Meant to Last
*Bang*
That was all I needed to hear. I knew from that one sound; that I would never get to see her beautiful face again. I will never again get to hear her soft, clear voice.
My life was gone.
In these last seconds I have never felt so empty inside.
If only I could confess my love for her.
I fell to my knees on the cold, damp floor. My eyes slowly closed.
If only I could see those big, brown eyes once more.
~…~
The first thing I see is a white ceiling.
The first thing I feel is a hard mattress, and a soft pillow underneath my head.
The first thing I hear is my heart pounding.
Am I in a hospital?
How did I survive?
Suddenly I hear her sweet voice.
"I'm so happy you're awake," she says.
Her face had joy written all over it.
I listened to her talk; all my concentration was set on her.
"I realized what I wanted."
"And what is that"? I asked.
"I…I want to be with you Junpei, Forever." I couldn't help but blush as she said those words. Tears welled up at the corner of my eyes. I finally knew that she was feeling what I was feeling.
"I want to be with you, too," I confessed.
She starts to talk again. She tells me that our relationship will never last, because she knew the day she was going to perish. How could one stay sane; when they know the day they would take their last breath?
She whispered those confusing words to me.
"That's why this is how it should be. 'You can't die here Junpei."
Now I was confused. I thought I was safe. I thought my life was out of danger. I'm already alive, right?
And now I couldn't help, but think that may be… just may be everything was going to end in disaster.
~…~
I was shrouded in darkness; until I opened my eyes.
The moon was tainted green; proving to me that I was still in the dark hour, at Tartarus, lying on the cold, wet ground.
I looked around, and noticed Strega, and my own team staring at me. But how could I not notice my beautiful Chidori who had a shiny, gold aura glowing around her.
She looked like an angel sent from a god.
I realized she was healing me from my gun-shot wounds.
I heard my friends shouting my name; they all sounded amazed that I was able to live. They kept shouting wonderful things about her magnificent power. All I could do was smile as I listened to them, until I heard Fuuka say the most dreadful things.
"In order to revive a person she must…" She couldn't even finish her sentence, because suddenly Chidori collapsed. I caught her before her head could touch the ground. Her long, flowing red hair draped the floor, as she looked at me.
Once again I could hear her voice. She told me that her spirit will live inside of me, and we would be together forever. I didn't understand what she was trying to tell me. She wanted to protect me; just how I wanted to protect her.
Then I realized what was going on.
Our fingers intertwined, as her jaded eyes met mines.
"I love you…Junpei," she said as the life faded from her eyes.
Her hand left mine, as it fell to the ground.
Chidori, please answer me!" I yelled.
Tears ran down my cheeks.
After all we've been through together it ended with the love of my life dying.
~…~
I left Chidori on the ground, after my fight with Takaya was done.
As I walked back to the dorm with the rest of the team I heard Minato talking to himself.
"May be their love was never meant to last." He muttered.
How dare he say that! He knows nothing about the love me and Chidori shared.
I decided to stay quiet, and watch my tear drops hit the ground.
But may be Minato was correct. May be our love is gone.
~…~
A week has passed, and Minato's words still rung in my head.
"May be their love was never meant to last."
I had Chidori's sketch book sitting on my bed. I couldn't bear to look at it. Her sketches only intensified the pain.
I was sitting on the bed, while staring at the wall. My hand started moving to the left, so I can reach for the razor on my bed side table. I let the blade rest on my wrist.
Memories started to flash before my eyes.
Blood flowed from her wrist...
" Chidori! " I yelled. "Why are you bleeding?"
She does it to herself, Akihiko explained.
My eye grew wide. She does this to herself?
~…~
Tears flowed from my eyes. I watched the blade glint in the light. I pushed it hard against my wrist, and watched the blood flow from the wound.
The blood dripped unto my pants, and bed sheets.
Now I can see why she does this. It dulls the mental pain.
A few minutes later I looked at my wrist, and noticed the slash was gone.
It's gone! How is that possible?
Then I realized her spirit healed me. Chidori was still with me… She's the one who game me this life, and I won't waste it.
Minato was wrong.
Her love, and my love was meant to last.
