Here is something new, and something finished for a change. A SaiMono fanfic, based on the world of Haruki Murakami's After Dark.

This fic was birthed from one of the prompts in saiunkoku_fic : 1) Ryuuki and/or Shuurei, any of the main cast - in a modern urban fantasy setting. Think Charles deLint, Neil Gaiman, etc.
アフターダーク is my favorite Murakami novel thus far ( Read more... )

[A/N] I was thinking if I should make this Chapter 16, but doing that will totally derail the timeline. Omake is probably the right term.

( I really missed you ... Isn't that weird? We live in the same house, after all. )

[A/N] I ... don't know why this chapter ended this way. Cause, in After Dark, Mari (the younger sister) kisses Eri (older sister). On the lips. TWICE. But this doesn't happen here. And that's weird. Cause SeiRyuu is CANON dakara..

Now I don't know why I made this A/N to begin with. Maybe a teeny part of me wants to rewrite and have the kiss there. ( Read more... )

( Shi Ryuuki wakes up. )

( Can I ... tell you something I've never told anyone before? )

( The room is no longer vacant. )

( And even with that both of you manage to get along! The logic of it escapes me! )

( It could have happened to me. And the thought of that scares me. )

[A/N] Warning. Violence ahead.

( Something just moved in Seien's face. )

( I'd love to see you tomorrow night ... I have something to tell you. )
