CHAPTER EIGHT: THE ANGUISHED TRUTH

At that moment, Ken recalled something.

He woke up hearing the sound of someone barging through his front door. Shocked, he leapt up and saw a silhouette of some person. Ken's vision was hazy, he didn't know who the person was,-he really had no idea.

"You bastard!" the person raged in fury. "You left me for Hikari, I accepted that." Ken just sat there on his bed looking blankly but anxiously at the anonymous person. The person grimaced with disgust looking at Ken. "You took her heart those early years but answered her prayer after finishing with me." The person seemed to have held something up. "I wont allow you to play with another any longer."

Suddenly his vision came back; the person had brown hair and dark eyes. His face was full of anger and hurt. Tears filled his eyes. It was DAVIS. However, before ken could have said a word to explain for himself.BANG! BANG!

Ken fell and banged hard on the floor. With his remaining strength, he looked up to Davis' face. Hurt and guilt was what he was showing, he fell kneeling down beside Ken murmuring, "What have I done?" he dropped the gun. Davis then screamed I'm sorry! However, it was too late, Ken never heard it. he was gone.

Ken stammered at what he just evoked.

He rushed to a mirror and took off his shirt-he saw a mark; a gunshot. He raised his hair and there was another one on his temple. In shock, he stumbled to the floor.

He stood up, his face showed confusion, hurt, denial, and guilt. He looked for Hikari, and there she was looking at the teddy bear as if it were Ken. He tried to hold her, but no, his arms went right through her.

He whimpered, "I've never told you how much I really loved you Hikari." He said staring at her eyes, not hearing his words and not feeling his touch. He smiled as he tried to caress her hair, he grunted, as he couldn't. "You're the reason why I'm still here, my soul wanders and will continue if you don't here this. My love for you is all I had it's all that's keeping me here. My words are all that I have to prove myself, to finally rest, and to rid myself of the agony. I love you, and it's for all eternity. GOODBYE" Ken pecked Hikari on her lips. Hikari jerked, placed a hand on her lips, and looked around her-baffled.

Ken walked away and looked back at Hikari, the love he wanted to prove was left undone, she still doesn't know. Now he leaves his beloved behind with anguish because her love has parted, but this love will always be all- IMMORTAL.
