"... Are you actually willing to go through with a heart transplant?"

Without hesitation, Ryuunosuke's mind pushed forward yes, but a question was stopping him. Is he really going to give his life to her?

Yes.

Definitely.

Even if it might not cure Rita, it was worth a shot. He wanted her to live. He wants her to be able to experience the rest of her life. And he would give his life for that wish.

"Yes, Doctor. I'd be happy to."

Dr. Koniki's jaw dropped. He could see the determination in Ryuunosuke's eyes. This was incredible, he has never seen a boy like this before.

"The first thing w-we'd have to do is a blood test.. to see if you have the rare blood type that Miss Ainsworth possesses. "

Ryuunosuke nodded calmly.

In a matter of time, he was sitting in a hospital chair patiently waiting for the doctor to return. His mind resorted back to reality and everything started to hit him. If this test is successful, he is going to give up his life. But for some reason, it didn't bother him at all. He didn't feel any sort of hesitiation, not one second thought. It was strange, any normal person would have to sit down and think about this. Ryuunosuke knew his determination was special.

"Mr. Akasaka... your test is positive. You and Miss Ainsworth miraculously have the same blood type. "

Ryuunosuke smiled, "That means we can go through with the operation, right?"

"Y-Yes... if you're certain about it.."

"I'm certain."

"Well Mr. Akasaka.. shall I inform Miss Ainsworth?"

He let the doctors words swim through his mind. That's the one thing he didn't think about. How she would feel about this. He already knew she isn't going to like it. But Ryuunosuke knew it was the right thing to do.

She looked into the empty room surrounding her. She felt empty inside, the feeling of death was controlling her body. She knew she was going to die soon. And Ryuunosuke won't even talk to her. What was she supposed to do? Just die this unhappy? All she wants to do is see him.. That is her only wish. She can't just leave him. He'll suffer, and Rita doesn't want that. Her thoughts were thrown off by the door creaking. She saw the familiar white coat of the doctor flash by, and the feeling of despair already hit her. Her whole life was surrounded by doctors and hospitals, and now, anything related to health made her automatically upset.

"Hello, Miss Ainsworth. How are you feeling today?"

Rita hesitated, she was in no mood for small talk.

"Same as yesterday, I guess."

Rita intensely stared at him as he pulled up a chair and sat next to the hospital bed. From the look on her doctor's face, this couldn't be good news. Sighing, she closed her eyes and prepared herself for the worse.

"So... there's a person that wants to be a donor.."

Rita opened her gleaming blue eyes quickly.

"A donor?"

"Yes.. they want to donate their heart.. so you can go through with a heart transplant."

"But my blood type..."

She blinked a few times then an awful predication popped in her mind.

"No..No...It couldn't be.."

She hung her head low and her eyes widened.

"No..."

"Excuse me Miss... The young man who is willing to do this is Mr. Aka-"

"No!"

The doctor noticed her hands shaking and the streams of tears leaving her eyes.

"He... he can't..", she stuttered with her words.

In the corner of her watery eyes, she saw a familiar silhouette appear from around the door.

Black hair, dark clothes, and raven eyes. The name screamed in her mind.

The teenage boy nodded at the doctor, signaling for R. Koniki to leave. Then, after over a week, Rita and Ryuunosuke were face to face once again.

"Hello Rita."

His voice, the one she has missed for so long, echoed through her ears, causing the tears to become more heavy. His voice was at a grimacing pitch.

"R-Ryuunosuke... W-What do you think you're doing,, You c-can't..."

"I am. "

"No!"

She screamed loudly, startling Ryuunosuke.

"You can't give up your life for me! You deserve to live much more than I do! You mean everything to me, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I was the reason you were to die! You c-can't... I-I won't let you.."

Her head fell into the palms of her hands, covering her tear-stained face.

"Rita, I must do this. I can't lose you. I can't just sit here and watch you suffer. I'm willing to do anything, even if it'll cost me my life."

He took a few steps closer to her.

"God dammit Ryuunosuke! My life will still be terrible if you went through with this. Nothing will be better! Everything will be worse! Y-You're the only reason I want to live... Don't take that away from me!"

Her voice shook with every word she spoke.

"Rita... you're going to live..."

Ryuunosuke hesitated before stepping any closer. She cried loudly and desperately, but it didn't make him second guess his choice. He approached her bed, and put his hand on hers.

"Rita.. I'm giving my life to you. I want you to live. I'll die happy."

She didn't respond. He removed his hand slowly and began to walk away. Her voice made him stop.

"I-Is this goodbye?"

"Y-Yeah."

She tried to swallow the tears, but there was no hope.

"I'll kill myself."

He approached her side again, and spoke in a low, hushed voiced.

"Don't. Rita, you are going to live for me. You will live the life you deserve."

Her hand reached out to grab him, but he left to quick.

"I love you, Rita."

He walked out the door. He was gone.

Me: Well that's it.

Everyone: Huh? What? Nuu.

Misaki: Y u do dis to me Erica-chan.

Ryuunosuke: Erica you said it would have a happy ending!

Me: Haha I lied.

Rita: UM PLEASE DON'T LIE. LYING IS BAD. LYING IS NO GOOD. BRING RYUU BACK.

Ryuunosuke: F-Freeloader? I-I'm right here. It was just a stupid story that Erica-chan made up.

Me: You calling it stupid bro? Bro I can kill you twice.

Everyone: NUUUUU

Misaki: Why dah endin soi sad doe. Why doe. Why.

Me: Well I was thinking about doing an epilogue or maybe an alternative ending...

Rita: A-Alternative ending?

Ryuuosuke: An ending where I don't die?

Me: Yeah maybe I can kill Rita instead. :)

Everyone: NO

Me: Well how about a vote. Do you guys want an Epilogue where it shows Rita in a few years or an Alternatie Ending where Rita dies instead of Dragon. Or maybe an Alternative Ending where no one dies and they just live happily ever after?

Rita: I like the last one..

Ryuunosuke: Happiness would be pretty good for once, ERICA.

Me: Nahh I think Dragon over here just wants to make little Dragon babies with Ritaaa

Ryuunosuke: EHHH? I didn't say that BAKA.

Jin: We all know what you're thinking Akasaka... (shoves him into Rita)

Rita: (giggles)

Misaki: One last Ryuuri power?

Me: (nods)

Everyone: (pumps fist in air) RYUURI POWER!

Me: Remember to vote in the comments! Sayonara!
