The flashing lights were not helping my pounding heart. My mind was racing. My breathe shallow. All I could hear was the beating of my heart as it became louder and louder. The sirens…the paramedics rushing around… the police calling in for more help… I just wanted to scream. STOP! STOP! STOP! I wanted everything to stop and rewind. How the hell did this happen! Why did it happen to me! Why didit have to be her!
"She's not going to be here much longer…" I heard a distance voice say. It was then I notice that my feet had become one with the ground and in front of me a paramedic was trying to talk. But I couldn't hear what she was saying. Her mouth was moving but no words came out of it. I just stared blankly asher mouth formed soundless words.
Then I notice she was gently moving me towards something. I notice she was moving me in the direction of her. My eyes widen as her full form came into view. I just could not believe this was happening.
There she was. Lying on the street. But I could only see half of her. I could only see her upper body. Her lower body was pinned under the land cruiser. The land cruiser that caused all this trouble. The owner was drunk and fell asleep at the wheel. The car hit a rough ice patch and flipped. And my sister ,taking her usual walk before dinner, got hit withit full blow. Now this car was on top of her. It was causing her to lose her life this very moment. I wanted to feel rage. I wanted to feel the anger run through my veins. But all I could do was kneel next to my sister. All I could do was feel my heart heavy as she gave me a weak smile.
"Hey little bro…" she cut herself of as she coughed up blood. She reached up slowly and touched my cheek. Her hand was ice cold. I cupped her hand with mine and returned a weak smile.
"Please don't leave me Saku-chan…" I could hear my voice breaking and my eyes start to sting with tears. "You're all I have left…" I let them fall. I didn't have the energy to wipe them away. All I wanted to do was give my full attention to her.
"Sorry Dai… but I'm dying…" she couched again, "Please remember me but please be happy…Dai…where is he?" She looked weakly around searching.
I asked the paramedic to bring him to me. She nodded and walked off. Moments later she handed me a baby barely eight months old. I cradled him and saw that he was sleeping. I also saw that the only scar on him was right on his eyebrow. I smiled. No real harm came to this little angel.
I handed him to Sakura. She smiled softly as she stared at her baby boy.
"Sorry my darling Ryu… I won't be able to see you grow up… but your uncle will…" she smiled up at me, "and I'm sure he'll tell me all about it."
She handed Ryu to me. "Please take care of him. And tell me all about his life. I love you both."
"I love you too," I whispered as I felt her hand go limp. My tears stopped as I watched her face away. Then I looked down at Ryu, who was still in his peaceful slumber. I smiled. I still have you I thought. I still have you.
Okay that's how it starts. Sato will appear in the next chapter. Sorry to the Dark and Krad fans but they will not be appearing in this story. Till the next chapter.
