You Get Me
Chapter 17
"NOOO!!!!" Nuriko screamed as his face contorted to that of a frightened and angry beast. His feet scrapped the floor as lunged forward and grabbed onto Kina's legs, holding her up in the air so the rope wasn't choking her. "Don't worry Kina, it's ok!! IT'S OK!! BREATH!" He yelled up to her.
The red head let out a wheezing noise as fresh air filled her lungs. "N- Nuri...you s-saved me..." She managed to sputter. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Max stand up straight as his face wrinkled up with anger.
Nuriko trembled as he pushed her up a bit more. He was too short to reach and untie her. Normally he'd have enough strength to keep her held up in the air but from the running and rain his strength was slowly being drained from his body.
"Max, stop this insanity! I know, deep inside, you are just scared to be alone! It'll be ok, you don't need to hurt anymore. And you don't need to hurt those around you." She begged him.
"Stop it Kina, you'll only make him madder." Nuriko pleaded for her life then glared at Max, "You can't change a leopard's spots."
"You're not an animal Max, you are a human being! Let go of your girlfriend, let go of your family! Find peace inside of yourself." Tears spilled down Kina's cheeks.
His bangs shadowed his sad eyes as Max looked up at her and began to screech, "SHUT UP! MY GIRLFRIEND RAN OFF WITH A BISHONEN AND I NEVER GOT MY REVENGE! YOU'RE JUST LIKE HER! JUST LIKE HER! BISHONEN KILLED MY FAMILY! IT IS YOUR TURN TO DIE, YOU TRAITOR TO HUMANS!!!"
"Max...Yue drives me crazy but right now all I can think about is kissing him. I know it sounds crazy but...I don't know what it is! All I know is how it feels. Find somebody who feels that way about you, just wait and hope." Kina sobbed. It was hard for Nuriko to hold her up along with the weight of the growing baby inside of her.
"NO!!!! NO!! I WILL END IT ALL HERE! I'VE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK!" He lifted his two hands in front of his body then pushed off of the ground, running at Nuriko. The sickening crack of bone against bone filled the room as Nuriko was slammed into the wall. The rope cut into Kina's throat as it tightened, cutting away her air supply. Plaster crumbled around the two men as the dust slowly cleared.
~~
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams?
Yet slips away from us.
~~
Nuriko struggled against the brute force of Max as his thick fingers ripped through the purple haired bishonen's flesh.
"Nnnnn!!!" Nuriko snarled fiercely as he pushed Max off of him. "You will pay for your wrong doings!! It's one thing to hurt somebody but it's another to hurt my friends!" He dove at Max, throwing a punch across his jaw.
"I thought you where stronger than this." Max smirked, "I can feel you being drained of your power."
"I will fight to the death if it means saving my friend!" Nuriko jumped at Max but the boy swerved to the side, avoiding Nuriko's attack.
"All while you fight your little friend dies!" Max laughed as he cracked his elbow against Nuriko's skull.
"Gahhh!!" His purple hair was stained with blood as he crumbled to the floor, barely holding himself up as Max advanced towards him.
"I'll kill two birds with one stone." A crooked grin spread across Max's face as he stood above Nuriko, laughing at him. With one hand he reached down and lifted Nuriko up into the air. Nuriko's hands scrapped against Max as he kicked and punched to get free. He had to get free. He had to save Kina, if not for himself and her, then for Yue.
~~
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us
1.1 It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.
~~
Kina watched in horror as Max held Nuriko in the air, slowly choking him. His fingernails dug into her friend's neck. Her brother. Her Nuriko. The metal wire scratched against her skin causing it to go raw as she tried to get free. Nuriko, Hotohori, Shiva and ...Yue...they all had risked their lives to save her. Not once but twice in fact and here she was again, needing help.
"I'm weak and pathetic." The thought raced through her mind, "I'm always the one needing saving. Why can't I save my own friends?! WHY!?! Am I that weak of a girl? Can't I make a difference? Can't I save my friend, a person who means so much to me I can't even describe it in words." Tears fell down her cheeks as she felt the room blurring around her. She had no oxygen.
~~
Who wants to live forever?!
Who dares to live forever?!
When love must die
~~
"I love Nuriko, Yue, Hotohori, all of you. I know who I want to protect." Kina began to pray as her mind filled with a white light.
"D-Dad...?" Kina looked upward to come face to face with a shadowed figure.
"Kina, you know what you must do. Be brave." Her father gently rested his hand on her shoulder.
"I u-understand." She whispered, "But before I do it, c-can I talk to Yue one last time? Please, it is all I ask of you. As your daughter, as a friend, as a person." She pleaded as hot tears splattered to the floor.
"Yes." He replied softly as the world around her disappeared.

Yue pushed down on the gas pedal. The speedometer sped up as he flew down the freeway. He'd be home soon. He had a strange urgency to get home. All of a sudden, a voice cried out to him as scenes flashed in his mind. His foot slammed on the brakes as his eyes widened.
In front of him, the events that where happening flashed by quickly. Behind him, horns honked as they sped around him.
"Get off the road!!!" An angry man screamed.
"Don't they see it...?" He whispered. He had to get home if this thing, this vision, was true.
"Y-Yue..." A familiar voice whispered to him.
"KINA!! KINA, WHERE ARE YOU!?!?" He looked around. Was she safe? Was that vision wrong?
Next to him her body slowly materialized. She was a strange transparent color and she was practically see-through.
"Yue, I have to save Nuriko. I have to be able to save all of you but in order for me to do that, I must go somewhere very far away and I might not be able to come back." She tenderly whispered to him. She fought the tears. She had to be brave.
"I don't understand..." He replied, reaching out to her as his hand passed through her body.
"I have to use some of my bishonen powers but I don't know if I'll survive the surge of power. My body can't handle it from all the loss of energy from Max and being...hung." She finished; still fighting the tears as her body trembled.
"NO!!! I BEG YOU, DON'T DO IT!!!" Yue finally comprehended what she was going to do, "NO!!! I HAVE TO BE WITH YOU!! I'LL SAVE YOU AND NURIKO!!"
Kina's face softened as her body began to fade away. She didn't have much time left, "The person I desire to protect is you. All of you, my friends, my family, my husband, my child. I'm sorry if I can't save the baby..." Her voice dropped as she stuttered, "T-Thanks for m-making my heart so strong and h-happy."
Yue tried to grab her, to stop her from leaving but his hands passing through her each time in a futile effort, "I won't allow you to sacrifice yourself for me!!! NURIKO IS STRONG! WE ALL ARE! SO ARE YOU!!! THERE IS NOBODY THAT CAN REPLACE YOU!!! DON'T DO THIS KINA, I BEG YOU!"
Her chin trembled, "Yue, thank you. Thank you for teaching me lots of good things. You're so kind, so brave and so strong."
"KINA!!!!" He screamed as he tried to grab her again, her body was almost completely gone, "Don't leave me!! KINA!!!!!"
"Y-Yue! Please don't forget me!!! I'll never forget you! NEVER!! No matter what happens!" Her faded hand reached out to brush the tears from his face but it only passed through him, sending chills down his spine. She tenderly whispered to him, "I love you...You'll be safe now..."
Her body disappeared completely; leaving a deep blue glitter that then faded also. Yue pounded the seat as hot tears dripped from his face, "NO!!! I-I never told y-you that I love you!!!!!!! And that I'll always love you!!! Oh KINAAA!! It can't be!!!! IT CAN'T BE!!!!!!!!!!"
~~
1.2 But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
~~
Kina reappeared in the white world as she fell to her knees, "He's gone. Gone! Yue is gone and everybody else!!! I feel s-so sad and lonely inside...so lonely. I'm sorry I lied to you about this Yue, I didn't stay with you like I promised I would!!!" She grasped onto her own shirt and cried harder.
"We agreed on this Kina." Her father said to her as he held a hand down to her.
"I k-know..." She took his hand as he helped her stand up. She had to save her friends now. She just had to.
~~
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
