Anise's POV:
No... it's blood.
Flower petals stained red with blood...
I watched in horror as Haruto stood over Kaede who was injured badly, almost to the brink of death.
"The color of blood suits you... Red Rose." I heard Haruto said as he licked off some of the blood on Kaede's neck. I couldn't find the power to move my feet or mouth as I just stood there.
Kaede!
Haruto continued. "You most of all... Red Rose... I cannot forgive..."
"Die."
Haruto raised his hand to choke Kaede but I finally found my voice. "KAEDE!!"
Haruto paused, hearing me. "Ahh... I was planning to hide it from you a bit longer but..." He stood up and grinned.
I ran over to Kaede and just as I did, he said, "Nice to meet you, my sovereign. I am the yellow rose, Haruto Kisugi. I am your true rose."
What is he... talking about? Haruto!?
He grinned innocently. "Sorry I've been decieving you, Anise." Then he pointed to his neck. "But that's part of your punishment for losing the choker."
"What?" I said, confused.
Scrreeeechh--
Before Haruto could say anything, I heard tires coming from a car parked nearby.
"Lady Anise!!"
Tenjo?! Are the Rose Knights here? But... I didn't call for them! Well, forget that! Kaede! He needs medical treatment ASAP!!!
Haruto, who had also heard Tenjo and figured that the other Knights had come, jumped onto the roof of a nearby building. "Your friends are here. Catch ya' later!"
"Haruto-!" I yelled after him.
"That was..." Tenjo started.
"President Tenjo!" I ordered. "Help Kaede!!"
For a second, I had almost forgot but I'm glad I remembered because it seemed that his situation just got worse. His breathing was extremely unsteady and his face was covered with sweat.
"His wounds are like mine." Mutsuki said.
"Lady Anise, use my white rose card." Tenjo suggested.
I took out President Tenjo's card and kissed it. White rose petals floated aroind the area. "Okay! Please help Kaede..."
"Don't worry. Leave the rest to me." He smiled at me.
Mutsuki took me home and I thought about the events that had happened earlier.
Mutsuki was attacked yesterday... and he isn't okay. He's flying much lower than usual. Probably because of his injuries. Or maybe what he's thinking about right now... And Kaede... he was bleeding badly. It looked like he was about to die... I can't believe Haruto did that!!!
