Five Times Five
By: Princess Ashley
Well, here is the 19th chapter. I intend to finish this fic. Me and my friend are working on a new fic. If you know who Usagi Princess is, that is who I'm working with on the new fic. Hope you all review her story Too Many Wounds, she really does a good job at getting her chapters up doesn't she? Far less time for her than for me. Currently, I can't upload any chapters for any of my stories, so I might as well write out all my chapters while I have the time to. So, here is the 19th chapter. Hope ya'll like it. (Warning: Read the whole thing before you flame me.)
Chapter 19: I will remember you, Heero Yuy, Usagi Tsukino, Rei Hino
The doctors worked on Rei and Minako for weeks, both of them were in a coma, but the doctor predicted that Minako would wake up faster than Rei, who had to have breath put into her to keep her alive. They, in fact, didn't know if Rei would wake at all. Though he didn't show it, everyone knew that Wufei was just the slightest bit worried that Rei wouldn't wake. He and Usagi were both a bit uneasy about the situation. Usagi was on the couch next to Heero, who had his arm around her shoulders and her head rested on his shoulder. Duo was asleep, which was a good thing since he hadn't taken his eyes off Minako for three weeks. He was snoring loudly, but nobody wanted to wake him, for the dark circles under his eyes were beginning to make him look like a zombie.
Usagi had long since fallen asleep in Heero's arms, Ami and Quatre were next to them, Ami's hands were over her mouth, and Quatre was trying to comfort her, but no such luck. This was beginning to unfold into a complete fairy tale of Drama, Romance, Action, Adventure, and Tragety. Deep down Usagi knew that Rei wasn't going to wake, but she didn't want to believe it. Minako had done to much damage. Rei's windpipe was unfixable, Usagi knew from experience. *Don't die on me Rei, please.*
Somehow, once again her thought went into Heero as a tear fell down her face. Rei was going to die? How could she be so sure? But he knew better than to doubt what Usagi was capable of knowing, and never before had she been wrong about any prediction she made. He looked at her sleeping face, and her eyes flickered open. He smirked as she cursed herself again for letting her thoughts and feeling show. Heero picked her up, one arm behind her back, and the other under her knees, and carried her out of the room, and into her room, then shut the door.
***
He sat Usagi down on the bed, and sat next to her, waiting for her to say something. Usagi shook her head, she wouldn't be the first to talk. Heero then spoke. "If she dies, what are you going to do?" He had to ask, he didn't want her to do something stupid out of depression and leave him alone. Though he did have a pretty good idea of what she could do, and what she would do, given a choice.
Usagi looked out into space, she knew what she would do, wheather she thought it was smart or not. She couldn't live with so much loss. She had been dismissed from OZ, she had lost her family, her panther, her best friend, she couldn't live with it. She would sooner break down and live her life in a small black room walloping in her self pity. If Rei died, she would die, maybe not physically, but Rei had been her support, the one person to understand her, who knew what she was going through, to stick by her because she knew that Usagi was doing what she believed. Without that support, no one, not even Heero could hold her up. She suddenly wished she had interfered with the fight, then maybe she would be the one about to die and Rei could live her life out the way she was supposed to. If Rei died, then she would die with her, she would kill herself the same second Rei's heart stopped. "I'll kill myself."
Heero knew it, just as everyone else did. He could sense it with Usagi. She and he could read eachother's minds it seemed. And he knew that Usagi knew what he would do if Usagi killed herself. "Then I'll go with you."
***
Wufei didn't know what to do. He didn't want to just sit there while the woman he supposedly loved was about to die. The doctor had said she wasn't going to make it about an hour after Usagi and Heero had left, which had been a sign that they had known it all along.
Ami was in emotional breakdown. "This is all Makoto's fault, if she hadn't betrayed us Rei would still be alive and we would all be safe back at OZ. None of this would have happened." She whispered to Quatre.
He looked at her with concern in his eyes, he could stand to see this much loss of hope in one room. Wufei had an empty look in his eyes, Trowa seemed to be in denial that this was all Makoto's fault. Duo didn't know of any of this since he was busy in his own little dreamworld, but even a cheery Duo couldn't lighten the mood at all. Quatre looked at her, and tried to comfort her. "Ami, don't worry, you've gotten through something like this before. We'll be alright, don't worry."
Ami looked at him. "I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about Usagi. I'm afraid to think what she'll do when Rei dies. She can't take all this loss. She has suffered more than all of us. She's lost her parents, she's been dismissed from Oz, her panther is dead, and now Rei. She crack..."
There was a flat sound, Duo's eyes opened, and there were two screams coming from Usagi's room. The scream was high pitched, and even Duo knew what had happened. Rei's heart had stopped, and Usagi and Heero had killed themselves. Ami rose from the couch and ran out of the room, up the stairs to Usagi's room, and the others followed.
In Usagi's room, Heero and Usagi were on the floor, in each others arms, blood merging together and staining the carpet. There were three long blades sticking out of Heero's back. Ami looked at the hilts. In gold, there was Usagi's name printed in to the first one. In silver on the second on, there was Heero's name. Then in ruby red on the third, there was Rei's name printed on it. It was the knives given to them when they bacame assasins, long preserved to kill themselves with.
Before they could approch the bodies, they both disappeared, a sparks flew all over from where they once layed. All evidence that there had once been a couple that murdered themselves in that room was still there, but the bodies were gone. The blood was still on the carpet. The knives had fallen to the floor, blood stained on the blades, and the names on the hilts told the life story of each of their victims. Everyone backed out of the room, and Quatre shut the door, taking one last look into the design in the room, burns still covered it from the crash that was so long ago, and left all the memories in that room, for he was never going to enter that room again. The fate of his friend and his friend's love were contained inside it.
"It wasn't supposed to end like this...I will remember you, Heero Yuy...." A figure said, watching out of the window. The woman's greenish black hair waved in the night's winds. "Hime, minna will be together again.....someday..."
***** I'm in tears right now, I'm sorry I had to make this chapter. This was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to write. Believe me when I say that I never wanted it to come to this. But don't worry, everything works out in the end, trust me. Don't flame me just yet, pleaz!!!!! I get sad when I get flamed!
