This is my first Shonen Onmyoji fanfic(obviously). So, NO FLAMES, please. I'll really like it if you reviewed.

This is in Rikugo's POV, as he griefs over Kazane's death.

Grief

The evening sun's rays lit the room up with a dim red colour. At one corner of the room, Touda (A/N: Yes, Touda, not Mokkun.) and Kouchin were talking to each other. What they were discussing about, Rikugo did not know.

Leaning against the wall, Rikugo let his eyes wander around the room. It stopped when Masahiro, Akiko, Suzaku and Tenitsu came into sight. Suzaku had his head on Tenitsu's lap, resting, while Masahiro and Akiko were leaning against each other. They were all chatting with each other.

Rikugo looked at them. Looking, not staring. It must have a good sensation, resting on the one you love. If only he could feel that. That thought brought him back to three months ago...

"I...have done...something irreversible..."

"Don't talk."

"I'm...sorry...Even though...it's a little late..."

"Kazane, it's all right. Don't talk."

"This is... so foolish of me...I was..so...foolish..."

Rikugo placed his hands around her, pulling her into an embrace.

"I should've...taken your hand...Rikugo..."

"It's Saiki."

"Sai..."

"Saiki. No one else knows. It's my one true name."

"Saiki..."

Rikugo held her even tighter. Kazane placed her hand on Rikugo's chest.

"I don't want to...be alone...anymore...Can I be next to you?"

"Be next to me."

"Sai...ki..."

Kazane's hand falls to the ground. So does her necklace. Rikugo's eyes widen for a second, and it narrows again.

The cold wind blows, bringing her soul to the Netherworld.

"Nth." Rikugo clenched his teeth and fists together. Why? Why does it have to be her?

Masahiro seemed to have heard the sound Rikugo made. "Rikugo? Are you okay?"

Rikugo relaxed immediately. "I'm fine."

"If you say so..." Masahiro turned back.

They looked so happy, smiling and laughing. That small group of four. Everyone had finally acknowledged the fact that Masahiro was to become Seimei's successor, and they have gotten along with him well. Rikugo knew that Masahiro and Seimei were worrying about his current behavior, always sitting alone, refusing to communicate with others.

His reason for acting like that:

He wanted to see her one more time.

Just one last time...

So that concludes the fanfic. Yeah, it's quite short. I thought that episode was quite sad, having to watch it to write the above part. Well, please remember to review! If you can correct any mistakes I made, please don't hesitate to tell me!
