Raiha stood still, facing down on the ground. It was too much a blow, he never wanted all these to happen. He regretted telling Kinichi about his feelings. He hated himself for being such a weakling. He hated himself for not being able to save his one and only love. He hated his mere existence. For if he never existed, he will not have known Kinichi, he will not have told Kinichi anything, then, Fuuko will not have to suffer. Mikagami too.
But just then, he heard a sound. Metal hitting the ground. He looked up, the woman threw Fuuko's bag onto the ground. The same bag which hung the key chain, the other half of the key chain which Fuuko kept for herself, the keychain which spelt "Friends Forever". Memories of laughters and joys flooded Raiha's mind, memories of them making V-Day chocolates for Tokiya, but it did not end there. There were painful memories, memories of Fuuko hugging Tokiya, memories of her expressing her love for Tokiya.
"That's right Raiha-kun. She brought you pain! U remember don't you?" Kinichi said as he saw tears well up in Raiha's eyes.
Raiha remained silent. No words that Kinichi said got to him at all. All he could recall was the smile Fuuko has on her face whenever she was around Tokiya. The bright, lively smile she never smiled at him. Tears he tried to sniffle back fell, as he shifted his vision back to the ground. Raiha stood still for another 10 seconds or so, until finally he started to walk towards Kinichi, not removing his vision from the ground.
When he was infront of Kinichi, he looked up at Kinichi. There was no hatred in his eyes. Not that he didn't hate Kinichi, but there was no need to hate anyone anymore. With gentle and teary eyes, he looked into Kinichi's eyes, smiling gentle, he said, "Kinichi... I know you meant well. But she is my one and only love. Her smile, her beauty, her bravery attracted me to her. She... never ever wanted to hurt me, even after I tried to kill her so many a times."
Raiha continued, "I beg you to let her go. If you must kill her. I'd rather you kill me first. You said she was pathetic and weak, but I beg to differ. She showed me the bravery no other ever possessed. She showed me miracles, she showed me love which I never knew. She painted my life with the many expressions she has. She occupied my mind when it was empty and lifeless. Where else can I find someone so important and wonderful Kinichi?"
"Raiha-kun... What are you talking about? She brought you pain, she brought you sadness. She left scars on your heart! She made you CRY! How nice a person can she be when she tore your heart into pieces?
"Kinichi, she brought me pain and sadness, but she gave me more smiles and joys I never experienced before in my life. She left scars on my heart, so that I will never forget her. She made me cry, but those were tears of joys when I know that she'll be happier with someone else. How bad a person can she be when all she asks for is for me to remember her, Kinichi? By killing her, Kinichi, you will also leave scars and pains in my heart, but for all these I know what a good friend I have... and I will never forget you."

Kinichi was shocked to hear these words from Raiha. Touched by Raiha's words, he fell to the ground, ashamed by his actions. He begged for Raiha's forgiveness, but instead he said, "Kinichi, I beg you to freeze Tokiya totally, so that his organs will still function once he gets to the hospital. Kinichi... I beg of you. Please..."
Kinichi did as told. The woman, who was tearing so much upon hearing Raiha's speech, stood still, unable to move, but Raiha went up to her, and told her to get the ambulance while Kinichi frooze Mikagami. The ambulance did not take long to come, as the hospital was just about 7 minutes drive from the amusement park. Both Fuuko and Tokiya were sent into the A&E Department as soon as they arrived, but were rushed into the operation theatre not long after.
"Tokiya's heart is failing, the stab was too deep. He is in great life danger, we will put him in the ICU to monitor his progress. The rest will be up to his own will to live. We've done out best." The doctor said. He continued, "The female, Kirisawa Fuuko is doing slightly better, but her kidney was frozen too long. I'm afraid much uric acid, and toxic have diffused into her blood system. She will need new kidneys, otherwise, it is unlikely for her to live for long as well. But there are many other patients lined up for kidney donations, it will be long before her time comes."

Unable to take the blow he just heard, Raiha's legs gave way. His body weight pushed him onto the ground. The doctor tried to support him, but couldn't help much. He merely placed his hand on Raiha's shoulder, sending his sympathy to Raiha, and telling Raiha to enter the ICU when he is ready to see both Fuuko and Tokiya.
After about an hour, Raiha slowly stood up from the ground where he sat. He is going into the ICU, but before that, he decided to go to the same doctor to make some enquiries. Raiha immediately headed for the ICU after his talk with the doctor. He chose to visit Tokiya first, he felt terribly guilty, for Tokiya was an innocent party.
Tokiya was in coma. Tubes were poking out from nearly every part of Tokiya's body. The sight of a pale, half dead Tokiya pushed Raiha further into depression, but Raiha felt he had to apologise. So he went to the side of Tokiya, placed his hand over Tokiya's left palm. Tokiya's palm was freezingly cold.
"Mikagami, this is Raiha here." Raiha started, but too much emotions came to Raiha, so much so that he had to pause for a moment. "I am so sorry this had to happen. If not for me, all these will not have happen. We never really talked before, but we share the same feelings. Fuuko links us together. Your heart beats for Fuuko, just like mine. Please don't die. You must live. Fuuko loves you... Mikagami.... Ple.... Plea.... Please.... As long as you live, I promise, nothing like this will ever happen. As long... as... you live, Mikagami..."
Upon saying these words, Raiha left Tokiya's bedside, and visited Fuuko. Fuuko too was still unconscious. So Raiha also decided to talk to her, before the rest of the Hokage came. Raiha told the doctor to inform them. He saw Fuuko fixed onto a dialysis machine. Just like Tokiya, she had tubes all around her. Tears started to flow freely, as he rested his head face down onto Fuuko's bed.
"I have to be strong. I need to talk to her." He thought. He looked up at her, trying to swallow back the tears. He cupped her right hand with his hands, and started to talk.
"Fuuko... Konnichiwa!" Forcing a smile, hoping she could see. "Raiha here. Fuuko... I'm... Soo sorry you have to go through this. I never meant all these to happen. Fuuko... You have got to believe me! Fuuko, I have so much to tell you, but all these could wait, until you are well. Fuuko... I love you so much, so much you probably can't imagine. Fuuko, Mikagami is waiting for you to wake up to encourage him, Fuuko, you MUST live! I'll save you at all cost, you know that. Fuuko... I beg you to live."
"Are you Raiha san?" A voice was heard. It was a nurse. "Kinoshita sensei told me to look for you."
"Oh yah, thank you. I'll be right there." Raiha replied politely.
"I'll wait for you outside." Replied the nurse, after which she left Raiha and Fuuko alone again.
Raiha turned back to face Fuuko. He placed her hands back under the blanket, brushed her cheeks with his hands, and kissed her forehead, and said, "Fuuko, you will live. Fuuko.... Aishiteru...." After saying this, Raiha left the ICU, and headed towards Kinoshita sensei's room.
When he left the ICU, Recca and the rest arrived at the ICU. None of them saw Raiha, except for Domon.

Author's Notes:
Yup! End of another chapter! GeeZ~ Lotsa talking, and emotions by Raiha.
I know I can't bring out the sad atmosphere! Gomen ne! T_T But I really
meant to create a VERY VERY pessimistic kinda feeling. HeE~ ^0^;;
And yah, Yanagi could not help this time round, cos' the injury is too much for Yanagi to bear, and plus it involves internal organs, I think she can only cure exterior injuries and blood loss. (I THINK!) ^_^
YupZ! This fic will be ending REALLY soon! Yah, why I chose Domon to see Raiha?! Geez... I don't know?! Maybe cos' Recca's too impulsive to see him, and Yanagi's too blur, Kaoru's too young. And probably, cos' Domon's to sad to walk too infront. So maybe that's why... *LoLz*
Well, so yupZ! Stay tune! I might end of this fic the next chapter. So might be slightly longer chapter. Finally, since it's ending, PLEASE R&R! Yah, but don't worry, it's not compulsory, as usual! ^_^
Thank you for reading once again! Til' next time, hope you have a nice day! Here's Nurik0o Mikagami penning off!
