You Get Me
Chapter 11
"H-how did you know I was here…?" Kina stood up slowly, looking around for an escape route.
"Stupid, when it snows and you walk in it, you leave footprints." He sneered.
"How could I have been so dense!!" She cursed herself.
"Because you are desperate. Desperate to be free." Max replied as Kina dove at him, trying to punch him in the face. He quickly jumped to the side as Kina fell forward.
"I have enough power to take out the likes of you!!!" She swung her body around, slamming herself into him.
Max stumbled forward but regained his balance quickly. "You can't beat me!" He laughed out loud, "You're so slow, you're not even coming close." He mocked her.
Kina took in heavy breaths as she glared at him.
"Just give up!!!" He screamed at her.
"Shut up!!!" Kina punched at him again, missing as he stepped to the side.
Max froze. "Your eyes…they look so...sad."
"I'll get back on my feet every time until I…defeat you!!" She hissed. "Stop it! Please, it hurts too much."
"It hurts?" Max looked at her with a confused expression. Just the why her eyes look strangely scared him and made him doubt all he had been doing.
"My heart is hurting." She pleaded to him, "Please, just let me live in peace…" Kina began to beg.
"Your heart??" Max's face looked like that of a child.
"You have a heart too." Kina placed her hands on the area of her chest where her heart was.
"This is stupid, what of it girl?" Max angrily pounded a fist on the nearby wall, making a baseball sized hole in the wall as the plaster crumbled around his hand.
"It's not stupid! I'm happy because I have a heart! I live better because of it. It's how I can tell Yue loves me and that I love him. We can feel happy because we have hearts, we can feel love!! Don't you understand?" She looked at him with tears filling her eyes as she tried to explain hearts to this cold, strange person.
"ENOUGH!!!! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!!! SHUT UP!!" Max pulled back a fist and slammed it into Kina's face, causing her to stumble backwards as she spit out blood.
"I can't let you go! I can't let you leave me!!! I'll be alone again! You have to stay with me…forever!!!" He hissed with so much venom it scared Kina.
"You're an open wound Max!" Kina jumped behind him, kicking her leg into his shin as he yelped in pain. She stared coldly at him, "If someone is kind to you, it may not be love. If someone holds you, it may not be love. For Yue, I will make you leave me alone, I will defeat you! Even if it killed me in the end."
"Why die if you have someone to live for?" Max tried to beat Kina at her own game. The little game she was playing with his mind.
"B-Because I have a heart. Yue…I love…you!!!" Kina leapt towards Max, shoving him backwards then she turned and sprinted out of the house. Running as fast as she could as the cold wind whipped at her face. She had dropped her jacket in Max's house. The snowflakes seemed to freeze to Kina's body as she ran. Ran home, to be safe. She muttered to herself as she ran, "T-this is painful…I-I don't understand… understand this pain, this feeling. I don't understand my heart!" She screamed as she tripped, slamming into the packed slush-like snow. She pulled herself up as the now muddy snow stuck and froze to her body. The tears froze to her cheeks as she ran, each step taking out gallons of energy from her cold body. If she didn't get inside someplace warm soon, she was sure that she would freeze. But she didn't care at this moment. She knew it was selfish and stupid but she felt as if she had nobody to turn to anymore. The sky above her darkened as the snow began to blow harder, swirling around her with the cold wind, pounding against her body. The snow seemed to come down in blankets, the white dancing around as if it was on purpose trying to blind her. She soon came near a grove of pine trees where she collapsed under the tree into a soft layer of snow. There she sat against the tree, her blank eyes stared out into nothingness. Memories of what had just happened flashed in her mind and her own words echoed.
"If someone is kind to you, it may not be love. For Yue, I will get you to leave me alone. Even if it killed me in the end."
"But why die, why die if you have someone to live for?" Max's words imprinted into her mind.
"Because I have a heart. Yue…I love…"
Kina screamed, grabbing onto her head. "It's been really painful, I feel so sad, I feel so awful. I've been lying to Yue and I'm not a good wife. I'll be a bad mother! I don't want to feel this terrible. If I have to feel this way all the time, I don't want a heart beating inside me at all!!!" She pulled her numb legs against her chest and began to cry. "Everything's so messed up right now!" But she froze as a warm hand patted her shoulder. Kina looked up to see who was there.
"Kina, is this how you want it to be?" Her father smiled down at her, his body a light transparent color.
"D-dad…" She managed to say from her froze lips.
"Kina…Come back home." Celestin whispered her name softly and tenderly. Behind him, she swore she could see her mother's face smiling at her.
"I want to keep smiling forever, I don't want to feel sad because it's not a good thing." Kina whispered softly.
"So you don't want a heart? You don't want to go back home?" He questioned her, now kneeling next to her.
"But if I go back something painful will happen again. I really don't want anyone else to get hurt. No, not ever again. Please." She cried.
"I know exactly how you feel Kina. But do you know what? That's what it's like to have a real heart guiding you through life. It means every moment you are alive. Listen Kina, if you decide to never return home or let yourself freeze to death, you'll never have to go through any terrible pain and misery ever again but if you escape from your heart, you'll never see Yue, Nuriko, Hotohori, Shiva or anyone ever again. In exchange from escaping from this terrible pain, you will lose all contact with everyone you love. Is that what you want? Is that what you really want…?" He looked into her eyes.
"Yue…" She muttered the words then everything around her began to fade away. In front of her a picture then materialized. Yue was standing in the house, on his face was a worried and very serious expression.
"She should be home by now!!" He angrily looked at Nuriko, "Did you check at the school?"
"She's not there." Nuriko quietly replied.
"I'm going to go and look around." He grabbed his jacket and walked towards the door. The wind blew ferociously through the opened door.
"What are you doing? You'll freeze! It's a blizzard out there!" Nuriko grabbed onto Yue's arm forcefully.
"LET ME GO!! LET ME GO YOU JERK!!" He tried to pull free but it was useless against the strength of the purple haired bishonen. Tears fell down from is eyes as he whispered Kina's name. Hotohori walked over and shut the door. Yue slid down to the ground, bring Nuriko down with him. The bishonen put his arms around his friend to comfort him. The warm tears of worry and fear fell down his cheeks rapidly.
"Yue…why is he crying? Is he really crying because of me…?" Kina stared down at him sadly.
"Watch him Kina." Her father replied.
She stared at him as he cried, his whole body shaking.
"I WANT TO GO BACK! I want to go back to Yue…!!!" She turned to her father, her fists balled up in determination.
"You do have someone who can share your pain and joy. Try to live with him fully, don't be afraid. You can live with your heart Kina, everyone can." Her father faded away.
"YUE!!!" Kina screamed. Yue looked up as he felt another pair of arms wrap around his body then the arms disappeared.
"K-Kina…?" He stopped and looked around.
~*~
Kina jerked awake, her entire body numb from the snow that surrounded her. She couldn't move; all she felt was the biting, freezing snow around her. She tried to call out but her voice caught in her throat and was then carried away with the wind. A figure could be seen in the distance, walking towards her against the blinding wind.
"Oh Kina!!" Yue ran to her. Tears filled her eyes as he leaned down and Kina wrapped her arms around him. They both clung to each other in the cold.
Kina trembled as she cried, "Yue!!! I'm sorry! I'll never try to leave again! I'll never leave you again ever! For the rest of my life!!!"
"Kina, of course not. We'll always be together! Always, you got that?!" He picked her up in his arms and carried her to the car.
She nodded, cuddling close against his warm body.
