Chapter Sixteen: New Resolve:
“And they're gone now?” Tsuzuki asked. He looked at
Anna's wrists.
“Yes,” she said. Her husband noticed the burns were
completely gone.
“Is he dead?” Anna asked.
“No,” Tsuzuki said. “But we killed his
kitsune.”
“We?” she asked. He climbed on top of her.
“Hisoka, Airi-chan, and me,” he said. “I came up
with it myself.”
“You did?”
“Yes.”
“But why?”
He kissed her forehead. “I wanted to. You're free now. So are
Daisuke and his sisters.” Anna stared at him with a stunned
look on her face.
“I don't understand,” she said.
“Understand what?” Tsuzuki asked.
“I mean,” Anna said. “I am grateful! But why just
the kitsune? Why not him too?”
Tsuzuki smiled and tapped the side of his nose. “For
punishment.”
“Huh?”
He tried not to laugh. “I don't like killing as you
know.”
“Yes…”
“Well, I am a shinigami and I have a job to do. So, I decided
on an alternate. I can still keep him alive but end your curse. So,
I killed the kitsune.”
“Just like that?” Anna asked.
“No, I had help,” he said.
“Airi and Hisoka?”
“Yes.” Tsuzuki kissed Anna on the lips.
“But what will happen to him now?”
“That's on him. He's no use to Haruka without his kitsune.
Killing him would be too generous. I wasn't being nice to
him.” He sounded so bitter when he said that. But, he made
himself to smile again. “He'll stay alive until his judgement
comes.”
“How can you be sure he won't come after us?” she
asked.
“What can he do?” the shinigami asked. He cuddled up to
her. “We only have Haruka.”
“Are you sure?” Anna asked.
“Yes,” Tsuzuki said. “The nightmare's almost
over.” He nuzzled her on the neck. Anna closed her eyes and
murmured. Already, she had to pay him back. Anna had the one thing
in mind.
“I love you too,” he said. They shared another kiss. In
that kiss, Anna's planning began. Actually it was already in
motion. Tonight gave her the one push she needed to go through with
her planning.
