Tearful Goodbye

The hard, unforgiving pounding of rain echoed through her ears like the screams of war. Her grief was beyond tears. Kira sat, her hands trembling, holding Rei's almost lifeless body quietly. Sniffles escaped her.

"Oh Kira," Rei moaned, his hoarse, dying voice sounding almost angelic through Kira's ears. "I said... I said once before that I wouldn't have cared if I died tomorrow."

"No, Rei! Don't say that! Paramedics, they're coming, you'll be ok..." Kira screamed, hugging Rei's battered body.

"Let me finish, Kira." He breathed, with some difficulty. "I said I wouldn't care if I died tomorrow. But you know what? I had a reason to live, and it was you." He reached up, stroking her face. "I'm sorry that I got on the motorbike this evening and went speeding off into the rain... I'm so sorry..."

Tatsuya watched, eyes filling with tears. Harumi clenched his coat, her face stained with tears also. All they could do now was wait for the paramedics.

"Oh, Tatsuya! Why is Rei so stupid?!" Harumi yelled. "Why?..."

Soon, the sound of sirens broke the horrifying noise of rain. The ambulance pulled up, lifting Rei onto the stretcher. The red lights blinded the three friends who were to be left behind.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but you can not come with him."

"But-"

"No!"

And with that, the ambulance drove away. Kira, Tatsuya, and Harumi stood, drenched in rain water, only to wait.

AN- Not much of a fic. Tongari does not like. Will continue if there is demand.
