Song: Evanescence – My Immortal
My Immortal
Depression hung heavily in the house of the Hunters, but the activity level hadn't dropped. Aya frowned and looked over some reports, "Ever since we took down Jei, the fights amongst the clans have escalated."
Crawford nodded and handed him a few more pages. "It looks like this clan is growing the fastest."
Aya looked at the page, "Violent group…aren't they…"
"Quite…" Crawford pushed up his glasses. "We're going to have to do something quickly, or the whole nation could be in jeopardy."
Schuldig leaned over the counter to look at the papers. "And if Japan falls…" He let his voice trail, not needing to complete the thought.
After a few moments, the silence was broken as Nagi walked into the room. The three looked up at him, "I think…I may have a way to stop them…"
my immortal
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
Omi sat quietly at his desk at the station. Papers cluttered his desk and piles were slowly growing. "Mamoru…" Omi looked up at the man standing in front of his desk. "My office … now…"
"Hai…" Omi sighed and rose, quickly following the larger man.
"Close the door…" the man snipped as he walked around to sit down at his desk. Omi closed the door and turned to face him, just now noticing the cup of coffee and doughnut that the other man was holding. "Sit…" Omi complied. "Mamoru…you've seem a bit preoccupied today…"
"Ah….gomen nasai…" he bowed his head slightly.
"What is going on, Mamoru? This is a very recent thing…is it just now hitting that your partner is gone?" His boss flipped through some papers.
"Aaah….no sir, its not that…." Omi paused, "It's…just…a good friend of mine…was attacked last night."
The other man looked up at him, "What type of attack? Was it reported?"
"No sir, it was not reported…" he glanced to the side then back at him, "It was a kidnapping and rape…"
The other man blinked. "Really….you know…it's been years…since a case that simple…has occurred around here…"
"Hai…I know…" he looked down.
"Well…is she ok?"
He looked up at him, "H...hai…well, as well as can be expected…"
"And of the perpetrators?"
"I…would assume dead sir…" The other man raised an eyebrow. "Some…Hunters…rescued her, sir."
The other man frowned, "Mamoru, why don't you take the rest of the day off. Spend some time with your friend…make sure she's ok…"
Omi stood up and bowed, "Thank you sir."
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
Keys rattled and slipped into the lock, causing the bolt to flip. This immediately drew Youji and Ken's attention from the television as they jumped up and moved cautiously towards the door. The door opened and Youji began to aim his watch.
Omi walked in and paused, blinking at them. "Hi…"
Youji dropped his arm and mumbled, walking back to the couch and flopping down. Ken glanced between Youji and Omi, "What…are you doing home? Don't you have work?"
Omi nodded, "I got…sent home…"
Ken blinked, "Sent…home? YOU? What happened?"
He shrugged and brushed past the older man. "I'm going to check on Akane…"
Ken shook his head and watched for a moment as Omi walked down the hall, knocked on Akane's door and entered. With a sigh, he turned and sat back down at the couch, "What I miss?"
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone
"Akane…" He walked into the darkened room and over to her bed side. "Akane…" He reached out and brushed his hand across her hair.
She looked up at him, her eyes blood shot and puffy from crying. "Omi-kun…"
"Shh…" He knelt down beside her, taking her hand into his. "It's going to be ok. I promise." He kissed her lightly on the cheek to comfort her. "I notified your school that you would be out for awhile."
She nodded slightly and snuggled her head into the pillow with a sigh.
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
Omi quietly left Akane's room when she had fallen asleep. He glanced down the hallway where Youji and Ken were still watching television. He shook his head and walked to his room and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Oh Akane…" He lowered his head into his hands, his mind racing over the past several months that she had lived with them.
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
~~~Omi and Ken blinked and looked up as they heard footsteps running down the hall. "OHAYOO!!!!" Akane called to them cheerfully as she skid to a stop in front of them.
"Akane! You're sure cheerful today…any reason?" Ken asked.
She shrugged and pulled out a few pieces of bread, popping them in the toaster. "I dunno…its just a sunny day…and no school…and no tests to study for…"
Omi chuckled, "Maybe you should go train and work off some of that energy…because I don't think some of these guys around here can handle such a cheerful person bouncing around here!"
Ken glowered at Omi for that remark. "Hai! Actually I'm gonna go meet Crissy and the others and go to the mall today!"~~~
~~~Akane sat curled up on the couch as Omi walked in from work. He glanced over at her and noticed her face was damp with tears. He quickly shut the door and dropped his briefcase, going over to her, "Akane…what's wrong?"
She blinked and looked up at him, "Crissy…is…missing…"~~~
~~~"MARI!!!!!!!!!!" The house seemed to jolt with Akane's scream.
Omi dashed out of his room and ran to Akane's. Several of the others quickly joined. "Loud enough to wake the dead…" Schuldig muttered."
Omi shot Schuldig a glare then went into her room. "Akane…" She looked up at him, her body shaking and soaked with sweat. Tears were coursing down her face as he went to her and hugged her. "Gomen nasai….gomen nasai…"~~~
you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
Tossing in bed, Omi woke up with a sigh and stared at the ceiling. He closed his eyes a moment then opened them again to see Schuldig standing over him with a glare.
"It's only five in the afternoon, what are you doing sleeping?" Schuldig eyed him with what almost seemed to be concern as he backed off.
Omi sighed and sat up. "The captain sent me home early."
"Obviously…" Schuldig retorted.
A mild glare at Schuldig got quite a repentant look from the telepath. "I came home, checked on Akane. She's…so exhausted…and pained…" He lowered his head, "I…wish there was something…I could do to…"
"There isn't anything you can do." Schuldig responded, his voice serious, yet respectful of Omi's feelings. "I…will help her block the pain, even the memories…if she wants…but that is the most any of us can do…" Omi nodded slightly. "But that still doesn't explain why you are sleeping so early in the day…"
"I'm just…tired…" He ran a hand through is hair then let the hand flop down to his lap.
these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
Omi followed Schuldig out of the room and paused when he saw everyone else standing in their battle gear. "What's…happening?"
Aya was the first to respond, "We have to stop some of the clans from becoming too powerful…"
"We have to give Nagi enough time to try his plan…" Crawford started.
"Nagi has a plan?" Omi blinked and scanned the group, realizing that Nagi was in fact, not present. He looked at Crawford questioningly.
The precog nodded to Omi, "Hai…and I think he could use your help. He's in the lab in the basement."
"Alright…but will you all be ok?"
Youji chuckled, "Of course we'll be fine."
Omi nodded and watched as they left. Securing the door behind them, he turned and made his way to the basement. He paused in awe at all the electronics that were down there. "Nagi-kun…what…are you building?"
Nagi looked up and pulled off some wielding glasses, "Ah, Omi…good, I need your help. I think...if we can get it to work…we can prevent this catastrophe…before it even has a chance to start…"
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me
Omi sat down with his glass of water and looked over the half built machine. Would it really work? And…if so…what would happen to him? What…would happen to her?
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along
