I'm deaf..not ignorant.

14. I love you..

(POV Kyojuro Rengoku)
The final noon was here. I can't..I just can't believe it. My job was to bring Giyuu to the hashiras but I must have covered him. I was looking at him the entire time, I saw scaredness in his eyes. I didn't want to do this. I wanted to let him go and run away but if I did, they would kill me too. Well..did it matter anymore? I couldn't care less. We walked to the meeting area of the HQ. All of the hashiras expect Muichiro were there. Some of them, who saw Giyuu like this for the first time were horrified and those who saw him were on the verge of tears. I told Giyuu to stand in the middle and to hold his umbrella tightly. He nodded but he looked..like he didn't care. "Kyojuro.." Sanemi whispered to me when I walked over to the other hashiras. "I don't want to see it.." I whispered back but I had to see. It was a part of my punishment for hiding Giyuu. Sanemi held my hand and squeezed it hard. "It's gonna be okay..trust me." He tried to be calm. I groaned silently and looked at Giyuu. "Tomioka Giyuu- the water hashira. You were sentenced to death for becoming a demon. Please, remove your cover." Master said, I felt that he was broken too. My heart started beating fast. My eyes were locked on Giyuu. He grabbed the umbrela with both of him and threw it away. "NOO!" Me, Sanemi, Mitsuri and Shinobu yelled. I couldn't just stand there, looking at my precious Giyuu dying in front of me with a smile on his lips. I ran over to him and cried. "Giyuu..don't leave me..no..you can't..." I felt hopeless. His skin was burning. "Kyojuro..I love you." He calmly smiled and fell on his knees. There was no turning back. I didn't know what to feel..Giyuu loves me but..he's dying right in front of me..and I can do nothing, just watch him die. I kneeled down next to him. "Giyuu..I'm so sorry..I love you." I hugged him tight. No one could ceperate us now. He was dissapearing in my arms, I didn't care now. I wanted to hold him. I needed to hold him. I closed my eyes and slowly felt the weight in my arms going away. I cried and cried, I was hopeless. My loved one, my Giyuu, he's dead. I couldn't believe that this was really happening.
"Giyuu..We didn't have much time together but, I will always love those moments, those feelings, you."

(5 years later)
"And that is, how I met the love of my life." I smiled at the kids of Mitsuri and Obanai Aisha and Manni. "Uncle Rengoku, how did he look like?" Aisha was curious. "Look at the sky, he was as beautiful at the stars. Sometimes, I wonder if he can see me from up there." I sighed and a tear ran down my face as I remembered how Giyuu looked like. "Uncle Rengoku, do you still know sign language?" Manni asked me curiously. "I never forgot." I stood up and hugged them both. "He was a wonderful man, Kyojuro." I turned around to see my best friend, Sanemi Shinazugawa.
