Facets of a Gem
Blue-violet eyes were locked on the glowing gemstone with an almost frightening intensity. After years of searching, the Pandora Gem was finally in his grasp. Kaito had to admit the piece was beautiful. It just goes to show that nothing should be judged by its appearance alone.
The thief found it appropriate the stone shown the color of freshly spilled blood. “How many people have died because of you I wonder?” His voice was soft. It didn’t need to be; he was alone. “How much blood shed in your name? A lake? An ocean?” More then just a few puddles Kaito was sure.
His next words were considered carefully before he spoke them. “I hate you.” Kaito knew he shouldn’t. Pandora was just a gem. It had never asked someone to kill in the pursuit of immortality. The young man knew humanity had never needed a reason to destroy; history was full of examples. That knowledge didn’t change the magician’s feelings though, emotion was rarely logical.
“You’ve taken everything from me. Everything that mattered.” First his Father, brought low by an assassin, then his innocence as he hunted Toichi’s killers. As Kid, Kaito was more than passably familiar with the darker side of life. Secret upon secret distanced him from his best friend, even if Aoko didn’t know it. Kaito was no longer the little boy she had met so long ago.
Strong fingers gripped the gem tighter as he lowered it to his side. It was over. Soon the Pandora Gem would never hurt anyone ever again. That didn’t change the fact Kaito would always bear its marks, and not just the physical ones.
