But You Will Be Safe In My Arms.
Cold, brisk air whipped her hair around her as she held a limp body in her thin yet strong arms. Glancing up at her attacker and killer, tears pooled in the back of her eyes, dropping onto the bloody face of the corpse, mingling with the blood splattered onto it.
Despite her dead Meister, she cradled him closer to her bosom, not willing to give him up. As the killer raised his tainted sword, she flinced, instinctively ducking her head to protect her meister even though it was far too late for him. She shuddered once, and clutched his body more tightly.
'At least we're going down together,' She thought, a bittersweet feeling blossoming inside of her.
And at that, the sword swooped down, claiming his broken and willing victim in a flash of red.
Waking up with a jolt, she gasped, breathing in deep gulps of air. Sweat dripped down the side of her face, and she put a hand to her chest, as if it would stop her rapid heart beat.
"Tsubaki?" Whipping her head to the side, she saw him enter the room quietly, and crouch down beside her bed.
"Black*Star.." she whispered brokenly, and as her voice cracked on the last part of his name, the tears that threatened to fall, fell. She threw herself at his arms, burrowing her head in chest, weeping miserably. She knew it was just a dream, just a nightmare. But just the thought of it made her heart shatter into pieces.
"Shh..It's ok, Tsubaki. It's ok." Offering words of reassurance, Black*Star stroked the top of her head softly, whispering soft words to her, his embrace firm and protective. "What happened?" He asked quietly, after her weeping fell into deep shuddering breaths.
She hiccupped, and shook her head in his chest, her grip on his shirt bunching it up. "It…it was horrible, Black*Star…I..I was afraid you were dead.." She whimpered, tears falling fresh once more.
Black*Star smiled, pulling her closer to him. "Tsubaki.." He lifted her chin, gently, but made her meet his gaze. As he stared into those dark pools of blue, he gave her his trade-mark grin. "You should know that was a false dream, for I, the one who'll surpass god, will never die."
Despite the horrible memories of her past dream, Tsubaki smiled. He never failed in bringing that to her.
"You're right.." She whispered, nodding her head to his words. He grinned wider if possible, and wiped her tears away gently with his thumb.
"Now then," he scooped her up in his arms, and Tsubaki gave a cry at the sudden decision. He layed her in her bed, brushing the hair from her face. "Off to bed you go, Tsubaki." He leaned down and kissed her forehead, his hand resting on her soft cheek before he pulled away.
Tsubaki closed her eyes, a blush arising to her neck and face, and she snuggled into her pillow. As he closed the door behind him, he whispered something, not knowing she heard what he said. "And I'd never let you die..you'll always be safe with me."
As the door creaked shut, another tear rolled down Tsubaki's eyes, but of knowing. She nodded to herself, drifting off into a deep sleep.
"I know, Black*Star, I know.." She mumbled to herself.
She had dreams of the man she loved that night. He surpassed God.
