Part 5
"Trowa..!?"
"Kylai...what are you doing here? Heteros are forbidden here..."
Staring at Trowa with the gun, I could almost sense, feel it. He was the one, he was the killer. But why..I thought you were Duo's best friend! I thought.....
"I am here to visit my brother, and to fix his wound." I answered coldly, as I approached him, "Which...YOU did...right!?"
I didn't know if it was surprise or amusement that lit this mysterious boy's face, but one thing, I knew he wasn't sorry for it, "What are you doing here anyway Trowa?"
".....I have come to finish what I have began. So why don't you step away and allow me to do what I am to do..."
"Are you fucking crazy!? No way in hell are you going to kill the last of -my- family Trowa!" I managed to sputter out in my angriest tone that I could ever manage at the moment. I shook my head many times, and backed up towards Duo. I would guard him with my life, because I loved him so. Trowa just approached me, until Heero intervened in front of me.
"Don't Trowa.." Heero said darkly. I couldn't see the look on his face, but I could tell he was pissed. Glancing back at me, Heero muttered, "Finish with Duo..." I nodded, as I turned around. Duo was literally unconcious. Regretfully, I slapped him across the cheeks to wake him up. He jolted and opened his eyes wide. "Mpph!?!"
"Good, now stay awake Duo. I still need to remove that bullet from your side." Kneeling down, I kept a tense glance at Trowa and Heero, before I grabbed a rag to clean the dagger as thoroughly as possible. As soon as it looked sanitary, I dug it into his still open side, almost feeling the small piece of metal immediately. I pulled it out with the dagger, and watched the blood-coloured bullet fall into my hands. I had to fight off any attack of nausea as I placed it on the floor.
"Step away from him, Heero."
"....no..." Heero stated strongly. "Don't push me, Trowa."
"Damnit Heero....I need to avenge my lover's death...!" Trowa shouted angrily, as he cocked the gun and pointed it in Duo's direction, narrowing those green eyes. "He...he killed the man I loved!"
"What do you mean? I thought you were.."
Trowa raised an eyebrow. "Hetero? Heh...I only lied to keep my skin in the school. I was very much in love with a young man. He didn't go to this school, frankly, he wasn't a gangsta. He was a respectable business man. His name was Quatre Raberba Winner!"
Duo jerked a bit, I raised my head to stare into Trowa's enraged eyes. As I finished wrapping Duo's wound, I stood up, and glared at my so called best friend.
"How dare you call yourself Trowa Barton!? The Trowa I knew, and trusted never acts like this, he would understand everything that happens." I clenched the bloodied rag, as tears welled my eyes. "....He would never..never want one he called his 'little sister' to suffer any pain...I-I don't care anymore..about anything. You know how I feel, what shit I have gone through! I was nearly fucking raped, and I felt so alone. Only two people have been there for me. You were one. Why can't you be my second brother to me again!?"
I knew I hit a spot within him. I saw him lower his gun, then lower his eyes.
"Kylai..." He whispered, as he looked up, and stared at me, "I..I only wanted to make sure you were happy. I am sorry, but..your brother killed my lover. You know who it is. The man you tried to rob a long time ago. Yes...that was him. He was a rich man, who only wanted to help us. He could have gotten all of us saved from the hell we lived in. I only needed the time...."
I stood there, in mere silence. Then, hearing groans from the background, I turned around, seeing Duo sit up once again. With strained eyes, he stared at Trowa.
"Duo..please--..."
"It is alright Kylai..." He whispered gently, before turning his attention to the banged teenager. "Trowa, I know...I know you are in deep pain, but I didn't know who it was until it was too late..." He struggled with his words, while he stopped to gain some air, "...I needed money...so..I found my nearest target and attacked. I am..sorry..."
"Don't bother me with your falseness Duo." Trowa replied bitterly, "you would be dead if it weren't for your sister."
"What do you mean..?" Heero asked curiously, as he glanced at me a bit.
"Kylai, was a friend I never had. She had always been there for me, through good and bad. When she was down, I tried my best to help her. Duo, when you weren't there, Kylai had been abused, and nearly raped by that asshole Edwin. I was her protector, still am, until now, I guess. When Kylai is seventeen, she will be engaged to Edwin Martinez. She will have his children."
"What!?" Duo spat out in a disbelieving voice. I cringed a bit, then nodded sadly. Duo looked at me, and shook his head. "No...no, I can't allow it! That madman will kill her!"
"You should have thought of that. Who was more important to you then Duo? Your love? Or your family? Unlike you, Kylai never gave up. As in example, when she returns, she will be punished by Arian. Does she care? I doubt it. Sadly though...I won't be there...to help her through..."
"Trowa..?" I gently pushed by Heero, and stared at him. "Wha-what do you mean..?"
Trowa looked at me, and smiled gently. He brought a hand to my face, and carressed my cheek gently. I blushed a bit, and stared at him. He still cared about me, I knew it.
"I..I am gonna go..join the one I love. Kylai...you.." He knelt down, "I love you too...very much, but..you already have someone in your life. I want you to find your angel, and take care of her. Kylai...don't follow me..." With a clouded look, he let go of me, and turned around. "Farewell, Heero, Duo, Kylai." He opened the door, and left slowly. I stared in total shock. He..loved me. Trowa Barton..loved me. I wanted to tell him. As I walked towards the door, Heero grabbed my shoulder, just like long ago.
"No..." Was all he whispered. He tightened his grip on me, as I tensed. Suddenly I heard gunshots, then silence. No...no..it couldn't be! Trowa...Trowa....Trowa!!!!!
"TROWA!!!!!!!!!" I screamed out. Breaking from Heero's grip, I heard their protests to come back as I ran out the door. Instantly I felt the cold twinge of death. I turned towards where I heard the blast, and ran. I ran blindly, until I came upon someone staring at me. Looking down, with tear-stained eyes, I fell to my knees. It was Trowa...
"Trowa...my god...why...oh why???" I whispered sorrowfully. I stared into his blank white eyes, and cradled the cold body as best as I could. Was this my future. Was this really what Arian meant? Death, drugs, sex, children. Cries in the darkness..discrimination, all this? Was this..a Gansta's Paradise?!? I carefully acknownledged this into my mind, as I howled out in sorrow....
