-Hey hey hey again! Yeah I'm back again.
Well I couldn't really get some thoughts organized for this chapter, so what ever you read is what came to my mind at the exact moment as I was typing.(sweat drop)
I hope that it's okay and that guys will enjoy it!
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS STORY IS ALMOST COMING TO AN END!
((A/N: Just thought that I would let everyone know))
The loud screams from the young school girl echoed through the entire perimeter.
"THERE'S A GIRL ON THE ROOF! SHE'S GOING TO JUMP!"
Yoh's eyes shot over and remained focused on the young blonde girl standing only a few steps from what could be her death.
He tried hard to shake the thought from his mind.
No, no, no, no! That can't be Anna. That just can't be! Tell me she's not up there! He shouted in his mind.
He closed his eyes so tight that it hurt and he shook his head several times.
He tried really hard to get that thought out of his head.
But the more the surrounding students screamed, the more convincing it was for him that it was indeed Anna on the roof.
"No way! That isn't Anna up there is it?" Manta shouted in horror.
Manta's screams caused Yoh's eyes to immediately open again.
As he looked up once again and squinted his eyes to get a better look...and as he focused on the young girl...
His heart shattered into thousands of pieces and he no longer felt his pulse.
His pupils instantly shrunk, his vision clouded and blurred.
All of his thoughts and his fears abruptly disappeared. They were gone at the snap of a finger.
His entire soul collapsed, and all that was left was a lifeless corpse, barley managing to stand in it's place.
Yoh was dead.
He couldn't gather the strength to move from his position, his entire body had suddenly shut down.
He couldn't move!
From what was left of his mind, he repeatedly shouted to himself 'MOVE! MOVE!' but it's as if his body was the one in control, he just wouldn't move.
"No way! What's she doing up there! ANNA GET DOWN FROM THERE!" Horo Horo Horo dashed over to the gathering crowd of students that had formed just in front of the entrance.
"ANNA! DON'T DO THIS!" Manta was the next to dash over and disappear into the growing crowd.
"ANNA!" Ren hollered.
Ren dashed over as well, but stopped when he noticed that Yoh was standing still and wouldn't even blink.
Ren would not let this happen, he quickly ran back and furiously grabbed onto both of his shoulders.
"YOH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" He shouted.
Yoh remained in his lifeless state and did not move his lips.
Ren then tightened his grip and shook Yoh angrily with both hands.
"SNAP OUT OF IT! ANNA'S ON THE ROOF AND SHE'S GOING TO END HER LIFE! GET OVER THERE YOU IDIOT!" Ren grabbed Yoh and threw him to the ground.
Yoh slammed onto the ground, hitting the grass, head first.
As his face fell onto the cold and jagged grass, his soul, mind and body suddenly came back to existence.
His pupils regained their original size and his vision was clear.
Thoughts broke through and flooded his mind again.
He sternly placed both of his hands onto the ground. With all of his strength, he lifted himself up off of the grass and then stood himself straight up.
He took in a deep breath and the shouted with all of his might.
"AAAAANNNNNAAAAA!"
He dashed into the crowd of nearly 200 hundred students and teachers.
He rapidly pushed through the crowds and shoved everyone that was in his away.
In a matter of seconds, he made it through the crowd and had made it to the front door.
But, as he lifted his head, he saw a heavy built police officer blocking the entrance.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! GET OUT OF HERE!" The officer shouted at the students.
He lifted his long black club and threatened the eager students.
Yoh would not let this officer stand in his way.
The love of his life, was about to end her own, and he would not let this happen.
He firmly stood up and walked over to the officer.
"Move out of the way." Yoh said sternly.
"What? Quit acting stupid, kid. Get out of here! I'm trying to handle a crowd." The officer shoved Yoh out of the way pushing him to the ground.
Yoh's rage increased dramatically as he stood himself up again.
He gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes, took in a deep breath, tightened his fist, and swung it into the air with as much force as he could!
His fist slammed into the officer's jaw and dropped him to the ground, instantly.
Yoh regained his posture and without wasting any time, flung the front door open and ran into the building.
As he ran into the school, he was confronted with a chaotic scene as hundreds of students packed every inch and corner!
Students ran up and down the stairs, shouting to friends and strangers that there was something that they had to see outside!
What was Yoh to do now? How was he supposed to get to the roof when there was no room to walk through?
He watched as several students walking up the stairs, were trampled and completely swallowed up as other students ran down in the opposite direction.
The crowds of panicking students would not end. More and more students came running out of their classrooms and dashing down the stairs.
It was endless.
Yoh sighed, but he was determined to get to the 9th floor and then ultimately to the roof as quickly as he could.
He took in a deep breath and rushed over to the nearest stair case, which was overflowing with panicking students.
He firmly placed his hand around the metal hand rail and pushed through as hard as he could.
As if sensing his presence, the students pushed even harder and swarmed down the stairs in enormous numbers, as Yoh went up.
Yoh almost lost his balance, but he gripped the railing even tighter. His body was dangling in the swarm of people, but his hand was still clenching onto the hand rail.
He pulled himself up as hard as he could until he met up with his clenched hand. He then pushed a student aside, and continued walking up the stairs.
He couldn't see very well, but he knew that he was almost at the top. Once he made it up these stairs, he only had 9 more flights to go.
As the thought of 9 flights of stairs came to his mind, it infuriated Yoh causing him to growl and push even harder through the piling students.
He huffed as he shoved through the obstruction as forcefully as he could.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he fell onto the ground and gasped for air.
As he looked up, he realized that he had made it to the top of the stairs.
He had done it.
Without delay, he stood himself up and sprinted up 9 more floors.
Again and again, he pushed other's aside and thought of Anna to keep him going.
He just couldn't let Anna end her life.
He would have to kill himself first, before he saw the girl that he loved, end her life needlessly.
He only had 3 more floors to go, and to his astonishment, all three floors were empty.
A majority of the students on the last floors must have gone down to the 1st floor already.
Yoh took this to his advantage and ran even faster up the least three flights of stairs, until he had made it to the last floor.
The 9th floor.
He took in several deep breaths, and looked in all directions, searching for the small stair case that would lead him to the roof.
Because Yoh had never gone up to the roof before, he had no idea where to look for the stairs.
He ran as fast as he could, up and down long and short hallways, entering classrooms searching for the small spiraling stairs.
He just couldn't find them!
Time was passing by quickly and Yoh panicked with every second that passed by.
Damn! Where's that stair case! I have to hurry up and find it! If I don't, Anna'll jump and kill... Yoh stopped thinking right then.
He grunted and ran even faster through the halls trying to get the thought out of his mind and replacing it with searching for the stairs.
He breathed in heavily at every corner that he passed. He looked up, down and side to side in every hall way, but he just couldn't spot the stairs.
Yoh was getting agitated This was getting very annoying for him and he was losing his patience...quickly.
He panicked even more as he heard the screams of students from open class room windows.
The only words that were crossing his mind were the screams of the young students as they encouraged the girl to...
"JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!" The students shouted.
The screams were getting louder with every growing second and they bounced around in Yoh's ears drums.
"Jump! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!" Those annoying words grew louder and louder irritating his ear drums, flooding his mind with negative thoughts.
All he could think was that poor Anna would listen to them and throw herself off of the roof to please the crowd.
"JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!"
Yoh gritted his teeth, and clenched his fist. He just couldn't take it anymore!
He lifted his fist and bashed it right into a small locker near by.
"SHUT UP!" He shouted.
Just as he stopped and looked at his hand, he heard an echo.
The echo his hand had made as it pounded into the metal locker.
He listened to the echo as it spread through the halls and the entire floor.
Suddenly, he turned to his left, in the echo's direction, and finally, to his surprise, was a small white door swinging gently back and forth.
Yoh's eyes widened as he stared at the small wooden door swinging back and forth, revealing a small room at the very end of the hallway.
Within the room, lay a small black metal stair case that spiraled up.
Yoh had found them.
He had found the stairs.
Without delay, he dashed over towards door, flung it wide open, and walked into the room.
There, he looked up and squinted his eyes as the afternoon sun shown through the last door at the top of the stairs that opened up to the roof.
He grabbed onto the small metal hand railing and dragged himself up the stairs as fast as he could!
While running up the stairs he shouted to himself...
"ANNA! HOLD ON ANNA! I'M COMING! PLEASE DON'T..."
Yoh burst through the door at the top of the stairs and to his surprise...
There was Anna. Only a few feet away from him...on the edge of the roof.
Her back was facing him and she did not turn to see who was behind her.
Her hair was swinging gently back and forth in the wind, and she did not make a move or sound.
"Hello...Yoh." She muttered.
((Author's Note:))
Whoa...left you all on a cliff hanger huh?
Well I was going to make this chapter longer, but I thought it'd just be too much to read so I ended it here.
I wonder how Anna knew that Yoh was behind her without even looking!
Hey! I'm the author here! I should know...but I don't! XD
This story has just a few more chapters to it and then it'll END!
So please tune in for the last chapters!
I love you all!
Bye!
P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
I Hope that everyone has a blessed new year
