Tasuki paced aback and forth in front in of the leaders room of the bandit's stronghold. Kouji stared at anything else instead of locking his gaze with Tasuki's. "I really don't know Genrou,he was fine before. When we found him in the snow, he was out cold.Guess he was waiting for you like always.Gomen." "Take it easy Kouji, I'm not blaming you." Taking a peek into the room he spotted the figure on the futon. Tasuki then turned back to Kouji. "I gottcha,see ya later Gen-chan." Creepig into the room quietly Tasuki locked it and kneeled near the figure. There laying down was Chichiri with the moonlight outlining his figure. Reaching out to him, Tasuki ran his hand through the blue strands of hair that had come loose around the sweaty forehead. Tracing along to the scarred eye down to the lips, he held onto the cold hand. "Chichiri, wake up onegai." Slowly a eye cracked open, red eye stared at amber ones. "How ya feeling." he spoke softly to the monk. Struggeling to answer, the words were cought in his throat. "Ohh,...weak.an..d cold." A small smile creeped on his lips. Sitting on the futon, he gathered Chichiri into his arms, wrapped the blanket around them both and settled back down. "How's this, Warm enough for you?" "Mmhmm. Goodnigh no da." "Night love." Chapter 2 "Kouji! Kouji! wake up!" "Wha! Oh Genrou waz up?" Breathing heavly Tasuki took a moment to catch his breath. "It's Chichiri! He's... gotten worst. I don't know what to do!" "Whoa, slow down. Did anything happen last night?" "I remember wrapping the covers around us and I heard a tapping at the window. I went to check it out and when I opened it a gust of wind hit me full in the face.After I shut it and went back to him I found this. It was under the pillowcase." he handed Kouji a small pouch. Sprinkling some of the substains on his hand, Kouji's eyes widen in shock and disbelief. "What! What is it?!" "Cocaine." "Co..Cocaine! As in the drug." Tasuki nearly choked on his words."How the hell did that shit get in here.Everyone knows the rules. Getting drunk is one thing, but drugs screw that." "Now all we have to do is find out who has the stuff. I'll check the east and north parts of the place." "And I'll check the south and west." After about an hour of searching the two had found nothing. they decided to rally up all the bandits and speak directly to them. "Ok listen up! You all know that Chichiri's sick. Am I right?" Bandits :nodd: "Do you all Know how?" "Yeah, we found him in the snow. Prbable caught a cold." one of them said. "The hell he did!" "Easy Genrou. No that's not the case. Genrou found this under Chichiri's pillow." handing the pouch to one of the boys they all got to get a look at the powder, before it was returned o Tasuki. "So what is it?" "I't's cocaine ya moran! And I want to know who bought the stuff." Glances were shared all around,and whispers got exchanged but still noone got up. "Look , we want to know is how it got into room." "Don't forget you all owe Chichiri. Think about it, how many times have we gotten beaten and bruised. Who was the one that helped us out." Still trying to get an answer from the group, two figures in the back talked in hushed voices. 1We should tell them. 2and get kicked out! No way. 1But we didn't know it was cocaine. That merchant said it would help cure Chichiri. 2Fine , but what if Tasuki gets pissed and flames us out of the place? 1The longer we stall the deeper we're digging our graves. 2 Fine!! Later that night..... "Don't worry Genrou, he'll pull through. Always has." Wiping the tears from his eyes Tasuki just leaned further in the wall. "Yeah I.. know but still..gods why him. I can't even do anything to help him Kouji. I just.." Buring his face into his arms the tears started all over again. Stepping closer to his friend , Kouji held him in a tight embrace, trying to give any somfort. 'Knock KNock' "What!" "Sorry to interupte Kouji, but we ned to talk. You want us to come in? "Hold on." Looking back at Tasuki, he nodded in agreement. Sitting back down he propped himself on the table, looking at the wall. "Yea get in here." Opening the door two young bandits walked in. The first one was shorter then the other,with shoulder length black hair, lightly tanned skin and violet eyes. The second one was about a few inches taller, frosty colored hair, crystal blue eyes and pale skin. "So what do you want." "You'll have to excuse Gen-chan, he's not in the best of modes. "That's understandable. By the way names Shiek and the albino here is my friend Seph." "Boyfriend ya mean." "There a point to this?" "Gen-chan! Sorry, so what fo you want?" "It's.. about the cocaine.We were the ones who bought it" At hearing this Tasuki sprang to his feet. "YOU WHAT!!!!! Why the hell did you even think of buying that crap! Don't you know what it can do to you!" "We didn't know what it was , the merchant who sold it to use said it could help cure any sickness. We were only trying to help. Gomen." Shiek spoke from behind his love. "You think I care. Right now Chichiri's fighting for his life and all you can do is apologize. Beat it, I don't want to see you two." "But!" "I think you should go back to your rooms. I'll be there in a while." Kouji whispered to Seph. "Sure, see ya there." Grabbing Shiek's shoulder he yanked them out of the room. "Stupid kids! Messed up big time." Arching an eyebrow, Kouji looked straight at his friend. "Oh really. Everyone messes up in their life. I seem to remember a certain someone who got alchole posioning from getting in over their head at the bar one time. Chichiri had to bail you out big time if my memory serves me right." "So what's that got to do with them?" "You almost didn't make, which scared the hell out of Chichiri.But Chichiri forgave you, right. It's only fare, I mean they didn't know what it was. If it's anyone you should be pissed at it's that merchant." Turning to face the wall again, Tasuki hand formed into a fist and sailed right through it. *He keeps this up and my room's gonna look like swiss cheese!* Walking over to his friend, Kouji tried to get a better view of Tasuki's face. "Feeling any better?" An amber eye peaked out of a patch of red hair. "Huh. Yeah, yeah. Damn that hurt. How is it that you an Chichiri put up with me. I can't even stand myself sometimes? "Haha, that's a good one. We've been through thick and thine since we were kids. I've learned to put up with ya. An Chichiri loves you, so we can see past that temper of yours." "Gee, you really know how to make a guy feel wanted." Chapter 3 "I told you it was a bad idea. Now we'll be threwn out for sure." Shiek paced around his room furiously. "Will you.." Seph was interupted bya knock on the door."Who's there?" "Who is it! It's me Kouji. Mind if I come in? " Seph copuldn't help but smile as he heard Kouji talking to himself. That was just one of the things that Kouji was known for."Sure, hello." "Hello Kouji." "Hey Seph, yo Shiek." Um.. hi Kouji. Came here to say good-bye,ne." "No. I came here so you can tell me about that merchant that sold this shit to you." **************************** (Tasuki's Room) "Cough, Cough." "Easy Chichiri. Just take it slow." Tasuki wipped the water that trailed from Chichiri's mouth. "I don't know how much longer I can stand this,love. What's wrong with me Tasuki. Please tell me." Tasuki kneeled in front of him silent for a moment trying to get his thoughts under control."We...we found some cocain in your pillow. I'ts a drug that can really mess a person up, even if they take it once." "...." "Ch..Chichiri?" Leaning closer, he tried to listen to hear the heart beat that had always lulled him to sleep at night. There was nothing, not even a faint mummer of the once strong beat. Once again Tasuki wraped them both in the blanket, only this time it was not for comfort. Placing a brief kiss on his lover's lips, he could feel the cold steel on his bare chest. *I'll be with you shortly my love. Please wait for me, we'll be together again." Running the cold steel into his heart, he let it slip out slowly. Weakly he wrapped his arms around his lover for what would be the last time in this world. ******************************* The funeral ceremony took place on Taiistkun's mountain home. Sheik, Seph and Kouji had helped with all the arrangments,since the two felt more responsable for the death of their friends. "Hey, you two going to ok?" Shiek looked up from Seph's chest , face tear stricken. " sniff Mmhmm. I st..ill feel guilty about it though, like there was more we should be doing." "Yea, were all going to miss them. But Genrou knew what he was doing." "It said so in his letter he wrote before..." pulling out the wrinkled piece of paper from his side pocket, he scanned it once more. Yo Kouji, Shiek, and Seph, If ya reading this them I guess I'm not around anymore. Sorry to stick ya in this postion Kouji, evne though we have been through alot together(Not that I don't appricate anything ya done for me) but I love Chichiri to much to go on without him. Best of luck to ya Kouji, take care buddy. Shiek, Seph look didn't mean to explode like that, but that's the wat I am. I don't blame ya for buying the stuff. Just do me a favor and get that asshole for selling it to anyone else. No one should go through what's happened here and now. Never good at saying good-bye, but who knows , maybe we'll meet again. ^_~ Kou shun'u a.k.a Genrou- Tasuki *Thank you Tasuki. I hope that where ever you are that you've found each other again, and are happy. Needless to say later Kouji and the other bandit's tracked down the merchant and was DELT with! *evil laughter* Epilogue "Houjun, look out!" one of the boys shouted from across the street. Tackled from behind, he barely missed getting hit by the car. Looking up from the dust a pair of amber eye's looked down at him. "Daydreaming about me again kiobito." "Shun'u! Your back!" he gave his lover a fierce hug." I've missed you so much." "Yea I know. I couldn't think of anything except for our date tonight. Let's go back to my place and get ready,ne." "Sure we can." Houjun stood up, a certain spark was playing in his eyes(yeah i said EYES). Sliddind an arm around his lover's waist the two made their wasy home. ~END~ GGX: Phew! Done.
