Chapter 5: The Confrontation

Splashfire99: Just to note, from this chapter onwards, the story will no longer be from Hikaru's point of view. It will be a normal sort, from no one's point of view. And, uh, Kairi got ahead of herself again. The sappy chapter is the next one, not his one. Sorry...

"Hikaru!" Kyoya yelled. "Where are you?" Kairi called. "Come out, please!" Miku added, concentrating hard to find her friend. Yes, come out! Kyoya thought in despair. I'm sorry, okay?

Miku looked dismayed. "I can't reach her." She sighed. Kyoya looked dismayed. Kairi groaned. But then, in a small voice, Miku said, "If we find her, can we ask her to call off the plan?" Kyoya gaped at Miku. "But why?" he yelled. To his shock, his cousin Kairi jumped to Miku's defence. "Miku's right," she agreed. "Hikaru has suffered far too much now. And Hyoma is relentless over what he's done." Kairi then exchanged a glance with Miku. "And we both can see that you love her, Kyoya."

All of a sudden, Kyoya found his heart beating rapidly. "What? How did you-"Kairi shrugged. "It's obvious." Miku looked Kyoya in the eye. "Go get her, Kyoya. She loves you too, you know." Kyoya started to sweat. "She does?" Kairi nodded. "Yes. Now go, quick ! Before she does something stupid!" A picture of Hyoma and Hikaru formed in his mind. It made Kyoya feel upset. And before he knew it, he was off and running. He needed to find Hikaru, and fast.

Meanwhile, Hikaru had reached a white bridge built just over the water. Memories with Hyoma flooded back into her head. Oh, Hyoma... She couldn't decide. Her former lover, Hyoma, was with Asuri, and her new crush, Kyoya, was very, very likely to break her heart a second time! All she wanted to do now was... die.

She looked into the water. How peaceful it seemed. What can I do? I have no other choice... Carefully, Hikaru climbed over the bridge and lowered herself into the water. As she sank deeper and deeper, Hikaru reached the very limit of her endurance. This is it... Goodbye, Hyoma. Goodbye, Kyoya...

Splashfire99: And, people, relax. Hikaru is not going to die. Besides, I hate sad endings. I'll try my best to work on the next to last chapter!
