Tigre: I'm sorry this has taken so long. I know I said five reviews, and
you guys were so nice you gave me 18! I kept trying to work on it, but my
muse had abandoned me. Don't worry! She's back, and now I'll be working
as hard as I can on getting even more of this out! ^_^ I'm not promising
anything though. She tends to leave at the most inconvenient times.
Yuki: She always blames everything on me! *pout* I'm a busy person...er...muse.
Chapter 2
Ken sat by the bed in the white, sterile hospital room. The only sound other than the steady beeping of the heart monitor, was the deep steady breathing coming from the small pale figure laying in the bed.
He knew he had nearly died with him though. He couldn't live without the smaller boy in his life. He couldn't without any of the others of Weiss, but especially Omi. The boy was very special to him. He always had been, they'd always been much closer than any of the other assassins. He knew he would die along with Omi if the other boy didn't make it. Because, in reality, Omi was a part of Ken. Just as much as Ken was a part of Omi.
Ken glanced over at the still form on the bed. He was so pale, and he looked so small. He felt his heart ache just looking at him like this. Omi had always been the one to hold the group together. It was his smiles, and encouraging words that made it possible for the four assassins to keep their sanity. Without him here, there would be no Weiss. It was as simple as that.
He really hated seeing the smaller assassin like this. It broke his heart. He still had no idea why the boy had tried to kill himself. The door suddenly burst open, and Yohji came storming in.
"What the HELL happened?!" He demanded. After Ken had called the ambulance he called Yohji and Aya's cell phones and told them Omi was going to the hospital. He had left it at that, not giving them any information. Yohji then spotted Omi.
"Holy Shit." He muttered. "My god, what happened?" he asked a bit calmer now that he could see him, and see he was alive.
"He tried to kill himself." Ken answered simply. It was then Yohji noticed the bandages on his wrists. "If I had found him any later than I did, he would have died."
Yohji stopped to digest this. "Why? I didn't even know anything was wrong, he seemed so normal. He didn't act any different from usual."
'No', Ken thought, 'he did. He had been avoiding me for the past few months. I asked about it, but he said it was nothing. He wouldn't talk to me. Maybe...did I do something that made him want to kill himself? What if...what if he found out? Oh my god, what if all of this is my fault?'
He ducked his head, and pressed the heel of his hand to his eyes, unable to stop the flow of tears.
"It's all my fault..." He murmured.
"What?" Yohji asked.
"I should have known; he's been avoiding me lately." He took a deep breath. "It's all my fault, Yohji." He broke down and started crying. He couldn't help it. He shouldn't he was an assassin and tears were a sign of weakness, but once he started the tears just kept coming.
"Ken...this isn't your fault. As much as I'd like to have someone to blame this on, you had no idea he was going to do this. I...I think I might know why he did it, but I don't think it's my place to tell you." Yohji looked down at Omi's small form. "When Omi wakes up, I think he should tell you."
"Wha...what are you talking about?" He understood, but it hurt to know that Omi told Yohji something that he couldn't say to him. It stung very deeply.
At that moment their attention was drawn back to the bed, where Omi began to stir. He slowly opened his eyes.
"K...Ken-kun?" He asked, blinking to clear his vision. Ken was by his side in an instant. He gently took his hand, trying not to jar the bandaged wrist. "Ken-kun, what happe..." His eyes widened as he began to remember everything.
"Why?" Omi's eyes teared up. "Why did you save me? Why did you stop me?"
Ken's breath caught in his throat. Omi still wanted to die? Why? Didn't he see how important he was to Ken? How important he was to all of their team? They needed him. All of them.
Ken tried to tell him that, but what came out instead was, "I love you Omi."
*TBC*
Tigre: duh duh duh! The confession! Hehehe...I'm evil.
Yuki: That you are.
Tigre: But don't you just love cliff hangers?
Yuki: Review, or this is where the story will end. *evil smirk*
Tigre: And I don't think anyone wants that!
Yuki: She always blames everything on me! *pout* I'm a busy person...er...muse.
