Time, Death, and the Boy

/-/-/

Time's going by,

Arms of the clock stopping.

The shorter arm, no longer moving.

The longer arm, weeping for its loss of partner.

/-/-/

Seconds seems so slow,

Yet the days speeds by so fast.

But it means nothing,

For Death himself.

/-/-/

But all of the sudden,

A boy appeared with his heart on the sleeve.

This made Death comes closer to him,

Being greedy of such a soul.

/-/-/

He had caused chaos,

Misery to break the boy.

But the boy remain pure,

Though broken-hearted.

/-/-/

Suddenly,

Death had an idea.

"I'll just become human,

And take his soul as mine!"

/-/-/

He went and did so,

Planning on how to take the boy's soul.

Then all of the sudden,

The boy came with his friends in hope to stop Death-in-disguise.

/-/-/

"Why must you hurt my friends?!"

The boy cried out as he saw his friends gets hurt.

But Death was also attracted to the boy again,

By a weak small fire on the boy's forehead.

/-/-/

He watches the boy struggles,

Trying to win against Death himself.

But he himself only knew,

That no one can defeat him in battles.

/-/-/

"But why try so hard to protect them?"

Death asked suddenly.

He was shocked but the boy?

He only have an answer for that.

/-/-/

"Because they are my friends, my family!

That's why I want to protect them,

To spend some times with them and cherish it with all of my heart!"

The boy answered so innocently with such pureness, his fire growing with each words!

/-/-/

Death was shocked,

then began to laugh as he shook his head.

"What's your name?"

The boy asked, his flames attracting Death himself.

/-/-/

Death just stands there with his trident,

Staring at the boy with his heterochromatic eyes.

Seconds, or was it days?, passed by him,

Until he finally answered.

/-/-/

"Rokudo Mukuro."

This made the boy smile,

A smile that only made Death feel,

A smile that started something warm inside of his soul.

/-/-/

The boy just did it so easily!

His hands out reached toward to Death,

Accepting of who he is as he says something.

"My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi!"

/-/-/

Those five words,

Was all Death needed to stay around the boy.

Watching over him he saw him turn into something more,

Into an angel with out wings.

/-/-/

Death was elated,

But he knew that this, too, would pass.

For he had known the death of the angel was coming so soon,

By a bullet to the heart of his that he proudly wore on outside...

/-/-/

This makes me depressed in a way.

Yes this is Mukuro x Tsuna poem.

Squint, you might see love scene, but not much of it.
