Here's an alternate ending I thought up for Sinner. It's not much better but it makes the story worse.
Sinner Ending #2
Tala and Kai pretended nothing happened. They acted as if they were still like they were before they even started the whole thing, even when no one was around. It wasn't until Spain when Tala thought of just letting it all go for the sake of not going insane. Tala laid awake, worried that for some reason he wasn't right about anything. Maybe revenge on Boris was wrong and he should just let himself want Kai in all the wrong ways, maybe he should just admit to what Kai had said was right. "You disgusting fool."
"Are you still up?" The only other voice called from the other bed in the room not too far from Tala, it was Kai.
Tala was surprised at first but then he sat up slowly. He ran his fingers through his loose red hair that still only hung to his shoulders. "Yeah, and I take you are too."
"Kind of obvious, I mean I don't talk like that in my sleep like this do I?" The voice sounded bothered by something that the other boy knew he would probably never get to hear.
The Russian smiled. "I wouldn't know," He started knowing he'd get some weird or bad response out of saying it. "I never listen to you when I watch you sleep."
"You don't watch me sleep." The reply was simple emotionless and with out any sign of humor.
"How would you know?" Tala was sort of upset by that comment his teammate had given him. "You're sleeping." There was silence and then Kai just simple laughed at something that the other boy hadn't picked up on. "What's so funny now?"
Tala watched as Kai stood up in one motion without pause. "Well," Tala was sort of concerned with Kai's action now. He did not want to be near Kai unnecessarily. It reminded him of the last time Kai inched closer but thinking of the outcome of the last time, Tala decided he just might want Kai to play his stupid little game. "If you watch me sleep," Kai was now sliding on his confused friend's bed. It made Tala change his mind.
"Just please," Tala began to scoot away from the Japanese boy. It was wrong, or so he believed. "You're sick for thinking like that, for thinking you'd like that. You're terrible." The redhead's mind scolded him for letting the thought of wanting it to happen again be in his mind at all.
Kai shook his head. "I'm not going to do anything." The bluenette seemed sort of hurt by his childhood friend saying those words. "I wouldn't do that to anyone, I was only messing beforeā¦" He trailed off thinking of how cruel it was to mess with Tala of all people like that.
"What're you doing then?" The taller of the two asked, his eyes watching Kai intently even if he didn't want to, he couldn't stop them.
Kai laid down after pulling the sheets over himself. "I don't like you being afraid of me, yet I want to..." He sat up trailing off again stopping himself slowly. He just sat staring at the wall in front of them he was sort of out of it.
That scared Tala even more. "Kai, it's just not right." He had only one more thing to say, but the more he thought about it the more he was afraid it wasn't true. "I'm not like that," And then with uncertainly he added after silence, "I don't think so."
Kai sighed shaking his head at his friend. "It's not wrong. It's human," He looked at Tala with a smile. "Boris was wrong, we're not." Tala hugged his legs under the blankets. He wanted to believe it but he still let his mind know that he knew it was wrong. "It's okay, it happens."
"No, it's not." The redhead shook his head and let it fall on his knees. The Japanese boy just lay down in Tala's bed and got comfortable. "What're you doing?"
The bluenette just shrugged. "Thought you wanted to talk, I'm still tired from earlier. Something I think you're so harsh you could send a feather through boulder." Tala just let out one short chuckle. "But then, you'd never hurt any of us." Kai added very quietly, not sure it the redhead heard but he did.
"No, I don't think I would." But then a voice in his head spoke almost simultaneously. "I'm pretty sure I would." He lay down too. "Are you staying here after the tournament?"
"Nhn," Kai started but feeling the usual comfort he felt around his Russian friend he went on. "If I don't beat Tyson, which isn't likely, then I'll stay."
They sat up talking about the past battles and what had to be done. It was about four in the morning when Tala had realized he had fallen asleep. His took a blurry look over the room. It was a comfortable warm, something he wasn't used to, in the air condition hotel room. Kai moved on the other side of the bed, this startled Tala. "You're just disgusting." Something had over come Tala as he slowly got up and walked to the bathroom closing the door. He looked at himself in the mirror.
"Nasty being, you are just like Boris." His reflection scolded him. He shoes to stare at the sink. "Do you want to do what he did?"
Tala shook his head. "No," He breathed pleading his reflection. He wanted it to disappear.
"No?" The voice and reflection asked, they were clearly his but he just wasn't himself. "Really now, why not?"
He took the mirror once it began to laugh. He dropped it on the floor and stepped on it, leaning his weight on it until it finally cracked into large pieces. "It's just not right." The Russian whispered. "We're just not right." He picked up a piece of the mirror and walked into the room and sat on the bed. He leaned over his Japanese friend who slept next to him. He drug the sharp on the mirror across Kai's neck. It didn't matter that the boy woke up. As Tala saw it he'd be sleeping soon anyways. Not too long after he found himself trying to inhale the water in the full bath tub hanging over the side. It was his fault, why did he get to die quickly?
It was obviously clear it wasn't a double suicide. Since when Bryan came in at six, Tala was still pretty much alive. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Tala heard Bryan yell as he pulled out of the tub. "You're really messed up!" You could hear passerbys in the hallway screaming at the bloody mess which was Kai. It wasn't too long after that the police showed up.
Everyone must have seen as he was pulled away without a fight. At least the voice was gone. A few weeks later Tala found himself in the court room. He really was loosing track of where he was and when. "This is the case of Tala Ivanov for the murder of Kai Hiwatari." Tala seriously couldn't recall doing it. The Russian was in denial. But he really hardly spoke, worse than usual. His whole vocabulary consisted of four words: Yes, no, Kai, and what.
The Judge droned on. Tala ignored it. He just looked at the table in front of him. He knew who was in the room. Just about everyone from the world championships. The Blitzkrieg Boys were obviously disqualified; Bryan and Spencer hadn't been seen by Tala since that day. "How do you plea?"
The redhead looked up at the judge. "Guilty." He spoke softly. He knew he would have been the only one that could have done it. But he saw the pictures, how could he do that to Kai.
"Insanity, your honor." The lawyer Tala had somehow gotten stood and spoke.
Tala simply glared at him. "No, I obviously did it!" He burst out just glaring up at the older man. "I want to be killed for it! I don't want to get off on killing him. Who the fuck hired you?"
"Tala..." The lawyer warned him more out of fear of the sudden out break.
"I am guilty. I perfectly sane to realize what I did, and I want to take the punishment to the fullest extent of the law." The redhead hoped that had put him to death, with his luck it was going to be sitting in prison the rest of his life.
The lawyer shook his head. "Clearly he is insane, I claim insanity." He sat down and whispered to Tala, "That's a good plan, I almost fell for it. Now they'll really let you off." They did let Tala off. He was now placed in a ward. Open visiting rights, which he had to deal with everyone's crap for something he didn't even remember, and here it was where he'd die of old age...
?
If I could only end a story so, he might be at peace eventually. Tyson sat at the other end of the table staring at the Russian. "What would compel you to do such a thing to Kai, sure he's a complete, or was, a complete arse but still, Kai?" The Granger sat there confused he obviously was crying. It had only been about a month. Certainly he wouldn't just get over it. He did think they were friends no matter how much Kai would deny it.
"If you truly want to know, next time you come you'll bring me something useful. This place is so freaked by the patients their tables are even padded." Tala stated not entirely sure of what he wanted but he certainly didn't want to be alive, he was still wrong, corrupt. Maybe he was done hearing the voice but he was convinced right and wrong.
Tyson shook his head. "I'm not going to help you kill your self."
"Then fine," Tala glared at the Japanese boy. "You're pathetic. You can't even let a person who kills die." He could get into people's heads, hopefully he still could. "Kai would've wanted revenge. He would've wanted me dead. He would've wanted me down the second I did it."
"Shut up," Bryan glared from the corner of the room. Why were there free visiting rights? "Kai would've wanted you to go the same way he did." The slate haired boy walked over slipping a small bag out of his sleeve passing so no one but Tala and Tyson would see. Spencer was nowhere to be found. The bag was marked 'Evidence'. "He would've wanted it that way. I'm proud of you."
Tala took the bag with a small smile. "Thanks, Bry." Tyson got up with a shocked face and covered his mouth. Bryan stood there waiting. Boris had really messed them all up. "You guys better leave." Tala spoke quietly not wanting Bryan to get in trouble. Bryan forced Tyson out of the room with him.
"This is what's right. I was what was wrong."
This is a better ending in my opinion. It's meaner probably not more liked. I kind of got a little lazy, and it's not more interesting. Sorry if I ruined it for anyone, but there's one more ending to go. Ha!
I'm starting a role play community if anyone wants to join everyone's still free besides Tala, and Max and your OC s are very welcome. Tell me if you want more information.
