You Get Me
Chapter 20
Everything was a blur as her eyes slowly opened. Gradually the world around her came into focus. Her entire body ached with pain as she pulled herself up. She was in the house but everything had been repaired, everything had been swept clean except for herself.
"Yue?! Nuriko!!! Hotohori!!" Kina pulled herself up as she struggled to run room to room, looking for anyone. She pulled open the front door to see that there was nothing around her except water. "What the heck? Where am I?! Where is everybody...?" The red head dropped to her knees. Everything that had happened tediously sunk into her. She fell against the bed, banging her forehead on the wooden backboard and shut her eyes. Kina stifled a sob but soon she was gasping roughly as she tried to keep herself quiet. "Is M-Max still here?!" She lifted her head up and looked around. "Quiet Kina, he might still be here. He might hear you and come to finish you off. If you cry he'll return." She thought to herself as she pulled the covers of the bed around her body, as if to make a safe area for herself. Somehow, she knew the others where ok. After a while Kina sluggishly got up. She had to get a shower. She felt so dirty. The water pounded against her body as she looked at her reflected in the sliding glass doors that kept her shower shut. Her body was covered with purple-blue bruises and gaping cuts. Her skin was a ghastly pale and dark ringlets circled her eyes. She fell against the shower wall, no matter how many times she ran the soap over her she still felt dirty. "Yue...somebody...help..." She cried to herself softly. "I miss you all so, so much. I feel so lonely and sad without you..." After she left the bathroom, Kina scrunched herself up in the corner of the bed, covering her mouth with her hands and she squeezed her eyes shut tightly. She welcomed some form of sleep or escape. But even with her eyes shut, she could still see him.

"So how long do I have to stay here?" A girl's voice annoying exclaimed.
"At least until your body fully recovers from the extreme damage that was caused to it. (Because of your stupidity) Remember, not only where you beaten up very badly but you also used almost ALL of your life force. You used so much of it that if I where to leave your body down on earth they would have believed you where dead and try to bury you, most likely." A male's voice replied.
"Creepy." The girl shivered. "This sucks!" She sighed. "And it wasn't stupid, it had to be done to save my friends."
"Stop complaining! You'd be dead if it wasn't for us! You haven't changed a bit." A more mature-sounding female voice chuckled softly.
"Mom, Dad, I don't really understand what this place is." Kina turned and faced her two parents.
"This is the place between heaven and hell. With the strength of your love and a bit of our help we where able to save you from death. So basically, you are Kina's spirit. You're her but so is that girl you see before you." Her mom tried to explain.
"I'm confused, plain English please!" Kina demanded.
Her mother took in a deep breath. "The girl who is home by herself, crying in the shower, is you. That is you, the shell of your body but most of your spirit had to be extracted in order for your body to heal then you can return to her. And then return to earth, and Yue. In order to heal your body we had to transport you into a dream world where you can heal in peace over a few days or so. The healing process totally depends on the will to live of the person. Even your spirit cannot survive inside your body right now, there is too much damage. You are her spirit, your father and I where able to separate you so that we can speak with you and you can help comfort Yue, Nuriko and Hotohori until you are able to return to your body and your body can return to the real world."
"I think I understand but it makes my head hurt. But if I was so badly injured then how can I, or my body, be walking around right now?" The red head pointed to the girl who was now curled up in the bed, crying.
"That's the power of your will to be with the ones you love, it's healing your body up pretty quickly. Amazing! You see, you would have most likely died if we left you down there. No, you would have died." Her mom put her arm around Kina as Kina buried her face in her mother's shirt and began to finally cry and let it all out.

His eyes burned as he tried to stop the hot tears from spilling out again. He stared out the window as a pearl snowflake gently floated to the ground. Through his blurred vision he swore he saw Kina spin around, smiling at him as the snowflake floated into her hand. She looked up and began to run towards him, smiling with her arms outstretched. Her arms opened to hold him in. But as she neared him, she disappeared, just like the snowflake melted on the glass window. Yue limply lifted his arm up and laid his hand on the window, feeling his hand absorb the cold from the panel of glass. "Kina..." His mouth formed the words but they couldn't make it out of his throat.
"Yue, come on." Hotohori laid a hand on his shoulder, bringing him back to harsh reality.
"How can she just disappear like that?! What if she's out there somewhere, in the cold?!" Nuriko stood up, slamming his hands on the counter top.
"I don't know!" Hotohori calmly replied.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" Nuriko yelled.
"I don't know!!!" Hotohori screamed back as his voice cracked. Suddenly, he was broken too, just like them. Tears began to spill out of his eyes.
"Hori..." Nuriko wrapped his arms around his friend as he sobbed into his chest, "It's ok, we'll find her." The purple haired bishonen stroked Hotohori's back gently as he tried to be strong for Hotohori now, "It's ok."

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as thought they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
~~
A rush of cold wind entered the house as the front door pulled open.
"Y-Yue?" The two bishonen pulled apart and walked to the front door. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going out to find Kina." The white haired bishonen turned towards them, "I can't just sit around here and do nothing! I'll find her!!" The door slammed shut as Yue stood on the icy sidewalk. His footfalls sorrowfully echoed on the quiet street as he looked around. He checked all of Kina's favorite places but didn't find her anywhere. Not a single soul that could ever possibly resemble the woman he loved. The woman he had lost. The one person that had meant the world to him. And now she was gone, just like the cold wind that was blowing past him. The snow began to drift down faster, layering the world with a blanket of pure white snow. He kicked the slush away from his shoes as he walked past the ice cream shop. Then he heard her voice.
"Mmmm!" A happy noise escaped Kina's lips as she began to eat up the giant ice cream cone in front of her.
"Slow down or you'll get a brain freeze!" Yue's eyes widened as he watched Kina gobble down two scoops of strawberry ice cream.
"I don't care, it's good!" She licked her lips quickly then proceeded to eat.
"It's going to fal-" But Yue was cut off as Kina screamed. As if in slow motion she had went to lick the ice cream but it teetered on the edge of the cone and went falling into the concrete sidewalk.
Tears filled Kina's eyes as she muttered, "My ice cream..."
Yue began to turn red as he held in his laughter then he turned to Kina, "Here, you can have mine." He held out his cone with three scoops of ice cream, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.
"Are you sure?" Her eyes widened in happiness.
"Yes!"
"Let's share it." Kina proudly remarked.
~~
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday, came suddenly
Why'd she, have to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said, something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
~~
Yue turned his head to see a young man and woman sharing an ice cream cone inside the warm shop. A tender laugh escaped his lips, "I bet Kina would be begging me for some strawberry ice cream right now, even if it's snowing out."
His voice dropped as he turned and continued down the street. With each step the snow crunched under his feet as he neared the edge of town. Tall pine trees surrounded him as the snow increased its speed in falling. The cold wind bit at his now numb skin but even that couldn't stop the hurting Yue was feeling inside.
~~
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Why she, had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said, something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
~~
"Kina, I'm so, so sorry I never told anyone when you came to me for help! I'm sorry I didn't help you!!" Nuriko murmured quietly as he glanced at the sleeping Hotohori.
He almost jumped out of his skin as he heard a voice whisper to him, "You did nothing wrong. You gave me so much to live for and for that I am in great debt to you."
Nuriko frantically looked around the room but nobody was there. "K-Kina..."
~~
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Yet Another Story! (I couldn't resist!!!!)
Nuriko: I will defeat Max with the power of the cheese puff cannon!
Hotohori: Table will help me fight also!
Yue: Lauren, what have you done to them?!
Lauren: ^_^;; I don't...I...umm...THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!!
