Hey readers! Thanks to those of you who reviewed. It is very encouraging. I know all of us know how the story is going to end, but don't stop reading. This is where things get serious. MissAnimeMiss, brace yourself for chapter 8. :(

Also here is something fun: I am not an artist but would love to have artwork of Kimiko. What do you guys think she looks like? She has honey blonde hair with an assortment of highlights and lowlight streaks. Bold brown eyes. A round face. and wears a forest great P coat. If you are an artist please upload a picture of Kimiko as your profile pic for a day then PM me so I can save it! I might use it as my cover the next time I write a story with this OC (which is in the works already!)

And now try to enjoy the last couple chapters of "Our Last Day" - CC

Chapter 7 - The Pain

We enter Homra Bar and I carry Misaki's board upstairs to my room. "Hey! Where do you think you are going."

"Shhh!" I point to Anna asleep on the couch. "I'm putting this away until Mikoto is back."

"You don't trust me do you?"

"Nope..." Of course I couldn't. The moment I wasn't looking he would snatch it and race back to Scepter 4 like an idiot. I know he isn't the one they are looking for though. I might be wrong, but that white-haired fellow that was watching us earlier had to be the one. He certainly was giving off the right vibes. I open my door and toss the board onto my bed. I notice Tatara's camera is missing from the nightstand. "I knew he wouldn't leave that behind." I smirk and close the door. "Alright, Misaki..." I hurry down the steps and back into the bar. "Let's find something useful for you to do around here to keep you occupied. Where's Shohei."

"Here!" He comes out of the kitchen drinking a soda. "Official babysitter at your service. Hey,did Totsuka get ahold of you yet?"

"I just hung up with him. Thanks for relieving him of duty so we can actually get some time together tonight." Anna starts to whisper in her sleep. "Totsuka?" We quiet down, "Looks like we're being too loud. Why don't you boys see if you can hack the blues surveillance images. See if you can get a clean picture of the guy sneaking around their territory. I'll be back in about half an hour." They both nod as I fasten my dark green jacket and untuck my hair from it. "And Shohei. Don't let Misaki have his board back." He nods as Misaki lets out a growl.

I make my way to the door, finally off duty for the day... "AGH!" I grab my shoulder. There is pain shooting through it from my shoulder blade. I drop onto one knee. "Kimiko? What's wrong!?" I fall onto all fours as the pain spreads. "Something... something isn't right." My head starts spinning and I fall onto my back. Suddenly a second pain shoots through my chest like it has been peirced through the heart. At the same moment, Anna sits up and shouts the last name I want to hear her sream. "TOTSUKA!"

Without hesitation, Shohei drops his can of soda. He jumps the counter and runs to his phone on one of the tables. Misaki races towards me and lifts my head. I feel his panic. It's almost stronger than the pain shooting from my Homra mark. We can hear Shohei cursing on his phone, "Come one Totsuka. pick up. Pick Up! Damn!" He hangs up and dials another number. My world is still spinning. It's like the ground has completely caved in on me. I don't understand what is going on. Why Tatara's name. Why did she say Tatara's name? What has he done? I can't just lie here, but every limb is somehow paralized as if my very core has gone missing. "Where is he Kimiko?" Misaki looks into my eyes and tries to keep me calm, but I can feel his worry.

"Three blocks. Fourth building. on the left. The roof." He looks at me. Questioning if he should leave me there. "Misaki... go find him." Without another moment of hesitation he retrieves his board from my room and runs out of the bar. I roll my head over and see Anna sitting on the couch. She is staring at the floor as if she just whittness the most horrific nightmare. Shohei is shouting through his phone. "Mr. Kusanagi?! I know! I know you're busy but... something's happened. We think it's Totsuka."

Those are the last words I hear as I black out.
