Flowering Cydonias [Soukoku Story]

Prologue

"You'll let me choose?"

Blue eyes leered at the tall brunette, and he could see the smirk playing on his lips as he gave him the "choice".

"Wherever you say that," Chuuya started as he shifted his gaze to the horrific being behind them. "I never actually have another choice."

Dazai watched as the short male turned completely towards the Guild's monster, and began to walk close to it's grotesque base.

Slowly peeling his gloves from his hands, Chuuya took a small intake of breath. As the words passed his lips, he could feel the eyes of his old partner on him, and the tedious slip of his own control fading.

"Grantors of dark disgrace, you need not wake me again."

~~~Time Skip~~~

A bandaged hand wrapped around Chuuya's wrist, he froze instantly and a calm voice spoke to him.

"You annihilated the enemy. Take a break, Chuuya."

Dazai's gift whipped the air around the duo, and bright blue rings grew out and away from the point where their skin touched. The blue in the smaller male's eyes gradually returned, along with the control he'd lost.

The brunette watched as the other fell heavily to the ground on his knee with a grunt. Chuuya felt the blood trickling from his lip and head, as well as sweat. His entire body felt drained and ached with exhaustion.

Every panting breath stung his chest, and he heard his ex partner's footsteps approaching him. "I told you to stop me as soon as it was over." He growled through clenched teeth.

Dazai smirked at the fatigued figure, and crouched down beside him, hands crossed in his lap. "I was going to," He started cheerfully. "but it was entertaining, so I had to watch."

Chuuya felt the little energy he had left going towards his anger for the suicidal maniac, and he glared at him. "I used Corruption because I trusted you. You..."

The smaller male raised his shaking fist at Dazai and planted it square in his chest with the equivalent of a soft tap.

"better take me... to the extraction point."

Chuuya finished before his over used body gave away, and he collapsed the brunette catching his body before it hit the ground.

Dazai smiled admiringly at the unconscious male, and even though he knew he couldn't hear it, softly whispered,

"Leave it to me, Partner."

A/N: This is just a small prologue for anyone to get an idea of where the story starts. And I promise the real chapters will be longer than this!
