Rin and Illasu

Rin stayed in the doorway of the dark, awful smelling room. He didn't move, didn't breathe. Illasu eyed his pale face staring straight back at her. Rin felt her eyes piercing right through his skin as she tossed in pain. He slowly went to her bedside and laid on the covers right next to her. She turned to him and locked her arms around him. The needles stuck here and there stretched to allow her to find him in the dark. Rin leaned in and kissed her forehead then put a hand behind her head, pulling her close. Rin let a few tears roll down into her hair and continued to stare at the wall. She closed her eyes and fell asleep while he debated what to do. Kadowaki said that Illasu would need him most now. He shut his eyes and whispered for her to hold him tight. She unlatched her arms and grabbed his shirt while he opened his eyes and slowly pulled the IV needles out. When one came out, she screamed in pain. Rin winced but continued to pull out the others. She clenched her fists on his shirt and cried into him. When they were all out, he slid out of the bed and stood up.

Illasu: Rin...

Rin: Illy, come with me.

He turned back to the bed with a weak smile and reached out towards her frail body. She put her arms up and felt all her strength dissipating out. She clenched her teeth trying to keep them up. Rin leaned down, wrapped her in the blanket a little, and wrapped his own arms around her protectively. She was so small in his great arms she looked like a small child. Rin slowly raised her from the bed and turned towards the door. He could still hear Kadowaki jiggling the handle and now she was screaming. Rin let his tears fall slowly as he advanced to the door.

The Waiting Room

Kadowaki had heard the screams and had screamed for Rin to open the gosh darn door. She pounded on it softly and cried unto it. When Rin came to the door and slowly turned the handle, Kadowaki backed away and held her breath in disbelief. Illasu was pale and her eyes were misty. Rin stood there, looming over all of them. He slowly walked forwards and held Illasu tighter.

Cid: Rin...you have to...stop (fumbling, trying to grab his arms)

Rin made no notice of the headmaster and walked slowly to the door. He could hear the screams and poundings from people on the outside. He stood at the door looking straight forward. Illasu weakly lifted her arm and made a motion. A light shimmered outside and blinded everyone. Rin opened the door and walked out. The light resumed for a couple moments then burned out. Illasu's arm fell softly to Rin's side as he walked down the hall. All the students outside were holding their eyes. They didn't see Rin and Illasu advance on. Illasu's breathing slowed as Rin shifted her to a different position, letting her head come to rest on his shoulder. Students who had no interest in other's affairs meandered to their classes. However, many of the waiting room residents had rushed after Rin. Seeing his destination, Rin put his hand to her face and kissed her cold cheek. Illasu coughed and smiled weakly, oblivious to what had happened. Coming in through the Garden doors at the front of the school, Squall saw Rin, walking into the Library. He sulked after him and seeing Illasu's wings, sprinted towards him. Rin slowly turned to look at him and stepped into the Library.

Library

Rin looked up at the ceiling and around at the walls. Illasu moved in his arms. Rin looked at her and smiled, walking to the back. Finding their place, untouched, he slowly laid Illasu against the shelf. She held a hand to her mouth, coughing and wheezing. Rin sank down beside her, putting his arms around her shoulders. He started to cry and she looked up at him.

Rin: Oh gosh...Illy...

Illasu: Rin, I'm gonna get better...don't worry so much.

Rin: (hugging her close with a hand to her face) I have...to go away for awhile.

Ilalsu: Why?

At this, Rin only pulled her close and kissed her hair, running his hand through it. Illasu pushed him away and looked at him, coughing hard again. She knew something was horribly wrong. She weakly put her hands to his face and felt his skin with her thumb. She waited for him to answer, but he never got to. Squall came running up to her and hit Rin across the face before he knew what he had done. Rin, not ready for the sudden force, was smacked away from her. Illasu let out a weak scream. Squall stood there eyeing Rin, on his hands and knees. Squall knelt beside Illasu and put a hand to her forehead. She was extremely warm. The rest of her, however, was frozen. Squall put his arms around her, softly lifting her up. Illasu fought to get back down to the ground. Clawing Squall's face and shirt, Illasu did not succeed in getting anywhere. Rin finally regained himself and stood up. Illasu held onto Squall and looked painfully at Rin. He walked towards Squall, but the commander advanced towards the door.

Squall: I'm taking her back to the Infirmary before she dies. You can follow if you want, but you will not be laying a hand on her.

Rin: Illy...do you want me to follow you?

Illasu was fading fast and did not answer. Squall sighed and kept walking. See D's then rushed into the room. Some were dragging the thick, familiar chains. Illasu saw them go to Rin as he submissively gave in. They threw him to the ground and forced him to stay there. Four of the good sized boys sat on him while the rather muscular ones forced the giant cuffs onto his wrists, behind his back. Rin didn't move at all, for if he did he knew it would be worse. They pulled his hair and fastened a giant, thick ring around his neck. Illasu screamed and weakly kicked Squall. Reaching into his pocket, he retrieved a small syringe. Biting the cap and pulling, he stuck it into Illasu's shoulder. She screamed as loud as she could and felt a wave of sleep rushing over her. She screamed one last time for Rin and fell asleep on Squall's shoulder. He continued walking, not looking back. Rin screamed Illasu's name and was then smacked. They placed a thick amount of rolled duck-tape in his mouth and placed heavy chains around his feet. He watched as Squall disappeared into the small crowds of the school.

See D: Rin Ogami, you are to be escorted to a secured prison. There, you will be serving a two month term under low security officials. Failure to come quietly will result in your term being extended. Please, follow us.

Rin shifted his shoulders and waked out with the See D's. The students screamed their displeasure at Rin, cheering on the See D's. Seifer appeared out of nowhere and stared commanding that they return to their classes. Fujin and Rajin also assisted. The cold night air rushed at Rin's face, making the chains even colder. The soldiers opened the doors of the airship and allowed Rin to get in. He couldn't step up onto the ramp with the chains and had to be helped. As they shut the doors, sealing him in darkness, a female See D with a teary face jumped in clumsily. It was Trent.

Kadowaki's Office

Squall slammed the door open and rushed inside. He had noticed no pulse emanating form Illasu's wrist. Kadowaki had been getting ready for anything and so she escorted Squall back to the bedroom. Hooking her feeble form to the machines again, Kadowaki furiously began checking for a heartbeat. It was not that strong but it was there. Squall tried to assist Kadowaki as much as possible. He rubbed Illasu's hands ferociously and secured an oxygen mask to her face. Kadowaki turned it on, adjusting it to a high setting. When she was sleeping soundly, with a full supply of oxygen coursing through her, Kadowaki sat down in her chair. Undoing her collar for some air herself and letting out a deep breath, she pushed her hair back.

Kadowaki: Where's Rin? I imagine they've already taken him away?

Squall: Yes, he was removed from the building when I was coming here.

Kadowaki: It's gonna be harder to keep her alive now. Poor Illasu, she doesn't even know what happened yet. If you hadn't taken her when you did Squall...

Squall: Then let's be thankful I made it in time.

He went over and caressed Illasu's face. Her sport bra was drenched in sweat. The baggy pants she wore stuck to her legs in places. Squall thought he was the cause of it. Kadowaki saw his concern.

Kadowaki: Squall...it's not your fault hon. Illasu just didn't know her limits and her capacity of strength. She would've been fine if Rin hadn't pulled that stunt, taking the IVs out and everything. Now...I don't know anymore...I just don't know.

Squall nodded, saluted and walked out slowly. Kadowaki looked at Illasu, crying softly. Quistis poked her head in as Squall left and asked the doctor if she needed anything.

Kadowaki: (peering at her watch which reads 8:37) Yeah, a giant Tylenol and a hot cup of tea. Thank you Quistis.

he female See D walked out and later returned with the tea. Kadowaki took it gratefully and got up. She walked to the room on the other side and opened the door. The reeking smell of death rushed at her as she walked in.

Shiro and Yugo

Shiro had taken Yugo back to the dorm, but Yugo wouldn't sit down. He paced around, fiddling with Shiro's Boken sword (a Japanese, wooden, practice sword). She laid down and watched him. His face had the same look Rin's had had. They really are twins, she thought. Getting up, she came up behind him and put her hands on his shoulders. He sighed and put a hand on hers.

Yugo: This isn't right. This whole day sucks! Rin shouldn't have gotten that and everyone knows it!

Shiro: Yugo, he killed someone.

Yugo: But why did he? That's not Rin!

Shiro: I know...I don't get it either.

Yugo: I heard that a gang of See D boys beat up on him and Trent. That's why Rin had to kill Vern. They would've killed him.

Shiro: You missed about half of the story if you think that. The boys were walking away when Rin threw the star.

Yugo: Star? Rin doesn't use throwing stars.

Shiro: (looks down) I gave him one...I didn't think he'd use it like this though. I never want any weapon used like that anymore.

Yugo: (grabbing her arms) WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM A STAR!?

Shiro: Because he asked for one to use for a report in a class. They were studying the anatomy and basics of every weapon that is located in the Garden.

Yugo let her go and hugged her, closing his eyes tightly.

Yugo: He's my brother Shiro...my only brother. I couldn't help him...

Shiro: Oh no, don't you going doing that now! You listen to me...Yugo, look at me (puts her hands to his face). Listen, you won't always be able to. He's a big guy. Okay?

Yugo just hugged her tighter as she shushed him softly.
