It was nice while it lasted...right?(Shin Soukoku)

The truth

Tw:mention of suicide and death

Akutagawa pov:

I looked at the note as i began to walk to the said place I made sure I was ready just in case it was a trap especially after the mission that just happened as I seen it start getting darker as I used Rashōmon to climb to each building until I saw one with a blanket on top of it the caught my attention

I stood on the top looking around to see nobody there until I heard footsteps that made me turn around making sure Rashōmon was ready to attack I saw a person with a black coat with tan fur on it a black mask covering their face a dark blue shirt and black pants and boots and a silver chain that clinked when he walked

It was no other but the Reaper he walked towards then stopped I felt his eyes on me "what do you want..." I said sharply staring at him

"You don't remember me?" He said his voice soft and calm "what do you mean I don't know who you are now state why your here!" I said staring at him "Ryu...it's me..." he said taking off his mask my eyes widened as I looked in his face his eyes the same lavender honey color light shined from them as they looked at me...

"No...this isn't true..." I find myself saying "WHAT DID YOU DO YOUR NOT HIM HE'S DEAD!" "Ryu...please...what do you want me to do to prove it's me..." I tried to think of anything to prove it wasn't him then it hit me "When was the day we got together..." I asked staring at him

He sighed "It was the day after my birthday at midnight that was because you was scared of the mafia and the agency finding out we went to the cat cafe and a amusement park you got a mint chocolate chip ice cream conebecause they didn't have ice sundae's which is your favorite type of ice cream..." My eyes widened as he rambled on and on of that day as he laughed at the good times we had

I felt tears run down my eyes as I watched him ramble some more "Ryu..." I heard him say he walked my way standing on the gray blanket I was on pulling me into a hug I hugged him as tight as I could feeling him in my arms again we both sat down after it was quiet as I sat near him still holding him as he wipes my tears "don't cry....please...." He said in a sweet voice his voice like milk and honey

" how are you alive...I mean everyone saw you die..." I said laying in his lap looking at his face so gentle and soft I heard him sigh "Akkio...I knew her I saved her from committing suicide when I was kicked out the orphanage after that I don't remember much especially because my ability crisis but I did know she was like a sister to me..." I heard his voice crack "Akkio's ability was to revive people she knows she needs to know your ability and name but the thing you have to give her something it doesn't have to be a physical something it can just be caring for her and it has to be sincere in doing so she can bring you back to life once as you see if she dies it doesn't effect the person like Yasano's ability but unlike Yasano's she can't use it on herself..."

He looked down tears in his eyes "I'm sorry..." I said feeling guilty for letting her die "it's not your fault...it's their fault" he said his aura becoming a bit menacing before it going down I was scared to say but then I felt it slip out "Why did you betray the agency and start killing...was this with the kids blowing up all an act" I said quietly

"It was...I'm sorry I never meant to effect you but I didn't want to hurt you guys..." he said looking at the sun start to set I did the same "what do you mean...." "Byakko wants revenge he craves blood..." my eyes widened "Byakko?"I asked "my tiger... he's going after the people that abused me in the orphanage including my parents and other that abuse or hurt children especially out of nothing but hatred to the world but I've learned how to control it but doing so I must not be seen by anyone I know until my deeds are done but I couldn't hold myself not to see you again..." I sighed "this is very dangerous I want you to be safe...but as a killer myself I can't judge..."

I felt his fingers comb my hair "don't tell anyone please...I can't have anyone stop me if so Byakko might lose control and kill them..." I look in his eyes "I promise I won't just don't die on me...please" I said softly holding his face he leans in closer giving me a long passionate kiss before pulling away and saying "I won't"letting a beautiful calm smile come across his face making me smile back at him

"I brung some figs and tea so we can eat and watch the sunset" he says looking at me I laughed a bit "you know me well..."

Atsushi gasped "did you just laugh Aku!" "Huh..." I said confused "AHHHH!I KNEW YOU COULD LAUGH!" I blushed "it's nothing..." I heard Atsushi laugh "let me get the stuff..." he said kissing my forehead he got up and went down stairs and came back with a basket and a container full of tea

"I'm sorry I tried to find a fancier container but this is the only one I could find most of my money is going on weapons and foods" he said sitting down and setting up the stuff

"It's fine I'm just happy to see you again..."
