                            Please Read the Description first, thank you.

                                                     I remember you said, don't leave me here alone...


                                                                                    *

Mafuyu was different, yes, but that did not mean that he wasn't worthless. In fact, if you were to be asked you'd say that he was worth more than most people within this world. Mafuyu was different, yes, but that did not mean that he wasn't the perfect version of himself. You had no idea how it was to be an outcast, at least not to the extent he had to know. You were an average human girl, raised within the safe Walls of Sefu-shi, had few but very good friends and lived normally until you had decided to go shopping and had stumbled upon him. A boy merely 17 years old with the ears of a Dog as well as the tail of one. He had been dirty, bruised and bloodied and a part of his left ear had been ripped just a little bit. All in all he had looked so pathetic you couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It had gotten worse when you had taken just a small step closer to him, he had shivered violently and whimpered and begged for you to not kill him. Never in your life had you felt so much pain just by looking at someone.

Day after Day you had come to the same Alley, always bringing at least a bit of food with you to make sure the boy wouldn't starve. After you had made sure he'd gotten cleaned up you could see his features more clearly. He had soft hair, light-blond and a little bit messy. He had red eyes that obviously had sparkled with so many emotions before you met him, but now they were dulled, the color slowly fading to turn into a muddied red. It had been a week after you had found him when you had to leave earlier, your brother was to return from a Mission and you wanted to prepare dinner. It was only when you received a ever so light tug on your sleeve that you looked at Mafuyu again. His red eyes brimmed with tears and he looked at you as if he was about to lose a precious thing. Only a split second later however he realized what he had done and while furiously blushing he had quickly let go of your hand and looking away while furiously mumbling at least thirty apologies. With a soft giggle you patted his head before standing up again, "I'll go now, but don't worry. I'll come back later, I'll never let you go alone." you smiled. And that was when you saw tears streaming down his face.

And just as clearly as you could remember that you could also remember the first thing he had told you. After two months of merely talking to you you had been convinced that Mafuyu wouldn't open up to you. But he did, at the moment the both of you had been attacked by monsters that had suddenly flooded into the city. Within a few moments all the monsters had already been slain before you even had time to make one attack. You only saw Mafuyu putting away a Sword you had seen him with a few times before but never believed he'd actually use it. "Mafuyu... that... wow- I have to go tell my Brother! He could try to get you into the royal Ar-" before you had been able to run off you felt a big hand lay heavily on your shoulder before you heard a sad voice, and without looking at him you knew that his expression must have been filled with despair. "...Please... don't leave me... here... alone..." he whispered, causing your eyes to widen. Never before had anyone asked you this and sounded... so honest about it. So you sat down and talked with him until he eventually fell asleep from tiredness.

And you remembered the time you had first heard of the darkness inside his heart; the seed of evil that would slowly take control of his mind, of his soul. And it scared you. You had grown so close and just the thought of him leaving your side scared you so much. Now you knew how he felt when he said that living in a world without you would make no sense. Now you knew what he meant when he said that if he couldn't go with you he'd rather not exist at all. And you remembered just as well when he first heard the voice of the one who caused the despair that took over the people of this world. "You're alone. You'll fight alone, Mafuyu." and how he had snapped, for the first time the softs-spoken and kind Mafuyu had gotten mad, "I'm not alone! I have [Nam-]" he had stopped once he realized what he said, blushing furiously as he looked at the ground. Suddenly his fists had clenched and he had looked up again. "I have [Name]." he said, determination in his voice. "It is true that the others on the Team won't be able to help me in this realm. And it is true that I will never be accepted as a Musero. But I have [Name]. I can hear her voice, I can touch her, I can see her face and she is always there. It is true that I might have been alone for a long time..."

And then his next words made you finally realize that you loved this boy to no extent. "...But, [Name] is always there for me, she's always there when I need her. Because of her I'm not alone. Because of [Name]... Because of [Name] I finally understand what it feels like to have something you want to protect under all costs! Because of her I finally know that I am worth something, that there is at least one person who will welcome me no matter what. And yes, I might fight you alone. But the knowledge that defeating you will safe [Name] will break through the loneliness. Because I am never alone, she is always on my mind and that's why I will not be alone any longer." and with his words spoken he had banned the dark seed from his mind for at least long enough to talk with you. You remembered it all, your first kiss, the first time meeting the people important to each other, travelling alongside each other and fighting alongside each other. It all was worth it. You both held each other when it got too much, when the war and the hate got too much to bear. You comforted him when he had almost burnt to death and you were there to help him sleep when the nightmares caught a hold of him.

And now here you were, tears streaming down your face as you held the almost lifeless Mafuyu in your arms. "[Name]... please... smile one... last... time... for me..." he breathed heavily before coughing up blood. You forced a smile onto your tear soaked faced and you looked directly into his eyes. You saw fear, fear and pain and it hurt you more than anything you had ever witnessed. "Shh, Mafuyu. Just close your eyes, feel the last rays of the warm sun as it goes down." you whispered, stroking his dirtied hair as you tried your best to hold back your sobs and whimpers. "You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now." you continued to comfort him in his last moments with a saddened smile. "Let's await the morning light together... You and I, we'll both be safe and sound..." you whispered, unable to hold back the tears any long. With a pained smile you felt a cold hand carress your wet cheek before you hear the last words you would ever hear from Mafuyu, "I love you." he finally confessed, of course he had been closer than friends, but neither of you had officially stated that you were in a relationship. So hearing this as his last words pained you.

Yes, Mafuyu saved the World. But on the same day more than just the sacrifice of his life had been made. Jax had lost his arm for example, and more people of your 'Team' had lost things. But the worst loss was the loss of Mafuyu, especially since he hadn't been able to hear the words he had longed to hear from you for so long now. "I love you, too..."
Please Read this first!

The World and Characters in this Fiction belong to me, they are from a Game I am currently creating. I doubt this Fiction will get all too many views, but if you have any intentions of using anything used in here please contact me first.

So yes, this is based on a Game I am creating called "Joker Trap". It's a RPG Maker Game with Animation Scenes inside. I would've gone full-course and made it a real 3D game but you know, making a Game by yourself is already hard. Making a Game by yourself with your own fighting system, Character graphics and (most likely) animations is even harder. So yeah, I didn't want to spend 15 years on this.

This Story is a small Mafuyu x Reader One-Shot. Mafuyu is the Main Character of "Joker Trap", or well, one of the Main Characters. He is a Museros, a race that has been created a thousand years ago when an experiment to cross Humans with Feline genes to give them feline features/aspects failed. He's been abandoned by his race because unlike the others he has been born with Dog features, although nobody knows how this happened.

So yeah, basically just a small idea and I don't know, if it gets enough interest I might hurry with the game, haha.

I will go to hell for creating this as a possible ending ahaha.
