Wyji: Death's Kiss

[† W y j i: CAPITULO S A I S]

|ALLUCA: When everything turns to blue.|

[] ——————————— means a new memory.

[] This is a bit long update since it's a special and the last chapter about Alluca and Wyji.

— |Present time|

— Seoul, South Korea

The reaper sits on his favourite chair, leaning his back while massaging his forehead. He was in a very deep thought, and it seems like he was drowning from it, couldn't escape. While closing his eyes, he starts recollecting the memories he shared with the girl he deeply loves. At the same time, recollecting the old pain.

— London, England

— 18th century

Days have been passed and still, Wyji's power is still not coming back to normal. And at the same time, no missions are given to him because of what he did. But with Alluca by his side, he doesn't even mind at all how long it will take as long as he's with this girl. He feels so different whenever he's with her, he feels so normal. He feels like he turns into a mere mortal.

❝Say Wyji, you're not a human are you?❞ The young girl asked him out of the blue, one afternoon as he secretly visited her in their house. He cannot answer her at first but he took all the courage he has and bravely answered her.

❝I am not Alluca, for I am a reaper, a Death God.❞ Wyji wants to cover her ears, afraid of what will be her reaction upon discerning the real man he is. Will she run away? Will she be angry? Or will she forget about him and doesn't want to see him anymore.

❝I knew it.❞ cackling, she looks at Wyji's eyes. ❝So I guess, the night I saw you was the night you were about to take my soul.❞ Alluca gives her palm a glance. ❝Because of my weak body, because of my illness, because I'm supposed to be dying that night, I should be sad upon knowing that but I'm still happy.❞

❝Happy? Aren't you scared of me?❞

❝Nope. I'm not. And I'm happy because the reason why I've met you is because I'm dying.❞

The Death God cups young Alluca's cheeks; he can't deny the fact that he really enjoys the company Alluca's giving him. He once said that he wouldn't fell in love with a human, that those reapers that fells into the trap of love were all fools, however, he discovered himself being a fool. That he is a fool when it comes to Alluca.

Wyji close the gap between him and Alluca's face. Alluca didn't complain and just closes her eyes; about an inch away, when he can now press his lips against hers, a tremendous pain jolted all over his body, making him stop. Alluca was now wondering why Wyji is still not kissing him, but when she opens her eyes, Wyji is now lying down on the floor while clutching his chest. His veins were all exhibiting on his face and pain is written all over it as its turning into purple.

❝Wyji---- Wyji. What's happening to you?❞ Alluca was so worried that she shed tears. ❝What should I do?❞

That's when Huos, Wyji's friend come out to the scene. ❝You must be Alluca. I'm sorry but I have to take him with me.❞ He carried Wyji on his back and dissolves in the air in just a blink of an eye, leaving her crying.

———————————

Alluca cannot help but to blame herself. It's been a week since he saw Wyji. She cannot convinced herself that he is just fine, a thought that the only way for her to see him is to just die.

❝Alluca.❞ a familiar voice called out her name. ❝Never ever try to think about dying again.❞

With a great happiness she's feeling. Alluca runs and hugs Wyji so tight. ❝I miss you. I seriously missed you Wyji.❞

The Death God widely open his arms, hugging Alluca back even tighter. ❝My love, I miss you too.❞

❝M-My love?❞ Her face turns red, still sobbing.

❝I love you, Alluca.❞ Wyji gave him a big smile. ❝I may not be a human--- but I truly love you.❞

❝I love you too.❞ Wyji couldn't be much happier than hearing those words coming from her. ❝Wait! I will say something again. Never! As in never ever try to kiss me again. Promise me.❞

A bitter smile appeared on the reaper's face. ❝I promised.❞

———————————

❝What do you want to do in the future, my love? What's your biggest wish?❞ Wyji asked the love of his life.

❝Hmm--❞ Alluca rubbed her chin before giving him an answer. ❝I want to recover from this sickness. I want to get well so that I can have lots of kids and grandkids and grand grand grand kids with you. Cause I want to be your wife.❞

Then Wyji chuckles as he heard her answer. She was so honest that he can't help but to love her more.

❝How 'bout you then?❞

❝I want to become a human. So that I can make your wish come true. Let's face everything together.❞ said Wyji who's smiling from ear to ear.

———————————

And now's the time where we will reach the saddest part of his life. Two years. Exactly two years when he and Alluca met each other. Wyji was so into her. He was so precious to him like she is a very fragile gem that he has to take care off.

❝My friend. You should stop seeing her.❞ His comrade Huos hands him a black envelope, inside is the next mission he was assigned.

❝Huh?❞ Upon exposing the card, Wyji's eyes pins on his friend. ❝Why are you giving this to me just now? She was dying right now.❞

❝Sorry but I have to.❞ Wyji ignored his friend and vanished; he went to where Alluca is. She is now in the hospital fighting for her life.

❝No. No. Nooo! Alluca, listen to me! Fight for your life.❞ The reaper is now hysterically watching her while the doctors are still trying to save her life. Her back arched as the doctor puts the device on her chest. With his invisibility, no one can see how terrified he looks like.

❝Wyji.❞ Huos patted his shoulder, he followed him cause he know that his friend needs him. An idea pops out on Wyji's head.

Wyji grabbed Huos' collar, crying. ❝The forbidden chant. Please, use it to her. I can no longer use it on her because I've used it once to Alluca. Please, I'm begging you.❞

His comrade looks down, ❝Forgive me. But we both know that the only one who can use it is the assigned reaper to take her soul, and that's you.❞

The lad fell on both of his knees, crying his heart out. ❝Someone please help her. Help her. Help Alluca, please---❞

It was like the heaven heard his prayer. His majesty, Xic, came and shows himself in front of Wyji.

❝My child, I'm here to help you. I once told you that Destiny's testing you but here I am, willing to help.❞

❝My king! Help her, please. I will do anything just for you to save Alluca.❞

Xic heaved for a very deep sigh. ❝Very well. Before that, I have conditions to ask for helping her.❞

❝Anything. Anything, your majesty. Even if you take my own existence.❞

❝In exchange of helping her, Alluca will forget everything about you. She will forget about the reaper named, Wyji. And you shall never see her again. You will leave this place. Promise not to break this and Alluca shall live.❞

❝I promised.❞ You can feel his sadness as he promised to his king. It's just as good as dying. His existence doesn't matter anymore.

❝Bid your farewell to her once you leave this place.❞ And then Xic waved his hand and a magic circle formed on the floor. The doctors that surround Alluca don't have any idea that an unexplainable things are now happening beside them. Xic now started to chant:

❝— with this power bestowed upon me;

Let this mortal live and if she deserves it thee.

With this fire of life I'm holding in my hand;

Hear my voice, grant my command.❞

After what he did, Xic disappears without saying goodbye as well as Huos. Wyji stares at Alluca who's now slowly getting stable. Everyone's so happy because it was like a miracle, Alluca is alive.

Midnight. The exact time when Alluca and him crossed each other's path. Those two years were the most precious years of his existence. He is now standing beside Alluca while holding a rose in his hand. She is still sleeping soundly, peacefully. Ahhh--- how happy he would be if he could just be with her forever; to stare at her face.

She loves the color of red, that's why he's favourite flower is a red rose. However, instead of a red one, he brought a blue rose with him, leaving it beside her.

Alluca is like an impossibledream for him. Just like how impossible for him to become a human. She probablywon't remember him when she wakes up. She was so unattainable, so close yet sofar to reach. And that's what a blue rose means--- unattainable, impossible,just like his love for her.
