Author's Notes: Lol, by watching the third LOTR movie I believe that I've gotten myself into an LOTR mood now... laughs no worries for you guys though as it won't effect my fic writing-it just means that for my own reading pleasures I should be found lurking in the Aragorn/Legolas friendship section... grins ANYWAY...back to the matters at hand! I do apologize for how long it took me to update this chapter, but I realized when I was updating this fic with chapter 10, that chapter 11 was only partially written up...so I had to finish typing up chapter 11 before I could post it-or it wouldn't have made any sense. grins I still don't have any internet connection at my place... sighs evil Verizon people who haven't connected us yet. Ah, well, enough of my rambling and whining, right? This fic is gradually making it's way to the finish line...it's pretty much writing itself now. I'm thinking before Christmastime it should be complete. and that would make two completed fics for this author! Woohoo! winks

ForevermoreAuthor: Angel Spirit
Chapter 11: WhisperCatch me as I fall say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
As Kouji ran, he didn't really pay attention to where it was he was going.
The only thought that was running through his head, was how stupid he was being. Why had he ran as he had? Why hadn't he stayed, and confronted his fears?
But was being with Takuya really a fear of his? Or was Kouji just afraid to admit to himself that he'd been wrong all this time, that he had known all along that he was still in love with Takuya and had just been too afraid that Takuya would leave him again...?
So many thoughts and questions whirled through his confused mind, that he hadn't even realized that it was raining-and that he'd rushed out of the dorm rooms without a coat to protect him against the chilly winds that soared through the air, and icy droplets of water that fell from the sky.
He hadn't noticed that within seconds of running out of the dormitory that he was soaked to the bone-his white and black T-shirt clinging to his skin as well as the black jeans that he wore-their material now heavy because of the water, and making it slightly harder for him to run as properly as he could've.
However, he wasn't quite paying attention to that. In fact, he wasn't quite paying attention to anything.
And that was why it was too late when he noticed the car coming straight for him as he'd started to cross the street...
Kouji couldn't move, he was paralyzed with fright from waist down-the only thing he could think of doing was to throw his arms up over his face and chest and try to protect himself that way the best he could. But he knew that it would hurt-the impact of the car hitting his body...
But it never happened.
If only because a guardian angel was surely looking out for him.
He heard someone cry out his name, panic laced through the voice that screamed out a warning to him-to move before it was too late. But Kouji could only stand there with his eyes opened wide in fright, like that of a deer caught in headlights...
And then so suddenly he was pushed out of the way. Actually, it was more like he was shoved out of the way. Someone else landing heavily on top of him...
Making him groan as he felt the other body contact harshly with his own.
Kouji's dark blue gray eyes were closed as his back skidded along the ground for a couple of minutes, and he winced when he felt the pavement scrape his arms. But it was the voice that brought him to open his eyes-the same voice from a few seconds ago, that had told him to move out of the way.
He nearly lost all capability to breathe when he realized who it was that was sitting right on top of him, as his dark blue gray eyes latched onto a pair of dark brown ones.
He had saved him.
Takuya had come after him...why?
The question still pounding through Kouji's head, he realized a little too late that Takuya was trying to talk to him. And that he wasn't paying attention to what it was the brunette was saying to him. But then again, his mind was still a little fuzzy from everything that had just happened.
Before Kouji could ask Takuya to repeat himself, Takuya was gently helping him up-and leading him back to the sidewalk where several people started to ask if they were alright.
Placing an arm around Kouji as though to guard him away from the curiosity of strangers, Takuya told everyone that they were fine-that Kouji was just in shock and just needed to rest.
Was that really all it was?
"...head back." Kouji's mind seemed to snap back to reality when he heard Takuya say this, as he suddenly realized that Takuya had been checking him over for injuries the whole time and had noticed his scraped up arms.
But Kouji wasn't ready to head back. Not yet...even though it was pouring down rain, his clothes were soaking wet and sticking to his skin, and he'd almost gotten hit by a car only to be saved by Takuya...he wasn't ready to head back to the dormitory.
So he shook his head at the brunette, still trying to piece together what it was his mind was trying to tell him-no...more importantly, what it was his heart, was trying to tell him.
Don't turn away
Don't give into the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
Takuya tried to protest though, when he declared that he didn't want to go back.
And maybe Kouji didn't want to go back, because he knew that the moment he and Takuya would enter the dorms, it would all go back to the way it was before-and Kouji would never regain the courage to tell Takuya that he still loved him. That he'd make up some kind of ridiculous story as to why he had said what he had said before, and the chances for Kouji to be in Takuya's arms again and to feel his lips upon his own would be lost once more.
Kouji knew that he wouldn't be able to stand that anymore.
Which is why he had to fix everything right now...
So needless to say, Takuya was a bit surprised-but pleasantly so-when Kouji suddenly forced him to stop trying to persuade Kouji that they needed to go back to the dorm rooms, as he found Kouji's lips upon his own.
Accepting the kiss, Takuya slowly deepened it, as he wrapped his strong, athletic arms around Kouji's lithe upper body. To find Kouji practically melting into him...
The kiss finally broke when the two teens felt the need to finally breathe. And this time when their eyes met, no words were needed, as Takuya reached out and gently took out Kouj's hair band, allowing the wet strands of dark raven blue hair to fall against Kouji's shoulder's as he brushed his hand against their silkiness.
Takuya grinned as he pulled Kouji closer to him.
"I haven't ever let you go...you have always been in my heart...and you'll always be in my heart." He whispered, and Kouji felt his own heart pound as he heard what Takuya was saying.
"Do you believe me Kouji? Do you trust me?" Takuya whispered again, and even though he didn't want to, he found himself nodding. He trusted Takuya-he always had...
And he wasn't going to let some creepy jerk ruin a love that had always been there...even throughout the eternity that they had been apart, their love had always been there, had never faltered, never failed.
"Takuya?" Takuya glanced down at Kouji, as he found Kouji once again staring straight into his dark brown orbs with his own dark blue gray ones.
"Yes?"
"A-Ashiteru..." Kouji whispered back, and Takuya felt his heart suddenly soar. He felt happier then he had in a long time. Kouji was his once more...and there was no way in hell that he'd allow anyone to take him away from him again.
Ever.
"I love you to...what do you say we head back? The other's are probably worried about us." Takuya murmured, as Kouji nodded.
"You're probably right...I think I've worried Koichi more this past couple of months than I ever did during our time in the Digital World." He watched as Takuya grinned, and suddenly pulled him much closer, and Kouji closed his eyes as he enjoyed the contact and the warmth. It was almost to much for him...he'd finally gotten Takuya back.
"We'll go back now...but not until I do this..." When Takuya kissed him again, Kouji found himself eagerly kissing Takuya back. He realized just how much he missed kissing Takuya...and that he didn't want to stop.
But they did...they had to, and the smile that Takuya had on his face lit up his eyes.
"Come on love, let's go back before they decide to send out search teams for us." Kouji chuckled as he nodded and felt Takuya wrap his arm around him and hold him close as they started the long walk back. Kouji allowed himself to lean into his koi as he savored the touch and the warmth, that Takuya provided. He suddenly no longer felt as cold as he used to. In fact, it seemed like the rain no longer seemed to touch him...
"What do you think the other's will say when we walk in like this?" Kouji murmured, and Takuya grinned as he used his left hand to gently play with Kouji's loose hair.
"They'll say it's about time!" Both boys chuckled as they continued the walk back to their dorms, not caring about anyone or anything else...just immersed in their own happiness.
Which is why they didn't see the dark, tall figure hiding in the shadows, playing with the edge of a knife that he held within his hands.
"So you're really not going to follow my orders, are you boys? I've tried to warn you, I've tried to be nice. But you've ignored everything that I've had to say to you. So Kanbara you now have a death wish...and I plan to grant it...and Minomoto, you'll be joining him...if I can't have you. No one will...I promise that. And when I make my final move, no one will be able to save you..." Sneering, the figure stepped further back into the shadows-vanishing into them completely.
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
"So Hirotaka was pretty much evicted...he had enough against him so that he's no longer on the dormitory grounds. I know the dean's trying to get him expelled from the University though-I guess he's got some sort of record on him. Sen's a different matter though-he just got a severe warning." Rei finished off as Koichi, Izumi, Alec, Kai, Kita, Yamato, and Taichi nodded their heads.
"Sounds like a plan...do you think you'll have to enforce it? I mean, the fact that Hirotaka's no longer allowed around here-it seems like he and Sen were pretty much inseparable lately." Izumi pointed out, and all Rei could do was to shrug her shoulders.
"I honestly don't know. But this whole thing is starting to get really creepy. I mean, I've been thinking all along that Sen has been the one who's had the thing for Kouji-but now we find out that it might be someone else completely. If you ask me, I think that this whole thing is getting bogus, and we need to figure out whoever's stalking Kouji quickly...before they try and pull off something else." Again, everyone nodded.
"I know I'm speaking on Kouji and Takuya's behalf, Kouji's especially when I say that Kouji's been through a lot in the past few years. I just hope that Takuya manages to talk some sense into Kouji tonight. I swear that my twin still feels something for Takuya...I can see it in his eyes whenever Takuya's near him. He's been fighting it though-and I just think that Kouji can't fight it anymore." Koichi murmured, and the other's continued to think in silence.
"You know, I think that Koichi is ri-"Izumi didn't get to finish off her sentence as the door to the dorms opened and a couple walked in...and Izumi found it really hard to not let out a loud cheer when they saw exactly who it was.
Taichi and Yamato had been called by Rei to just hang out for awhile, as their dormitory was pretty quiet. and had found the other's talking in the lounge. At one point, the winds outside had kicked up again as another storm was on it's way, and the power had gone out-leaving everyone in darkness as Alec-with the help of Koichi and Junpei had started a fire in the fireplace to help make some light as Izumi and Rei had gone looking for flashlights and candles.
The power was still out, the only light they had was from the fire that was in the lounge where everyone was talking. It was late, so many students had gone to bed already-very few were still up and studying, but even then those few had finally decided to call it a night, leaving the small group of friends alone.
But it wasn't hard to tell who it was that was walking through the doors now.
"It's about time." Koichi muttered underneath his breath, as everyone in the room grinned.
"So, where have you two lovebirds been, hmmm...?" This came from Taichi, who put an arm around Yamato's waist as Yamato leaned into him, his eyes slowly drooping shut. It was getting almost to late for him...between all the recent band practices and studying that he'd been doing, staying up late was almost an unknown to him. This was the first night in weeks that he'd done it.
"Out." Was all Kouji said, but he said it with a grin on his face. Everything felt perfect now. He felt that his friendships were now stronger than ever...but most importantly, he had Takuya back. Everything was going to be okay...and he really believed that now more then ever.
When Yamato let out another yawn, Taichi chuckled as he saw how Yamato had positioned his head on his shoulder-using it as a pillow. Without another word, Taichi stood and brought a grumbling and protesting Yamato with him. Here he was warm...and comfortable, surrounded by friends...out in that storm he was not.
"Do we have to go back?" Yamato murmured, as he closed his eyes tightly at the sudden head rush that he had gotten from standing up with Taichi too quickly.
"I think you'll do better in your own bed then you would here on the floor." Even Rei had to chuckle at this, as Yamato sighed.
"Fine...but it's cold out there."
"I'll loan you an extra sweater if you want Yamato. I'll be back in a second, hang on." And with that, Koichi left, making his way quickly up the stairs.
He was suddenly startled though, when he turned the corner and bumped right into Sen...of all people...he growled darkly, without having meaning to, and Sen backed away-looking...guilty?
"What are you doing? Spying on us?" Sen only shook his head at Koichi's question.
"No, I was going downstairs to use the restrooms when you bumped into me Kinmura-it's a free world, isn't it? Besides, you and your little friends are talking in the dorms lounge-if you want your conversation to be private, talk in one of your own dorm rooms." And with that said, Sen headed down the stairs, throwing a glare over his shoulder as Koichi glared right back at him.
"Jerk." He muttered, as he headed into his and Alec's darkened dorm and quickly fetched a spare sweatshirt for Yamato to wear-he knew that the blonde would return it later. Checking his watch before he headed out of the room, he shook his head as he realized why it was that Yamato was probably feeling so tired-it was now almost midnight.
He headed back downstairs and arrived just in time to hear the argument between Yamato, Taichi, and...Sen.
"You guys can't go out there! I'm serious-it's pouring down rain outside, there's thunder and lightning that's been going on for hours! Rei, make them stay here!"
His voice sounded nervous and high pitched, and Koichi raised an eyebrow at this. Did Sen actually sound...worried? Worried about someone else's well fare? If he did...it was the first time Koichi had ever seen him worried about someone else besides himself.
As he got to his group, he saw Rei on her feet by the door, standing next to a cross looking Yamato and an angry looking Taichi, who looked like he was about ready to punch Sen's lights out, and Sen himself stood in front of the dormitory's main entrance.
"Is there something you're not telling us Sen? Because if there is something you need to tell us, then tell us now." Sen visibly gulped at Rei's accusations as she glared at him, but when Sen didn't say anything, she shook her head.
"Then I suggest that Yamato and Taichi go now. It's already past curfew, and Yamato looks exhausted. Besides Sen, the rain isn't as bad as it was-I'm sure that they'll be okay." She murmured, actually sending a small sympathetic glance in his way. But for what reason, Koichi didn't know.
"I'll walk you guys out, alright?" She said as she took Koichi's sweater from him and handed it to Taichi, who helped a shivering Yamato put it on.
"You don't need to Rei. We'll be okay." Taichi tried to tell her, but Rei shook her head as she got out an umbrella and a flashlight.
"Nonsense Taichi...I'm the dorm's captain. You guys stayed late because I wouldn't let you go because of the storm...that, and the fact that I was the one who invited you guys over here in the first place. Now I at least want to make sure that you two are safe heading back to your dorms. I'll be right back, okay?" She asked, sending the question toward the other's, who all nodded at her. As she opened the door, a gust of wind blew through, and was strong enough to almost put their fire out. Once more, Sen grabbed her by the arm.
"You guys can't go out there Ashia! I'm serious." He said, and cursed softly when Rei shoved him off of her.
"Get off me you little prick. I've had just about enough of you for the past few days...go find someone else to bother for once...someone that's not in this room." She added, as she glared at him before escorting Yamato and Taichi out.
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die
There was nothing but silence, and Izumi stood as she hugged her arms around herself, feeling the chill from the wind that had blown in. Koichi noticed how tired she looked and motioned her over to him.
"I think we're going to go to bed...Takuya, you and Kouji going to be okay here?" Takuya nodded at Koichi's concern.
"Yeah...I think we're going to wait for Rei to come back inside and help her lock up for the night...you two head on up." Izumi let out a yawn as she waved goodnight to the other two, and allowed Koichi to guide her upstairs.
"I'm so glad those two are finally back together..." She murmured, as she leaned into Koichi, who nodded as he gently stroked her hair.
"Yeah, I'm glad too...it's about time Kouji had some happiness in his life again." Izumi nodded in agreement as they reached the top of the stairs and she gave him a goodnight kiss-one that he affectionately returned. Alec had already gone upstairs shortly after Rei had told Sen off.
"I'll see you in the morning, okay Izumi-kun?" All Izumi could do was nod, as sleep was slowly starting to claim her. She knew that Kita was already asleep-as she had gone upstairs with Alec. Izumi wasn't surprised to see that Kita had just fallen asleep on top of her bed with her clothes on, and she chuckled at the sight of her friend as she pulled a quilt over her. She changed into a pair of flannel pajama's and shivered a bit as she did so. The storm made everything much colder then it normally was this time of year.
She had crawled into bed, and was savoring it's warmth, when suddenly she heard a loud scream from outside.
Bolting upright and cursing, she nearly fell out of her bed as she found her slippers and pulled them on. From beside her, Kita had bolted upright as well, and looked quite startled as she tried to find the words that she wanted to speak.
"W-what...what was that?" She murmured weakly as Izumi shook her head at her.
"I have no idea Kita. I'm going to go and check it out though..." Kita nodded as she climbed out of her bed, pulling on the zip of the front sweatshirt that she had hanging on the foot of her bed and then putting on her slippers.
"I hate to say this, but that scream sounded like...like Rei." She finished, and Izumi didn't say anything. She knew Rei, but she didn't know Rei as well as Kita did. She only hoped that Kita was wrong.
"Rei was just going to make sure that Yamato and Taichi got off okay...I hope nothing's happened to them." Kita knew the situation that was going on with Kouji-how they knew he now had a stalker-and had started to try and hurt those close to Kouji.
The two girls stumbled out into the hallway, just as Koichi and Alec reached the foot of the stairs, both looking worried.
"That scream didn't sound like a good scream." Alec muttered as Koichi nodded. By now, some of the other students had poked their heads out of their dorms, wondering what was going on.
Again, another scream was heard-but this time it wasn't the same high pitched scream as before. By the time Koichi got downstairs, the front door was already open, and he noticed that both his twin and Takuya were gone...and he guessed that they'd probably gone to see what was going on outside-as they'd been the closest.
"I told them not to go! No one listens to me!" Sen had come up from behind Kita, Koichi, and Izumi and Izumi turned and glared at Sen. She was really starting to dislike him. As far as she was concerned at the moment, he could die and go to hell. From the looks on Koichi's and Kita's faces, she had the feeling that they were thinking the same way.
"What do you know that we don't Sen? WHAT?!?" Koichi was furious. Sen was about to open his mouth, but Kouji came dashing up to them, panting and looking scared.
"Someone call 9-1-1...there's been an accident..." He breathed out, and Izumi, feeling herself grow pale managed to turn and head for the nearest phone-which was in the lounge area.
"What happened Kouji?" Kita asked softly, afraid for what the answer was going to be.
"A car...out of control...swerving to much...they didn't see it until it was too late...Rei..." Kita paled suddenly, and her knees went weak.
"Rei? Oh god..." She whimpered, but Kouji shook his head.
"It was heading...for her...but...it missed...it missed her because Yamato...Yamato pushed her out of the way...oh gods..." Kita was shaking, and stumbled. Kouji caught her, and held her shaking frame close.
Not wasting another second, Koichi dashed out into the storm, and halfway down the small street, he saw what he wanted to see-and what he saw made him close his eyes as he felt an onslaught of emotions. It was as Kouji had said it was...Yamato was lying on the ground, not moving. Taichi was on his knees next to his fallen koi, his hand holding Yamato's own...Kouji couldn't see Taichi's face, but he didn't think he wanted to see the pained expression that was there.
A little off to the side, Rei sat in shock on the ground, in the same spot from where she had fallen from where Yamato had pushed her out of the way. Takuya had his arms around her, and she was leaned up against his chest as she stared blankly at the scene before them.
"Oh god..." Koichi breathed out as he reached the four teens, and went over to Taichi first...he was positive that Taichi was in almost as much of a shock as Rei, if not more...
"H-he...he pushed her...out of the way...the car was coming...s-so fast..." Taichi stammered, as though he were still trying to understand what had happened.
"I-it would have hit her...but...but it hit him instead...oh god...oh god, oh god...Yama..." As Taichi started to fully understand exactly what had happened, the shocking reality became all to real for him, and he let out a hoarse cry as he fell backward-and against Koichi.
Koichi held him tight as he allowed Taichi to cry, his face buried into his shoulder.
They were like that until they heard sirens a few minutes later, and an ambulance arrived. Taichi continued to hold onto Koichi, as he watched while Yamato was put on a stretcher as quickly and gently as possible and loaded into the vehicle.
As Koichi left Taichi in the capable hands of the EMR people, he headed over to where Takuya still sat with Rei-who lay unmoving in his arms, her eyes were still open-she just wasn't responding to anything. And Takuya looked scared.
"I-I don't know what to do Koichi, she won't respond to her name, she won't talk to me..." Koichi gently waved a hand in front of Rei's eyes, but she didn't even blink.
When he glanced her over, he silently cursed...Rei had actually gotten hurt, but not as bad as she could've. Both of her arms were scraped up from where she had hit the pavement and there was a bloodied hole in the knee of her jeans.
"Takuya, we've got to get her into that ambulance...I don't think that there's anything we can do for her, but there's something they can do for her." As though someone heard him, a girl who didn't look too much older then himself came over, and knelt down next to them as she observed what was going on.
"Did you guys see what happened here?" She asked softly, and both Takuya and Koichi shook their heads.
"We didn't see it...but Taichi-the brunette who's with Yamato, did...and so did our friend here, Rei...but she's hurt." The young woman nodded as she took out a small, miniature light and shined it into Rei's eyes for a minute.
"She's gone into shock. Come on, we need to get her into the ambulance...I'll have her arms looked at once we get her settled in." Takuya nodded as he looked over at Koichi and together the two managed to get Rei up and moving as they followed the EMR woman. The moment they got closer to the ambulance, the girl who had come over to them immediately got the attention of two of the other guys-who had actually been the one's who had gotten Yamato onto the stretcher-and came back over to where she'd left Takuya and Koichi.
"We'll take her from here." One of the paramedics said, as he gently took Rei from Takuya and Koichi, and with the help of another, took her into the ambulance.
"The cops will be needing a statement as to what happened here tonight-I have the feeling they might ask you two questions, so just tell them what you can." The two boys nodded at the driver, who suddenly spoke and turned the sirens on again.
"We're taking your friend Taichi with us-he won't leave his boyfriends side, and I don't blame him. But I urge at least one of you to try and come down to pick him up later." With that, the ambulance took off, and Koichi heard Takuya sigh.
"Tonight has not gone well...not well at all." He murmured, as he and Koichi dashed out of the rain and back across the street, heading for their dorm rooms.
When they got inside, their dormitory was in complete and utter chaos. Other students had awoken because of the screaming, and now wanted to know exactly what had happened. Problem was, was that they couldn't really tell them what had happened...they didn't really know.
As Koichi and Takuya looked around for Kouji, Kita, and Izumi, they saw the three by the fireplace, and saw Kouji wrapped up in a blanket as he looked like he was ready to scream in frustration...there were so many people surrounding them that it took Takuya and Koichi a few minutes to get to their friends.
"I TOLD YOU I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!" Kouji finally shouted out, as several people stepped back as he stood up. All Kouji wanted right then and there was to be in the arms of Takuya...and seconds later he got his wish, as Takuya stepped up behind him and he fell back into his embrace as his arms circled themselves around Kouji's waist. As Takuya comforted and soothed Kouji, Koichi suggested to Izumi that she go get Kai.
Izumi nodded as she dashed up the stairs, past the floor that she and most of her other friends were on, and up to the third floor where Kai roomed.
As she finally managed to get a sleepy-looking Kai out of bed and told him what was going on, Takuya was maneuvering both Kita and Kouji out of the room, with Koichi's help. Kouji's outburst from earlier had calmed people down a bit, though questions were still being thrown out to them-but not as bad as before.
When they got upstairs, Kouji let out a small breath of relief...and was greeted by Alec shortly thereafter.
"I'm not sure what happened, but I know it's got a lot of people shaken up...I thought it best to stay up here." He murmured to Koichi, who nodded.
"I'll tell you what happened in a second, you'll need to know and understand as much as we do at the moment...but first we need to get Kouji and Takuya into their dorm room...and Kita as well. I think we all need to stay together at this point in time." Alec nodded as he led the way, but after he walked into Kouji's and Takuya's room, he did what seemed like an about face and practically stormed out of the room.
"You don't want to take them in there-let's take them into ours instead." Koichi nodded, briefly wondering for a second what it was that Alec didn't want Takuya and Kouji to see.
"I'll take them to our room...and I'll let you check it out in there, you'll see what I mean." Alec murmured as he continued on down the hall with Takuya, who was still trying to calm Kouji down.
The moment Koichi entered his twin's and Takuya's room, he immediately saw what it was that Alec hadn't wanted the other two to see...and was pleased that at least Alec was looking out for them...he knew he could trust his roommate, hands down from this point on.
"Damn it...this just tops everything off and makes tonight one hell of a night." Koichi muttered as he shined his flashlight around, and gasped when he saw the written message on the wall next to Kouji's bed.
The room was torn apart and in shambles...and on the wall where Koichi now had his flashlight shining at, was a message that he had yet to figure out it's meaning too...though he had the feeling that he'd figure it out much sooner then later.
On the wall, scribbled in a dark red paint that looked like a play off of blood, read this:
'END GAME'
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in?
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end
TBC
End Note: So you'll realize that there's also another chapter along with this one...so go off and have another good read...
Oh, and one more thing...if I spelled Ashiteru wrong will someone PLEASE inform me? I think I got it right but I'm not one hundred percent positive. So if someone will let me know, I'll go back and eventually change it.
