Enjoy ^.^
Kai reached the family tomb in record time. He walked up the stairs in a matter of minutes and he stood in front of it still hoping that Saya had just come here to visit their Dad and Riku. But he knew after standing there for a few moments that Saya had come here to sleep and nothing else… He really wished that he had time to properly say goodbye to his sister- no to say until next time. Mao was right it sounded so much better then goodbye. With saying until next time your telling that person that you will see them again and with goodbye it means that you'll never see them again. He perked himself up and walked forward, opening the door to the tomb and felt his heart drop a little at the sight of the cocoon.
"So…its true. You did come here to sleep. Huh, Saya?" He said in a soft voice, walking forward a little then stopped. It was the first time to ever see her in the cocoon. It was a little strange, but he knew that it wouldn't hurt him if he got closer. So he walked a little closer and touch a gentle hand to the strangely sticky exterior and smiled.
"Hey…" He said softly, tears now in his eyes, and petted the cocoon. He wiped his eyes with his other hand and laughed a little.
"I probably look like a mess, but you can't hold it against me, Saya. I thought we had more time before you had to sleep. So did everyone else. Haji's a wreck." He said then flinched.
"I didn't tell you that to make you feel bad, guilty even. Man, you didn't see his eyes…he looked so, whats the right word for it…sad. I guess thats the right word. He looked sad and really lonely." He said and he knew right then that he couldn't really describe how much Haji missed Saya. It had only been a hour at most and Haji already missed her… Kai did to, but he would never miss her like Haji would and did for that matter. He sighed and pulled his hand away.
"Well...until next time." He said and turned and said a quick hello to his father and baby brother. He told them a little about what was going on and how Mao was doing. He was there maybe an hour and he decided it was time to head home. He walked back over to Saya's cocoon and touched it gently.
"Be seeing you." He said softly, then left. As he walked out his heart gave a pull here and there and he felt his eyes start to tear up. He tried to prepare himself when the time came for Saya to go back to sleep, but...you can never really prepare yourself for that, not ever...
Mao sat at the bar, bouncing her knee on the foot bar under the bar at the very bottom. "What is taking Kai so long to get back. He said he would only be gone a little while." She mumbled under her breath.
"He went to go and see Saya and the others..." Haji said from the bay window at the front of the restaurant. Mao's head snapped up and she looked over at him.
"How do you know that?" She asked. Haji gestured out the window.
"Because he's walking back from that way..." He said. Mao stood up and walked over to the window and looked outside and sure enough Kai was walking back from the direction of his families tomb. Mao let out a sigh and walked over to the door and opened it.
"Kai you should have let me come with you. I wanted to see Saya to!" She said. Kai looked up and laughed and scratched the back of his head.
"I didn't plan to walk there, but I...just did." He said. Mao sighed and knew she couldn't be mad at him. She nodded in understanding.
"I understand, but still..." She said and looked down at the ground with sad eyes. If only she had said something...maybe all this could have been avoided. Kai walked up to her and hooked her chin with his finger and gently lifted her head.
"Mao its not your fault. Its none of our faults... It was simply time for Saya to rest. She has been through so much and has had so much happen to her I think she deserves a long rest. Don't you?" He asked. Mao smiled sadly and nodded.
"Yes, very much so." She said and wrapped her arms around him and hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder. Kai wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back, resting his chin on the top of her head. Haji watched their exchange of comfort for one another and he felt his heart give a painful pang. How much he wished that Saya was here for him to hold. It felt like it had been such a short time since he had gotten Saya back and it was all over in a blink of a eye... He sighed inward and stood up and walked back upstairs to his little attic room and pulled his cello out and started to play for his Queen as she slept...
{Ten Years Later}
Kai sighed as he sat up in bed and looked over to see a very pregnant Mao sleeping next to him. He couldn't help but smile and he leaned over kissing the side of her temple softly. He pulled away and pulled his knees up and rested his arm across both knees and rested his forehead against his arm. He couldn't believe it had already been ten years since Saya had gone to sleep. There was no sign that she was going to wake up anytime soon, but he would never stop hoping that she would some day... There was a knocked from downstairs and he pulled his head up and listened, thinking that he had imagined it. There was another knock and Kai was out of bed and down the stairs in seconds because whenever someone came to visit in the middle of the night it was never a good thing.
"All right, all right I'm coming." He called as he walked into the restaurant and could see Lulu standing outside the front door drenched from head to toe. Kai walked over to the door and flipped the lock and opened the door.
"Lulu what are you doing here?" He asked. Kai couldn't remember the last time he had seen Lulu. It had been a good twelve years ago since he'd last seen her. Lulu nodded shyly, but then looked up at him with her wide scared eyes.
"You've got to help me! It's Haji. He's been hurt real bad!" She said and grabbed his hand and started to pull him outside in the rain. Kai pulled back.
"Wow wait a minute. Take a deep breath and tell me what happen?" He asked. Lulu did as he said but didn't let go of his hand.
"A few weeks ago I ran into Haji. We started talking and three days ago we discovered strange deaths in the area. Me and Haji have been researching and trying to figure out what the deaths means." She said. Kai thought for a moment, then nodded.
"I've heard about those deaths. Last week David called me and told me. He wanted to let us know to be careful. Its been happening it night, yes?" He asked. Lulu nodded, but stopped then shook her head.
"Yes and no. Five days ago a death happened in mid-day. Haji and I set out to find the killer, but something went wrong..." She said. Kai notched his brow.
"How so?" He asked. Lulu swallowed staring up at him still.
"I was to search at night and Haji was suppose to search during the day." Kai nodded.
"I'm with you so far..." He said.
"Last night I found Haji. He'd been badly wounded and had lost a lot of blood. I didn't know what to do so I thought I should come and get you." She said. Kai looked down at her with a look of shock on his face.
"Okay... Why would you come and get me? I haven't seen Haji for more then nine years." He said. Lulu nodded and then looked down.
"I know... Its where I found him is the reason I came to get you." She said. Kai was silent, trying to figure it out, but couldn't.
"Okay... Where did you find him?" He said. Lulu took in a deep breath, then looked up at him directly in the eyes.
"In your families tomb." She said and Kai mouth dropped open, then he pulled his hand free and rushed upstairs and pulled off his pajamas and then pulled on some jeans and a plain white t-shirt. There was a yawn as Kai grabbed for his father's gun and he checked to see that the gun was loaded. He looked over his shoulder to see that Mao was awake and rubbing at her eyes.
"Kai whats going on...? What time is it?" She asked. Kai thumbed the safety on and put it in his waistband of his jeans. Kai looked over at the clock on the nightstand.
"A little after two." He said. Mao looked over at the clock and her eyes grew big.
"Its two in the morning! Why are you up- why am I up?" She asked. Kai chuckled and grabbed his jacket and pulled it on and zipped it up.
"Lulu is downstairs. She just told me that Haji is hurt bad and inside my families tomb." He said. Mao gasped and started to push herself up off the bed.
"I'm coming to!" She said, but was failing to get up. Kai shook his head and walked over to the door and grabbed the knob and looked back in at her.
"No your not. Besides your seven months pregnant and won't be able to walk up the stairs leading up to the tomb." He said. Mao fell back onto the bed gasping softly for breath.
"F-Fine, but you won't be hearing the last from me..." She said. Kai chuckled.
"Wouldn't dream of it." He said as he closed the door and couldn't help, but smile as he did. He made his way downstairs and outside into the dark stormy night.
