Keikosan-
I ran through the woods, faster and faster, not being able to get Miki and Reita out of my head. I feared for her safety but tried to convince myself that she would be okay. I ran and ran until I made it to the old cemetery. The sky was dark and sinister with a hint of red. I looked around at the tombstones, for some strange reason, the seemed more eerie, like they were all towering over me. I spotted the balcony that faced the ocean, the same balcony that Ruki I had fallen asleep on many times.
I looked, seeing a dark, shadowy figure leaning over the edge, looking down and crying. I watched him for a few minutes, moving closer and balling my fists. I got into a fighting stance and growled softly, him not even moving. He spoke through his teeth in a soft, bitter voice. "Do it. I am not afraid."
I raised my hands, some of the water from the ocean moving gently. He still didn't move. I threw my hands down, yelling at him, sick of everything that he had done to me, to my friends. "STAND UP AND FIGHT, YOU MOTHER FUCKER!"
He stood and turned around swiftly, gripping my shirt and pulling me close. I looked up as him, gripping his hands and trying to rip away.
I realized who it was; Uruha tightened his grip on me, pulling me closer. I was close to his face, looking into his eyes as my heart sped up.
He spoke in a low, gentle voice, looking into my eyes and tilting his head gently. His eyes were fiery and his fangs were protruding. "What more have I to live for? I have lost my most beautiful slaves and now I have lost my home… My child will be raised to hate me and my brother's hate me. Why don't you just kill me now?"
I listened to him, watching tears pool in his eyes. My eyes widened gently as he set me down, turning away, looking out at the water.
"My life is over... I have nothing..." He stood on the bench and stepped onto the balcony. Just as soon as he had stepped up, he began falling forward. I gasped and darted towards him, gripping his hand as he fell. I leaned against the balcony, sobbing softly as I held his hand, looking down at him. I threw my other hand down, using both hands to hold his. He looked up at me, his face gentle and pain filled. He spoke loudly, but meaningfully, as tears fell down his cheeks. "Please! There is nothing in this world for me! I will be okay!" he gripped my hand once more, reassuring me that it was alright. "It's okay! Just please forgive me!"
"I do forgive you!" I bit back my tears and let his hand go, his fingers slipping out of mine as he fell to the jagged shore below.
I stood up and screamed, raising my hands, "NO!" I raised my arms high above my head, moving them to the side as the water rose higher and higher. I lowered myself to my knees, lowering my hands as the water flooded the balcony. I looked up, seeing Uruha's body, wet and limp.
I stood and ran to him, kneeling next to him moving his hair away from his face, lifting him up. I leaned him against me, swirling some water around my hand and placing it over his heart. I pressed my hand hard against his chest and felt his breathing, getting slower and slower. The water sank into his skin, him gasping gently and shaking. I held him close, hoping the water would do its job.
A few moments later, he opened his eyes gently, looking around and seeing me. "Kei... Keikochan...?"
I looked at him and held his cheek. "Uruhasan... are you alright?"
He nodded gently, looking back at me. I saw something in his eyes. Something new. There was... light in his eyes. There was kindness and purity. I knew the water had worked on his heart and healed the evil that was inside. Tears filled my eyes as I hugged him tight. "Tell me how you feel…"
Uruha coughed softly. "I feel... better... reborn." he stood up and looked out over the ocean, standing tall with confidence and strength. He turned to me and offered his hand. "Let's go. I have lives to save."
I was hesitant at first, but took his hand, standing up. He pulled me into a tight hug, wrapping his arms around my back and breathing in shakily. "Thank you."
I hugged him back and knew he really had changed. I took his hand and ran back through the woods with him, desperate to find Miki.
I ran and ran, pulling Ruha with me. I made it to the clearing where we had met the beautiful Angel of Death. I looked around, looking for anyone, anything. I saw Miki and Reita in the corner, running to them. "Miki! Mikichan!" I gripped her hand and pulled her to sit up. She didn't move. She body was limp. I soon saw that Reita was on top of her, blood covering both of them. I gasped in horror and fell to the ground. I covered my mouth and hugged my stomach, sobbing. I felt two strong arms wrap around me, holding me close as I sobbed.
Uruha spoke gently, looking at Miki and Reita. "I can help them..."
I looked up at him, tears streaming down my cheeks. "What...?"
Uruha stood up and reached into his back pocket, pulling out a chain with a vile on it. He looked down at me and gave a small smile. "They will be okay..."
