Susumu watched, with a panoramic view from the roof, his heart crumble to tiny little dust pieces.
Hijikata-chou left the room where her body was. Striding down the wooden floors, with a pained expression on his face and soon followed by Okita-san running after the dark brooding form of the fukuchou.
The wind blowing in their direction stole the sound of Hijikata-chou’s rich voice from Susumu.
The fukuchou seemed to bellow angrily over some unheard trouble, the pain more evident now that it was voiced. Okita-san followed with loyal determination.
Then a shift in the wind rustled the leaves and brought the Okita’s words -“Not your fault” - Susumu’s way.
His heart lost yet another piece. Susumu knew well whose fault it was. But the heart was not yet completely dissolved; it still had pieces left to break.
The two men stopped at the words and the comforting offered by the slight man; the arms that weren’t Susumu’s easily found their way around the taller man, a kiss, from lips that should’ve been Susumu’s, was pressed to Hijikata-chou’s neck, comforting and relieving the pain.
His heart’s last dust flew in the wind.
The sense of failure washing over him. He had failed as a brother. Failed as a ninja. Failed to obtain the love of the man he craved.
A tiny dust speck desperately clung to the empty heart as an irritating little red-haired refused to let him be alone.
