Something like Suicide

Day Zero

Natsuki closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air. The sun would be rising soon, not that he would see it very well the village below was a blaze, screams had died down and all that was left was regret. He felt the sharp pain enter his chest. No, he knew it was coming before it even happened and still did nothing to move out of the way.

"I missed you." Her voice tickled his ear. She smelled of a warm summers day even in the mist of winter. Perhaps that is way he didn't move. If anyone were to kill him, if he would have to die, it should only be fitting that he went by her hands.

"I've been waiting for you." He croaked out.

"How long?"

"It feels like a millennium."

"I saw you. When you talked to Kaoru at the festival. I didn't think I'd ever have the chance to see you again."

"Tomochika..."

" I go by Tomo." She laughed.

"What are you doing here?" His voice strained as she twisted the sharp metal into his chest.

"My master sent me. But it seems you took interest in his target. It's to bad things ended like this. I rather liked this place."

"I see," Natsuki mumbled. "So he survived. For two hundred years you both let us believe you were dead."

"That.." Tomo said sadly, her red eyes looking at the village rather than her old friend. "was not a choice I was able to make. I just wanted to say my final good byes before gong back to my master."

Natsuki closed his already blurring eyes. "Is that all?"

Her lip quivered, hands loosened. After a moment she said in a soft, gentle voice that he hasn't heard in two hundred long years. "Yes."

"Good bye Tomochika." Natsuki murmured.

Her eyes watered. Lickig her chapped lips she uttered. "The snow taste just like back them."

OoO

Kaoru scoured the house forcing his friend to separate from him to cover more rooms. There was no trace of anyone ever being there. His brother, those vampires were no where to be seen. On weak legs he made his way back to the front door. He looked out to see the horizon light with a furious red. He checked over his should for Nagi before making his way to the undergrowth.

He had a clear view of the village. He could plainly see a very dead vampire facedown in the snow. And despite everything he clutched his chest as he howled with laughter. He couldn't believe it. It was over. The place he hated was burned to the ground, all but Nagi and he were dead, and Syo was missing.

He grasped his head pulling at the blonde locks, hysteria taking over. He couldn't believe it. He was so fucking happy. The happiest he had ever been.

"I'm so glad! I hate, no hated, this place so much. So why?" His lip quivered, hand releasing his hair working it's way down to his eyes. They dripped with the emotion he couldn't feel. "Why am I crying?"

His blue eyes looked up at the twilight sky. From that spot it looked like a picture framed with the leaveless branches. This spot... And the sky that Natsuki loved so much.

He closed his eyes searching his soul. He felt noting from his twin. Was he alive? Was he dead? That connection they had was broken. They were still two halves to the same whole, but they weren't put together anymore.

"Was I hoping for this all along? This freedom from not only this place but from you?"

"Kaoru?" Nagi called, his voice echoed through the woods, dead and flat.

"Thank you." Kaoru whispered before heading back to the young teen. The cold chill of the winter wind was the only answer he had received.

OoO

Lots of things have happened in the two years that we've been parted. I'm still not a thousand percent sure if you are alive. But writing down everything that happened has become a habit now. One of the many things that has changed is I am now an author. I wanted people to know what happened to us, but words and events were slightly altered. Backgrounds were deepened dates and names were changed. Maybe you've seen it on shelves? I named it Night Realm.

Nagi's with me now, I treat him like a little brother. He's not spoken much these last two years, but after all we've been through I can't blame him. He was quite fearful at first. He knew that Eiichi would come after him, but the strangest part... We found him dead when we went back. He and that blue haired one that Otoya liked so much. I may never know who did it but I don't care. Nagi is safe, that is what matters.

I've been in touch with Cecil. At first he didn't believe me and demanded he and Camus return immediately, claiming that it was a joke gone to far. But I had Camus tell me his address. I personally delivered that letter Reiji gave me. Strangely enough it was not addressed to Cecil, but rather 'Myu-chan'. And the tiniest part he wrote to me was almost scary. He told me when there was nothing left to go back to keep moving forwards. How cliché. I'm pretty sure he stole that from an anime.

But I followed his advice and moved to Tokyo. Nagi is in high school and I made it to the university I wanted. Each day I want to cry as I go there though. I have to pass the music department that Otoya would be in right now. But I hold back the tears. I'd hate to have my new friend see me cry...

You know he's pretty funny, I'm sure you'd like him.

I got a letter in the mail. It had no return address and was from 'Master'. Though it was obviously a letter from Natsuki explaining what he was and how he lived. It really help me write my book.

"Nagi?" Kaoru knocked on his door. "I'm headed out now. Keep the for locked.

The short 'Okay' was barely audible.

Grabbing his books off the table, the blonde rushed out. Stumbling down the stairs of his apartment building he ran head first into his friend. They both had a chuckle before a hand was held out to help the blonde up.

"I have to run to my editor as well. Is that okay Aine?" Kaoru looked at the cyan haired man.

"Only if you don't mind me dragging you to e hospital for my check up." He smiled.

"Oh and have that chance of meeting that lovely father of yours?" Sarcasm oozed from his voice. "I'd rather be gagged then see him again."

"Hopefully he won't be working today."

"You say that every time." Kaoru's blue eyes looked up at the crosswalk sign. They were met with the san blue, the same hair, and the same face. It was as if he we looking in a mirror, because not only was he there but Aine too.

It's been so long and many things have changed. Not just for me but for you too. And with all the people in the world and all the places we could have been, the chances of us meeting were one in a billion... Yet here we stand, two sides to the same coin, just like the sun and the moon

Yup that's the end.

Thank you to everyone who faved, followed, and reviewed. Also thanks to you who might review.

I do plan to have a prequel and a sequel... probably.

And Night realm is an original novel I plan to write. But I'm lazy...

That's it, bye. See you in the next story
