Open My Eyes
Chapter 27
Raindrops
Amaya fell to the ground with a hard smack. Oddly, she felt no pain, and yet she saw blood......
She gasped as she saw the source of the red fluid.
"REI!" She yelled, running over to her friend. She was sprawled out on the floor in an odd angle, in a pool of her own blood, her eyes were open and unfocused as she weakly lifted her head and smiled.
"Hi Amaya." She said, coughing, red liquid running down her chin. "Glad your ok........" Her eyes closed as she lowered her head. Amaya could almost feel the life draining out of her friend's body until there was nothing left.
She looked down at her hands which were covered in Rei's blood, then her eyes raised to lock onto her attackers.
"Looks like she died saving you from the shot." Came the males voice. But Amaya didn't hear it. She knew two things - Rei was dead, and whoever had killed her was going to die a slow painful death in return.
"I don't know who the fuck you are." She said coldly, trying to peer under his hood, but it was hard seeing as tears were streaming down her face, although she didn't notice them. "But your going to die. Why don't you take down that hood and reveal who you are instead of hiding like a coward."
"It seems I can fulfill your final wish." And she saw the mouth - the only thing she could see of the face- form into a smirk as his hand raised to throw back the hood as lightening cracked and rain poured from the sky.
"Who are you?" She demanded, pulling out her gun and aiming it for her heart. He would have been handsome, but for the air of a murderer he held around him. Thick brown hair and green eyes that flashed oddly in the thunder.
"You don't need to know my name." He said coldly, drawing out a dagger. "You'll be dead."
Time seemed to freeze as she saw him come closer to her, the blade glinting in the rain. She demanded her finger to pull the trigger, to kill him, but it wouldn't move.
The blade pierced her skin, she felt it slash her shoulder, and yet, she felt detached, as if she was watching the blade pierce someone else and yet to dimly feel their pain. Her hand flew to the wound, the blood mixed with rain running down her arms and hand.
He was coming back for her, a maniac glint in his eyes. and knew then, kill or be killed. Without thinking, she held out the trigger and pulled.
The sound exploded, and the man fell not far from Rei's body. She kneeled to the ground and looked down at the blood and ran river that was soaking her knees and legs. She put her ands in it, looking at the blood she had split.
She was a killer.
A killer.
Hugging herself she looked at the two bodies, fresh tears mixing with rain, falling to join the blood.
She stayed there for a long time.
"Have you seen Amaya?" Yami asked, walking into the room where Maiyu was sitting quietly on the couch.
"No. Demi said she and Rei went for a walk, but that was about and hour and a half ago." At this Yami's eye furrowed in thought.
"Do you think anything might have happened to them?"
"I don't know." She replied.
"Thanks." Yami said, walking out of the room. He was going to look for her and Rei, they should get some sleep after all.
Pulling on his coat he stepped into the rain.
Maiyu sat, enjoying the silence, and the feeling of return. She was back among people she knew now, she could put Ryou behind her. Sighing she hung her head.
Why had he saved her from being raped by a second man? Why did he care what happened to her? Why did he give a damn if she hurt?
"Maiyu?" She spun around to face a white haired, browned eyed teen.
"Ba-Bakura." She whispered standing up to look at her friend.
"I hope your ok...." She turned away, not wanting to look at the brother of Ryou. He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, which she pushed away.
"Bakura don't....."
"Why, what happened? What's wrong?" She turned to face him before turning away. She couldn't look at him. He looked too much, too much like him.
"Please, just go."
"Not until you tell what's wrong....." Then it dawned on him as he saw the tears forming in her eyes. "Ryou." He spat. "Tell me what he did to you!"
"I- I can't." She whispered clutching her fist over her heart and turning away, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Why? Maiyu, you have to tell me!"
"No!" She cried, turning her back to him. "Please don't ask me this." She said in barely more then a whisper.
"Why?"
'Because I don't want to incriminate him................' She thought. 'Because............for some reason, I care about him...........' Lost in her thoughts as tears fell onto the carpet, she didn't notice Bakura leave the room, slamming the door behind him.
The streets were full of rain, and Yami pulled his coat closer to him.
'Where on Earth could she be?' He thought. 'Wait, what's that noise?' It was very faint, but he could have sworn he heard someone crying...... from down the alley. He turned down it.
Faintly, he could see the outline of someone kneeling, with two something's lying by them. Getting a little closer, the scene became clear to him.
"Good Lord." He whispered as he saw the bodies lying around her. One was Rei's, the other's he didn't know, but his main concern was Amaya.
Her eyes were unfocused and still shedding nearly silent tears, her black clothes looked to be stained with blood, not to mention her hands still held a hint of it.
"Amaya?" He asked softly, but she remained silent, seeming not to hear him.
'Shock.' He thought to himself. 'She's gone into shock.' Gently he lifted her arms and got her to stand.
"Come one Amaya, let's get you home." He whispered, the two slowly making their way home.
The two entered Yami's room, slowly sitting her on the bed he tried once again to talk to her.
"Amaya, please, what happened back there." Slowly she shook her head, tears falling down her cheeks. "Amaya?"
"I killed him." She whispered, looking down at the blood on her clothing. "He came up behind us, killed Rei, I got so angry, I didn't think I just......" She turned and buried her head in his chest, holding onto him for dear life.
"Shush." He cooed. "It's ok, you had no choice, he would have killed you if you hadn't done something." His eyes landed on the gash on her shoulder, the opposite shoulder which was still injured thanks to Lakoa.
"Still." She whispered. "I didn't have to kill him, I could have shot him in the shoulder or something........" She took a breath. "Yami....... I'm a murderer."
He rocked her slowly, rubbing her back, trying to clam her down. He pushed back her sopping wet hair and delivered a chaste kiss to her forehead.
Slowly her sobs died away and she relaxed in his grip, pulling back to look into his lavender eyes, then down her bloody clothes.
"I have to get these off me." She whispered, standing. He nodded and left he room as she pulled off her clothes, changing into a black silk tank top and a pair of loose silk pants. "You can come back now." She said softy as she laid on the bed.
He returned and laid beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She turned to face him, snuggling into his chest.
"Never let me go." She whispered and closed her eyes as he gave her a kiss.
