Chapter 25: The Lies of a Dying Jay

"What the—you want me to take over Sato, the lazy as hell intern at the police station's shift?! But today is my day off!" said a dark haired teen into his phone. He had an irritated look on his face and it made Asada keep quiet.

"Okay, okay, fine. I'll come later though. I have to make a trip to somewhere with my sister. " he said, his voice peaking frustration. He quickly hung up by flipping his phone closed with a loud snap!

"Damn idiots." he muttering under his breath.

"Uhm...Onii-chan..." Asada began as she watched her brother shove his phone into his pocket. "Are you sure you can come with me today? I mean, I know you're—"

"Don't even start, Shi-chan. I promised that I will come today. Besides, I'm not only your brother; I'm Suzu's, too." her brother said, quickly cutting her off. A small ghost of a smile appeared on his face as he placed a hand on her shoulder. Gently, he began to lead her toward the doors of the hospital. Asada didn't flinch at the touch of her brother, instead feeling absolutely at ease. Once she entered the hospital, she suddenly perked up.

"Nee, Onii-chan…do you know someone named Kirigaya?" she asked.

"Kirigaya...?" Asada's brother asked under his breath as he placed a hand on his chin. Asada walked slowly by his side down the white hall. A few seconds later, he looked up with his dark eyes. "I think I heard of that name somewhere... but I could be wrong. Is that person a patient here?"

Asada frowned as they stopped in front of Suzuku's room. "...yeah. I don't like him."

Her brother's hand paused over the handle of the door. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Wow. A guy you mention once and you already hate him." He didn't give her a chance to answer as he threw open the door without a care. "Oi~! Suzuku, I came to visit this time-Ara, we're screwed. Where'd he go?"

"E-eh?!"

._._._._._.

Her steps echoed off the walls as Suguha made her way to her brother's room. She just finished school and her practice was canceled. She could've gone home to do her homework, but she didn't want to go home yet. It didn't take her long to find Kazuto's room.

She reached to open the door, but then her hand paused. The door was already partially open. Curiosity made Suguha peek her head in first, wondering if Rinko was already there, or if someone just forgot to close the door on their way out. To her surprise, it was none of the above.

An unfamiliar brown haired teen sat on a chair next to Kazuto. He was leaning over, poking at the lion stuffed animal with a dry-erase marker in boredom. Suguha couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed at him for treating the lion carelessly. Deciding to be polite, she fully opened the door and entered the room.

"Um...who are you?" Suguha asked as she stared right into the teen's dark grey eyes. He smiled and lifted up a white board with his name already written on it. Sugu gave him an odd look before fully entering the room and closing the door behind her. "Tonomi...Suzuku?"

Suzuku gave her a small wave of acknowledgement. He stood up and gave a short bow of respect.

"What are you doing here?" Suguha asked. Without really thinking, Suzuku's hands automatically moved to answer. Immediately, Suguha recognized the signs he made.

"Nothing. I needed to walk around a bit, so I just came here." he signed. "How are you—"

He suddenly froze as if he realized something. Suguha couldn't help but watch him as he picked up his white board and uncapped the marker, writing his answer. As he wrote, Suguha cleared her throat and used her free hand to answer him.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking." she signed effortlessly. Suzuku seemed to have noticed since his hand stopped writing. His dark grey eyes were wide with surprise. He practically tossed the board and marker back on the chair.

"You understand sign language?!" he asked her, his hands moving a bit frantically. Suguha nodded as she placed her bag on another chair nearby.

"Of course, I do. I had to if I wanted to understand my brother." she signed. Suzuku's face lit up happily.

"You're Kirigaya's sister?" he asked. Suguha nodded.

"Well…yes, I am. I'm Kirigaya Suguha." she said out loud. She didn't miss Suzuku's look of confusion as she continued. "Seriously, what are you doing here? I don't even know you and I know for a fact that Onii-chan doesn't know someone like you."

Suzuku blinked for a moment before turning his gaze toward Kazuto. Suguha didn't resist the urge to follow his gaze. It still pained her to see her brother like that, but it brought her a bit of comfort that he was still breathing. Suzuku lifted his hands once again and keep his eyes away from Suguha.

"I heard that there was someone in this hospital that needed a heart. It made me kinda curious, and that's what lead me here." he signed, completely aware of Suguha watching him. "I found his name kinda interesting, and…" his hands paused for a moment. "I really wanted to meet him. So, here I am."

"You're here because you heard about Onii-chan?" Suguha asked. He nodded and placed a hand over his heart and gesturing to Kazuto.

"Now, I made up my mind. I'm going to give him one." he signed. Suguha stared at him with wide eyes.

"What?" she breathed out in surprise. She gently grabbed his arm and pulled him a bit closer. "You don't even know him!"

Suzuku just smiled at her as she shook her head vehemently.

"You shouldn't do that! You're giving your life away. You're the same age as me aren't you? Besides, Onii-chan doesn't want that! He doesn't want to take someone else's life so he could live his!" Suguha said with a panicked voice. Suzuku blinked at her in slight surprise before his face softened. He gently place a hand on her arm and pulled her away from his arm. As he signed, his mouth moved with his hands.

"I don't have much time. One day, I might not wake up. My heart is completely healthy and I would feel better if Kirigaya-san has it." he signed with a smile on his face. "Besides, there isn't anyone waiting for me outside this place."

Suguha couldn't believe him. That had to be a lie. There probably was someone waiting for him! Maybe he just never realized it yet.

"But—!" Suguha couldn't finish as he cut her off with a stern look. Realization kind of…dawned on her. "…You were waiting for me. You were waiting for someone related to Onii-chan, weren't you?"

He gave her a simple nod.

"…You wanted to tell us yourself." Suguha confirmed. Suzuku simply shrugged, as if to say, "If that's what you think."

Suguha stared at him in disbelief. "You don't even know us and yet you're willing to throw away your life to save Onii-chan?"

"It's what I want." Suzuku signed with a smile. Suguha didn't say anything as he picked up the white board and the marker and held it close to his chest. He silently bowed his head, excusing himself. He raised his free hand one last time. "I will see you around, Kirigaya-san."

As Suguha watched him walk toward the door, she felt that she couldn't let him go like that. That teen was going to die for her brother willingly! She much as she wanted someone to save her brother, she didn't want him too. Right before he could walk out the now open door, Suguha called out to him.

"Wait, Suzuku-san!"

Suzuku stopped right outside the door, but he didn't turn around. Suguha paused for a moment in surprise. She wasn't really expecting him to stop. Shaking her head, she held a fist at her chest and took a step forward.

"This may sound desperate, but I'm sure, there is someone still out there waiting for you to get out of here. Please, you shouldn't leave them behind." she said. Suguha looked up to see Suzuku giving her a look. She gasped slightly when she caught the pain behind his eyes. Slowly, Suzuku's lips moved. Immediately, Suguha easily read them, since she had gotten used to it with Kazuto.

"There is no one."

Suguha was stunned to silence. How could that be possible? There should be at least one person in his life that would miss him.

He turned away, closing the door behind him. After a few seconds, Suguha sighed and plopped herself in the closest chair, burying her face in her hands. She wasn't saying all of that because she didn't want he brother to be saved (Trust her, she wanted her brother to live), but rather, in fear of Suzuku making the wrong decision. After all, to her, she would rather find a way to save her brother without taking another's live.

"You're wrong, Suzuku." Suguha muttered. Droplets of water started to slip past her fingers. "There will always be someone waiting for you."

._._._._._.

Suzuku felt a bit bad. He didn't expect Suguha to try and convince him not to. He could kind of understand. After all, why give away something vital to living? In all honesty, Suzuku didn't want to die, but there wasn't much he could do about it. He didn't have enough money to get everything he needed. Of course, he wasn't going to make the government pay for him.

He stopped in front of his door to his own room and stared at it. He blinked as he heard faint voices on the other side. Curious, he placed on ear on the door and listened.

"AHH! Scary-nii-chan! Give it back!"

"I'm not Scary, damnit!"

"Yes, you are! Just stop it!"

There was a jingle of keys.

"Eh? Isn't that anime character Kaito or something like that?"

"D-don't look at it! Give it back!"

"Ah~! I even found the teal-haired chick!"

"Scary-nii!"

Suzuku pulled his ear away from the door and shook his head. He didn't even bother to knock as he opened the door. He froze at the sight before him with his jaw dropping. A flustered Asada faltered at the sight of him. She was standing on a chair and had a hand reaching for the keychain in her brother's hand. Her black haired brother blinked several times as he looked over his shoulder with his hand still clutching a set of keys high in the air. Immediately, Suzuku's eyes went straight to the key chain.

True to Asada's brother's word, he spotted a chibi version of a blue haired anime boy holding ice cream and a teal haired girl holding a pair of leeks.

There was a long silence as they all started at each other in shock. Suzuku was the first to snap out of it as he slid the door closed. He blinked and turned on his heel to head away from his room, mouthing to himself, "They aren't anime characters…".

He barely took two steps as the door suddenly opened again. Asada's brother stopped him with a light pat on the head. "Sorry, sorry! That was dumb."

Suzuku turned around to give him the "ya think?!" look. The older teen just shrugged his shoulders carelessly and ushered him back into the room. "Saa, saa! Back inside you go. Where did you disappear to anyway?"

Once they entered the room, Shino was already stuffing her keys in her bag in embarrassment muttering under her breath, "They're not anime characters they're Vocaloids! There's a difference..."

She looked up and brightened a bit. "Ah! Suzu, we got a bit worried when you weren't in your room earlier."

Suzuku shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

"Nothing. I just took a walk." he signed. He didn't miss the look of doubt on Shino's face, be he ignored it. Her brother (or better known as "Scary-nii" by Shino) didn't seem to notice as the older teen dragged him to bed with normal scowl he had on his face. If someone were to ask Suzuku, he'd say that the older teen was born with that face. He wasn't scary, he was just…well…mature…?

Asada came to help her brother with settling Suzuku back into the bed. It didn't take them long. It was only about a minute or two later when Asada's brother pulled up a chair on one side of the bed. The older teen sat down while Shino sat on the other side.

They always did this. Whenever Shino's brother came to visit, they would gather close and begin to just randomly talk about things; may it be serious or utterly stupid. Suzuku lifted his hands and started up their normal routine.

"Onii-san, you should be a singer." he signed. Scary suddenly spluttered while Shino coughed into her hand, trying hard to hide a laugh.

"What the—?! I will not! I'm not about to embarrass myself with singing romance crap and things! Ugh, why did we even start with this topic?!" he half-cried, remembering to keep his voice down. They were, after all, in a hospital.

"Well, you can't deny that you can sing." Suzuku teased. Scary bit his lip and turned his head away.

"There is no way in hell am I singing for a career." he muttered. Shino laughed and shook her head.

"Well, it can't hurt to try it. I mean, it is a safer job than being a police man." she said, shrugging her shoulders a bit.

"I want to hear you sing."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

Suzuku and Shino shared a look before nodding. They both turned to look at the older teen and did their famous look. Suzuku clapped his hands together and tilted his head a bit while Shino clapped her hands and tilted her head.

"Scary-nii-chan, please? Just one song."

Shino's brother tried not to look at them by turning his head away and crossing his arms. "Absolutely not!"

Suzuku clapped his hands once more, knowing that the other teen had a bad habit. Before he even realized it, Scary turned his head and froze.

"Aaah! Damn it all! Fine." he said, giving in to the two. Suzuku grinned triumphantly as Shino cheered.

"Yes!"

"But I get to choose!"

"Eh? But, Scary-nii, I want to pick it. You might end up singing an unpleasant song."

"I-I don't sing crap like that!"

Suzuku smiled as he watched the two siblings bicker back and forth. As dumb as it seemed, it was normal for the two. Ever since they were small, they still argued pointlessly, despite the fear that Shino developed when she was younger. Both boys knew she was afraid of men and boys alike, but she was completely fine with them. Suzuku knew that she was here to give him a bit of company, even though it was kind of out of her way. In a way, he figured she was trying to find a way to get rid of her fear.

But then again, Suzuku stopped to ask himself. Did they really just come here for themselves? Or did they come for a completely different reason? He took a look at Scary's face flushed in embarrassment and annoyance and Shino's teasing smile. He couldn't help but smirk a little at Scary. For a short moment, he turned away from them and closed his eyes for a moment.

"You're right, Kirigaya-san. I do have people waiting for me, and I'm not about to deny that...Sorry."

Ahahaha...Sorry, it's short but tell me what you guys thought! I had a bit of fun writing this because of Scary's personality. I mean, I love it! He's such a jerk but at the same time he gets flustered so easily! Haaah~ I love him too much.

Oh yeah! Did you notice the two keychains I mentioned? Actually, I should be asking, did anyone recognize them?! Just letting you know right now, The blue haired Vocaloid (The one that came with Meiko and looks a teenager but he's actually a MID-AGED man) looks like an innocent version of Scary. It's kinda... "scary" how similar they are. No Pun Intended. O_O

Preview!

"Who are you? Is there anyone watching you two?" Kirito asked as he placed a hand at his hip. Shiku mewed softly as he trotted up to the two children before him. The black haired girl swatted down to pet the cat-lion with a look of awe while the white-haired boy tilted his head slightly.

"Uhm...I'm... I'm Morgan." the boy said with a hand at his chest. He then gestured to the girl, "And she's Yui...You're not one of those people that take care of kids on the Town of Beginnings...are you?"

Ahahaha, yes...your eyes do not deceive you! It really is that sweet child many of you know and love from Prince of Aincrad! XD

Later!
