Vincents P.O.V

"But when she saw Kit, I think she knew.. In fact.. I think she knew too much.."

Blood. It was everywhere.

The bed where she lay was covered in spots of blood, some fresh, some fully dried.

"How long has she been like this for?" I asked, rage clouding my mind.

"I.. I don't know. An hour, maybe two? Is she.." Rae sobbed quietly, looking up once in a while to check the expressions on my face. Maybe she could read me better than I had thought.

I ran over to feel for a pulse and at first, I felt nothing. Just cold, harsh death. But that wasn't good enough for me, death was never easy for me to accept. I tried once again, pressing harder on her throat this time and my only wish was granted, I felt a weak pulse. Almost too weak, she was losing herself.. But any pulse is good enought damn it. Hold on, Kit.

"She's alive, but we can't waste any time or we'll be too late. And I don't know about you but I'm not willing to let her die this easily, suicide is never the answer."

I grabbed Kit as if she weighed nothing at all, and dashed down the hallway with Rae a close distance behind. As if it had only been a second or two, I reached the cold and unfriendly infirmary doors and opened them with no care. Dr.Kadowaki, a little startled by the sudden burst through her door almost lost her temper but upon seeing Kit, I think she knew.

In fact.. I think she knew too much.

"Why do you look so fucking calm about it! SHE COULD DIE!" I screamed out at Dr.Kadowaki, took a breath and continued on with my rampage. "What do you know? How often.." I fell into a nearby chair and put my head in my hands, feeling as though all my strength had been drained out of me. I don't really know Kit.. But There's something about her and I won't let her died until I know what it is.

"..How often does this happen?"

Dr.Kadowaki left the pale, lifeless hospital room and a took a seat next to me. "Listen Vince, she's had a lot of problems throughout her life. Her mom.. died, more or less when she was 9. Kit was left with her father, and he was always too busy for her. You know, running the garden, it takes a lot. I love Squall but he could be so cold. Especially after Rinoa died, I guess he died with her in a sense. It never struck him that taking care of his daughter was Rinoa's only wish.." She took a brief moment to wipe a single tear and take a deep breath.

"And not only that, either. Kit.. was bullied a lot as a child. I would call it jealousy, her father and mother were so famous, and she has always been so beautiful. I'm sure you've noticed. So the kids, they made her life hell. Until it got even worse one day.." Dr.Kadowaki looked down,

"This guy he.. started to touch her. She didn't know what to do. Since then, she hasn't allowed anyone to come close to her, and definitley not touch her. After that incident, Kit attempted suicide. We got to her just in time, she was on the verge of death. We were.. lucky. Afterward all of the trouble we went through to save her, Kit has been mutilating herself and on occasion, teasing death. I only fear that one day we won't be able to get to her on time. That's what the handcuffs were on for, so that.. So that she couldn't hurt herself. To throw a life away, no matter how bad it gets.. Ugh, I don't understand it."

I stood up on shaky legs and gave the doctor a little pat on the back, then walked calmly over to Kit's room.

The mission is tomorrow, you know that, Kit?

I thought to myself and sat next to her bed. The place reaked of death and metal, a smell I knew all too well. Various tubes were hooked up to her small form, forcing her to remain living on even though death was the only thing she seemed to wish for. I got up and gave her a kiss on the forehead, brushed her silky hair back and walked back out of the room.

"Thanks for telling me. I appreciate it. Take good care of her, I'll be back in 30, alright? I'll help look after her." Dr.Kadowaki nodded slightly and watched me as I left the infirmary. I saw Rae sitting on the bench outside, looking incredibly ill. Taking a seat next to her, I told her all that Dr.Kadowaki had told me and made her promise not to tell anyone.

Rae burst into tears and I pulled her close, letting her soak my shirt with warm tears. I have to admit, crying would have felt real nice.

Kit, I promise I'll make it go away.
