Title: Emptiness of Everything
Author/Artist: rhosyn_du
Theme: Commitment
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: Thank you to andmydog and mellow_dk for the beta help
Sequel to A Mind That Lets Go
All in all, death was quite unlike what Ukoku was expecting.
For one thing, the afterlife bore a striking resemblance to the gardens outside Kinzan temple.
"I was beginning to wonder if you ever planned on showing up."
For another, the hand that reached down to help him to his feet was both solid and warm.
Ukoku wondered suddenly if other things would still be the same: if Koumyou's hair would smell faintly of incense and pipe smoke, if his mouth would have the sour/sweet taste of cheap sake.
He raised a questioning eyebrow. "Best two out of three?"
