Between Two Hearts

Chapter 29: Sayonara, Hisoka

~~~~~

"Saino?!" Hisoka's eyes widened in awe. He then shook his head, "Iie! You can't be Saino! She has these calm sapphire eyes."

"Believe it or not, I'm the one and only Saino Kageyami. I have these amethyst eyes because Asuka is a part of me. But it won't stay permanent though."

"Iie…" he whispered to himself.

"So, let's continue!!! Ha!" she dashed towards him, trying to attack first.

Her ebony hair suddenly grew long. The strands were bound and the tip was pointed. She attacked him, using it as her weapon. Hisoka used his sword to shield himself. He was also thinking of the precaution that Muraki had told him before.

"Oh, and be careful neither to get scratched nor injured by the tip of that thing. Or else…"

"… you'll also lose your existence."

But what he's thinking and worrying about was what Asuka, who turned to Saino, told him before.

He thought, "Is she really Saino??? But why would she fight me??? No, she must be just an imposter. Maybe, one of her techniques…"

"Yeah! She must be just an imposter!"

Saino jumped back then smirked, "Hehe. So, you think I'm just an imposter…"

"… Let me explain then to you."

She asked, "Do you remember what I told you back then? About wanting to know my past?"

He nodded, "Yes, you told me that."

"Well, I fully regained them all by the help of Muraki-san."

"Yeah, he already told that to me on my phone."

"Good. Because I already knew who killed my parents," she covered her eyes with her bangs. Clear drops slowly fall on the ground. "Do you wish to know who killed my parents?"

"No, because I already know who," he told her. "Of course! Who else but Muraki!!!"

"Of course you know it because…" her head facing her side. "… IT WAS YOU WHO KILLED THEM!!!"

"NANI?!"

Saino attacked him ragingly and continuously as more tears were offered.

"Even though they didn't care about me, they still mean much to me. But you killed them! YOU KILLED THEM!!!"

The ground they were standing on cracked.

"And I won't forgive you! NEVER!!!" she yelled

"But Saino, it wasn't…" before he could finish his sentence, the pieces of distorted cement rose and hit him, making him hit back on one of the walls of a building. Blood from all over his body came rushing down on the ground as Hisoka was trying to stand up but failed.

"I know you're a Shinigami so you could regenerate. So…"

Her long hair was pointing at him like a scorpion about to sting its prey. Tears were still rushing down her cheek and she couldn't stop it.

She gently smiled, "I have deeply fallen in love with you and I was a fool to believe in a stupid thing such as that…"

"… So, Sayonara, Hisoka-kun…"

Saino closed her eyes and her hair went towards him, striking directly to his heart.

"I didn't kill your parents! Muraki was the one!!!" he exclaimed.

Saino abruptly opened her eyes and stopped. Her hair was an inch away from Hisoka's chest.

"You're lying…" she narrowed her eyes on him.

He cried, "No, am not!"

"Prove it then!" Saino demanded, shortening her hair.

He stood up and sincerely asked her, "Do you still remember your prediction on me?"

Saino doubtingly nodded at him.

"… To sum it all up, a sacrifice and a fight would happen. It would be between your close past person and you. You would also realize in the future that you really do love her…"

"So what about it?" she asked. "I know it's just about you and Kyla." She turned away.

Hisoka held her shoulders, making her turn back to him, and gently smiled, "No, it wasn't because I finally stood what it really meant…"

"… And it's all about you and me…"

Saino blushed and turned away again. Hisoka held her chin and turned her back, making her look directly at him.

He explained, "First, you said that it would be between your close past person and me. That means you and me because I met you earlier than Kyla. Also, I'm the one you called as Hiko, if you remembered…"

~~~ Saino's memory 1 ~~~

"Hiko?…"

"Ne, oniichan, namae wa?"

"Hisoka… Kurosaki Hisoka…"

"Hiso…"

"Hisoka."

"Mmm… may I just call you Hiko? Anyway, it sounds fine, right?!"

"Ah… well… all right."

"Hiko…"

~~~ Saino's memory 2 ~~~

It was almost midnight and Sakura, who was eight years old, just arrived back to her house.

"Tadaima!" she cried and entered the mansion.

While she was walking, she found a room, which was lighted. Sakura went there to take a peek. Her father and mother were both there.

"Ran, it's already late. You might get sick," Sakura's mother said while putting down the cup of coffee on the table beside him. "Anyway, what's that you're working on?"

"It's Kurosaki Hisoka's case…" her father replied, still writing and fixing the papers.

Saino covered her mouth and her eyes widened. She quickly left and ran to her room. She slowly closed the door and threw herself on her bed. She buried her head on her pillow and whimpered.

"Naze? After four years, I was expecting to meet him again. But he… he…"

She kept on crying until she paused then stood up from her bed and wiped her tears away.

"I think I need a glass of water…"

Saino stepped out of her room and went down the stairs. But when she went down, she found her parents were lying dead on the first floor ground. Crimson blood scattered around them. She gasped and ran towards them, shedding more tears.

"Otousan! Okaasan!" she shook their bodies but there was no reply. She felt a strong aura near her so she turned.

To her surprise, she found a man with platinum hair standing near her, making her lean back hard on the wall.

"What luck. I didn't realize that you're his daughter…" he smirked.

"STAY AWAY!!!"

She closed her eyes and stretched out her hands, releasing some of her powers. But, it just cut a few strands of hair, not to his notice.

"I'll be taking you now, Midnight Sapphire…"

"YADA!!!"

~~~~~

"My memories… Now I understand… It was Muraki! Not Hisoka-kun!" Saino thought.

"Card 19… The Sun… The Enlightenment…"

Hisoka continued, "Then, you told me about a fight. And it is what is happening right now. Then…"

He suddenly blushed, "… You told me that I would also realize in the future that I…"

"… I really do love you. And I really did," he gently smiled to her and hugged her, making Saino blush even more. "And I believe that you still feel the same."

He whispered to her ear, "Aishiteru…"

"… Aishiteru… Saino…"

"Hisoka-kun…" her eyes were brimmed with tears. Her eyes slowly turned sapphire.

Those words lightened her up for she had been waiting to hear it from someone else, especially to the one she cared the most.

"Don't worry, Saino. I won't leave you alone… Promise…"

She smiled, "Arigato, Hisoka-kun."

Her head started to ache.

He slowly let go of the brace and asked her, "Doushita no, Saino?"

She held her head in pain and a voice suddenly spoke in her thoughts.

"I won't tolerate it! If you can't do it, then I will!!!"

"Yamette, Asuka!!!" Saino yelled.

Her hair moved on its own and stabbed Hisoka right into his heart.

"AHHHHH!!!"

"NOOOOOOO!!"

The hair slowly pulled itself out and a trace of blood was already etched on it.
