Disclaimer: I do not own Uraboku and the characters that was forcibly placed into this story for my own sadistic pleasure.
So...I haven't update this story for a REALLY long time...don't know why, but I wasn't sure what to do write really.
Btw, I left the honorfics behind, I didn't add them in because it kind of disrupts the flow.
"Luka you have to do something, he's not giving in..." Tsumoko said silently as he munched on a cookie.
"What do you suggest I do?" Luka kicked himself off the way he was leaning against.
"I'm sure you can create some illusion. He wants to see that man, you can deceive him and lure him out by pretending to be him." Shusei joined in.
Luka nodded and considered this, deep inside he felt a bit hurt. Showing full compassion for Yuki didn't work at all. He loved Kanata for a longer time, the current Yuki that is. It was the cruel wheel of fate that made them collapse together.
"But isn't that unfair to Luka?" Toko interjected, she threw Luka a worried glance.
Luka closed his eyes, if it was Yuki's happiness, he was willing to do anything just to revive his smile. He opened his eyes, his goal was set. He didn't care what he did, he just want Yuki to be alive again. Illusion, was it?
"Sounds good," Luka finally said.
Luka knocked on the door, as expected, he received no response. He frowned and sighed. Although he was no master in creating illusions, he remembered time when Elegy did it. She showed him a trick when he was with the Opasts. Although he knew the trick to it, Elegy was a master in creating illusions to stir doubt and fear into the heart.
Yuki was weak at the moment, so he wouldn't be able to differentiate what was real and fake. Luka pressed into the door a bit deeper and the door creaked as it opened.
Luka closed his eyes and an image of Kanata crept into his mind, the illusion would begin.
"K-Kanata? Am I hallucinating?" It was working. Luka smiled when he finally heard the liveliness in his beloved's voice. He stepped forward, allowing the mutual invitation to swallow him in. But he stood and gaped at the horror. Yuki looked hollow, deathly and on the edge of death's door. His lips chapped and dry as a sun-dried raisin, his eyes swollen and hollow. He immediately abandoned his cover and ran over to Yuki's side.
"Luka!" Yuki quickly shriveled up, he grabbed onto the white blankets.
"Yuki, please, forget that man!" Luka grabbed hold of Yuki's frail shoulders. He was slowly losing his patience and calmness when he saw how damaged Yuki was. Inside, he felt very selfish, deep down inside he despised the current Yuki whenever he desired the man who betrayed him. He desired the old Yuki, the Yuki that loved him and he loved her. Their love was mutual and even in the face of death, Yuki loved him and not some other man.
"I can't Luka...I'm sorry...I can never be the old Yuki that you loved...I can never forget Kanata, he's so dear to me..." Right then and there, Yuki fainted. Luka quickly lifted Yuki off the bed and ran out of the room.
"How's Yuki?" The Zweilts asked all at once when they caught sight of Luka exiting the infirmary room.
"He fainted, from dehydration and hunger." Luka said.
"Thank goodness, you saved him on time," Toko said and folded her hands in a praying position.
"This can't keep going on..." Shusei said.
"What do you suggest we should do?" Hotsuma asked.
"I don't know...perhaps staying here isn't healthy for him. But going back to square one isn't going to be great either." Shusei sighed.
"We shall worry about that later," Tachibana said. "Right now, we should focus on recovering and planning for the future. Luka will look after Yuki."
Everyone tried to digest Tachibana's reassuring words, but they felt like throwing them up instead. However, they knew better.
"Kanata...please...come back..." Yuki began to cry out. Luka brushed the teardrops away, how can he leave his beloved alone with this agony?
"Yuki, I'm right here..." Luka laced his fingers in between Yuki's.
Yuki's face lightened up a bit, his lips curled into a cordial smile. "Kanata, I miss you..."
How long can Luka take? But he forgot about his own anguish when Yuki held onto his hand even tighter. His mood mellowed and he ran a hand through Yuki's hair. He missed the long strands, but the short and soft texture would do.
"I'll always be here Yuki. I..." Luka began, but couldn't find himself finishing the sentence.
"Will you forgive me?" Yuki asked with a sorrowful expression. His eyes were nailed shut, but they were quivering.
"...Yes, Yuki I already forgave you...I want you to be happy...even without me." Luka felt wicked, he fed Yuki words of deception. But he knew if Kanata really loved Yuki, he would forgive him. It didn't matter, Yuki needed to move on.
"I wish we can stay together forever Kanata," Yuki smiled again.
"I love you Yuki," Luka lifted the fragile hand up to his lips and gave it a gentle peck. Although it was an affectionate moment, Luka was hurt deeply.
The wound was bleeding deeply.
Oh, man nonsensical stuff. I'm just bashing the joint.
Anyways, this is the end to the tragedy. I'm leaving this as a completed piece.
And no...I have not read the recent chapters of Uraboku, so I have no idea what's going on beyond what the anime has showed me.
Time to write kinky shit...featuring KanataxYuki lol...
