Why?
Kurogane's POV
Why? It's a short but effective word like 'Why did you eat it if you didn't like it?' or 'Why do I bother?' but the why I asked wasn't like that…I'm Kurogane and I'll tell you a story about the why I asked him before he died. Damn the stupid mage
Flashback start
"Hey Kuro-puu, come on it's getting late and everyone is waiting for us" Fai said to me yawning slightly
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming" I said whilst walking a bit faster, I had a bad feeling in my gut that something bad was gunna happen. Trust the gut! I kept walking my eyes looking at the floor until I bumped into Fai's back "Oi, why did ya stop?" I never got an answer but I didn't have to look very far. The house we were staying in had a robber in. we didn't move until we heard Mokona scream, me and Fai ran quicker that lighting to the house "OI, WHAT THE HELL ARE YA DOIN?" I shouted at them.
"What does it look like Sherlock? We're robbing ya"
"We?" Fai said confused, one dropped down from the ceiling and grabbed me from behind "Let me go God damn it" I growled at them, I looked over to see Fai lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood not breathing. 'Crap' I thought, the leader walked up to me "I'm glad to of seen you, but now I'm very glad to kill you" he said pulling out a deadly dagger and aimed at my heart. The leader charged at me. I knew it would be fatal so I closed my eyes waiting for the pain, but it never came, I opened my eyes to see Fai standing in front of me with a dagger through his heart. Police sirens were heard and the robbers left quicker than they came. I caught Fai before he hit the ground "FAI" I shouted his hazy blue eyes looked up at me and I swear my heart stopped beating, "W-Why did you do that?" it hurt so much to see him like this,
"K-Kuro-puu…I-I'm Sorry…I-I love you…" his eyes were closing as he was saying those words… "Fai?" then it struck me…he's dead…"FAI" I screamed clinging to the lifeless body, 5 minutes later the police showed up but by then me, Sakura and Mokona were asleep with tear streaks down our faces. I was weak…I let the one that brightened up my life, the one I loved die protecting me when it should have been the other way round.
Flashback end
Its' been 5 years since that day, no one could understand other that Mokona and Sakura. I got a job working with the police the very ones who never helped that day…Damn I'm so weak. I regret everyday of life not being able to help Fai, my friends at work know but they wouldn't understand how we felt about each other.
