"Jaden!" Bastion yelled as he ran down the steps of the school after him.

"Leave me alone, Bastion!" Jaden yelled back he he continued to run away.

Finally, Bastion caught up and grabbed Jaden's wrist.

"Why are you running away from me?!"

"You know perfectly well why! How could you do that, Bastion! How could you go off and kiss someone else?!" Jaden yelled, tears starting to come down from his eyes.

"I did not kiss her! She kissed me!"

"Oh, and you moved away?! What did you do to stop her?!"

"Nothing!" He yelled, letting go of Jaden's wrist. "Nothing! I said, 'Kiss me, baby, kill the relationship with the one person who I love more than anything and make me miserable for the rest of my horrible life!' That's what I said! Her kiss meant nothing to me!" Bastion yelled, then started to lower his voice to a normal level. "And you were right. Those things don't happen for no reason. They happen to teach you something. And now I know that I will never, ever love anyone more then I love you."

"I don't believe you." Jaden whispered. "How can you go off and let another person kiss you and still think you have feelings for me?!"

"Because I did, and I do!"

"No, you don't!" Jaden yelled then turned around and started to run away again.

"Jaden! Don't run away! Get back here!" Bastion yelled, and ran after Jaden.

Jaden left the school and went out onto the road. He had his eyes closed so he couldn't see what was coming. Pretty soon though, a car came and hit him. He went up and over the roof, before falling on the other side of it.

"Jaden!" Bastion yelled and ran up to him, more concerned now then ever. He kneeled down next to Jaden and looked at him. Jaden had scratches all over him and his eyes were closed. "Jaden, please don't die on me... please." Bastion whispered.

"What's going on?" Syrus asked as he ran up to them, Zane right next to him. "We heard a car screech and came running."

"Jaden, just got hit by a car." Bastion whispered.

"What?!" Zane and Syrus both yelled, concern in both of their voices as they kneeled down too.

'Why Jaden?' Syrus thought. 'He's my best friend. Why him?' He asked himself, and a tear escaped his eye.

"Maybe... if we can get him to the hospital wing and with a little bit of luck... he can get through this." Bastion said as he picked Jaden up and took him to the hospital, with Zane and Syrus following him.

-- About a half an hour later --

Zane, Syrus, and Bastion were in the waiting room, waiting to hear any news at all about Jaden. Syrus was sitting on Zane's lap, crying on his shoulder, while Zane just held him close, letting him cry.

Then a nurse came out and went up to them, looking very sad.

"How is he?" Bastion asked, standing up, and concern shown in his eyes.

"He's alive, but only just." She said. That caused Bastion to look down sadly, and caused Syrus to start hysterically crying.

"Can I see him?" Bastion asked.

"He's not awake. He's in a coma-like state right now."

"I don't care. I need to see him."

"Well... if you insist." She said, then looked at Zane and Syrus. "If you two and gonna say something too I suggest you do it now."

"Why?" Zane asked.

"Because he might not have much longer to live." She said, and Syrus started crying again.

'I shouldn't of said anything. Stupid me!' Zane thought. Then he stood up, having Syrus in his arms like a baby and brought him into Jaden's room, Bastion following them.

When they got in there, Syrus got down from Zane's arms and went right over to Jaden.

"Jaden?" Syrus asked, sadly. "Please don't die, Jaden, please." Syrus whispered, and Zane came up behind him.

"Sy... I don't think there is anything we can do."

"Don't say that!" Syrus snapped, which caused Zane to take a step back. Syrus looked down when he heard Jaden groan. He saw Jaden's eyes open a little bit. "Jay?"

"Sy?" Jaden asked when he realized who had said his name and his vision cleared a little bit.

"Jaden, you're okay?" Syrus asked.

"Not really. I feel so weak." Jaden said, breathing becoming more and more lighter. "We were... some team, huh?"

"Were?" Zane asked. "Come on... we're still a team."

"Come on, you can get through this. You're a Yuki. Come on, Jaden, come on. Tell him he's gonna be alright, Zane." Syrus said, but Zane knew the truth so he just stayed quiet.

"Is Bastion here?" Jaden asked, and Bastion came into view.

"Yes, I am."

"Bastion... I'm so sorry." Jaden whispered, and Bastion went over to the other side of Jaden's bed and grasped his hand.

"You're sorry? For what? You didn't do anything?"

"Yes, I did. I overreacted and now I'm dying."

"That's not your fault. I should of never let her kiss me."

"And that wasn't your fault. You can't control what other people do." Jaden whispered.

"Yes, but I can always control what I could do in a situation." Bastion said. Then Syrus hugged Jaden.

"I want you guys to be alone... one last time." Syrus said, and a tear slid down his face as Jaden hugged him back with his free arm. "I-I'll never forget you."

"I'll never forget you either, Sy." Jaden said, then Syrus walked out of the room.

"Goodbye, Jaden." Zane said.

"Goodbye, Zane."

"Listen, Jaden, I know we haven't exactly been the best of friends, but..." Zane said, then went up to Jaden and hugged him quickly before pulling away. "Goodbye." He said, before following Syrus out.

"There good friends." Bastion said, and Jaden faced him.

"Yeah, they are." He whispered, then placed his free hand on the side of Bastion's face. "I'm gonna miss you the most, Bastion."

"I'll miss you too, my love." He said as he placed his free hand on top of Jaden's and gave it a light squeeze.

"Bastion, can you do me a favor before I go?"

"Anything."

"Can you give me one last kiss? I want to be the last one to kiss you before I kill you." Jaden said, and Bastion smiled lightly before leaning down and brushing his lips across Jaden's gently. When they puled away, Jaden smiled lightly. "Thank you, Bastion. I needed that." Jaden said, then felt a pain in his chest, like his lungs were collapsing. "Now I have to go."

"Bu-bu-but... there are so many things that I want to tell you."

"You can tell me anytime... I'll be listening... when you pray..." Jaden said, then closed his eyes and the heart monitor showed a straight line.

Jaden Yuki had just died.
