SUFFER THE WRATH OF MY CLIFFHANGERS!MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!I've official had too much coffee today...Heh heh...-Feral grin-



BANG!

Angel heard the gun go off and snapped her eyes shut, waiting for the bullet to hit her, but it never came.Instead she found herself falling backwards.She landed hard on the ground and felt someone on-top of her.

'What?Someones on me?' Angel thought.Angel slowly opened her eyes and was horrified to see...

"MERCY!" Angel yelled.Mercy was laying on her, covered in blood.Angel felt sick, like she was gonna throw up.There was a puddle of blood around the two girls and it kept growing..Angel picked up her younger sister and craddled her.

"M-Mercy!Why d-did you do t-that?" Angel asked as tears started to form in her eyes.Mercy reached up and touched her older sisters face.

"S-Sis,you've always protected and loved me.No matter what I've always been able to depend on you...S-so I couldn't just let you get shot..It was my turn to protect you.I love you sister..." Mercy said.

"I-I love you too, Kitten." Angel said as Mercy passed out from losing so much blood.Haru turned to Rei, who was standing there with a weird look on his face.

"YOU BASTARD!YOU SHOT A FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL!" Haru screamed."I-I didn't...I wasn't t-trying to..hurt Mercy..." Rei sputtered.

No matter what Rei felt about Angel, he had always liked Mercy as a little sister."YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU FIRED!" Haru yelled.

Momiji was standing next to the Valentine girls, crying.Angel kissed Mercy's forehead.Angel's heart started to race as she felt the most intense rage flow through her body."Momiji will you hold Mercy for me?" Angel asked as her hair fell infront of her face, hidding her eyes.

"S-sure Angel..." Momiji said.Angel gently slid Mercy into her boyfriends arms and stood up."Momiji get my cell outta my bag and call 911." Angel told him.Momiji nodded.

Angel had Mercy's blood all over her clothes.Angel started walking slowly towards Rei.She lifted her head and showed her eyes...Angel's eyes had gone totally black.There was no other color in her eyes.Only black."Damn you Rei...DAMN YOU TO HELL!" Angel screamed at Rei.

'H-hah eyes...Ah'm in trouble...She's nevah been this mad before...Tha tables have been turned...She's gonna kill meh...!' Rei thought.Angel ran towards Rei.Rei got so scared at this point that he dropped his gun.

Angel grabbed Rei by his neck and threw her weight onto him, making him fall backwartds onto the ground with her on top.

Angel straddled his waist, pinning his arms to his sides at the same time.Angel dug her nails into his neck as she began to strangle him."Your gonna pay for what you did...!" Angel yelled.

Rei's neck started to bleed as Angel dug her nails deeper into his neck.Rei gasped for air.'She's really gonna kill him...!As much as I hate Rei,I can't let her do that.I can't let her become a murderer!' Haru thought.

By now Momiji was on the phone explaining what happened to the 911 people.Momiji had also found Angel's gym clothes in her bag and had folded the shirt and pressed it against Mercy's wound.

Angel felt two arms encircle her and lift her off of Rei."Let me GO!" Angel screeched at Haru as she began to struggle.

"No.I can't.If I do, you'll kill him and become a murderer!" Haru told her."I DON'T CARE!HE'S GONNA PAY!NOBODY DOES THAT TO MY SISTER!" Angel screamed.She kept struggling.

'Damn him!I'll never forgive him!He hurt my Kitten...!HE'S GONNA PAY FOR EVERYTHING HE'S DONE!' Angel thought.

Eventually Angel's struggling became weaker and weaker until she stopped.Tears started to roll down her cheeks and she started to sob.Haru sat down on the ground and hugged her while she cried.

Angel buried her face into his shirt and sobbed louder and louder until she was practically screaming into his chest.

Momiji stared at the two of them.'I know Angel asked me to hod Mercy, but I want to be the one holding her while she's crying...' Momiji thought.The ambulance showed up 10 minutes later, along with the police.

They put Mercy and Rei into the ambulance and the police started to ask what had happened.

"Well, Rei was gonna s-shoot me, but my little sister pushed me outta the way a-and..." Angel tried to explain, but it was hard because she still crying.The police officer was writing everything down a notepad."Why would he want to shoot you?" The officer asked.

"Rei is my ex-boyfriend.When we were going out he was always possesive of me and...one night, he raped me.He's been trying to get back together with me since then." Angel said as she stared at the ground.

"Alright.Can you give me yours and your parents names?" The officer asked."My name is Angel Valentine and my sisters name is Mercy.Our parents are dead." Angel said.

"Okay.Where does your nearest living relative live?" The officer asked."Well, my oldest brother used to live in Kyoto, but he died too." Angel said.

'Good God!This girls been raped, had her parents die, her brother die and now her sisters been shot!Poor thing...' The officer thought."Well then, where do you live?" The officer asked."She and her sister live with our cousins.

They live right down the road." Momiji said as he pointed in the direction of Shigure's house."And you are?" The nameless officer asked."He's my boyfriend." Angel said.

When they were done with the questions, the officer gave Angel the address of the hospital where Mercy was and left.Angel hadn't noticed till now that she was covered in her sisters blood.

Angel looked at Momiji and noticed that he also had blood on him."L-look at us.We should get home and change clothes." Angel said as she tried to force a smile.

Both of the boys new it wasn't a real smile, but went along with it.Angel took three steps and then her legs gave out.The boys turned around and looked at her."I-I'm sorry...I'm feel dizzy and kinda weak.I hate the sight of blood."

Angel said.Tears formed in her eyes again as she looked at her blood covered clothes.Haru walked over to her and picked her up, bridal-style.

"Haru...!' Momiji said.Haru looked at him."What?She can't walk and your not strong enough to carry her." Haru said.Momiji sighed and nodded.Angel closed her eyes while Haru carried her and felt him hug her closer to his body several times.

When they got back the house everyone looked at Angel, mainly because she was totally covered in blood."Eh!Angel-chan!What happened?You've got blood all over you and so does Momiji-kun!And wheres Mercy-chan?" Tohru asked as she started to look for a wound on Angel's body.

Haru set Angel down and she began to explain what had happened.


FLASHFORWARD

After 20 minutes, Angel was done with her story and Tohru was crying.Angel got up."I'm gonna go take a shower and change clothes.When I'm done I'm going to the hospital." Angel said as she walked outta the room.

Angel picked out a spaghetti-strap tanktop, black mini skirt and a pair of pink high-heeled knee-high boots.She got her towel and walked into the bathroom.Angel got in the shower and started to scrub herself, trying to get all the dried blood off her body.Then she noticed something under her nails.

'Huh?Oh...Thats Rei's blood.What on earth happened to me?It was like I couldn't control myself...I'd never been so mad in my life.All I could feel was hatred...I barely remember what I did.' Angel thought.She got outta the shower, went back to her room and got dressed.

Angel walked back into the living room and saw that Momiji was wearing guys clothes."Momiji, where did you get those clothes?" Angel asked."Yuki let me borrow them." Momiji said."Oh.Well... I'm gonna go to the hospital now..." Angel said.

She turned around and walk outta the room.Then she felt someones hand slip into her own.Angel looked back and saw Momiji holding her hand. "I wanna go too.I wanna know if Mercy's alright." He said.She smiled at him. "I think we should all go.We all care about Mercy." Shigure said as he got up.

Everyone else nodded.This made her smile more. 'They really care...' Angel thought.


FLASHFORWARD
Angel was talking to the doctor. "Well your sisters gonna be okay.She lost alot of blood though and she won't be able to go to school for awhile.She might also have a little trouble walking.The bullet barely missed hitting her spine.It only scrapped her spine." The doctor said. "But she's gonna live,right?" Angel asked.

The doctor nodded.Angel felt relief flow through her body. 'Oh thank god...' Angel thought. "Is she awake?Can I go in?" Angel asked.The doctor nodded again. "She's not awake,but you can all go in." The docter said. "Thank you sir." Angel said.Angel and the others walked into Mercy's room and saw her laying in the bed with all those strange little toobs,that you see in medical shows,sticking in her.

Angel walked over to her and held her hand.She kissed her younger sisters cheek.Tohru walked over to a table and set down a vase of Marigolds and Tiger Lilies,that she had asked to stop for on the way to the hospital.


FLASHFORWARD
"We should get going now." Shigure said after a half hour. "I'm gonna stay here tonight.I want to be here when she wakes up." Angel said.They all nodded. "I'll stay here with you." Momiji said. "Are you sure Momiji?" Yuki asked.Momiji nodded. "I'll stay too." Haru said.Everyone looked at him.

"Okay Haru..." Shigure said.The others walked outta the room and closed the door. "Why d'ya think Haru wanted to stay?" Kyo asked. "You really are a stupid cat." Yuki said. "WHAT DID YOU SAY,YOU DAMN RAT!" Kyo screeched.He was shushed by every nurse and doctor in the hall.

"Kyo this is a hospital!Don't scream!" Shigure said in a loud whisper. "Nobody answered my question." Kyo said. "Haru wanted to stay because he loves Angel as much as Momitchi does." Shigure said. "Huh!" Tohru and Kyo said, because one is dense and the other is a little slow on the uptake.


Back to Angel
Angel was sitting on Mercy's bed with her legs crossed,holding Mercy's hand.Haru and Momiji are both sitting in chairs right next to the bed. "So what are you gonna do when she wakes up?" Haru asked. "Well,I'm gonna kiss her and hug her and tell her how much I love her and then I'm gonna hit her upside the head for doing what she did and tell her never to do it again." Angel said.

The two boys sweatdropped. "Angel, Mercy did that out of love.She wanted to protect you." Momiji said. "I know that, but its my dutie to protect her, not the other way around." Angel said.What she didn't notice was that both of the boys kept looking at her crossed legs.They couldn't help themselves.

She was wearing a mini skirt and crossed her legs.What did she expect?Momiji kept looking too.Sweet as he might be, Momiji was still teenage boy. 'ARGH!I CAN'T STOP LOOKING!I WISH SHE WOULD UN-CROSS HER LEGS!Wait a sec,no I don't!Yes I do!No I don't!I'm SO confused...!' Momiji screamed in his head.

Haru on the other hand had no problem looking at her legs and was really enjoying it and was having pervy thoughts about her.Angel was, after all,the girl he was in love with.


FLASHFORWARD
Mercy woke up around 11:30. 'Huh?Someones holding me...?' Mercy thought.She turned her head and saw her older sister sitting behind her with her arms around her,one of her legs on either side of Mercy's body.Angel was asleep.Mercy smiled at her.

She looked around and saw Haru and Momiji asleep in their chairs and the flowers on the table.Angel felt her moving around and, because she was a light sleeper without her ear-plugs, she woke up. "Mercy?" Angel said. "Hi sis!" Mercy said cheerfully.

Angel hugged her. "Mercy,you scared the hell outta me!I thought I was gonna lose you!How do you feel?" Angel asked as she loosened her grip on her sister. "I'm fine sis." She said. "Good." Angel said.She made a fist and hit her little sister hard on the head. "OWWWW!WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Mercy yelled.The two sleeping boys were jolted awake by this.

"THAT WAS FOR BEING AN IDIOT AND LETTING YOURSELF GET SHOT!" The older Valentine yelled back. "I DID THAT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" Mercy yelled again.

"I KNOW THAT!BUT I COULD HAVE HANDLED GETTING SHOT!I'M OLDER THAN YOU, REMEMBER!ITS MORE DANGEROUS FOR A 5-YEAR-OLD TO GET SHOT THAN A 15-YEAR-OLD!" Angel yelled at her.Mercy's eyes start to fill with tears.

"So your saying I shouldn't have protected my big sister that I love?" Mercy asked.Angel sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Mercy thats not what I ment.I ment that I didn't want you to get hurt because I love you.Thats why I protect you." Angel said.Mercy smiled at her older sister and Angel smiled back.

Mercy hugged her sister again.While they were hugging Angel said. "But if you ever do anything like that again, it won't be the bullet that kills you, if you know what I mean..." Mercy twiched at this and the boys sweatdropped.

"You know,for having the last name Valentine, they certainly don't show any kind of love exept tough love..." Haru said."Yeah..." Momiji agreed. 'But thats one of the things I love about her...' Both boys thought at the same time.


Yeah, I know.It was kinda sappy.Thanks for reading.No cliffhangers this time, but next time...Heh heh...Anyway, It is now 4:00 A.M!Please review.Sorry if there are any mistypes or words that aren't supposed to be there.My kitten, Alex, decided to take a nap on my keyboard.Cats...Oh well.Women and Cats will do as they please and Men and Dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
