KAITO POV

My jaw dropped as I felt my heart stop, causing me to hyperventilate. I couldn't move and extreme angst ran through my body, draining all the remaining warmth that was inside me. I was like paralyzed, to the point that I could barely find myself breathing. A sudden harsh gasp escaped my mouth as my eyes darted down to the small bottle that was in front of me. I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't make any sound. I suddenly felt something liquid running down my chin and in my surprise, my face was already soaked in tears.

"W...what?" I breathed out in a fading raspy manner.

The room had this asphyxiating atmosphere, making both of me and Dr. Kasane silent. Somebody, please slap me. Please slap me and tell me that it isn't true. Tell me that Luka doesn't have cancer and really is pregnant instead.

Still having the serious troubled look on her face, she placed a hand on my shoulder and stood up. "I'm sorry, Kaito." she mumbled as she walked closer to her file cabinet. She started to look for something there and without a moment lost, she pulled out a small folder and placed it on her desk. "Here are some basic information about the drug. If you still have some questions about it, those papers might help."

I rubbed my face roughly and gripped the folder and the bottle, cursing myself for letting Luka run away. "Thank you very much, Dr. Kasane." I told her before standing up and headed to the door.

None of the affliction left my heart when I left the clinic to tell everybody about it.

LEN POV

My eyes were tightly shut as I rubbed my hands together while praying for Luka. Cold sweat kept dripping from my face while I struggled to catch my breath. The anxiety inside me was like electricity that shot uncontrollably without an ending destination. It pulsated and constantly searched for an outlet, never breaking nor cracking. It kept nagging and hounding, sending lassitude to my heart. The twinged look on her face that I saw earlier was such a pain in the chest.

The door suddenly swung opened then Dr. Yowane, along with her nurses exited the room so I quickly stood up and turned to them. I gulped, preparing for what I might hear then I was somewhat relieved when Dr. Yowane gave me a slight smile.

"There is...a good news and there is a bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?" she voiced out, looking directly into my eyes.

I took a deep breath. "The good news please." I replied, my hands forming into fists.

"Well," she began glancing at Luka through the huge glass. "She's lucky because she's still making normal amounts of blood cells. The bad news is the way her bone marrow is making it is becoming abnormal. Sir, we are doing our bests but in her condition, I think you should take her to Tokyo where they have more advanced equipments for these types of diseases."

Sighing, I nodded and shook Dr. Yowane's hand. "Thank you." I breathed out, leaving her behind and entering Luka's room.

I sat beside her unconscious form and caressed her face as I scanned every detail of her. It hurt me how much she changed physically, how she looked so frail and how her skin became somewhat translucent. The amazing woman that I used to know was robust and vibrantly healthy, possessing a spirit that could make you smile in a single look but I couldn't see her anymore. The woman that's now lying before me looks so tired. It wasn't the first time that I watched her sleep but this time, she looked as if she was done.

I suddenly saw her, blinking a few times then I leaned over her, forcing myself into her field of vision. Her eyes fluttered open then I saw transparent orbs forming in the corner of her eyes. I could see her lips turning down a bit then I reached out for her soft hands and squeezed them. I smiled weakly then a tear fell from my eye and struck her chin.

"L..Len..." she muttered with her exhausted voice. "I...can't...take it...anymore...I'm...so tired..." she breathed heavily with every word that she said.

I shook my head violently and kissed the ring that was inserted to her finger. I didn't really know how to respond. What should I tell her? "Hold on," I mouthed, afraid that I'd bawl in tears if I said it out loud. Was the test really that painful? I couldn't take it. I should take her home to Tokyo right away.

As soon as she saw me kissing the ring, she let the silver mists that were in her eyes crawl down to her face then she smiled. "Alright." she whispered then she threw her head back, closing her eyes again.

"Hey," I screeched silently. "The doctors said that you're getting better." I lied. "Do you want me to take your back to your family now?"

I expected her to refuse but she nodded eagerly and sat up. "Yes," Then more tears rolled down her face. "Please."

My whole body became rigid. Why did she suddenly want to see them? No, it's not that I don't want her to feel that way but what suddenly hit her mind? "We'll I'll take care of everything now so we can leave tomorrow so rest well, okay?" I told her, brushing her tears away with my thumb.

She laid back down, yawning. "I love you, little bro." she mumbled before falling asleep.

I tucked her blanket up, kissed her forehead and stroked her soft silky hair as I watched her tenderly.

"I love you too, big sis."

KAITO POV

Shivering, I got out of the car and walked to the door with my almost wobbly feet. My heart was hammering inside my chest as if it wanted to jump out of me. I felt like I was losing all my marbles as tons of questions played inside my head. She wasn't supposed to hide any secrets from me but why didn't she tell me about it? How did Len know about her condition? Is she even getting the treatments that she needs? Is Len taking good care of her? Is...she still alive?

I was about to reach out for the door then I felt someone tapping my back. I turned around and rubbed my hazy eyes to see who it was and...

"Luke!" Meiko greeted with a strange look on her face, probably wondering why I looked so messed up. "Any...news from Luka?"

With that, I broke down in tears and cried like a fucking retard in front of her. I was expecting her to throw me an annoyed expression but she stroked my back and pulled me in, sighing. "She will come back later, I'm sure of that." she muttered, looking down to the floor.

"I don't...I don't know about that anymore..." I whimpered, trying not to be too loud.

She then furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?" she asked. "And what's with that folder?"

I inhaled deeply then grabbed her wrist, pulling her upstairs. Surprisingly, she didn't have that strong personality with her right now. She wasn't angry with me, she wasn't telling me to fuck off and don't bother getting close to Luka. She probably sensed that I finally knew something and she wanted to listen. She was concerned about Luka, concerned about her best friend. I was somewhat glad to find out that Luka had her.

I was pulling her towards mom and dad's room when we suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice, giggling inside Lily's room. I stopped and motioned my finger to my lips, signaling Meiko to keep quiet and she did. Silently, I walked towards Lily's room and cracked it opened then I saw a girl around Luka's age with a short light green hair. Wait...isn't she the same girl who claimed that Luka stole the Rotary watch? I couldn't be mistaken. She is that girl!

"Lily, you're such a bitch. This is why I love you." she squealed.

Lily then laughed evily and shushed the girl. "Don't be too loud." she whispered but I couldn't see what she was doing because if I open the door wider, she would see us. "So tell me," she moaned. "Am I a great actress?"

Meiko pulled me away and took my place on peaking inside the room then she swayed it opened, revealing Lily...standing...beside her window.

"You," Meiko muttered, trembling. "How...how could you do this to your own sister?"

I felt the last screw inside my head fall off then I went paralyzed again. I felt like I was crippled by depression and I felt too down to even react. Everything went black for me then I saw Luka, smiling at me. Her smile filled the dark dwelling where I was at with a beautiful glow that radiated from her. I wanted to move and reach out for her but even before I could, she waved her hand at me and started to disappear from my sight. Tears started to stream down my face then I closed my eyes.

"What's happening?!" mom and dad panicked, jostling inside Lily's room.

I opened my eyes and the next thing I knew was Lily was staring at me with her face that was crooked in horror and Meiko was having a cat fight with the green haired girl. Mom froze like me then dad gasped as soon as he saw his favorite daughter, standing in front of us.

"You messed up with the wrong person, you cabbage-haired idiot!" Meiko screamed then mom peeled her off from her, eyes still nailed to Lily.

I thought I completely lost my sanity. I started to laugh and clap my hands, making everybody inside the room look at me with their lips shut. I walked towards Lily then she backed away, probably afraid of what she was imagining I might do to her.

"Luke, I'm so sorry." she whimpered. "I only did it because I love you. I didn't mean to..."

"No." I cut her off, handing her the folder that Dr. Kasane gave me. Trembling, she took it from my hands. "You know what? It's alright." I said, sarcastically. "Besides, Luka wants you happy so I guess it's alright. You finally got what you want." Then mom and dad, who were out of words ran towards me and stroked my back. "You want her out of your life right?" And with that, my voice started to waver. "I think...I think you'll finally be happy. And she will be happy...because she..." I paused, not being able to bring myself to say it out loud.

I suddenly heard Meiko, breathing heavily then she pushed dad aside and gripped my shoulders, shaking me violently. "She what?" she desperately asked.

"She has cancer."

I finally spat it out, I finally told them. I couldn't care less about their reactions anymore so on its own, my feet brought me to dad's car again. I drove off, ignoring the fact that Meiko was chasing for me. I lost Luka. I lost Luka because of Lily...No, I lost Luka because I let her go.

I promised.

"Listen to me. No matter what happens, no matter how much time passes,"

Things happened. Lily tried to kill herself and made us all believe that she would be disabled forever. Time flew. It had been a month since she left but I never even bothered to look for her. I have no right to say "I promise" because...I realized that my mouth is so full of lies.

"for better, for worse,"

I chained myself to guilt of being the reason why someone almost died. I'm the one to blame why I lost her, why I lost my sunshine, why I lost my whole world.

"for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health,"

Luka! Please come back to me and let's face this together! Please, live! Please, stay with me!

"we'll always be together."

Luka! I want to be together with you! I don't care anymore if we hurt other people. I don't care anymore if all of them dies. I just want to be with you!

Bursting out of the car, I got onto my feet and ran closer to the water—my body brought me to the beach again. To that one place that reminded me so much of her. The place always made me feel right but right now, it was so dull. The serenity that always surrounded the place wasn't there. There were no seagulls, the waves were more violent and the wind was blowing savagely. The warmth of the place was gone.

"Luka!" I screamed her name, being stupid enough to hope that my voice would actually reach her. "Luka, come back to me! I love you!" I screamed again.

I collapsed to the sand as the beautiful golden powder hugged my body. Warmth. I need warmth.

"Even if everyone condemns you, even if it's gonna be mom or dad, I'll always be by your side because that's just how I love you."

Why was I on dad and Lily's side and not hers? Why did I have to forget about my promise?

"What? That's all you ever did to her." a mocking voice inside my head told me. "You keep breaking your promises."

"LUKA!" I screamed one last time before passing out.
