Author: Phaeton

Rating: PG
Warnings: character deaths

Author's Notes: I'm depressed, otherwise I would never do that to my Touda. Please forgive me.



Three days after the wake Suzaku comes for him. Touda remains seated on the rooftop, doesn't even look at her. Ever since he felt Tsuzuki vanish from his mind he was waiting for the inevitable to happen.

"Any last words?"

Her voice is unusually gentle. Maybe she does understand him a bit after all. Killing Touda isn't revenge or execution, it's the coup de grâce. Without Tsuzuki there's nothing left worth existing for.

He shakes his head and lies back to offer his throat. As she lifts the sword over her head Touda closes his eyes and thinks of Tsuzuki.
