Dansei* breathed heavily. Panting. Puffing. Wheezing, as he leant agains the cold, wet stone, his back arched to keep away from the biting chill of the wet. He had finally finished things. The beast was dead, bleeding. Oozing, weeping red from the hole that had been its heart just moments ago. He no longer had to live with the horrible knowledge that it existed-no longer would he need to fight it every night in his dreams. Peaceful sleep could return.
Rubbing his tired eyes, he raised his head to take a final look at the creature, to see that cursed red mane at last still. But that was not what his eyes saw. In place of that haunting crimson was beloved black. What should have been the stretched, grotesque cat was a slender form.
"Otome**," he gasped, dropping to his knees to claw her small body into his arms, blood flowing from her ripped apart torso to cover him in the blood he would have called innocent just a moment ago. He held that tattered body to his own until he was stained as red as the beast she had been. Dansei's eyes slid closed, his weak body giving up and dropping him to the ground. He did not know if he would ever awaken again.|
