The Flowers On The Hill (Y/N X Tomioka Remake.)
Stranger
What's there to live for anymore if they're gone...? I don't even have grandparents or anybody to rely on anymore..
I should just get myself killed.
I held the gun near my throat, wanting to end my life.. just then, I hesitated.. My hands were trembling..
As I finally gathered my courage to pull the trigger—
That man who grabbed me looked at me and questioned me.
Tomioka Giyuu.
What are you doing to yourself..?
That man's eyes.. Looked so menacing yet so beautiful..
I panicked, I must calm down..
Tomioka Giyuu.
Who am I is not important. What are you trying to do earlier?
You.
Tsk, that isn't important to you as well, old man!
I immediately grabbed my rifle as I aimed it at him.
You.
(pants) Why are you here..?! Get away from me if you're going to be a pain in the butt about it..!
It didn't seemed to work because his face looked as if it's stoned, like he has no emotions.
Tomioka Giyuu.
A hunting rifle.. you're a hunter.. I see. Why didn't you defend your family?
You.
Why do you want to know, it's neither of your business.
He suddenly snapped as I then shuddered.
Tomioka Giyuu.
JUST TELL ME!
Tomioka Giyuu.
..WHY ARE YOU BEING SUCH A PAIN ABOUT IT HUH?!
I stood silent as I try not to lash my anger out again, I've lost control again.. If this keeps up.. it's going to make this situation worse..
You.
I.. didn't defend them because.. I was out hunting for food.
You.
(gulps.) ..when I came back they're dead.. and what I was doing earlier.. I was trying to 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 myself..
I glared at him, holding back the urge to sob like a baby.
You.
..there.. You happy now?
Tomioka Giyuu.
(He tosses my rifle to me before grabbing my on my haori roughly.) Listen here, smartass.
Tomioka Giyuu.
If you think killing yourself solves all this problem, you're wrong. How pathetic could you be to do these kind of thing to yourself..?! All you can do is move on with your life.
You.
(I panted heavily as I gritted my teeth and holding the urge back.) ...how..? How can I move on?!
You.
They're 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗; and they're 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗜 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘!
Tomioka Giyuu.
Shut up with your nonsense.
Tomioka Giyuu.
What bullshit you have to spout about they are the only family you have..
Tears came out of my eyes as I charged in to kill him.. But he didn't even move.
Tomioka Giyuu.
You've must've been so spoilt by your family, 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂?!
He knocked my gun away from me before hitting me with the gun, on my back.
I fell and was knocked out, but after a while I woke up again.
You.
(I glared at him again) ..you bastard..
Tomioka Giyuu.
(looks down at me.) ..you're awake.
You.
Hell yeah I am, old man.
You.
(I got up and dusted my kimono.) ..why don't you just let me die here, even though you got the chance to just kill me..?
Tomioka Giyuu.
Because I choose not to. Desperate people like you who are obsessed with death doesn't even deserve to die, atleast that's what I wanted to prevent.
He looked away as he crossed his arms.
Tomioka Giyuu.
Go to Mountain Sagiri, there's a master there that could teach you some sword skills so you could keep moving on.
Tomioka Giyuu.
He'll probably give you a reason to live as well.
Tomioka Giyuu.
I don't have time for a dumb lecture.
Saying this, he dissapeared.
You.
.. Well, guess I have to "find a reason to move on and live".. said by that old man.
You.
How old is he anyway..
I sighed before looking at my parent's corpses for the final time.
You.
Well.. Mom, dad.. I have to leave for Mountain Sagiri, I.. Love you both.
I smiled before tidying my things.
It's time I leave tomorrow.
