Okay, I know I killed Benimaru, but I'll still carry on with this story. I really did cry when I killed him…I killed my favorite character! I can't believe it! Anyway, Thank you so much, Sony Love for putting me on your favorites authors list! I thank you so much…my only reviewer! I felt so special! But, I have a plan…Benimaru will be brought back to life-or will he? Anyhow, please review, and I'll give you more tissues,(just in case if you're still crying from last time) and some imaginary CD's! Of course, the tissues are imaginary, too, but they still worked, didn't they? Okay, on with this!

Disclaimer: I do not own, okay? All right then, let's continue.

Chapter 4

I can't believe I failed…I've failed…I've failed…I failed. It's all my fault…if only I could've destroyed myself earlier, if only-

"If only…" I mumbled to myself quietly. If only was the only word in my mind, that work kept repeating in my mind as I held Benimaru in my arms. I finally decided to get up. I carried Benimaru with me, he felt so light as I carried him, so limp, so…beautiful. Even through all the blood, I could still see it…I let another tear escape my eye, and it dropped onto him. I made myself look away from him…What was I going to tell his parents? That I let him die just because of me? That I could've prevented it by killing myself? What was I going to do? Damn it, Beni you didn't have to lie, you could've told me that you were going with that bastard, you could've told me that you were going on a fuckin' date…and I could've prevented this if only I had killed Iori when I had the chance…It's almost 5:00 in the morning now, and I'm still walking to his house, our house…I open the door, and close it behind me. I head upstairs, and into Benimaru's room. I set him down gently, and cover him as if he were only sleeping I tell myself, he is, he's just covered in blood, but it can't be his own, it just can't. I go inside the bathroom, and grab a clean towel, then some water. I set the water down beside him on the bed, and begin to clean him. I take off his dirty clothes…covered in blood, and torn. I start to clean him again, and as I head lower, I realize that that bastard raped him…he had a little fun with him before slashing his neck…and I watched it, I saw the knife cut his throat, I saw the blood come out, I saw it flow…I let him do this to my Beni, he was mine…Is mine. I bring my lips closer to his own, and kiss them gently, not just a peck…something that I would never do when he was alive, but why now? It's useless, he's gone now, he's no longer the narccissive, happy conceited man I once used to know, he's just still…very still. Cold…he's cold…he's dead. The voice in back of my head tells me but I can't believe it. He's going to wake up, and say that it's all been a fake, he's alive…I can feel it…

I realized that I had fallen asleep…right there…I saw Benimaru, so pale…he's dead. The voice in back of my head said again, but I knew better, Benimaru wasn't dead-he's not…I'm going insane. I start to let the tears flow again, this time they come out in river-like forms…and I can't stop them. I bury my face in his hair, taking hold of his hand gently…caressing it.

"Do you remember how we met?" I smile, going on. "It was quite odd, actually…you hated my guts so badly when I beat you in the tournament…but you had to get used to me, eventually…so you gave me a second chance, and it worked…even if we still have a bunch of quarries, but we still get along…" I trail off slowly, and look at his face. He's still sleeping peacefully. I kiss his lips again, and smile…he's so beautiful…I put my head down onto his hand…I'll never leave you…

I head down stairs, then suddenly see two people there. (No…)

"Hello, Kyo. Where is Benimaru?" Benimaru's mom is standing there, with her husband. (What am I going to tell them? That he's dead on his bed?)

"Um…well, he's not here right now…" I let a tear escape.

"What's wrong?" Benimaru's mom looks at me, and I swear she can see it in my eyes because she heads up stairs. I try to stop her, but it's too late. She opens the door, and he's there, on the bed. Benimaru's dad is behind me, looking. She covers her mouth with her hands, and looks at me.

"How did you let this happen?" She goes over to me, and slaps me…but I deserve it. Benimaru's dad heads over to Benimaru, and holds him in his arms. They're crying…you killed him. The voice in back of my head says. I didn't kill him…I didn't.

"I'm sorry, I was too late…the-" I stop. What am I going to say? "A prisoner escaped jail, and he got to Beni…but I was too late…I couldn't save him, he could've still been alive if it wasn't for me, it's all my fault." I suddenly break down again, but Benimaru's mom seems to understand me. She goes over to me, and hugs me.

"It's okay…at least you tried, Kyo." She buries her face into my shoulder, and cries…we all cry…

LPLPLP

Benimaru's parents leave, and I'm left alone again…I'm sitting in a chair, beside him…

"Kyo…" I suddenly hear a voice…but it's not his. I turn around to see Ash there, with Dou Lon.

"Get the fuck out." I try to hold in the tears once more.

"We want to help." Ash replied softly.

"How? How can you help him now that he's dead!" I scream, taken back by my own actions, realizing what I've just said. He's dead…

"Kyo, listen to me, I-"

"Shut up!" I get up, and throw a punch at him. He moves out of the way, and I fall weakly to the ground…I let the tears flow again.

Kyo, Dou Lon thinks he can find a way to bring him back." Ash places a hand on my shoulder gently.

"How?" I ask, and Duo Lon smiles lightly.

"I have the power to do that, Kyo…even if me and Benimaru never got along too well…I'll only help because Ash has demanded it of me, and it's the right thing to do for someone else's fault." He slowly took out a necklace with a dragon symbol, and held it between his hands.

"But…" He added, "It will take some time…and after all, you will have him back." Duo Lon walked over to Benimaru, and touched his forehead with the pendent. I stood up, and turned away from them.

"Benimaru loved you very much, Kyo…he wanted to confess it to you, but thought that you would reject him, and destroy the friendship you two ever had…" Ash spoke out.

"How long?" I asked, turning around.

"The maximum of time would be 6 days…but, in his case, I think I could do it in 4." Duo Lon responded with out turning to look at me. I nodded slightly, not saying anything…4 days…I could wait…

"What am I going to tell his parents?" I asked.

"Nothing…they won't have to know anything." Ash responded.

"They already saw him…" I mention, and Ash looks surprised.

"Well then…Duo Lon will just have to erase that memory, then." Ash smirked.

"If they were to find out, they would find out about his powers, our powers…it would highly effect them, and they would not believe that he has come back from the dead…after all, they're just humans." Duo Lon responded, turning around. "I'll have to get some potions, and magic…I'll be back." Duo Lon teleported, and Ash neared me.

"Benimaru was blessed with the power of lightning, like you, the power of fire, and like me, the power of the green flame…we're more than human, and that's why we have to erase his parent's memories." Ash sat down on one of the chairs.

"I know that…but how am I going to kill that bastard?" I said, referring to Iori.

"I cannot answer that, Kyo…you must decide that for yourself." Ash brought on a slight smile before Duo Lon came back, and prepared to do his work…
