[Still Dreaming..]

[two_in_eden]

[Now that he has managed to get out of the hole, Seimei is sitting in the middle of a beautiful garden with plants of all varieties in bloom. However, his expression is soured and what was once bright serene place is slowly becoming darker and foreboding as if the sun is setting. The flowers start to drop their petals and the grass that the

[Hibari stumbles along in, done with his fight and looking for some place more quiet and peaceful than that has been drudged up in his own dreams. What a desolate and depressing place. He nearly walks on through but for the sight of Seimei. Nn... he changes course and walks over.]

[two_in_eden]

[Seimei looks up at Hibari and smiles. It's not a true smile as he can't muster up to the effort to make it true.]

Have you come to tell me that I'm not in your eden?

[hi_blog]

I don't even know what that means.

[He takes a seat. This please is not very welcoming.]

[two_in_eden]

[Seimei looks away from him. The garden is withering leaving behind barren walls of glass. This is a green house.]

That's not an answer I would have expected...from a dream. [He stops smiling.] If I go home there is most likely nothing there for me. Not even Ritsuka. There is so much blood on my hands and for what purpose? Why did I bloody my soul if I can't keep the things I want?

Would have been better... [ It seems all the dying plants whisper in unison. ]

[two_in_eden]

[Seimei shudders as if somehow expecting the whisper to have been a cold breeze instead of a disturbing voice. He gets up and tries to dust the mud off his pants.]

He doesn't need or want his brother anymore. Ritsuka will be fine...without me.

[snickeringsnack]

Without you. [ However dark it was before, it's soon infinitely darker. Almost like there's nothing else existing outside this small plot of dying land. ]

[two_in_eden]

Yes. Without. Me. [Seimei hates saying it. He clenches his hands digging his nails into his fingers.]

I don't want to let go but I have to. There is no Eden for the two of us. There is nothing. Only..

[The sacrifice swallows. It's dark. Very dark. Dark like the hole. Dark and all alone.]

Darkness.

[The boy has finally realized that these are nightmares. That none of this is real. Since then he's been looking for Seimei. Worried. His brother's burdens are more then his, and he doesn't want him to face them alone.

When he finds Seimei, he wraps his arms around him from behind.]

That's not true.

[two_in_eden]

Then what is there for me Ritsuka?

[Seimei doesn't believe that this is really Ritsuka. He thinks that he is merely his subconscious trying to comfort him.]

[no_no_badtouch]

[The boy continues to hug him from behind.]

What do you mean? You have me and you have Hibari.

[He hated the man, but Seimei loved him.]

[two_in_eden]

When I go home?...If I can go home. Will you be there waiting for me? Or will you have run off again? Where was I Ritsuka?

[He's trying to pry his arms off.]

[wants_ur_ears]

[ Soubi lingers at the very edge of the dying garden, sucking down a cigarette. ]

You feel sorry for yourself because you can't look at anything logically.

[two_in_eden]

[Seimei doesn't even bother to look at Soubi. He may be forced to accept who Soubi was to Ritsuka but it didn't mean he had to accept his advice.]

[wants_ur_ears]

[ Whether Seimei wants to acknowledge him or not, Soubi remains in the corner, nursing his addiction. ]

You could have been really happy. I tried so hard for you. Why was it never enough? Because I'm an "animal?" Because I wasn't your brother?

[two_in_eden]

I trusted you with Ritsuka and you took him away. [The sacrifice doesn't look at him.]
