But if you must yell at me, yell at me or chat with me on MSN and AIM/AOL! ^^ Online everyday, cause I've got nothing else better to do! Oh, and I think my writing's improved... o_O Is it possible?! ... So read for yourself... oh, and I don't except you to forgive me, but I was close to removing this fic.

Putting his hand on Mariah's pale hand, he stared at the body in front of him. Was this the same gentle, warming soul that had brought him so much happiness before? Because now, her lively skin had turned pale and as white as a ghost, Rei even thought that her hair had paled into a light pink. He couldn't stand to see his girlfriend like this. His anger was rising every second Mariah was just lying there, no life shining on her skin.
Suddenly, Rei smashed his hand down and ran out the hospital door. He grabbed the doctor by the collar of his coat and stuck him to the wall while everyone rushed over.
"TELL ME! WHEN IS SHE GOING TO WAKE?!" The fiesty boy growled angrily as Tyson rushed over to stop him.
"REI! CALM DOWN! IT'S NOT GOING TO BRING MARIAH BACK..." Tyson was shocked about what he had just said. "Rei... she's not going to make it... Kenny says her skin is white and cold already... she's gone."
Rei fell to the ground, not uttering a word, but Tyson could hear his hiccups and tiny sobs. "No... Tys-Tyson... Y-You're wrong! She... Mariah... she's still here!!!"
The hat/cap wearing boy sat down next to his friend. "Rei... I knew it was going to take a while for you to accept it... but she's gone." And he touched his friend's shoulder. "I'm sorry."
Rei slapped Tyson's hand away. "No! You're wrong!" He turned to Tyson with fresh tears still forming in his eyes. He pushed Tyson aside and tried to stand, but the pressure was too much, he fell to his knees yet again in dispare. "Tyson... I- I don't know what I'm going to do."
"I'm sorry... But she is gone." The doctor, who had escaped Rei's wrath, came back from Mariah's room, keeping a distance from Rei, afraid he might 'strike' again.
Rei shook his head, and stood up with his love for Mariah. "No..." He said softly, almost kind. "She's not. I believe she's not."
The White Tigers, Bladebreakers[excluding Rei], and the doctor looked at each other. "We'll give your friend some time... but tomorrow, we're gonna have to burn her.
* * *
"Oh Mariah... wake up. I know this is just a big act... please wake up and stop them from burning your beauty. I love you, Mariah." Rei leaned down and kissed her hand. Tears started forming in Rei's eyes' he was starting to believe what everyone was telling him. But he couldn't, because somewhere deep down, Mariah was alive. Still alive as she's always been, but no one knows it except for Rei.
Mariah's Mind
"Ugh... no... I can't hold on much longer!" The pink haired girl was hanging from a cliff, her hair dangled as her face was covered with dust. Tears were streaming down her eyes. She'd never got to say good bye to Rei. She wanted to be with Rei. She knew the truth now, she wanted to be alive, she needed to be alive. Rei needed her and she needed Rei.
Mariah's bleeding hand was starting to give in. "PLEASE! GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE!!!" Suddenly, her tears started to run upwards as she noticed that she was now falling. "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Her eyes squished shut as she felt herself dying, the remaining life being sucked out of her. But then, a giant bubble formed around her until she was in the bubble.
"What?" Mariah's own voice echoed through the bubble. The bubble carried her through a place where colours were swarming around, like something from the 60's. Then the bubble popped and she fell.
"EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! NOT AGAIN!!!"
Opening her eyes she saw a women dressed in white in front of her. Even her hair was bleached and her eyes grey as smoke. "Hello young one."
"Who are you?" Mariah looked around, there was a grey sky and below her was a deserted ground that felt that sand.
"Why, I am the one who makes sure if you're going to die or live... mostly to people in coma's." Her voice was a sharp and strict one. She looked at Mariah for a moment and then said, "Well... you're the one who didn't know what to decide! I had to do it for you, but you did say you still wanted to live. I'm not nice nor will I do favours, but a young soul like you should live. But you must go through a journey's mind, and face things you'd never imagine. And you must do it on your own. No one will help you, and don't think I will." She nodded. "Now get going!"
Before Mariah could reply, a flash of light set her in a hospital room with Rei looking down on her. A voice echoed in her mind. "You will have little time to warn your boyfriend that you're not dead, but hurry up."
"MARIAH!" Mariah blinked and her eyes cleared. Rei was standing in front of her, tears in his eyes. he grasped her hand and realized it was still cold. "Mariah?"
"Rei... I don't have much time, I won't let go! I promise Rei! I have to do something on my own! But I will be back!" Hugging Rei, Mariah kissed his soft lips again. "I won't let go..."
And she fell back onto the bed, stiff as before.
I won't let go...
