//Maybe it's my mouse but I can't seem to click the masterlist link.

I've noticed you're not the only person who had trouble with this, and I believe it's all about mouse positioning. You have to click on it when the pointer is small like it is with the rest of the blog. I hope this makes sense, but if not, here's a manual link!masterlist

"Mmph." Jack stopped where he'd been walking when he felt Shizuka collide into him from behind, wrapping her arms around himself to keep from falling forward. He'd been guiding the blind girl through a nursery of spring blossoms, trying to help her find one that she'd been describing, when she must have tripped over a hose that had been haphazardly left on the ground. 

"Are you all right?" He asked, not even bothering to hide the chuckle in his voice.

I miss you.

"The flowers are blooming again, and I don't want them to be. I don't like looking at them anymore, because in every iris and camellia and rose and daylily is your smile, and I can't actually have that anymore. Where did your laugh go? Where is the tremble in your voice when you sing? Why don't the pillows smell like your shampoo? 

I don't like this. This has to be some kind of bad dream, and I'm ready to wake up. I've been ready to wake up for a long time now, but it just doesn't keep happening. Where are you? When are you going to come home? 

All I've been doing is drowning in chrysanthemums and incense. Please come home."

"Yusei and Crow don't let me stay alone anymore. They've both moved in, and they took over my garage so that they could still work on their Duel Runners. Lua's taken my place on Team 5Ds, but he keeps saying it's temporary, until I feel better. I don't know how true that is. 

The garden's kind of overgrown now, and I'm sorry about that. None of us have green thumbs. I still like to sit in it, after I take the medication they give me. Antidepressants, from the looks of it. Whatever it is, it isn't working. I don't feel any better.

I hate the way the sun shines, and the television plays the week's weather, and the radio plays the songs you used to sing along to. Why isn't the world ending without you here?"

"I think that I'm lucky that I'm not going to the same place as you when I die, because you wouldn't want to see me like this. I got marked a criminal--it only took thirty years of my life for that to happen. I don't remember what happened, but no one will tell me what I did. 

Lua is the Duelist King now, but he still says that it's my title to take back when I'm ready. He looks at me with pain in his eyes and I know that he knows it's not true. I can't tell him, though, not from this side of the bars. Yusei's married, but I don't know to who--I didn't go. I hate weddings. Ours was so beautiful, though. 

Shizuka, I'm so tired now. I want to die already, and I've tried so many times, but no one lets me. No one lets me go. I don't want to be here, don't they know that? There's nothing here for me. 

The irises don't bloom anymore."

I want the K {Yes again! ♥}

13: Stomach Kiss

"A little boy." Jack parroted back at Shizuka when she told him, earning him a warm smile and a squeeze of the hand. 

"That's what they said." She chirped gleefully, resting her hand on the slight swell of her stomach, just barely beginning to press against the loose fabric of her soil smeared apron. "He's going to be born in June, when the irises are blooming." 

Jack did a good job of hiding the wonder and amazement that had grown from the knowledge that he was going to be the father of a son before much longer. The garden was still fighting off the frost right then, but soon, the bulbs that Shizuka had planted would begin to sprout above the soil, and the spring annuals shortly after that. 

It took no more than a moment for him to undo the tie at the back of her apron and tug it off of the flower maiden, who pouted and swatted at him for stealing it from her. 

"I was working in that," She protested with a pout, but her whines went ignored in favor of her husband lifting the hem of her shirt to just underneath her ribs so that he could press a soft kiss to her slightly distended stomach. 

"Hello, prince." Jack murmured against her skin. "I can't wait for you to bloom."

15: Kiss in the Rain

     The smile on his lips was one that appeared only on rare occasions. The girl he had taken into his care was there beside him. They were taking a stroll through the park, the evening seemed well enough for her. She was so fragile, so frail. Fading quickly with each passing moment. It only made him wish that he could give much more time to her remaining moments.

     It wasn’t long before the rain had begun to fall, and it caused him to hurriedly pull off his coat and drape it over her. The rain was falling quickly, hard, and drenching both of them easily. He laughed a little as he guided her away, the two of them finding enjoyment in trying to escape the falling water. He gazed at her as the search for shelter failed. Her beauty drew her in like nothing before.

     It was like this was a second chance for him. To be able to hold someone he cared about, but then a flash of a memory of a journalist fluttered across his mind. He stopped, shook his head, and took her hands. “Shizu…” He whispered, cupping her cheek before leaning down without hesitation and capturing her lips with his own, a tender kiss.
