Chapter Ten: Reeling:
Yasuo felt pins and needles go up and down his arms.
“W-W-What is this?” he asked. The black setting broke
into cubes. He heard static in his ears. The old man took in heavy
breaths.
“Aki? Aki? Aki?” he asked. The glitches in the
background made his eyes hurt.
“Where are you?” he asked. “Speak to me! Aki!
Aki! Aki!” Yasuo froze when he heard laughter.
“What did you do?” he asked. Tsuzuki's face appeared in
the sky.
“Oh,” the shinigami said, nonchalantly. “Just
levelled the playing field.” Yasuo gritted his teeth.
“You!” he shouted. The darkness surrounding them
contorted into odd shapes. The clawing noises began. Yasuo grabbed
his head.
“Gah!” he cried. Laughing filled his mind. Yasuo took a
step forward. His breathing grew labored.
“Aki! Aki!” he shouted. Then came the scratching. The
old man sank to his knees. A shadow loomed over his head. Yasuo
froze and looked up. Tsuzuki stood over him twenty feet tall.
“No!” Yasuo shouted. “You will not beat me! I
won't let you! You will not win!”
“Give up already,” Tsuzuki said. “Dragging this
out will make it worse.”
“Never!” the tsukai shouted. “You will not defeat
me! You cannot win!” Tsuzuki sighed as he shrugged.
“You sure about that?” he asked. “I'm sorry to
hear that. You could stop this, you know?”
“Never!” Yasuo's face looked so red.
Tsuzuki rubbed his forehead. “Fine. I gave you a chance.
Don't say you weren't warned. Your funeral.” The shinigami
vanished. Yasuo gritted his teeth and screamed. The black walls
shuddered as his pain grew worse.
Meanwhile, Tsuzuki began a new search. Yasuo smirked to himself and
started chanting under his breath.
