Secrets 2

I know that was a killer cliffhanger. So I decided to make it up to you by getting to work on chapter 2 ASAP! So here it is!

She ran up to the teenager covered in red. Red really wasn't his color.

* * *

The clock was really starting to annoy her. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. All night long. It really begins to bug when you were in a hospital waiting area waiting for news on someone who was really important to you. Makéru tapped her feet and shifted from uncomfortable position to uncomfortable position, which, no matter how hard she tried, did not make the doctors any quicker. 'Grrr…I thought I had gotten through to you, Yamato. I guess I was wrong. Maybe I'm wrong about this whole thing. No! I won't believe it. Damn Yamato, why did you have to go and do that for?'

* * *

'What am I doing still alive? I'm supposed to be dead by now…' Yamato thought. Just then a white light shone and a boy, no, not just a boy….Takeru came down on angel wings.

"Hey big brother" Takeru spoke.

"T…Takeru…?" Yamato stuttered.

"Yes…it is I. Why did you do that for?"

"What?"

"Cut your wrists…"

"I didn't feel right living when I was the reason you're dead"

"What are you implying?"

"I killed you, TK"

"No you didn't…"

"Then what did…?"

"Not what…who"

"Who then?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that. I hope you don't try this stupid stunt again, Yamato. Believe me, you weren't the reason. I love you, Yamato" and with that said, Takeru's wings opened and he left Yamato with thoughts of how to figure out who this person was.

The next morning Makéru awoke asleep in the waiting room. Tick. Tock. Yet again with the clock. She annoyingly tapped her fingers against the chair arms. A doctor came up to her and asked her for her name.

"Makéru Chardon" she replied.

"Right this way, please" the doctor said. He led her to Yamato's room. She knocked on the door lightly.

"Yamato…? Still here…?" she whispered.

"Makéru…it's a hospital. Of course I'm here. I can't get up, not enough strength" Yamato remarked.

"Spare me the sarcasm, please" Makéru pleaded.

"Sorry" Yamato said. She shifted her weight from one foot to another, holding her shoulder. "So…" Makéru looked up and revealed her red eyes. "Oh, come on Makéru"

"Yamato, I didn't know if you were going to live or not. You had me worried Yamato!" Makéru told him.

"I'm sorry Makéru. I don't know what I was thinking. I know now that I was not the reason that Takeru is dead. He came to me and told me he was murdered. I'm determined to find out who it is. Now, Makéru, I'm asking for your help. Will you help me?" Makéru nodded. And teary-eyed she walked up to Yamato and hugged him.

Two dark brown eyes watched the brown-haired girl and his next subject. It made him angry that he got as much attention as Takeru. He hoped the same outcome would not happen with Yamato when he was dead. He planned to get him when he came out of the hospital. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but that wasn't important now. What was important was his mission. To kill off Yamato.

* * *

As luck would have it, Mr. Ishida had to stay late for work again, and Makéru had "baby-sitting" duties again. After an attempt like that, what dad would leave a child alone at home?

"What would you like for dinner, Yama-chan?" Makéru asked.

"What can you cook?" Yamato asked.

"Anything you ask!" she replied.

"How about some lumpia and chow mein?"

"Yeah, sure! Comin' right up!" Makéru turned on the stove and heated the oil. She dropped a couple of lumpia (by the way, lumpia is just like egg rolls, except that's what we Filipino's call it. AZN PRYDE…sorry…on with the story) in the oil and it started to sizzle. She cut up some shrimp, carrots, and stuff of the like and mixed it with noodles. "Food's ready! Yamato! Nii-san!" she called out.

"Coming" her brother's voice from upstairs said.

"Mmmm…nummy nummy" Yamato said, devouring what Makéru had cooked. "This is good" he said with a mouthful of food.

"Yamato, you know better then to chew with you mouth open" she scolded. Her brother came down about five minutes later. "What took you so long?"

"Busy with another project, you know" he said.

"Hey Makoto" Yamato greeted, his mouth again full of food. Makéru put her hands on her hips. "Sorry" he swallowed his food and again said "Hey Makoto" With a flick of his head he grabbed a plate and got some of the food. After eating a little he went back upstairs. "You're brother eats fast"

"Yeah, he gets caught up in his projects sometimes" Makéru said, getting some food of her own. He gave her an "I see" look and continued eating.

"I know who killed Takeru!" Yamato suddenly blurted out.

"Who?" Makéru asked.

"IT WAS DAISUKE!!!" Yamato stated.

"No, it wasn't," Makoto butted in.

"How do you know?" Yamato asked in a 'I Know Everything' kind of matter. "Were you the one who did it?"

"No," Makoto said, and left it at that.

"You piece of…" the television roared.

"Turn that off now Daisuke" Taichi told him.

"Okay" he said. He pushed the button and the screen went black, as did the rest of the power in the house. "I didn't do anything…"

"Why is it that only this house is out?" Yamato asked. "The house across the street has almost all their lights on…"

A cynical, dark laugh interrupted Yamato's observation.
