Chapter 2
As time passed, so did my thoughts. I looked out the window and saw the scenery come and go. It kinda reminds me of the ocean's currents. Remember? When I decided to surprise you to a trip to the beach? You always told me you wanted to see the ocean. You were so happy to see the ocean. Your eyes glistened as the sunlight showered your face. Your big smile was so beautiful. I was incredibly happy to see your smile. That is a great memory I will keep with me forever.
I felt something wrong. My hunch was that there is going to be trouble in this tournament. I might not be able to see you anytime soon. Suddenly, I felt as if the air was burning. The heat started to rise in the cart. My breathing had become heavier, Benimaru was right next to me, being his goofy old self. He seemed normal, as if nothing was going on. My breath still getting more and more difficult to grasp. The heat started to get overwhelming.
"Benimaru! It's getting really hot in here," I said to him as I kept breathing heavily.
"Kyo! What's the matter with you?! You're turning all red!" Benimaru replied back. His eyes seemed to hold a certain fear as he looked on to me. What was happening to me? Why was Benimaru looking at me with fear? Why was it getting more difficult to breathe? I felt as if my blood was boiling. It started to hurt. The pain grew as time progressed. Why? Why do I hurt so much?
At that same moment, my flames erupted from my entire body. It was madness, for I could not control them. Every inch of my body burned. Benimaru was screaming as he was blown away by my sudden explosion of flames.
"Benimaru! I'm sorry! I can't control it!" I screamed at his burning flesh as my flames kept roaring in a fury.
"What?! I thought you knew how to control your flames!" Benimaru flared back. At that moment I remembered what happened with NEST. My kidnapping, the draining of my power for the creation of K' and the Kyo clones.
"Damn it! I did know how to control it! Freakin' NEST messed around with me too damn much! They must have messed way too much with my flames!" After I said those words my flames grew in intensity and started burning the seats and the floor. There was no ending of my flames in sight. I thought of one thing to do: jump out of the train before my flames could cause an explosion. I used every ounce of my will to get enough fire in my hand.
"ARRRGH!!! SERPENT SLASH!" I slashed out on the wall to break an opening. I jumped out of the train leaving my bag and everything that wasn't on my person at the time. My body looked like a fireball flying out of the train as I jumped and rolled on the field. My body still burning I tried to get up, but my body had gone through too much stress for it to stand up. Everything started to slow down and darken. My body hurt so much. With the last of my breath, I wanted to scream to scream for help. The word that actually came out of my mouth was the same that came out of my heart: "Yuki!"
Darkness overwhelmed me. It had left me blind, yet I could still hear. Was I concious? Am I going to die to my flames? I asked myself these questions before I lost complete conciousness.
What was it? The sight of darkness. The sound of silence. Nothing was there to see. Nothing made sound for me to hear. Where am I? Suddenly, I saw a small light grow from the darkness. "What is it?" I would ask myself as the light came closer. The light grew as it got closer to me, but as it got closer I notice a figure. Was it a person? I started to walk towards that figure, but my body did not move. It just came up to me and I saw it clearly. It was you! It was you, Yuki! I tried to grab your hand so I can hold you, but you moved back. You started to walk away from me with a smile on your face.
"Yuki! Yuki, don't leave me!" I screamed at you as you walked away. I tried to run towards you, but I didn't move foward. You just smiled and waved goodbye. I reached for you with my right hand, my eyes tearing, and I cried out to you: "YUKI!!!"
