Chapter 9

Disclaimer:

I do not and never will own Yami no Matsuei or Tsuzuki T-T or Ruka.

I do own Semi though..well..sort of..I guess.

But I certainly own Masue Trigtan and Arto.

Just wondering how Ruka and Tsuzuki lived.

It's in Ruka's pov.

Warning for maybe violence, don't know yet.

I've also got to apologize for confusion but English isn't my first language so bare with me please.

Also I've got noted that the story is a bit confusing but just bare with me. Gomen for it - But I did found out how to use a spelling check -

The fic.

I signed as I shifted my weight from one side to the other as I sat on the uncomfortable chair. I hissed from stiffness. It was so unfair that I still felt all that while I was death. Wasn't I suppose to move on or something. I looked down at the young man in the corner of the room and signed again, I couldn't just leave him alone even though I couldn't do anything to help him.

I reached out with my hand and laid it on the place where my brothers hand laid. He looked at the wall with glassy eyes not aware of his surroundings. He hadn't talked, drank or slept since I died and it hurt me to see him so vulnerable in that bed. I saw movements from the corner of my eyes and hissed again, but this time of anger. Semi walked into the room and looked over at Tsuzuki. He smiled and leaned down to whip away a tear that rolled down his cheek." Having a bad dream baby?" I looked down at Tsuzuki and could see he was crying. He was whispering words that I couldn't understand completely except for my name that he repeated time after time. I felt tears run down my cheeks as I realized he was yet again having a nightmare even though he didn't sleep." Suki….why won't you wake up so we can get away from here. You should fight him….please fight him."

Tsuzuki didn't react on me, but then again how could he. He didn't even know I was there in the first place. Semi reached out for my brothers hand and pulled him up.

." Come on Asato. I've got a new experiment to test." He laughed evilly and horror came to me. ."No not again, please not again." I cried out as I tried to grab Semi's coat. But I knew I couldn't stop him, I never could. He did horrible things to my brother while he couldn't defend himself. He was trapped inside a nightmare in his mind. But also on the outside.

Tears appeared in his clouded eyes and it still confused me to see that they almost seem dark blue in stead of the normal purple. It made me think he did knew what was going on around him for a moment. But even though he cried he didn't fight Semi. Didn't have the strength to.

." Now now Asato, you don't have to cry. I won't let my precious die." He turned to my brother and whipped away the tears that had formed on his face again." Don't worry….You won't die….you never do, my love." He closed the inches between them and kissed him." NO!. Let him go." I begged him as tears ran down my cheeks violently. I tried to stop him but couldn't cause I couldn't touch anything. He pulled my brother with him to a different room and but Tsuzuki still didn't fight him. I couldn't see any emotion in his eyes and knew that he yet again wouldn't remember anything about it. That was the only bright side about his condition. I didn't follow him as he was leaded out of the room but let myself fall on the ground." Please let it stop. Let him die then." I was shocked by my words but I knew I meant them. It's been eight years now. If there wasn't any cure for him I didn't want him to continue to live like this. I didn't want him to be used for tests and other more horrible things.

He had tried before. Sometimes he came out of it and became aware again of what was going on around him. He tried to slit his right wrist time after time but before he could bleed out he would either be healed again or stopped by Semi.

Semi did everything he could to keep him alive as long as possible. He tried to feed him even though Tsuzuki didn't eat. He didn't sleep or drink. He even stopped aging after I died. But even though he didn't he showed no sign of weakening. Not even after eight years.

I cried silent tears when two man came inside. They both looked right at me and I shivered. It seemed like they could really see me. I stood up and whipped away my tears." Tsuzuki Ruka?" I blinked as the younger of the two man spoke." You can see me?" He nodded." Yes I can. I'm here to summon you to the count." I had no idea what he meant but he could see and hear me so I had to act fast." You've got to help my brother. He's hurting him." I walked to him." You have to leave the things like they are and come with me. You're being summoned by the count." I shook my head." You got to help my brother. Please help him." The younger looked irritated but I didn't care. They were my only chance on helping my brother." Look miss…" ." Arto wait." The older man looked at me as he stopped his partner. He looked toward the door and then suddenly disappeared. I blinked. That was magic….but somehow it didn't frighten me. I looked at the guy that was named Arto when the door opened and Semi walked inside. He looked satisfied and I felt sick as I watched him." Hello can I help you?" Anger came to me and I tried to hit him even though I knew I would fall right through him. I was surprised when I felt my fist connect with his jaw in a hard punch. He lost his balance at my punch and fell onto the ground hard. I looked at my hand. I had hit him while I was angry. Was anger the key to touch stuff. I didn't get a chance to test it out when I felt an invisible hand grab mine and pull me through the open door.

As it closed behind me I saw the older man appear again. He smiled at me." I'm Masue Trigtan, but call me Masue. I'm a shinigami. Do you know what that is?" I had heard about the angels of death." Yes, you take lost souls and people who appeared on the death list." He nodded." We were send here to take you with us." I looked at him blankly." You've waited eight years before you came to collect me. Why?" He looked at me confused." You've been death for eight years?" I nodded." Demons attacked my brother and me and killed me." I nodded." I see. What's wrong with you're brother. You seem very concerned about him." I looked toward the corner of the room where I saw a still form sitting. I walked to him and leaned down beside him." He's been like this for eight years now." Masue leaned down beside me and touched Tsuzuki's arm. He looked at his eyes but somehow I knew he wouldn't be frightened. He smiled." What's his name?" ." Tsuzuki Asato…but he hates it to be called with his first name." He nodded and lifted my brother up into a standing position." Hello Tsuzuki." My brother didn't give any reaction but Masue didn't seem to notice it. He took Tsuzuki's right wrist and looked at the scars from his suicide attempts." He tried to kill himself several times, why didn't it work?" ." Because he was either stopped by that monster or Suki healed himself."." Healed himself?" He looked up at me in surprise." Yes, whenever he gets hurt the wounds heal themselves." Masue looked at him questionable." That's not something you hear every day." He smiled.

He looked into his eyes again." I can get into serious trouble for this." He muttered to himself. He lifted my brother up into his arms and carried him out of the room. Both man outside looked up and I could see shock in Semi's eyes. I felt triumph in my heart as I looked at him in anger. Masue carried my brother to a different room then where we were and lied him on the bed." Excuse me but that's my patient. Where are you taking him." Semi asked Masue angry." I found him sitting in a corner, he should be in bed." He covered my brother and caressed the hair out of his face. When he did that I saw Tsuzuki's eyes get back their normal color." Ruka…." ." Shhhhh angel, it's alright. Sleep now." Masue' voice was tender and soft as Tsuzuki looked up to him. He slowly nodded and to my surprise his tired eyes closed. Semi gasped in shock." How did you do that. He haven't been reacting to anything for the last eight years." He shifted uncomfortable." Magical touch I would say." Masue' eyes were hard and cold as he looked at Semi." I would like you to leave now. I have to examine my patient now that he reacted." I looked at Masue in fear. He couldn't leave him alone." Masue please…." Masue didn't look at me but shook his head." I'm a friend of the Tsuzuki family and I promised Ruka to take care of Suki if something happened to her." He reached for a chair and sat down beside the bed." You're a friend of the Tsuzuki family?..why didn't you come by earlier then?" He asked suspicious. Masue' face darkened and if I didn't know better I would have believed him." I only came here this morning and heard in the village that Ruka was killed and Suki was admitted in this….clinic. Besides…I wanted to see him for I am a doctor and might be able to help." Semi blinked." A doctor?"

Arto signed behind him." Could you leave us for a moment please." He looked at Semi threatening and suddenly I feared Arto more then I feared Semi. Semi nodded and left." What are you doing Trigton?"." I'm not gonna let anyone hurt him anymore." ." Our job is to take the girl, the boy isn't our problem." Masue looked at my brother." I'm not leaving him. There is something about him….something special." He looked up at the other man." I'm not leaving him Arto."

Arto signed." Damn you. Suit yourself then. You have to take the responsibility for your own actions. I'm not backing you up. I'll send the chief too you." Masue nodded." Bye Arto." Arto disappeared into thin air." How did he do that?" I asked as I sat down. Masue smiled and I could see tenderness and kindness in his eyes." Shinigami can regenerate and move from one location to another without it taking more then a few seconds." ." That's handy when you are late." He nodded." Masue?" ." Yes Tsuzuki-san." I looked at him." You can call me Ruka. Thank you." He smiled." Thank you for what…Ruka." I smiled as well." For saving my brother out of the claws of that monster." He looked at the still figure of my brother on the bed." I'm glad I can help someone instead of taking someone." He took my brothers hand." you love him very much don't you?" I nodded." Yes, I love him more then anything else in the world." He smiled." I can take him with me but then he has to die. Do you trust me enough to leave me alone with him." I nodded." I trust you." I suddenly felt tired." I'm tired." He nodded." You finished you're business here at earth. Your mind can't find a reason to stay any longer. If you go to sleep now, you won't return." I looked at him surprised." I don't want to leave Suki. But then again, I don't want him to die with me either." He smiled." He can always become a shinigami if he's cut out of the right wood." I looked at him." He would feel guilty and the kind of work I heard about that you do frighten me." I closed my eyes for a second but snapped them open before I could fall away to far. I suddenly remembered a dream I had a long time ago.

I looked around and saw several people working. I wandered around looking for a familiar face among them but none came. I walked outside and saw Tsuzuki walking next to a young blond haired boy. They were talking..well Suki was talking and the boy merely nodded with an annoyed look on his face. He seemed to be around the age of sixteen and had green eyes.

I followed them as Tsuzuki suddenly disappeared and two other men were with the boy. They opened a door and everything was on fire. I saw my brother being hugged by the boy in the middle of the flames. I couldn't hear the words the spoke to my brother but he cried as well and hugged the boy back before the building collapsed on top off them. After that I could see him again. He was standing against a desk and was talking with a longhaired blond guy, the young blond from earlier and a tall man with glasses. He looked happier then I had ever seen him and I had to smile.

." Ruka?" I blinked and looked up at him." I often dream things that come true, and I had a dream about Suki a long time ago that made me happy." I told him about the dream and described the building where they were. He looked at me surprised." You just described our entire office precisely." ." Do you think that my dream will come true?" Masue looked at Tsuzuki." Yes….Yes I think it can come true." He smiled and I looked at Tsuzuki. I walked to the bed and leaned onto it and took his hand I saw Tsuzuki stir and open his eyes." Ruka…." He blinked his eyes a few times and looked up at me. I smiled as I saw his beautiful purple eyes again. Tears came into his eyes." Ruka…Ruka." Silently the tears fell down his cheeks. ." Suki….I have to leave now." I swallowed the tears that came up in my eyes as I saw the fear in his eyes." It's time for me to move on. I know you'll be fine and make the right choices in you're life. I might not be with you in person but I'll always be in you're heart angel." I stroke his soft hair out of his face." Ruka…I…" I smiled." It wasn't your fault Suki. You would never hurt me on purpose." He just looked at me." Now…do you remember that promise?" He nodded." I want you to keep it. Live you're next life for the fullest, don't hold back for anyone….And follow you're heart." He nodded." Ruka…I love you." ." I love you to little brother. I love you more then anything in live Suki. And I always will no matter what will happen. Don't you ever forget that alright?" He nodded." I won't." I smiled and nodded to Masue." He'll take care of you for me." Tsuzuki nodded and lifted up his hand to whip away the tears that ran down my cheeks." Don't cry sis. Everything will be alright." I could see pain in his eyes but also love and tenderness.

Masue took a knife from the table and walked back to us." Tsuzuki…" He handed him the knife and looked at him. Tsuzuki didn't look scared as Masue helped him up. He looked at him before he sat the knife on his right wrist." I'll help you." I looked confused as Masue placed his hands over Tsuzuki's and together they let the knife slide down his wrist. Blood appeared immediately but my brother didn't react to the pain." Let's bring you somewhere peaceful." Masue laid down the knife and lifted him up in his arms." Ruka take my jacket." I nodded and closed my eyes on his command. I felt like my stomach turned itself upside down and opened my eyes when the feeling was gone again. I looked around to see a lonely stone in a pool of red roses. Masue carried Tsuzuki to it and lied him down in his arms." You're with your sister now. It's alright to go now." Tears fell down my cheeks again as I saw the small grave stone with my name on it. I kneeled beside him and held my brothers hand when a old man appeared out of nowhere. I immediately knew he also was a shinigami as Masue greeted him." Chief Konoe." The man nodded." Masue…why are you here?. Who are they?" He kneeled down in front of Tsuzuki and looked at him." My god….Tsuzuki. How did you find him?" I looked at him and looked at him confused." You know my brother?" He looked up at me surprised." You must be Ruka Tsuzuki. Yes I know you're brother, for I know you're real father." I looked at him blankly. I couldn't remember my real father clearly." He's dying Konoe." ." I can see that." Konoe leaned forward and took Tsuzuki's arm." You must have helped him." Masue nodded. I heard my brothers breathing getting raw and unsteady and knew it was going to work this time." It won't be long now anymore." ." Why didn't it work before?" Konoe smiled at me." Because the help of a shinigami is needed to kill someone as him." I squeezed Tsuzuki's hand as I heard his breathing slower and listened quietly to his last breathings. When they stopped I let my tears silently fall down my face. It hurt me to see him die but I knew it was better this way.

I looked around." Why isn't his ghost appearing?" Konoe smiled." Because he knew he was going to die. He's in Enmacho Summoners division right now." I stood up and watched as Masue lifted him in his arms again." I'll make a grave so that creep can't find him anymore." I nodded thankfully and watched as Konoe opened my grave. It didn't do anything to me to see my own bones in that box. But it did break my heart as I saw Masue lie down my brother beside me." Rest in peace Tsuzuki Asato." Konoe said as he closed the grave again and sealed it with some kind of spell." Have a great afterlife angel." I smiled and looked at them." I'm ready." Konoe nodded and Masue looked at me." Are you sure you don't want to become a shinigami?" I had thought about staying with him but then I shook my head." No, I wouldn't last a day in that kind of job…and I want Suki to grow. To learn to meet new people and become truly happy. If I stay with him he won't find the happiness he deserves."

Masue nodded as did Konoe." Farewell Ruka. Rest in peace. You know what to do." He smiled and I smiled as well." Farewell." I closed my eyes and let myself slide away. What I saw last gave me happiness.

."Neh, Soka Why are you always so tense?" ." No Baka. Quit asking me stupid questions." I saw the young blond again from earlier dreams. He hit my brother on the head. Another man, a longhaired blond laughed." Seems like he's got you now Suki." ." Nah, Tari. Soka is just acting like a bully while he in reality is like a sweet." The young blond blushed as another man with glasses smiled." I think it's the other way around Watari. Tsuzuki has Kurosaki." ." Tatsumi!" The blond blushed even more furious as the three other laughed. My brother wrapped his arms around the younger blond and hugged him." I love you Soka." He whispered in the boy's ear. He smiled at my brother and returned the hug." I love you to Tsu-chan." I could see pure happiness in both of their eyes and smiled before everything turned dark. The last thing I saw was everything I ever hoped for.

THE END
