"To be totally honest, I wanted to destroy Chutenro Tower with my own hands."
-----
Ushiro sat hunched over at the bench where Kanji had last called him out to. From where he sat, Chutenro Tower took up nearly half of his vision. The tower had been Kanji's mother's grave. Now, it was also Kanji's grave.
He had known that the tower was special for Kanji, but it hadn't meant anything to Ushiro until now.
"What were you trying to protect?" he asked, his hands clasped together. His eyes focused on the slanted tower, as if the tower could give him answers.
The question went unheard.
Kanji was long gone.
-----
"God, you idiot. Don't make me cry."
-----
Kanji had been his friend, but even then, he had not cried. Instead, he watched detachedly as Kana clung on dearly to Kanji's shirt, tears spilling down her cheeks. He frowned and clenched his fist, looking away from the disgraceful scene.
She expressed what he couldn't.
He wished he could bring himself to tear her away from Kanji.
-----
"Why didn't you tell me you were in the contract?"
"Because if I did it, it would mean you were all alone."
-----
He buried his head in his arms, the rough cotton of his sleeves brushing against his skin.
Kanji had wanted him to keep Kana safe. Ushiro hadn't wanted to. He had protested. But when he finally found out that Kana was in the contract, an irrational anger had coursed through him. His face must have been twisted and frightening. Kanji had understood him better than he understood himself. Even Kana had understood him better. He hadn't even known he wanted to meet his birth mother. It had been the tiniest desire in the deepest corner of his heart, but Kana had thought far ahead. She had always thought of him as her brother.
"Kana, you idiot..." He mumbled into his sleeves. "What was the point?"
Kanji had died. Kana had died. Even Tanaka, who he had not known was his mother until after she crashed, had died.
It was absurd that they joined the contract to protect him. Laughable even.
He wasn't even in it.
But now...

Blah, too many quotes in this one! And no room for Jun's father. ^^;;

This fiction is so depressing again.
But weird me likes depressing stuff o.o
no subject
Doesn't reading depressing stuff make you depressed? ): I like the genre once in awhile, but I generally like it mixed with some humor.
no subject
Sometimes it makes me a little sad, but it's not so bad. I couldn't read it all day, though. I like it mixed with humor, too. (It's like we're talking about cocktails here! XD)
no subject
Hahaha, it does sound like we're talking about cocktails. XD
