This is the first story I have done for this site, and with my recent discovery of the game Lamento: Beyond the Void, I have come to love the pairing of Asato and Konoe. I will have OC's but there are no self-inserts.
---
It had been nearly four years since the Void had dispersed. Four years that Konoe and Asato been together. In that time, the dark-skinned, black cat wanted to return to Kira, and Konoe could sympathize. There were many times he had wished to return to his own home town too, despite how badly he was treated, and Asato was very much the same. So they returned together. The elder had warned them that acceptance would likely be tough, still they were allowed to live there.
Early one morning, while the two cats were nuzzled together as they slept, Asato's black ear twitched, as if he heard something faint. Deep blue eyes opened at the recognition of the sound. It was a song, or possibly it was his imagination. He had been hearing it in his sleep the last few nights, and just to be sure, he looked over at his still sleeping partner. It wasn't his beloved sanga who was singing, so perhaps he had just dreamed it. With a soft groan, so as not to wake Konoe, he sat up and began to groom himself, licking the hand and bringing it first to his ears before to help calm down before moving to his face. His eyes were closed as he finally started to relax, till his tongue tasted something just with a tinge of bitterness. When he opened his eyes red was suddenly smeared along his hand. He felt his fur stand on end, as he put his hand to his nose, and realized that blood lightly trickled down to his fingers. Now nosebleeds were in no way anything to get concerned about so he held his nose carefully to let it stop as his ears stood to attention, just to make sure his lover hadn't woken up. There was no sense in concerning Konoe over something so trivial.
Once it had stopped, the black cat had removed any evidence of the nosebleed before lapping up a few drinks of water, and continued to groom himself until Konoe had awoken. Finally a soft groan entered his ears, and they perked happily as Konoe finally woke up. "Good morning." Asato spoke in his usual quiet tone, as he made his way beside the white and brown cat, purring softly and nuzzling against the other's shoulder.
Konoe used his arm to get into a sitting position as he returned the affection with a soft purr of his own and responded, "Morning... Have you been up long?" The paler cat gave a wide yawn while he waited for a response and began to groom himself as well to wake up.
The quiet, dark-skinned cat gave a genuine smile as he settled, already forgetting about the song that woke him, but he shook his head in response. After a few moments he tilted his body forward, "I was thinking we might make a trip to Ransen." His tone wasn't assertive, letting Konoe know that it was up to him. Still he continued, "You could visit your friend, and maybe we could see flowers."
'Ah... So that was it,' Konoe had figured out. Asato still hated the hustle and bustle of the big city, and Konoe could sympathize. It was a nice place to visit. But Asato must have figured that he must miss talking with Tokino. He also guessed that Asato missed the smell of that beautiful garden. Almost immediately, Konoe gave a light smile, showing his fangs lightly as he nodded, "Sure. I wouldn't mind that."
They spent just a little time preparing for their trip, and they were able to leave before the Moon of Light reached high in the sky, allowing them to reach the bustling town a few hours later. Now that the Void was gone, travel was much smoother, and they could reach nearly any destination much faster than they could before. Though once they finally reached Ransen, the murmurs from cats on the streets and tense expressions set both of them on alert. Both of them could sense worry coming from them. Something had happened. Konoe's ears twitched as he tried to listen. There were murmurs of an illness. Suddenly he wondered if it was a good idea to linger on the streets very long. His eyes turned to his lover, and Asato's ears twitched in severe agitation. It seemed like he was concentrating very hard on something, but his deep blue eyes looked distant as well.
Konoe, giving a look of concern, gently touched Asato's strong arm with his one hand, bringing the Kiran cat's attention back to him as he asked quietly, "Is something wrong?"
Asato's eyes widened at the question, he wasn't aware he had phased out momentarily, but he gave a reassuring smile, as he swished his tail, as if to swipe away the other's worry, "I'm okay, but... can we go see the flowers first?" Something was obviously bothering Asato, Konoe reasoned and he nodded, "Alright."
They made their way to the forest, and the closer they got to the garden, the more Asato's ears pricked, turning every which way, carefully listening to something. Konoe was starting to get worried now. Whatever Asato was hearing wasn't coming to his ears, "What is it?" He finally asked.
Asato's dark lips moved, his voice low and rather intense, "A song..." Konoe tried to listen for anything that might resemble a song as well, but all he heard was the wind and rustling of leaves. Finally he shook his head as he spoke, "I'm sure the flowers will help calm you. You're probably just stressed." Though Asato could only give a grunt of acknowledgement.
They reached the garden... and despite being mid-spring, the whole garden, normally filled with some of the most beautiful flowers were wilted and dead. Asato was stiff in shock, and who could blame him at seeing something he loved look so utterly devastated. But that wasn't all. A body was lying among the ruined flowers. The smell of death was strong and the body's flesh looked as if it had been decaying for weeks. The cat from Karou had to turn his head away in disgust, and cover his nose from the smell. Yet Asato didn't move. Multiple layers of clothing draped over the dead cat, and the dark-skinned Kiran recognized it almost immediately, "It's a Meigi..."
Almost at the same time as the realization, the song that Asato had been hearing seemed to be getting louder. It had gone from curiously persistent to much louder, even painful. A sudden wave of nausea began to surge through Asato's body his stomach and throat burned as if he had caught fire on the inside and he started coughing relentlessly.
"What's wrong?!" Worry crossed Konoe's face as he moved to Asato's side, and was horrified to see his lover's hand painted red with blood. "Asato! Asato!" The Kiran's body was heavy in his arm as he fell forward, collapsing altogether.
