It was over…it was all over. The fight with the Colourless King had ended. Everyone thought that it'll all be all right in the end. True enough, it was.
But for certain clans and a King, none of it will ever be all right.
Suoh Mikoto is dead.
That was the first shock. Many expected it but none had really been prepared for it to actually happen. Killed by the Blue King as his Sword of Damocles fell, he at least managed to avenge his fallen comrade. Finally paying that bastard who took away one of his most important people back was his goal after all.
And maybe, he could finally be reunited with Totsuka Tatara at wherever he was now.
Isana Yashiro is dead.
That was the second shock. No one expected the first King, Adolf K. Weismann, now called Isana Yashiro, to die. Dying by the hand of the Red King, Isana Yashiro had made sure not to let the soul of the Colourless King escape from within his body. Telling the Red King to kill him while he held the Colourless King back was the only option. It was indeed a noble sacrifice.
The two members of his clan believe that he still lives and waits for his return as they, in the form of a black dog (how befitting of Kuroh) and cat, leave the island with their beloved King's favourite belonging.
He did say he was immortal…it wouldn't hurt to hope, right?
HOMRA would never be the same.
They had lost their King. They had lost the very person who brought them together, the one who made them feel like they belonged somewhere (in one way or another).
They grieved. They grieved for a long time but knew that they had to move on.
After all, Mikoto wouldn't want them grieving for him.
Munakata Reisi would forever be haunted with the fact that he had been the one to take the Red King's life.
He wanted to avoid that outcome. He wanted to save Mikoto. Not kill him.
It was unavoidable. He knew.
That's why, as the Red King's Sword of Damocles fell and seeing that look of acceptance (or was it resignation?) on the redhead's face, Munakata steeled himself as he ran his sword through his (old?) friend.
"Sorry... Anna…I won't be able to show you that lovely red anymore…"
Those were the last words he heard from him as Mikoto drew his last breath. He knew it would be painful for the Red Clan to lose their King like this... especially for that child who dearly loved Mikoto as her brother.
"You really were…foolish, Suoh."
Sacrificing one life for the sake of over a hundred was something Munakata Reisi had chosen to do, no matter how much it hurt him.

Yet another drabble from me. And it's still angst. -sigh- I really couldn't help but type all of this out after watching the final episode of [K]. The ending killed a lot of hearts, didn't it? But hey, at least we're getting a sequel, right?
Besides, there is still the chance that Mikoto and Shiro might come back. (It wouldn't hurt to hope, right?)
"尊、あなたの赤は。。。まだ暖かい" (Mikoto, your red...it's still warm.)

See? Maybe...ah feck it. Let's just wait for the sequel.

I as supposed to post this earlier (around 4am) but my mom pulled the plug off of the router for the wifi so...anyway, here it is. Hope you all enjoy it. Also, don't worry. I don't mind being chased by torches and pitchforks. Also, now that I look at it, it feels a bit incomplete...oh well, I'll just edit it when I want some changes...
