++ Chapter 7 ++
Schuldig brought Maki to a quiet beachside cafe. Yohji followed them.
'What is it you want to talk about, freak?' Maki asked.
'First of, my name is Schuldig. And I wanna talk about Jei.'
'What about him then?'
'Let me just give it to you. He wants to kill you.'
'What else is new?'
'You don't get me do you? He REALLY wants you dead. I had to strapped him to a chair before coming to see you.'
'What do you suggest I do then?'
'Kill him.'
'What?'
'Kill him. That's all there is to it.'
'You suggest that I stoop to YOUR level just to save my own life?'
'In a way, yeah. There's nothing to it. You go to him, shoot him and get on with your life.'
'And live with guilt all my life? You think I'll do that?' Maki stood up and went out the cafe.
//You will when I'm finished.// he thought.
Schuldig followed Maki out the cafe. She sat at the bottom steps of the stairs going down to the beach.
'Why do you want me to kill your friend?' Maki asked.
'To save your own life.'
'Won't you feel guilty as well? Asking someone to kill your friend.'
'Guilt is apart of my name. I had to live with it.'
'Why?'
'Because...' Without thinking, Schuldig kissed Maki deeply.
//What the?!// Maki thought. She pushed Schuldig away and looked at him in disgust.
Schuldig couldn't believe what he did either. He touched his lips and then looked at Maki, 'Maki... Gomen-'
Tears welled up in Maki's eyes. She couldn't take it. She stood up and headed out of the cafe.
'Maki! Matte!' Schuldig called.
'Leave me alone!' she said with a shaky voice.
Maki headed for the cafe exit. Yohji caught up to her.
'Maki!' he called.
Maki stopped and turned around. 'Yohji-kun.'
'Maki. Doshite? What did he do to you?' Yohji asked.
'You followed me?!' Maki asked in disgust, 'I can't believe you! You're following me?! You are not apart of my life anymore, Yohji. So am I in yours. I'd appreciate it if you'd respect MY privacy. What or who I see is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.' Maki slapped Yohji and left.
Yohji touched his cheek. //Ite...//
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Maki unlocked the door to her apartment and headed for her room. She jumped on the bed and buried her face between the pillows.
The intercom on her bedside pedestal buzzed. She pressed the answer button. 'Who... Who is it?'
'It's me, Schuldig. Can I come in?' Schuldig asked, sounding very guilty.
Maki hesitated at first. //Maybe he came to apologize... Come on, Maki. Give him a chance. God always does.// she thought. 'I'll be right there...'
She walked to the front door and opened it. Outside, Schuldig stood there with a face that showed guilt. 'Come in...'
Schuldig walked in. Maki closed and locked the door.
'Please, sit down...' said Maki.
'Thanks.' Schuldig sat down.
Maki sat down on the chair in front of him. 'What brings you here?'
'I just wanna apologize... For what happened earlier. I didn't know what got into me. It's just this weird feeling inside of me and-' Schuldig looked at Maki.
Maki had her head down and covered her eyes. Schuldig got up from his seat and kneeled down next to Maki. 'Doshite, Maki?'
Maki looked at Schuldig with tears in her eyes. Schuldig wiped a tear away from her cheek. 'Do you wanna tell me what's wrong?' he whispered.
'It's... Yohji... He-he followed us this afternoon... He doesn't trust me to go on with my life...'
'Forget about Yohji...Hell, forget about Jei... You have...me...'
Maki's eyes widened in surprise. //What the hell is this man saying?//
