Chapter 10 ~Last in My Winds~

'Ma-Maki... What are you doing?' Farfarello asked.

'Hontou ni gomen nasai, Jei... I have to...' The gun clicked.

Farfarello slowly reached his back pocket and took out his gun. He aimed it at Maki. 'If you're going to kill me, so be it...'

Another gun clicked. This time from behind Maki. It was Schuldig. He aimed his weapon at Farfarello.

'Traitor,' said Farfarello.

'YAMERO!' someone shouted.

The three of them looked around to find out where the voice had came from. Suddenly, four figures appeared from nowhere. Weiß.

'Yamero, Maki!' Yohji shouted.

'Yohji-kun...' Maki broke into tears. 'No... No... I can't...'

'He's just controlling you, Maki!' Aya shouted.

'NO! This is my choice. I have to do this... My life will be ruin if I keep thinking of Jei.'

'Your life will be ruin if you kill him!' Ken shouted.

'This is the only way!' Maki retorted.

'STOP THIS AT ONCE!' another voice shouted.

The seven of them looked up. A helicopter flew on top of them. Crawford and Nagi jumped down.

'Schuldig. Farfarello. Put your weapons down,' Crawford ordered.

'No,' Schuldig replied.

Farfarello shook his head.

Nagi tried to shake off the guns from both of them but it was no use. Their grip were too strong.

'What good would come out of this?' Ken asked.

'A perfect life,' said Schuldig.

'There's no such THING as a perfect life!' Yohji shouted.

While they were quarreling with each other, Omi had set up a plan. He hid behind a wall, away from everyone. He drew his bow and arrow. He aimed at Farfarello. As he was about to let go of the arrow, the wind blew and cause him to aim it at the wrong person. Schuldig. The arrow hit him in the back and pierced through his heart.

No one was aware of this until Schuldig accidentally pulled the trigger and shot Farfarello which then caused Farfarello to shoot Maki but the bullet barely missed her heart. Maki pulled the trigger as well and it pierced another bullet hole in Farfarello's body. Maki dropped her gun and dropped down to her knees.

'Maki!' Yohji shouted, running towards Maki.

'Shit!' Crawford exclaimed, running towards the two other Schwarz lying on the ground.

'Maki! Maki! Daijobu ka!? Maki!' Yohji shouted.

'Uhh...' Maki moaned. 'Yohji-kun... Gomen nasai...'

Tears welled up in Yohji's and Maki's eyes. Yohji held Maki as if he'll never let her go again, 'I'm supposed to be sorry...'

'If it's no trouble for you... Can you help me to Schuldig and Jei?'

'Anything...'

Yohji helped Maki to Schuldig and Jei. Schuldig wasn't moving at all. So was Farfarello. Maki looked at Crawford. He just shook his head.

'No... No...' She broke into tears.

Yohji, Aya, Ken, Omi, Crawford and Nagi stood looking at Maki, Schuldig and Farfarello. The rain poured down heavily as Maki cried.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Maki was discharged from the hospital after a month of treatment and another month of rehabilitation. The bullet Farfarello shot before barely missed her heart and vital organs. She might looked like a normal girl living her life but in reality, she had an even bigger secret.

Wanting to redeem herself, she got back together with Yohji and hooked up with Weiß. She knew it won't atone her sins as she had killed someone. Someone very dear to her. Only the memory of Farfarello and Schuldig lives in her heart.

The wind blew through Maki's hair and coat as she sat on top of the building's railing. It was a cold night. Colder after a mission.

'Iku yo, Maki,' called Yohji.

Maki got off the rail and left with Yohji.
