My Life Is Brilliant


Chapter 6: Loveless Triumph


A/N: Special thank to Brokensahrdsofmyheart99, who would've checked this if there had been time. I can't recall why I was going to change this to an M rating, so I'm sticking with a T. Thank you for the reviews. This is the last chapter. Thanks for all the support!


It was over. In an instant, everything had ended. The lies, the romance, the secrets, the love. The sounds of fighting still remained, though. Every time he looked up, he could still see the vivid images. They had been real, though. It had all been real. And because it was real, it ended in a bitter way. A tragedy.

Even though enough time had dashed by, he had yet to get up to his feet. There wasn't a single step he could take that wouldn't involve him getting sullied. Not that it mattered, he was the one that had spread impurity. Admitting it, he stood up, shaking.

Stepping forward, he felt the floor drenched and tacky. Taking in a deep breath, he went over to one side of the room. There were shards of broken glass on the floor, which pricked his feet as he walked. Reaching the door, he stood in front of it. Closing his eyes, he opened the door and exited the room and apartment house.

Outside many spectators had gathered. They looked on as he struggled to climb down the steps, trying to get away from the bloodbath. He shook his head. There were plenty of things he wanted to get away from, but the blood was the least of them at the moment.

Three Months Later

"So what happened afterwards?" The dark-haired man drank from his cup of coffee. "How did it end?" he asked, leaning forward, as if to hear better.

"Both died," he answered, looking down at his cup. "It was… There are two things that make their deaths daft. The first is that when they finally killed each other, they didn't bother to fight with everything they had. And the second… They were driven by the idea that there was no other solution. Envy or avarice, or both was what really at the heart of it all. It was never about love."

Kaito looked up at him, frowning. "Wouldn't that make you a fool as well?"

"Yes, you're right." Kurama took a sip of his coffee. "I was a fool for believing in love and for following my heart. Above all, I'm a fool for being just like them. I wanted both and didn't want to give up either." He paused, knotting his eyebrows together. Kurama laughed at himself. "That might have been the solution, Kaito. Leaving them both could have prevented it."

"You did, didn't you?"

Looking up at the sky, Kurama shrugged. "I'm not certain of that, Kaito."

End.
