Prologue: The End
Hiro
"Kazuma?" Hiro said loudly, as he moved to Kazuma's sliding door to enter his house. "Kazuma?" he said again, wondering if Kazuma was even home. Hiro hoped Kazuma wasn't, because he did not come to see him. Hiro came to see Rin. It would be easier to slink through the house to see her without stopping and talking to Kazuma. Kazuma would always eye him like he was looking right through Hiro. Hiro didn't like that.
Hiro heard Kunnimitsu muttering in the office. The door was closed meaning he was probably on the phone for who knows what reason. Hiro did not care, he was careful to walk quitely as to not stop and talk to Kunnimitsu either. Hiro did not feel much like making small talk. He wanted to see Rin. Actually, he had been dying to see Rin. He had gotten a phone call. Rin said she was feeling ill and she wanted Hiro to come. So, Hiro dutifully came to care for her. It was easier to do that if Kazuma wasn't around.
"But what if she's worse then usual?" thought Hiro. "It might actually be easier to have him around if she is." Hiro then felt slightly ashamed of himself for wishing Kazuma wasn't home. Because he might be able to help.
"Rin?" Hiro called softly into her door at the back of Kazuma's house. "Rin?" Hiro said again waiting for answer.
"Mhhm." came loudly from the other side of the door.
"I'm coming in." Hiro announced. He open the sliding door. Rin was laying face down in her pillow. half asleep. Hiro sat down on the bed and stroked her back. "I'm here, Isuzu." Hiro said. Rin looked up and scoffed.
"You should have come sooner." Rin said.
"I'm sorry, I had just gotten home from school." Hiro said, still in his school uniform.
"I want to go somewhere. Go tell Kazuma we're going on a walk." Rin said sternly, looking up from the pillow.
"Not right now. You look pale." Hiro said quietly.
"Please? I'm sick of staying inside." Rin pleaded. Then she sat up slightly. Suddenly her back arched. After a second of making retching noises red liquid spilt out of her mouth and onto the bed and Hiro.
"Oh god!" said Hiro, standing up with a start. He pulled her hair out of her face until she was done. "Turn over and I'll be right back." Hiro said while stroking her hair. He stood up as Rin turned over on her back. Hiro slid open the door and called for Kazuma and Kunnimitsu. Now he was really hoping Kazuma was home. This would be easier to deal with if he was here. Hiro noted the poof of smoke that appeared as he walked out the door.
"I'm so sorry, Isuzu. I'm sorry. I love you. Please be okay." Thought Hiro as he took off down the hall.
"Hiro!" Kazuma called for him.
