I Don't Own Kirby

Prologue

Susan...!

Blade stroked her sister hair, the nine-year old was dying and there was nothing she could do about it. Susan stared at her big sister, her brown eyes and red hair shined in the low light.

Blade sometimes felt she was looking into a mirror. They looked so alike, she smiled at her sister sadly. Their mother and father rushed out to get the doctor, Blade was left to keep her comfort.

"Big Sister?" Susan said to Blade in a weak voice, Blade looked at her. She held back tears at seeing her so weak. Susan was such a nice girl, she didn't deserve this.

"Yeah?" Blade asked in a weak, barely a whimper voice.

"Did you read my book" she asked, Blade smiled at her. It was so lovely, all in good detail, with the imagination writers no a day never had. Blade nodded to her, Susan smiled at her.

"Good..." she gazed into her big sisters brown eyes, "You have to move on, I know better. I won't last longer." Susan winced in pain. Blade held her hand, holding back a whimper of fear.

"It's okay, your okay, your okay." Blade whispered to her, even though she knew it was a lie. Susan held her hand, and stared at her with big brown eyes.

"I know that you will find out who you truly are. Mayumi, please never give in, do so for me." Susan whispered in a soft voice, barely even a tone to it. She winced again, and smiled sadly at her. Tears streamed down her face, as she stared at her big sister.

"Please, Susan, just hold on a little longer." Blade pleaded to Susan, hoping that everything would be okay. She gripped her little sisters hand, feeling as though she were clutching her life line. That all she had to do was hold on tight, and everything would be okay.

"Big Sis? Can you sing to me? Please..." she whispered, Blade nodded and gulped down a cry. She held Susan close to her, but if this would help her. Then yes, she would carry out her request.

"Of course." Blade muttered, her voice cracked from hold back her sadness. Blade took a shaky breath. And started to sing, even though it was a tremble. And barely a tone to it.

Deep in the meadow, under then willow.

A bed of grass, a soft green pillow.

Susan listened to the sounds, but slowly Blade's voice went in and out. She could see light in front of her. Slowly it consumed her vision. Blade went on, with her last request.

Blade had to finish for her, Susan needed her now more than eve.r She held on her sister's hand.

Lay down your head, and close you eyes.

And when again they open they open.

They sun will rise.

Blade felt her sister's hand grow limp. Susan eyes gazed into the unseen distance. Blade felt warm, salty tears stream down her face. They hit Susan's emotionless face. As Blade slowly closed her eyes.

Blade bent down and kissed her forehead. She whimpered in sadness, trying not to break down into cries and wails.

"I'm sorry." Blade whispered to Susan, "I'm sorry." she said again, holding the girl close. Looking at the pendant her dad told her would save Susan. SHe threw it against the wall. and cried in angry and pain.

Then covered up her sister one last time, and kissed her forehead. She made her look nice and peaceful. Blade looked up to the sky, and sighed lightly.

"She is in your hands now." she whispered to the wind, then picked up her phone. Blade dialed the number he told her to.

"Hello?" asked a voice on the other end.

"Evan, it's me." Blade said to her friend she nicknamed Sword.

"Blade! What happen?" he asked frantic.

"Sword..." Blade took a shaky breath, "I'll go with you, there is nothing left here for me." she told her friend. Sword was quiet for a moment.

"Blade, I am so sorry." he understood now, Susan died. Blade wiped her eyes, and gave a small whimper.

"I'm okay, I'll meet you tonight." she told her friend, Sword gave a small 'Hm...' and told her okay. They hung up, Blade sighed lightly. And pick up Susan's necklace. The one thing she would have left of home.

The one thing she would keep forever.

~She slipped away from me, I can never tell how hard that was.~
