh striking flesh resounded throughout the area.
Doumeki looked up as best he could, just in time to see his friend get slapped. He felt his heart fall with that sudden act of violence. Even though his heart ached, he felt strength surge. He stood in the water, which rippled out ward when he moved. He moved his head up, pulling his chest with it, straightening his back. He yelled, "Watanuki!"The boy looked back out at the water, tears staining his face.
"Watanuki, I have my wish," he paused. The man and woman holding Watanuki down turned to look at the bleeding man screaming out in the water. All eyes were on the admiral. He took in a deep breath of salty air and said, "I want you to be a human, with me in a house by the sea. You can go back to world any time, and I would be free from my duty as admiral." Watanuki sighed and looked away.
"Is that really what you want? It would give me freedom too…"he said. The man who had caused the main problem of that day became angry that hew wasn't being considered in this conservation. He raised hi hand and slapped the crying boy beneath him.
"Shut up you whore." He said. Watanuki clamped his mouth shut tight. He was terrified and hurting. He didn't know what to do. He cried. His sobs were hard and long. He hand and back were beginning to bleed for the scrapping of the rocks. The man began to claw at his stomach, leaving deep red marks that resembled gashes. Doumeki waded forward in the water, trailing his blood as he went. He had to get that disgusting drunk away from his friend, no matter the cost.
His fist to the face of the man the moment he got in range. The intoxicated woman screamed and shuffled up the bank. The man grumbled and looked at Doumeki.
"You should have died by now…" he said, Utterly confused.
"I don't die so easily. They didn't make me an admiral fro no reason." He said confidently. He stood straight up, doing his best to ignore the searing pain roaming around in his back and looked the man dead in the eye.
"Leave, or I will kill you." The man new that, even though his adversary was mortally wounded he would loose. He glared at the admiral the he too scrambled up the bank back into the town. When the man was gone out of sight the admiral collapsed out of pain. He knees hit the ground hard, causing them to bleed. Watanuki gasped. He crawled over across the sharp rocks to his friend. He was still crying. This was the first time in a long time that he had lost someone, and he wanted it to stay that way.
"What do you wish for…" he sobbed. Gently he placed his hand on the admirals shoulders and laid his head down between them.
"I want a nice house on the sea shore with three bedrooms and a dog. I want you by my side happy and uninjured without people like me chasing after you…trying to hurt you for their own gain…"
"i..wish granted…" Watanuki said hesitantly, "Close your eyes and go to sleep. When you wake up your wish will be granted." Tears streamed steadily down his face as he proceeded to grant his wish. The admiral smiled and laid down on the hard rocks going to easily to sleep. He was content.
