You want to know what's worse than the death of a loved one?

Not being there when they died.

I wasn't in Japan because of an important project for work. I had to leave behind my parents, my friends and my boyfriend, Karamatsu Matsuno. We kept in contact by texting each other and FaceTiming everyday. Until one day he stopped. I thought nothing of it until I got the call. His mom called me and told me, in tears, that Karamatsu had passed away.

I was shattered and I cried so hard that day. I even cut the trip short and went back to Japan. I had to at least be there to say goodbye before he was put to his enteral rest. I couldn't hold back the tears when I saw Karamatsu in the casket. At the funeral I decided to ask what happened.

Apparently he didn't come home for two days which lead to Matsuyo calling the police. Matzuo told her she was overacting and that Karamatsu was fine. After a day of searching for him they found him washed up on the beach. He was dead when they found him. He had drowned. I was shocked to hear that and look at the casket sadly.

"Suicide then?" I ask and Matsuyo sniffs before nodding "the police said he likely jumped off the cliff and plummeted into the water. They said that if the fall didn't kill him that drowning or hypothermia probably did." She says before tears fell from her eyes. I tear up and pull her into a comforting hug. She hugs me tightly and I felt the lump in my throat worsen.

I notice that his brothers were silent as they stare at the casket. I sigh sadly as I realize they must be in shock. I mean they just lost their brother.

It's been a year and I still mourn Karamatsu's death. You can't blame me though. I mean if I hadn't decided to go on that trip I could've prevented his death. What I beat myself up over is the fact that I didn't notice any signs that he would kill himself. I felt like a terrible girlfriend. Through the year his brothers would comfort me the best they could. They were really nice to me and helped me out quite a bit.

I was in my room and I was in one of my gloomy moods again. I haven't left my bed since I woke up about 2 hours ago. I was just in bed curled up and clutching the blue stripped, yellow tiger plush Karamatsu got me. He had bought it for me before I left Japan. I let out a whimper and hum when I hear something. It sounded like someone called out my name.

I brush it off but a minute later I hear again but louder. I perk up and look around the room. When I hear it again I swear it sounded like Karamatsu. "Great..now I'm going crazy." I mumble and flop back on the bed. I look down to stare at the plush and tense up when I feel a hand lay on my head. I look up but don't see anyone.

I was so confused and sat up. I hum as the plush was pulled from my arms and I froze as it levitates before dropping to the ground. Before I could try to get it back I feel arms wrap around me but didn't see anyone. Then I hear his voice right by my ear. He was just saying my name over and over. I shakily reach my arms up to wrap around and I was surprised when I felt my arms hold someone.

Then slowly that someone came into view. I was stunned and turn my head to see Karamatsu. He pulls back and I stare at him "...K-Karamatsu?" I cover my mouth as he smiles and nods. I tear up and reach out to hold his face. Then I notice that he had horns, wings, and the tail of a demon. "Karamatsu...What?" He just holds my face and kisses me.

Tears leave my eyes and roll down my face. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. He pulls away and I stare at him bewildered. "How? Why are you a-" "I broke the rules and fought to come back. As a result...I am a demon." He says and I just stare before I smile. "I'm so happy to have you back even if you're a demon." I say and perk up "We should tell the others! They'll be so happy!"
