I have been super excited about writing this chapter of Irony. I have been waiting a long time and I'm warning you right now that it's heavily Suno based and long. It was going to be so long, that I had to cut some stuff out and I'm gonna have to put it on the next chapter. Before I get on with it, I have some questions to answer.

Q: Is Suno going to learn about his previous life?

A: Eventually, he will. He's already wondered about who Sesshoumaru is and is planning on eventually asking about it. It will happen, I promise!

Q: Is Sesshoumaru going to find about his reincarnation?

A: Now that would be cool and all, but I don't know if it serves any real purpose. Yes it would be nice if Sesshoumaru went "Me as a mortal? Disgusting." That would be cool and all, but I don't see a point, but I'm not saying that I am or I'm not. If you all want to see Sesshoumaru's reaction to being a mortal, then you should read "The Other Side of The Story." That has those emotions in there, so go ahead and check it out.

Chapter 45

I do not own Inuyasha

It is said before someone dies their life flashes before their eyes...

"I would like you all to meet my heir, Suno Kazasami." Iryoku Kazasami was very proud to hold his son before all of his board members. Suno wasn't that old. He was in the process of learning how to walk, so he held on to his father as tightly as he could while all of the strange men stared at him. "Don't be afraid" Iryoku told his young son. "All will be alright. No one is going to hurt you."

Suno had a little black hat on that covered the hair that he did have. He was also wearing plain black baby pajamas with a little white zipper. He was a fat baby, but in a cute way. He didn't understand his father, but young Suno Kazasami stared back at them and rested his head on his father's muscular chest. "Ahhwah!" He started waving his hands in excitement. He wasn't afraid anymore.

All of the other men began laughing whole heartedly at the young boy.

"Now that you've met my young son, let's get down to business shall we." Iryoku sat his young son down on the floor and gave his son a stuffed animal to chew on or whatever kids did. "I hope you all don't mind. It's very improper to bring my son here, but I thought it was only fair to introduce you all to him and he will be with me for the remainder of the day." It was all very improper, but no one was going to oppose to Iryoku. He was the head of the company. "Now we are here today to discuss our new line of vehicles."

Iryoku walked over to a chart that he had set up, and Suno watched his father from afar and wanted to be held by him again. "Daaa!"

"See" Iryoku began to make a quick joke "he is already trying to take my position." They all laughed again. "Now as I was saying..." he continued on speaking, but little Suno wanted his father. Since he learned that speaking wouldn't get him what he wanted, he grabbed on to an empty chair and used it for support. Some of the men tried to ignore the baby, but they found his presence a bit annoying since he was a baby in a meeting. Iryoku was a usually professional person, but he did what he wanted a lot, since no one would challenge him.

Little Suno had a hard time standing up, but he eventually was able to. Once he stood though, there was a problem. He hadn't walked before. He had taken a step and fallen on his feet. Still though, he tried. One step and everything was alright. With the second step, he let go of his support and wobbled quite a bit. Right before he lost his balance though, he smiled and took another step, and then another, and then another. "Daaadaaa!"

Iryoku took his attention off of his presentation and was very surprised to see his young son stepping again and again. Suno kept walking until he got to his father's leg and he grabbed on for dear life. His legs lost support though, and he fell on top of his father's foot. "Suno?"

"Daaaa!"

He picked up his little son with pride in his eyes and held him before his employees. "Gentlemen, just so you know those were his first steps." Suno received applause from the board members and he himself didn't understand what was going on. He just clapped himself until he felt tired and held on to his father for comfort.

"This is all gonna be mine someday?"

"It sure is Suno. Everything in this building will one day be all yours."

Suno was a little boy. He was four years old at the time, walking with his mother's hand holding firmly onto his. His mother had very fair skin and dark brown eyes. Her hair was long and beautiful, but that day she had it up in a bun. Suno also was dressed in a kimono. His was white with a few designs on it. "And after we leave, we can go to the festival?"

"Yes dear." Her voice was just so pure and heart warming and she loved her son more than anything. "This whole company, these people, the resources, the buildings, the cars, the responsibilities will all be yours."

"Father is going to give it all to me?"

"Yes Suno."

As Suno looked around at his father's building, he saw it more like a kingdom rather than a job or a duty. It was amazing to him. "And one day, it'll all be mine..."

"Don't leave mother!" Suno grabbed a hold of his mother's hand while she was at the front door. "Why are you going?"

She didn't want to look him in the eye, but she did, and when she did that, she collapsed and fell to her knees and she gave her son the biggest hug she possibly could. "Oh Suno! I'm going to miss you!"

Her five year old son didn't want to let go. He didn't understand anything. He didn't get why she was leaving at all. His father tried to explain what divorce was, but when Suno asked why they were divorcing; his father didn't really have one to give. "Mother, why are you leaving?"

"I..." she hugged her son tighter. "I love you and your father so much, but I have to do this, Suno. I just want you to know that it's not yours or your father's fault about this. This is just something that I have to do." She let him go and kissed him on his forehead. "You be a good boy for your daddy, okay?"

Suno nodded, but he still didn't understand why she was leaving. "Bye mother..."

"Goodbye Suno." She stood back up and saw her soon to be ex-husband standing in front of her. "This isn't your fault, so don't think that this divorce is."

"I don't understand" he admitted. "It's not my fault, and you've done nothing wrong. I thought we were-"

"Happy?" She managed to smile. "You were the only man I ever loved and it'll be that way until the day I die. I love you, and I'll always love you. I thank you for letting me go without a fight."

"There's no reason to. Just stay here...with me."

They were both were heart broken now. She was leaving and wouldn't give a reason to why other than she just needed one. He hated it, but he let her go. He tried to work it out, but because she said nothing, he didn't know what to fix. He felt so empty, and so did she. They gave each other one final kiss, a final kiss goodbye. Their kiss told each other that they loved each other, and it only made him more confused. Still, he let her go.

"Goodbye, Iryoku."

"Goodbye."

"Mother?" Suno slowly walked into his mother's hospital room. He hadn't been to a hospital really, but it disturbed him. He could feel that something wasn't right as far as his mother's health. He could just tell that she was fading...

"Hi baby..." She reached her pale and fragile hand out to touch his soft and lively cheeks.

"Are you going to be okay?"

She tried her best not to cry, but some tears managed to slip out of her eyes. She was so afraid and it was all slipping away. She was mostly ashamed that he had to see her in such pain. "I didn't want you to see me like this, Suno."

"Father and I wanted to see you" he assured her.

"I've missed you..." Iryoku then took his place inside of the room and closed the door behind him. He had such worry in his eyes for her. "Why didn't you tell me?"

She only began to cry harder. She felt so horrible for letting him see her in so much pain, and for causing him so much agony. "I am very sorry. I just didn't want you to spend all of your time, your money, and your resources on me. I didn't want you to watch me suffer. I love you and I wanted to spare you the pain of watching me get sick and die."

"You fool..." he told her quietly. "I wouldn't have cared. We married each other, and we were supposed to help each other and hold each other up. I would have done everything for you gladly, because I vowed to do it. Nothing else matters but you..."

"I know you love me, and I love you, but I just wanted..." her lips were quivering as she wiped her tears away. "I just wanted to spare you. You've always had it rough and you've had to work so hard, and I didn't want to ruin anything. I just..."

"It wouldn't have mattered. Spending time together is all that matters...especially now..." he sat in an empty seat next to her and held her hand, her cold and fragile hand. "I want to be with you, until it all ends..."

"But..." Suno understood it all. He understood everything now. 'But I don't want her to leave...'

"I don't want to meet her" Suno told his father, stepping out of a taxi cab in front of a restaurant.

"Suno, don't be like that. I told you why I wanted you to meet her."

"She's not going to be better than my mother, so why should you even attempt?"

"I'm not trying to replace your mother" his father warned sternly, very upset with his young son. He couldn't believe Suno's behavior as of lately. "I have explained this to you many times before. Your mother died when you were young and it's only been a couple of years, so I know it's hard. It's been hard for me too, and I didn't mean to find someone. It just happened, so don't spoil it Suno. She's a nice woman."

"She's a foreigner."

"That's enough, Suno. That shouldn't matter."

Suno didn't say anything after that. He didn't want to upset his father more than what he already had with his tongue.

"Well then, let's go see her."

They both walked into the restaurant and Suno spotted a very pretty African American in a dark green dress and a blue jean jacket, looking very uncomfortable. Her hair was curled, her eyes were brown, and her skin was a warm brown color, not very dark at all. Suno was searching for any physical features that he could hold against her, but she was so beautiful. He still searched constantly though, for anything that could make his father leave her.

"Iryoku!" she called out. She smiled and stood up and waited for him to come. "I've missed you." He came to her and she hugged him, not wanting to kiss him in front of his young son. "I'm glad you're back."

"This is my son, Suno." Iryoku placed his hand on top of Suno's head, and Suno usually didn't mind when his father did that, but he was irritated that day. "Say hello."

"Konnichiwa" he replied coldly.

"He can't speak English?" she questioned, a little fearfully. It would make things very difficult if he couldn't.

"Suno, behave yourself. She can't speak a lot of Japanese."

Suno grumbled. "Hello."

"You're so adorable. I didn't imagine that you'd be this handsome."

"Please do not treat me like a child" Suno insisted strongly to the point where it was more like a threat.

"Suno, that's enough." Iryoku's phone at that moment began to ring. "I have to take this. I'll be outside and back in just a few moments." He kissed her on her cheek and answered his phone.

Suno and Isabelle didn't like that he was leaving. Isabelle could tell that this was going to be very strange. "Well..." she smiled "why don't we sit down?" The both of them sat down at their table by the window. Suno tried to stare outside, but Isabelle didn't want to be ignored. "My name is Isabelle. You're nine, aren't you Suno?"

"That sounds like a statement rather than a question. Do you know, or are you asking? I'm sure my father has told you. Do you not listen to him at all?"

His bad English was hard to make out, and she began to wish that she couldn't understand at all. "I was just trying to make conversation..." She knew this was going to be tough! "Suno...I really care about your father and I know it'll be hard to adjust to each other, but I'm hoping that maybe we can all just get along and maybe-"

"What? Have a family?" he questioned. "You want to be my mother? I don't need you to be my mother. My mother's dead and I don't need anyone else but my father now. I don't need some woman from another country to take care of me. I'm doing fine all on my own."

"I'm not trying to compete with your mother or replace her. I heard what happened and I'm sorry, but don't make assumptions. I'm just trying to-"

It took him a while to respond, because he wasn't really sure what she had said completely in English, but once he figured out enough, he kept on. "I'm glad that you're not trying to replace her. It would be a waste of time. You can't even compare to her."

She wasn't sure what to say or do. She was shocked that he'd say such a thing, and he talked with such arrogance that it seemed like he wasn't just trying to be rude, but he truly believed that she was nothing and he was so superior. She hated dealing with bad children, and on most occasions, didn't like them much. She had half a mind to run her hand across his, but she wasn't going to hit a child that she met in two seconds, especially if she wasn't sure how Iryoku would react. She stayed calm and kept a clear head for as long as she could. "You're not being fair. You don't even know me."

"I don't want to."

"Don't treat me like the evil step mother who just wants your father and to get you out of the way, because that's not true. I want to get to know you and if your father and I decided to get married, which I very much would like to do, then we'll be a family. I know I can never replace your mother, and I'm not going to try, but I would like to be apart of your life somehow."

He was still cold to her, especially since he knew that his father had already mentioned the possibility of marriage. "Are you marrying him for money?"

"Of course not! I love your father, and I didn't even know he was rich when I met him."

"I know the story, so don't go over it again. It already disgusts me." He noticed her mouth drop and her eyes widen. She couldn't believe it, but he still went on. "If you really didn't know that he was Iryoku Kazasami, then you're an ignorant and ill-informed woman, and I don't need you then."

"You're out of line" she seethed.

Suno slightly shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care if he was striking a nerve. He already decided to hate her. He had even practiced his English so he could make her angry.

Thankfully, Iryoku joined them once again at the table, but once he saw how awkward they were, he just knew something bad happened. He could figure it out by the frustration on Isabelle's face and the smug look on Suno's. "Come here, my son." Iryoku took his son into the bathroom and it was thankfully empty. "What did you say to her?"

"Nothing inappropriate."

"In whose eyes? She's already uncomfortable enough, so don't make this harder than what it is."

"Why do you want to be with a woman like that anyway? It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense! She'll never belong."

"She will if you let her."

"No she won't. She's too different."

"I doubt you care about her skin color, her cultural background, or even the fact that she's foreign. If I was with a Japanese woman, it still would bother you. You hate the fact that I'm with anyone, and I understand that it will be a difficult adjustment, but you are going to respect her and treat her like a human being."

"She can never be my mother, and I don't care what legal document the two of you sign..." Suno never really questioned his father's authority before, but nothing made any sense anymore.

"Suno..." Suno thought for sure that his father was going to strike him, but surprisingly, his father's hand gently landed on his head and rested there for a moment. "Listen to me Suno, it's not easy, and I can't imagine what you must feel, but there comes a time in someone's life when they can find someone worth spending the rest of their life with, someone you'll want to love, protect, and I am grateful that this feeling occurred twice."

'Love and protect?' "But..." he shook his head. "I don't understand."

"Perhaps one day, you will, but for now, I am going to do what I need to, for my sake as well as hers. Everything will work out for the best Suno."

Suno didn't understand how his father could take such a risk for a woman like that, but he didn't say anything, and tried to be as polite as possible to his future step mother, but in order for that to be so, he barely spoke a word.

"He looks nothing like you..." Suno pointed out to Isabelle as he looked at his new baby brother. "He resembles father."

"I know, but boys tend to favor their fathers" she gently kissed her young son's gentle head. "I don't mind at all. I think your father is very handsome." She smiled and attempted to get Suno to smile, but he really wouldn't.

"I've been in this country for nearly a year, and I want to go back home" he complained. "When can we go back?" he asked his father, who was busy watching his new son.

"Ikuto..." he spoke softly. "That shall be the infant's name. We'll call him Ikuto."

"Ikuto Kazasami?" Isabelle kissed her son again. "I think it's a fine name."

Suno watched his little brother, who had slept for most of his existence. He was almost a day old, but Suno hadn't seen him when he was crying. Now he was sleeping peacefully. "Ikuto?" Suno questioned. Suno was still trying not to love anything that involved his step mother, but it was hard hating something that was just born. "Ikuto..."

"Ikuto!" Suno had decided to take a bath to relax himself. He was 13 now and had many responsibilities. He just wanted some time alone to think, so he went into his bathroom and started bathing in his very large tub. Unbeknownst to Suno, Ikuto was supposed to be getting dressed, when he ran from his mother two doors down and straight into Suno's room. He heard someone in the bathroom, so he opened the door, and there Suno was, in the tub. Ikuto loved baths and jumped right in, before Suno could yell at him.

"Bawder!" Ikuto had to hold onto Suno tightly so he wouldn't drown. The water was deep for the little boy.

"What are you doing?" Suno hadn't been treating his brother as nice as he should have. He continuously kept ignoring him, but still, Ikuto loved his brother and liked to spend time with him when he could. Still, Suno wanted to keep him away. "You can't be in here. You have to leave."

Ikuto reached up and touched Suno's nose happily, for no apparent reason at all. "You foolish little baby. Did you hear me?" He was so frustrated. "It's a real shame when I have to lock my own bathroom door. Your mother should keep you on a leash."

"Bi bawder!" Ikuto spoke with such innocence and with such sweetness. His eyes were big, bright, and beautiful, and in his eyes, Suno could see the happiness that he once had when he was small. For a moment, it made Suno happy, and he hadn't felt that way in a long time.

"I was just getting out anyway." He held his baby brother, and for the first time in three years, he smiled at him. "I'll dry you off. Your mother is probably wondering where you went off to."

"Father?" Suno opened his eyes, but he could barely keep them opened. He felt so helpless and weak, and it angered him.

"What happened Ikuto?" Iryoku asked.

Ikuto had witnessed the whole thing. He was outside with his brother and saw that instead of riding his usual horse, he tried to ride his father's very large and wild stallion, thinking that he could handle it, when only Iryoku could. "He tried to ride your horse dad, but it went crazy and knocked him down!"

Iryoku had to carry his son, even though he was 14. Suno was fazing in and out of consciousness. He had a pretty hard blow to his head and he was bleeding now. He carried Suno into the house and into their medical room they had prepared just in case situations such as this popped up. "Ikuto, tell your mother to call the doctor and summon Moneko. He has some medical skills."

"Yes daddy." Ikuto ran to do what his father instructed him to do while Iryoku placed Suno on the bed.

"Suno?" Iryoku placed his hand on top of Suno's head and rubbed it with his thumb gently. Suno opened his eyes slowly and struggled to keep them open.

"Father..."

"Why would you do something so foolish?"

"You can ride it…I should be able to as well." His pride was a little torn. He didn't mean to be so helpless. He thought he could handle it, and he desperately wanted to.

"You try too hard to grow up. That was my horse, and you knew that you couldn't tame it yet."

"If you can do it-"

"Don't be so stubborn Suno. You'll be able to ride it someday, but when you're ready. You won't be a boy forever. You'll grow older and stronger. For now, just try to take it easy."

He didn't want to though. He didn't want to be refereed to as a child and wanted everyone to see him as an adult, and he wanted to be like his father, and even more if possible, but for that moment, he was nothing. 'I'll tame it someday…'

"I'm going with you!" Suno was about to charge into his burning house along side of his father, but his father pushed him back.

"I said stay here."

"You insist on going alone? You'll never make it out alive."

"Do you intend to stop me?"

"Let me help."

"Help me by staying here, and that's an order!"

So Suno reluctantly stayed outside while he watched his father leave all alone. He couldn't believe that his father wanted to go in alone. He was most likely going to die now, but Suno told himself that his father was stronger than that. He impatiently watched the flames devour his house and the chaotic smoke begin to fill the sky. It seemed like forever to him, but wasn't in reality the eternity that Suno thought it was. "Father!"

He had Ikuto unconscious in his arms, while he himself was coughing and gagging, and bleeding on the left side of his torso, and there was a lot of blood. Still, he pretended like nothing was wrong and handed the sleeping boy to Suno. "Stay here with your brother."

Suno couldn't believe it! "Stay with my brother?" he asked. "You're going back inside? You won't make it back. You'll be killed."

"I can't afford to lose her."

"She's going to die anyway. Don't die as well, father. Don't-"

His father wouldn't listen to the warnings though and he interrupted Suno again. "Stay with your brother, and protect him."

"Protect?" Suno knew by his father's voice, that he was going to die, just how he knew his mother was going to die. It was a request from his father, because he could not protect the small child, because he was about to die. He was going to put it all on the line for her, the woman he loved, and that was good enough. It wasn't good enough for Suno, but he stayed with his brother and watched in and out of a state of panic as the flames grew. Once a few minutes went by, he began to feel guilty. He knew that his father was gone, and within a few more minutes, he began to feel angry. He was angry at Isabelle, and even a little bit at Ikuto. His father, his idol, the man who he just wanted to grow up to be like was now gone.

There was an awful pain inside of him, but mostly confusion. 'Why leave to save her, when it was futile? Now the both of you are...'

"What do you mean he's dying?" Suno asked his doctor, Dr. Tokishima.

"I'm sorry but he's...we can't do much for him. I'm surprised he's still breathing now."

Suno had kept his feelings for his brother always hidden deep inside, but he still cared. He had lost his father and now for his brother to die as well? He was going to be completely and utterly alone in the world? His little brother who hadn't even reached a decade was dying? "No, you've got to work on him. This is the best hospital in all of Japan. You've got to do something. I'm not excepting that fate for him, so don't you dare tell me that I'm wrong. Just do something, anything. Just help him."

Suno wouldn't take no for an answer. His little brother couldn't go. He didn't...want to be alone.

"I'll do my best, Mr. Kazasami."

"Stop crying!" Suno finally yelled at his brother. It had been a week since the funeral. Ikuto had only seen his mother's necklace and began to cry. Suno had told him numerous amounts of times not to cry, and now he had it. "They're dead, Ikuto. They're gone and they're not coming back. You've got to get over it sooner or later."

Ikuto was crying so hard he was having trouble breathing. He wiped his tears away for his brother's sake, but he kept on sobbing loudly.

Suno was holding documents in his hands. There were so many papers. There were people trying to take Ikuto away because Suno was supposedly too young to handle a little brother and a company. Ironically, some of his father's most powerful employees were plotting to steal the company. He had so much to fight for, and wasn't exactly sure how to go about the business. There was too much to do, and only a certain budget, a budget that should have been bigger, but for some reason, a large sum of the money was going to Ikuto, a very large sum.

'I have to calculate everything perfectly as far as the company, or it'll go bankrupt. How could my father leave such a large sum to Ikuto? He's only eight years old. He can't possibly do anything with it. The account will be frozen until he's 18. It'll just be sitting while I have to struggle. I need it, and yet it's out of my reach.'

The two brothers' were in one of their father's houses, an extra one. They were in the master bedroom. Ikuto was sobbing on the bed while Suno was trying to go on. "We don't have time to mourn Ikuto, and I won't have anymore of your tears. Get over it."

Suno's voice was so cruel and inconsiderate. Ikuto couldn't believe that his brother could be so cruel and empty. 'But I'll miss you mommy...and what about daddy.' "I can't live without-"

"The only one you can't live without is yourself, so get over it Ikuto. Their gone and there's nothing you can do about it."

Ikuto struggled not to cry, but he was still sobbing. In a few minutes though, his tears were dry, and with the stony words from his brother, he hardened his heart as well, and buried his happiness deep inside.

"And we're finally one big happy family!" Sarah kissed Suno on his lips long and passionately with all the affection she could muster up within her body. She loved her husband and was so happy that her daughter adjusted to him so well.

The both of them were in Suno's private jet, on their way to an island in the Caribbean to a private location where the two of them could be alone. "And so it begins" Suno told his bride.

"So it begins? You make it sound like a fairytale" she quickly kissed him. "Am I the equivalent to a princess?"

"Someone like Sleeping Beauty?" he asked her. "Any one of them will do, I suppose."

"Then thank you for waking me up, and making Rina and me happy." She kissed him again. "I love you so much!"

He had never really loved a woman before and now he could. It was a new experience and very strange to him, but he accepted it with grace. She was beautiful, and she was his. "The feeling is mutual."

Suno sighed, looking at the closet with unbelief. How could he be suckered into doing this? He never did it with Ikuto, and if Ikuto insisted that something was there, he would simply tell him to leave him alone, and Ikuto eventually someday got over it. Now here he was, many years later, with Rina, in a mess he always wanted to avoid. "There's no monster in your closet."

"Yes there is!" she yelled. "I hear him! He wants to eat me!"

"It's just the wind."

"It's the monster…" She began to cry, so easily. How could she be so frightened? Suno finally had enough and placed his hand on the handle, but his daughter screamed and begged for him not to do it. "Don't daddy, or he'll be real mad and he'll eat the both of us!"

Although he understood she was a child and having one of her childish fantasies, he became highly offended. "Do you honestly believe that some monster can eat me?" He made Rina sound like she was crazy for thinking such a thing and she was ashamed. "Rina, don't you know that I'm one of the greatest warriors in the world?"

"You are?" she asked with pure amazement.

"Of course I am. Not only that, but everything is run by business and money. Everyone is afraid of me for that reason. I'm one of the most powerful men in the world, and even some little monster would be too afraid to mess with me."

"That's amazing!" she admitted. "So I shouldn't be scared to open my closet, because he won't bother me, cuze I'm your daughter right?"

"Correct." He was so offended that he forgot that the conversation should have been about how the monster wasn't real, but he let it go. She climbed in her bed, satisfied and unafraid. "Night daddy."

"Goodnight Rina." He left her room and went into his and prepared himself to go back to sleep. Once he climbed into his bed, his wife kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you honey, I've got a headache." She kissed him again, trying to take it a bit further, but he was a bit irritated and upset that he had to take care of Rina's need.

"Oh no, you've got a headache."

She started to laugh and she wrapped her arms around him. "Please honey, I thought it would be nice if you dealt with her monster. You must have done well."

He turned over and forgave her, and began to finally embrace her. "Well next time, you handle it."

"Rina…"

"Don't speak" Ikuto commanded his older brother. "We're almost home." Ikuto was holding his brother's head while they were driving home. They were driving in a large luxury car and took the back seats out, so there was plenty of space left for the brothers in the back.

"Why didn't you have that Inuyasha demon take him? Would he have been much faster?" Jamon was the one driving, and Rina was sitting next to him, crying a great deal.

"His body is damaged and probably would be damaged even further if we moved him too much, and jumping building to building like Kagome and Inuyasha are doing right now will only make things worse."

"Rina?" Suno questioned again. "Is she alright?"

"Daddy!" Rina looked behind the chair to see him, but he couldn't see her. "Why can't he see me?"

"His vision is a little out of whack; he probably can't see that far." Ikuto brushed the hair that was in Suno's face off of his head. "You're a mess aren't you?" Suno's mouth was surrounded by nothing but blood, his face and his hands. "Don't worry Suno, she's safe. You don't have to worry."

Suno half smiled once he heard the news. "I'm glad."

Ikuto saw that his consciousness was fading again, and he began to shake him again. "Don't give up on me! Don't you dare leave me Suno! You've got to make it!"

To be continued……
