It's My Life
Chapter 4: Baron's Issue
They were too late and they could do nothing as they watch Baron cry out Haru's name. None of them wished for this to happen, but none of them could change it. Her time here is done. Lune's saddened eyes were staring at Baron's form, Yuki was weeping into Lune's fur, and both Muta and Toto had their eyes cast down towards the ground, looking anywhere but at Baron. There was too much distress, too much sadness, too much…
Lune removed himself from Yuki's grasp as he slowly walked up to Baron. Kneeling next to him, he gently place a paw on the Creation's shoulder, feeling the slight trembling under his touch.
"Come on Baron, why don't we just go to the Cat Kingdom and get some rest."
Baron's mind must have been on autopilot, cause what he started to say broke their hearts.
"Rest…what rest? What's there to rest about? Can't sleep…too much pain…need Haru…"
Suddenly, without a warning, Baron threw his head up towards the sky and release an ungodly roar of pain (once again… (poor Baron)). Lune fell backwards, his paw on his chest as his heart raced wildly inside him.
"WHY?!! WHY HARU?!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE?!!" he yelled, the tears in his eyes flowing more freely. Muta walked up to Baron so he could drag him away from his spot in front of the gravestone, but he was harshly punched back by none other than Baron's fist. The Creation stood there, his fur bristling and eyes narrowed, the tears flowing though his fur freely.
"Don't. Touch. Me." he hissed at Muta, who was now starting to get back up. Muta rubbed the side of his cheek, hissing when he found the spot where the Creation had punched him at. He growled.
"You idiot!!!" Muta hissed, stomping his way back up to Baron. Grabbing a fist full of his shirt, he gave the Creation a solid punch to the jaw, ignoring the horrified gasps behind him. Baron's eyes widened as he slowly raised his hand to his now bleeding cheek. Muta growled.
"You think you are the only one that is in pain?! Do you think that you are the onlyone that misses her?! What about us?! Huh?! Did you even think about how we feel about all this?! We miss her just as much as you do, Baron!" he yelled at the orange tabby cat, shaking him back and forth violently. The white cat's eyes started to tear up once again.
"You weren't there to see her get hit by the car!! You weren't there to see her pain!! You weren't there to watch her die!!! Even if you were there, you couldn't have saved her!"
Baron scowled, clenching and unclenching his hand at his side.
"We could have at least tried!!"
"We are cats Baron!! Cats!!! Even if you were to try and save her, you would have died as well!!"
The Creation gave a soft, heated laugh.
"Then I would have happily died by her side."
Muta let out a low, deadly growl and dropped Baron harshly to the ground. Before Baron could react, Muta had punched him hard in the gut, making him wheeze out in pain before falling unconscious into the white cat's arms. Muta sadly stared at Baron, ignoring the others as they walked to his side.
"What would you think Haru would have felt if she were to hear you say that…" he whispered into the cold night air.

The ride to the Cat Kingdom was as silent as it could ever be. Toto had to carry Baron's unconscious form in his claws for the small group was afraid that the Creation would try to commit suicide if he were to awake. Muta ran underneath the crow, his mouth full as he carried Baron's things with him. Lune and Yuki rode on Toto's back once again, the new Queen once again weeping silently into the grey cat's fur the whole ride back.
The castle came into view and around the castle stood at least hundreds of cats, all of them silently weeping or gasping when they saw what the crow was carrying in his claws. Toto stopped above the cats, hovered a bit, then gently set Baron down on the ground where the cats had made way for his landing. Lune and Yuki jumped off of his back and next to Baron and Muta, who was now panting from the long run. Lune turned to one of the guards at the side of the circle.
"Take Baron to the guest room and place him on the bed. I'll get the maids to deal with the rest."
The guards nodded, unable to speak as they did what Lune had ordered them to do. They gently picked up the Creation's form and slowly made their way through the hundreds of cats and into the castle. Toto, who was still hovering above them, stared down at Lune.
"I'll go with them and guard the window just in case." he said, following after the cats. Muta sighed.
"I guess I'll go and help out with the little babies guarding the door." he offered before he too followed after the cats and crow. Lune sighed and softly rubbed his cheek against Yuki's tear stained ones.
"Don't worry, Yuki…I'm sure we will figure something out. Besides, we still own him a favor…"
Yuki nodded.
"I hope you're right, Lune…" she whispered as she slowly followed Lune into the castle.

Baron jolted upright, his eyes widened in fear and his arm stretched out in front of him as if he was reaching to something…or someone. His whole body racked with violent shivers as he slowly realized where he was. He slowly brought his hand to his chest, his heart racing inside of him at a faster pace than before. The pain was unbearable, hurtful, and it felt like his soul was being torn apart from his body. Closing his eyes, he gritted his teeth and slammed his fist against the beds wooden frame. He released another ungodly roar, letting everyone know about his fury, his hatred, his sadness, his pain…
He grabbed the lamp from the bedside and threw it across the room, watching as it shattered into millions of pieces. It still wasn't enough to calm his anger that he was feeling. He shot out of the bed, and proceeded to tare apart the room, shattering, throwing, anything to calm the feeling he was having. After a minute he collapsed to the ground with exhaustion and pain, pounding the floor with his fists as the tears in his eyes flowed down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground below him.
"Wow, Baron…you really outdone yourself this time."
Baron snapped his head up towards the window to see Toto standing on the rim of it, his eyes darting back and forth between the mess and him. The Creation hastily got to his feet and backed up to one of the corners of the room, hissing and baring his fangs at the crow as if he didn't recognize him. Toto stared at him worryingly.
"Baron…it's me, Toto."
Baron didn't seem to care as he continued to push himself up against the corner, his ears flattening in an aggressive manner. Seconds later, Muta entered the messy room. His eyes widened.
"What happened here?!"
Toto nodded his head towards Baron. "Why not asking him?"
Muta stared at Baron, his eyes widening even further as he saw the aggressive position his friend was in.
"You did this?!"
Baron didn't answer as he jumped to another corner of the room farther from the two, his fur bristling. Muta turned back to Toto.
"What's gotten into him?! Why won't he answer?!"
Toto shrugged. "I wish I knew why as well."
Baron started to cough uncontrollably, making both Toto and Muta turn towards him. Their eyes widened when the Creation collapsed to the floor once again, one of his hands supporting him off the ground as the other one covered hi mouth.
Then the most horrible thing happened. With one final cough, Baron's white gloved hand was completely dyed red with his blood. He removed his hand, making his two friends gasped in shock and in horror as a trail of the Creation's blood trailed down his jaw and onto the floor. Then he collapsed.
"Baron!" Muta yelled, rushing to the orange tabby's side. He knelt next to him and gently picked him up before rushing out of the room with Toto not too far behind.
"What's happening to him?!" Muta yelled to Toto as he ran towards the Medical room where the cat nurses and doctors resided at.
"I think I have a pretty good idea on what it is, but I don't think you will want to hear it!"
"Just tell me!!!"
Toto went silent for a moment, his eyes saddened as he looked towards the ground.
"Baron is getting sick."
Reaching the Medical Center, Muta busted the door from its hinges and ran to one of the doctors.
"We need medical attention and fast!!"
They didn't need to be told twice since they could see the reason why. Minutes later, Lune and Yuki appeared beside them.
"What's going on?! What's happening?!" Lune frantically asked. His eyes widened along with Yuki's when Muta turned around with a sick Baron in his arms. They saw the blood running down the Creation's mouth. Soon after one of the doctors came in and motioned for all of them to follow him. He led them to a bed, where Muta gently laid Baron down on before being escorted back out of the room. Once the door shut behind them, Lune turned to Muta.
"What's going on here? And why was Baron bleeding from the mouth?"
Toto eyes trailed to the floor once again.
"I believe I can explain that."
Everyone's eyes turned to him. Toto continued.
"Baron rarely feels any emotions since he usually can control them very easily…but ever since he has met Haru, his emotions had started to slip from him. Only a month later did he even realize that he had fallen in love with Haru, since he would tell us he could rarely get her out of his head. Now since he found out about Haru's death, his emotions started too acted up violently, slowly tearing him apart one by one. Now I realized why his emotions where acting up so badly and it was because he had unconsciously linked his soul with Haru's."
Everyone gasped in response.
"What?!! What do you mean he had 'unconsciously linked his soul to Haru's'?!! What is happening to Baron, Birdbrain?!!" Muta shouted. Toto's eyes saddened even more.
"Muta, if we don't find a way to make Baron happy by the end of this week…he will die of depression."
