Wings: How did you do that? stares wide eyed did you read my mind? Admit it! You read my mind! About the change of Pov's, well, it was supposed to have a dashed line there, but when I actually uploaded it, it disappeared. As for Shirako, come on, keep everyone else… well, except for maybe Nolo… Please I don't want to die! But let me keep Shirako!
Well, can't have the cake and eat it too.
Alexandria Sherazade: I love him too sweetie, but unfortunately, he belongs to Karma… NO! Well, at least Shirako's free… MINE!
Luna: I'm sorry, yeah, you just read Breaking Point huh? Well, don't worry, Shirako will live… some how… Well, since this NOT Breaking Point, well, I'm sorry… don't cry… You just did for Shirako… And what do you mean that you needed it?
Well, here's the next chapter… hope ya'll like it…
Ch.4 Darkness
The room erupted into a violent whirlwind of activity. Taro and Karma shrank back against the wall as doctors and nurses rushed through the door-way.
A team of technicians surrounded Destiny's bed. Bedcovers hit the floor.
"No pulse!" A voice yelled.
"I can't get a blood pressure!" Another shouted.
The mother and the father trembled as the room seethed with medical urgency. Over the activity, then rose a persistent whining from the heart monitor.
"Get the cart!" The machine next to Karma was yanked into motion and shoved over to Destiny's bed. Doctors attached electrodes to her bare skin. Taro clenched his fists, and pressed tighter to the wall. The sound of his blood pounded in his ears, merging with the mechanical screech of the monitor until he thought his eardrums would explode. The daughter who he'd never said a word to in reality, could not die… not before she knew him… not before she learned to live…
Someone called, "Clear." Doctors and nurses stepped away from the bed and the cart. The air snapped with tension. The body on the bed twitched as electricity surged through it.
Flash back
Karma held up a rattle, gave it a shake and baby Dezie broke into a broad, toothless smile. Karma rubbed her pale cheek and tickled her under the chin. The baby squealed and giggled, thrashing her arms wildly. She grasped the rattle.
Karma patted her daughter's head, stroking the new growth of red hair. Dezie dropped the rattled and grasped Karma's finger. She laughed and the baby laughed with her.
End Flash back
A doctor barked, "No, response! Let's hit her again" Karma had lost all feeling in her fingers. She was cold. Why was she so closed? The machine zapped and crackled and the body heaved on the bed one more time. The monitor send out a a weak wavering blip. Karma caught her breath.
A nurse shouted into Dezie's ear, "Dezie! Can you hear me?" She turned to Karma and commanded, "Call her, keep calling her name"
"Dezie!" Karma repeated her daughter's name over and over in her ear. "Listen to mommy! Wake up!" The words, and the tears poured out. Where was she? Could she hear me? "You can't leave Dezie! Do you hear me? You can't leave…"
A doctor shouted. "We're losing her!"
Karma froze. Then there was silence. No heart beat. No sound. "No…" She whispered. Blackness took her in, once again.
A/n: hm… another cliffie… I'm getting evil… I should start running now, huh? Well, R&R! Till next time, Sayonara!
P.S: Sorry for the long wait and the short update!
