Bring me to life
By Silver-Winged-Angel

"There is no escape… for you and me…" Muraki's voice spoke, still calm although he had a fatal wound on his stomach. "Because we… are the descendants of the darkness, Tsuzuki-san…"

~How can you see into my eyes like open doors,
Leading you down into my core~

"Tsuzuki-sama, you know very well that my black flames are deadly, even to a shinigami like you…" Touda the beast snake shikigami whom Tsuzuki had summoned spoke to him. "I no longer wanted to be saved, Touda," he whimpered as he sat down on the floor, back against the wall.

~…Where I’ve become so numb without a soul,
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back home~

Wrapping his arms around his knees, Tsuzuki began sobbing. "Please… please forgive me…" His whole body began trembling despite the high heat. "I could never be a proper master to you all…" Tears slowly began cascading down his pale face. "I'm sorry for all the troubles I brought on to every one of you…"

~(Wake me up),
Wake me up inside,
(I can’t wake up),
Wake me up inside,
(Save me),
Call my name and save me from the dark~

Explosions were all over the place but Tsuzuki could care less as his mind was transported back to his childhood days, when everyone hated him because he was a monster, because of his unnatural colored eyes that were meant to be beautiful only if people could see right through it.

~(Wake me up),
Bid my blood to run,
(I can’t wake up),
Before I come undone,
(Save me),
Save me from the nothing I’ve become~

Tsuzuki cried out as a familiar pain lurched into his heart. That same pain that killed him day by day. His body might be alive, but inside, he was dying. 'Innocents who had died just for the sole reason of me, they died with hatred for me in their hearts, they couldn't forgive me, dakara… dakara, I will die for them, to make amends for the sins I've done,'

"Burn me Touda, reduce everything to ashes…"

~Now that I know what I’m without,
You can't just leave me,
Breathe into me and make me real,
Bring me to life~

"TSUZUKI!! Where are you?" A voice so familiar that he couldn't forget called out. "Tsuzuki, answer me!!" He could see a figure from far away, running towards him. The figure was getting closer and closer, and so does his voice. "Tsuzuki, you idiot! Hurry up and come to me!" A face so cold, the child that had almost killed him at their first meeting. Hisoka,

~(Wake me up),
Wake me up inside,
(I can’t wake up),
Wake me up inside,
(Save me),
Call my name and save me from the dark,
(Wake me up),
Bid my blood to run,
(I can’t wake up),
Before I come undone,
(Save me),
Save me from the nothing I’ve become~

"Can't move? Wait there, I'll come!" Hisoka called out again, and teleported, this time closer to his partner. He knelt next to Tsuzuki and wrapped his arms around him, trying to pull his partner up. But the amethyst-eyed shinigami wouldn't budge. "Go back… Hisoka… you'll die too!" Tsuzuki cried. "Kono bakayarou! Do you think I came here just to watch you die?!" Tsuzuki stared at Hisoka with tear-filled eyes. "I just… want to die… I've lived for far too long…" Tears spilled from amethyst eyes. "I'm tired…"

~Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love darling,
Only you are the life among the dead~

Hisoka threw his arms around Tsuzuki's shivering body. "NO! I'm won't go back… I don't want to be alone anymore…" Hisoka sobbed onto Tsuzuki's shoulder. "My place to return to is here, Tsuzuki, by your side only," Hisoka's arms went tighter around his partner. "

~All this time I can't believe I couldn't see,
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me,
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems,
Got to open my eyes to everything~

I won't let go of your hand the second time, Tsuzuki… the path that you've chosen; I'll always follow you, wherever you go…

"Live for me, Tsuzuki, lift up your hopes for me," Hisoka cried as he gazed into Tsuzuki's eyes. "Stay with me…" He was caught unguarded by those words Hisoka spoke. No one ever wanted him to live, but this boy wanted him to survive. "Hi… Hisoka… You'll let me stay beside you?" Hisoka simply nod, "Yes, Tsuzuki,"

~Without a thought without a voice without a soul,
Don't let me die here,
There must be something more,
Bring me to life~

Leave those demons from your past behind; You won't ever have to suffer alone, Tsuzuki, because I will always be by your side. I promise you. Love and gratitude could be felt from the man so close to him. It was a feeling directed straight to him through his empathy. Darkness overcame both of them as a blanket of what seems to be shadows devoured them both. Tatsumi came to rescue them.

~(Wake me up),
Wake me up inside,
(I can’t wake up),
Wake me up inside,
(Save me),
Call my name and save me from the dark,
(Wake me up),
Bid my blood to run,
(I can’t wake up),
Before I come undone,
(Save me),
Save me from the nothing I’ve become~

"I owe my life to you, Hisoka, you pulled me through the darkness and made me see what was important to me, in return, I will never leave you and will always stay by your side, because I was meant to stay with you. I believe Faith brought us together for some reasons, and I believe that one of those reasons are because you and I couldn't live another single day without each other. That's what I believe, Hisoka, aishiteru…"
