(WARNING!! CHARATER DEATH IN THIS ONE!! )

Rabi found out he lied to Kanda about how long he would be away. It took them one and a half years before they were back to the order. Rabi ran to the first pillar he saw and hugged it. "I missed you so much, freezing stone walls!"

"Stop being a fool and get inside." Bookman ordered.

Rabi was more than happy to do so and ran through the doors. A cry of excitement rang through the halls as just about everyone in the order came to greet him. Rabi gave everyone a hug, which took about six minutes because of the number of people. Kanda was not among them, though Rabi tried his hardest to keep his mind away from that. This task got much easier as Jerry, even though it was far past breakfast, made him a huge plate of steaming waffles.

Linali, Miranda and Allen all sat down next to him to do some catching up. After about an hour of talking Rabi asked about Kanda. No matter how much bookman hated it, he still loved him, though just couldn't act on those feelings. "Has anyone seen Yuu? I haven't said hi to him yet."

"He just got back from a mission of his own. Last time I saw him he was heading outside for some training." Allen said. "That was early this morning though, so he might be somewhere else by now…"

"Knowing Yuu he would still be out there," Rabi chuckled. "Well, would you lovely ladies…and Allen, mind if I left you for a few minutes?"

"Not at all!" Linali said with a smile.

Miranda just blushed and nodded.

Rabi walked down the hall way to the training grounds. Kanda should be pretty far back if he was still there. He didn't like anyone else around him when he was training. When Rabi first came here he thought this was because he was worried about hitting someone with his sword, but he found out very shortly that was not the case at all.

"Ah! That's right! Yuu had his birthday just a week ago, so he's nineteen now!" Rabi said to himself. "…only one more year, Yuu-chan, and you'll prove them all wrong. 'he won't live to see twenty.' my ass!" He slipped on something on the floor, and fell on his back.

"damnit!" he yelled. He rubbed his back as he got up. "What kinda idiot leaves water on a stone floor?" he hadn't been getting much sleep on his mission, (well, more missions) which made him more irritable than normal. He looked down to see just how much water was on the floor then he froze. It wasn't water at all, but blood. A small puddle of blood lay splattered on the floor.



"…w-what on earth?" Rabi whispered, then looked around the hall. There was a smeared handprint on the wall a few paces up, then after that another on the other wall. Rabi heard someone coughing then. "W-Whos there?!" he asked, a little scared. Was someone attacked and if so by who? No one answered his call.

Rabi started running down the hall towards the coughing sound, though it had stopped now. A huge puddle of blood was splattered right before the hall turned a corner. Rabi felt sick. If someone was bleeding this badly they must be half dead by now. "Whos there?!" Rabi called again. Again, no answer. Rabi turned the corner and froze once more.

Kanda was leaning his back agents a wall, slumped over, clutching his stomach and panting. Blood was running down his arm and dripping onto the floor. He coughed into his hand again and a new wave of blood was sent cascading down his arm. He spluttered and chocked for a moment, then went back to gasping for air.

"Yuu!!" Rabi ran to his side, dropping to his knees and lifted his head with his hands. "what's wrong?! Who hurt you?!"

Kanda brought his eyes up to Rabi slowly. His vision was hazy and everything seemed to not stay in its place all the time. He was still for a moment then turned his lips upward in a sort of smile. A few drops of blood fell from his lips in the possess.

"Yuu, what's wrong?!" Rabi asked again, his voice shaking with fear.

"Dying." Kanda said simply. He chocked again, but managed not to puke blood onto the floor this time. "…they said all my wounds would come back when the flower died…but I didn't know they meant on the inside." He gasped.

"What...no, you're not gonna die!" Rabi yelled, shaking him a little as he did so. "We're gonna get you to the doctors and they can fix you like they always do! And everything will be ok, and you'll live, and you'll stop bleeding and hurting and…And" Rabi started to cry, short sobs escaping his throat.

Kanda chuckled; his voice was getting quieter… "…hey…do me a favor?" he asked between gasps.

Rabi looked up at him, his face streaked with tears. "Anything you want…"

"First, stop crying." Kanda put unbloodied hand on Rabi's head. "and….you remember how I wanted to die?" he could barely breath now.

Rabi nodded shakily.

"Good, then I don't have to say something so stupid again." Kanda clutched at his stomach again in pain. He coughed up more blood.



Rabi got up and shaky legs and got behind Kanda, wrapped his arms around his shoulders and started to pet the back of his head. His other hand went over the top of his heart. It was beating very slowly… he was almost not breathing too. He was getting paler by the minute. "…it must be horrible to bleed to death…I'm so sorry."

Kanda managed a chuckle. "…a lot worse than I thought…" he mumbled and leaned his head back agents Rabis chest. For a moment he stayed like that, then his eyes widened, he jerked up out of Rabi's hold and let out a scream. A hand show up to clutch at his heart.

"Yuu, what's wrong!?" Rabi practically screamed back.

Kanda spluttered, coughed, chocked and spat more blood onto the floor. "Got stabbed in the chest. It reopened…"

Rabi's eyes winded, he pulled down the hem of Kandas shirt to where his hand had been.

Kanda gasped for air frantically, he didn't know what was causing it but he couldn't seem to fill his lounges at all…probably blood pressing agents them. "…no, inside." He barely managed to talk.

Rabi froze. If something hurt enough to make Kanda scream like that…he couldn't even imagine how much it must hurt. He pulled Kanda back to him, very gently, keeping a hand over his heart.

"…you want me to go with you?" Rabi asked very quietly.

"Hell no… you gotta live past twenty for me." Kanda turned his head a little so Rabi could see his face and gave him a weak smile. His skin was white, even his lips lost all color. His eyes were hazy and unfocused. Kanda laid his head back agents Rabi; it was too dizzying to keep his head up anymore.

Kanda started to become heavier in Rabis arms, his heart beat was dying away. Rabi opened his mouth, he was going to tell Kanda to hold on, but then he asked himself why? It would be cruel to keep Kanda here in this much pain…

Kanda stopped breathing, he gave up. His lounges couldn't push through all the blood in his chest. This was a lot worse then he thought it would be, it was like drowning in his own body…

Rabi started trembling, he felt like crying, but wouldn't let himself. Kandas heart gave one final, pathetic beat under Rabi's palm then stopped.
