Reading those doujins always gives her something to say...

[true_administrator]

[And boy is that smile just a touch forced.]

... You know, Mundane, I know you know where things are... incongruous to the real happenings. Even if I haven't told you the full story yet, and probably never will because it's more amusing for you to try to figure it out on your own.

However, I have to say, reading them as you are, seeing those things done by that representation of myself, it's a bit excessively cruel. ["Even for me."] No, I suppose I'll have to be truthful because you know what I'm going to say anyway; it hurts a bit to see things going that way.

I wish I could... I don't know where it's coming from or why it won't stop but I can't stop it... [Have a sort of bone-crushingly tight hug, Tojiko. And be glad for the whole 'already dead' thing because Miko is kind of strong.] Still, all I can think is what I did to wrong you, and yet, how your life likely would not have been better even if we hadn't married.

[yatteyanyo]

In the end, I forgave it all. Every manipulation, every little betrayal of my trust, of my devotion to you... Because in the end, if it mean being near you, being in your arms like this, it felt like it was worth it. I love you so much... I can't imagine life without you, pitfalls and all.

[Man. Bad times. Everything hurts.] ... It hurts more that you are not angry at me, you know.

[yatteyanyo]

I learn to let anger go... because if I held onto it all, there would be no room for the love that's brought me such happiness.

[true_administrator]

But you should not, Tojiko. Because if you get rid of all of it, what is left for you to continue existing on? You're a vengeful... [And she chokes on the word 'spirit' because that just hurts so much more to remind herself of.

Yes that's right. One of the greatest loves of her life, and she's a vengeful spirit. And it was something Miko probably could have prevented.]

[yatteyanyo]

... Because I still hold on to the desire to be whole again, in my heart, even if I pretend everything is alright. Because I know that I will not be able to spend eternity with you.

[She takes a deep breath, sighs, and her grip at least stops being ridiculously clingy and tight. She's got to take back her ego, she has to reestablish herself or she'll never get out. There's too much she's done wrong in her life.] ... We shall see about that. [Because she's Prince Shoutoku, she lives to bring miracles to people. One of her greatest joys is fulfilling the desires of the people.

Even if, in the end, no one can do it for her. She has to bring miracles to herself.

She'll do something.] I'm still afraid there's nothing I can truly say to make up for the times I have failed you, or wronged you. But... I will...

... You will forever be mine, Tojiko. [Theeere's that ego coming back.]

[yatteyanyo]

I... I would accept nothing less. -And that's why her spirit was going to linger. Because that forever with Miko? That. That was what she wanted. What she desired. And death wasn't allowed to claim her soul in light of it.-

[true_administrator]

Then... [She replaces herself where she had been before, forehead-to-forehead with Tojiko.] My beloved wife. Eternity would not be the same without you, in whole or even... even in part. And memories are not good enough for me.

So long as you think you can stay with me, even with all I've done and still have yet to do.

[yatteyanyo]

-Tojiko radiates elation, shivering a bit with her glee.- So be it. I am yours forevermore, my love.

[true_administrator]

[There she goes. She's feeling more confident again. Her foundation's still a little shaky, like someone whose knees are weak, but she's back up again and getting back to where she belongs.

And Tojiko? Tojiko gets a nice, long, hard kiss for her efforts because Miko is far, far too attached to her and she realizes it and now she gets to work with it. But she can work with this, she can embrace this fact.

Well, into the future.]

Thank you, Tojiko.

[yatteyanyo]

-Tojiko gave a cute, quiet gasp into that kiss, returning it after a moment of slight shock with just as much desire and truest love. Miko was her now and forever, her alpha and omega. For her, for her prince, her husband, her soulmate... she'd do anything. Including continuing to live on well after her living flesh had expired.-

[true_administrator]

[Miko could really ask for nothing more. Or less, to be perfectly fair. And after the kiss all she really wanted to do was nuzzle Tojiko's cheek and hold her for a while.

Gods knew she hadn't spent enough time as such with Tojiko since long before the Shikaisen had happened.]

[yatteyanyo]

-Tojiko was perfectly okay with the open displays of affection. She'd been needing this for awhile, too.-

[true_administrator]

[She has a wife. She loves her wife. It's a liability, but she doesn't care.]

[yatteyanyo]

-LIFE IS GOOD-

[true_administrator]

[Life is amazing.]
