Sweet Dreams: Part 6
"Hey, has anyone seen Omi anywhere?" Nagi asked, dashing madly into
the room.
"I dunno, but I haven't seen Youji yet today either," Schuldich
said, going back to Crawford. Nagi knew something was wrong. Omi and Youji
were both missing at the same time. Were they together? What were they
doing if they were? Had last night meant nothing to Omi? Did he love
Youji? Was Schuldich right?
"Ken started by looking in the room that Schuldich and Youji were
sharing. He looked in all of the other bedrooms and there was no sign of
either one of them. He got into the elevator and decided to look down on
the bottom floor. Maybe they were just in the game room or maybe they were
both swimming. "No, no!" He whispered tohimself. The littlee boy that was
sharing the elevator with him looked up at him. He had blue eyes and short
dirty blonde hair.He reminded Nagi of Omi.
"What's no?" He asked.
"It's... it's nothing..." he mumbled. This little boy could never
understand what Nagi was going through right now.
"Oh. I'm going swimming. My mommy is already down in the pool
waiting for me. Where are you going?"
"I... I don't know," he said. He wished that he were still a child.
Even more though, he wished that he had been as innocent as this boy was.
He would never have that though. All because of his "gift."
The elevator had reached the bottom floor. Nagi walked out of the
elevator and started off down the hall. He looked in the first game room.
There were two old men sitting at a table playing chess. Unless both Omi
and Youji had aged very quickly, that wasn't them. The next two rooms were
empty. Half of him hoped that the next room would be empty and the other
hoped to find them in the room together. He opened the door to find Omi
and Youji asleep on the couch. Youji had one arm wrapped loosely around
Omi's waist. Omi's face was buried in Youji's chest. Even though Nagi
couldn't see his face, he could tell that Omi was very happy. Suddenly,
the voice, Schuldich's voice, took over his body. Out of nowhere, Nagi was
holding a gun and it was aimed directly at Youji.
"Omi, get up," Nagi said, waking up Omi and Youji. Youji sat up
rigidly and looked from Omi to himself and finally to Nagi. He was
confused as all hell.
"Nagi, This is.. I was just.. I can explain Nagi."
"I'm sure that you can, but I don't want to hear it. Now come over
here, Omi. Now."
"No. I'm not going to leave Youji. I won't let you-"
"Nagi, it's ok. Just put the gun down. We can talk this out. We're
all friends here, right? Buddy?"
Nagi shot Youji directly in the head.
"Oh my god! NO! Youji!" Omi collapsed onto the floor next to Youji
and began sobbing voilently. He bent over and kissed Youji gently on the
lips, hoping that it would save him. "Nagi, how could you? I love him! I
love Youji! Not you, Youji! You ruined everything!" Omi collapsed onto
Youji's chest, shaking with tears. Suddenly Omi sat up, looking very
serious. "Nagi, give me the gun. Give me the fucking gun." Omi yelled. Omi
had never yelled at Nagi before. Never. Nagi handed Omi the gun and
prepared to be shot. It was all wrong. Very, very wrong. Nagi heard the
gun go off and felt nothing.
He opened his eyes just in time to watch Omi colapse on top of
Youji, his left hand gently touching Youji's lips. What had just happened?
This wasn't supposed to happen. He wasn't supposed to be dead. They were
supposed to live happily ever after. Forever. Now Omi was dead and Nagi
alone, utterly alone. All he had left was Schuldich. Nagi had to go to
Schuldich and apologize before he lost him too. He couldn't be alone. He
just couldn't. Maybe if he showed Schu that Omi and Youji were dead, he
would be happy and wouldn't hurt Nagi. Maybe then he would be happy with
Nagi and love him.
Nagi picked up the bodies and walked out the door to go find his
only love, Schuldich. He hoped he would be pleased.
