Thanks for reviewing juju and Oderin-Kuro~
I was seriously about to burst into tears when writing this.
Don't kill me.
There's one more chapter after this... from Gakupo's point of view.
Don't forget to review!
[Chapter 10 - Kaito Shion]
We followed Kageito in the rain to the cemetery. I wonder... why does it always rain on the day someone in our family has died? At the gate, he stopped.
"I guess I should leave you now then... I know you'd rather go by yourself." By myself? Kaito's coming with me though, right? I turned around and he was nowhere in sight.
Where'd he go?
I turned back to the gate to find Kageito gone. Am I... all alone now? I guess Kaito went back to his house with him... Kageito did say it was best I go alone... Can I though? It doesn't feel right without Kaito.
I didn't notice when my feet led me to wander through the cemetery, stopping at Kaiko's grave.
'Kaiko Shion'
Kikaito and I were looking for Kaiko. She ran off when neither of us were paying attention and now we don't know where she went...
Suddenly, a few blocks away we heard screaming. With Kikaito already running over, I could only trail behind.
When we reached there, we were greeted by the sight of Kaiko's corpse. She lied there, in the middle of the street, eyes wide open as if they were still gazing around. It was a hit and run, there was no damaged or bloody car in sight.
A girl who I recognized from school as Nekomura, was sitting on the curb, crying, with a white cat sitting on her lap.
"It's all my fault..."
"How?" Not noticing me walk up to her, she was surprised by the sudden voice.
"I-I wasn't holding onto my cat's leash tight enough... She ran into the street and-" She broke into sobs.
"She tried to save her?" She nodded. Kaiko always loved animals, I guess that's not too surprising, but still...
"Do you know her...?" I looked away from the crying girl.
"She's my sister."
"Taito, what are you doing over there? You can just walk away from me like that! I can't lose you too today..." He grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
I looked to the left of her grave, to find my brother's.
'Zeito Shion'
He didn't have to do it...
I was about to leave, when I noticed the name on the other side of Kaiko's.
'Kaito Shion'
Huh?
No, that's wrong! He's still alive! Unless...
"Kaito! This is where you went off to? I thought you went back to Kageito's house with him! You said you wouldn't leave me..." I fell to my knees.
I stabbed myself with my icepick again. I made Kaito upset, I didn't mean to, but I saw his eyes tearing up. I don't want to ever hurt him again, I only want to make him happy...
I dragged the icepick across my chest, letting the wound spread.
If Kaito's hurting, then I must hurt too. Another wound is added, each time I upset him.
I'm so sorry, Kaito. Will you forgive me? Once you see all these injuries, will you know how much I truly care? I want you to know I don't mean it. Will I ever be able to tell you the reasoning behind them though?
Kaito...
I'm sorry...
I love you...
I pulled out my icepick.
"I'm sorry, Kaito. Don't be upset with me, but I'm hurting myself, and it's not because I hurt you. It's because you were hurt. It may not have been from me, but we'll suffer together, okay?"
I stabbed myself close to my heart, hopefully hitting. I don't know whether it did or not, but the blood proved I was at least hurting myself. I kept stabbing.
"Don't worry, Kaito. I'll be there soon, okay? We can never separate. You promised we'd always be together, remember?" My vision slowly began to fade, and I started losing feeling in my body. "Kaito... I'll b-be right t-there..." Coughing, came more blood, adding to all that surrounded me. "I-I l-love y-you."
I closed my eyes, ready to sleep for eternity, and see Kaito once again.
