Don't be taken in by the war
I should have listened to you, eh panda gramps?
Yeah, I really should have, or maybe I wouldn't be lying here on the ground bleeding to death…
Boy isn't life ironic.
It hurts to breath, and I can't see anything…
Where's Yuu-chan? Maybe he can find me. Maybe I'll be able to live…Because;
I don't want to die.
I want to be what I was meant to be… I'll fix my mistakes, I just want another chance.
You are the successor of Bookman and nothing else
Maybe I should have stayed put.
But when I saw Kanda and Allen trying desperately to protect themselves from the Akuma on top of the roof of a building and one of them aimed a hit directly for Yuu-chan… I know I shouldn't have, but my body just moved on its own, and the next things I knew, there was a claw through my stomach and the building was collapsing around me.
I heard Allen scream my name, and some ones cold hands grip my wrist as I fell, but it was no use, my two partners had to leap away and my nearly saviors' grip loosened as I began to plummet towards the ground…
I heard Kanda shout something before everything went black.
I don't know how much time passed when I came to, but I was still trapped in the rubble and I was cold… So, here I am now, a shivering bloody mess.
Haven't I taught you to be nothing more than an onlooker?
My vision is blurring and my chest feels crushed… I think I broke my ribs. But, what's that noise?
Yuu-chan…? Allen…? Is that you?
The sound of rocks moving, and now there is a sliver of light coming from above… Is that God? Am I dieing?
Yes.
I do believe I am.
But, no, now there is a face above me, and with my one good eye, I see black hair, pale lips, and finally wide, dark eyes. It's Kanda.
We're not their allies; we are only on the Organizations side by chance
"Y-You . . . came" I croak, surprised at how weak my own voice sounds. He immediately tries to glare at me, but after seeing the condition I'm in, he freezes, turning to face someone I can't see. Now Allens' head is poking through the hole above too, and he starts to say something I can't really understand… It's like my body is shutting down.
"Rabi! Sta. . . ake. . . We. . . –ing. . you"
I smiled at him, feeling blood pour down my chin as I do so.
So this is it.
My heart is pounding loudly, but slowly as both of you start to remove more rumble from on top of me… It's too late though, I know it, Allen knows it, and so do you Yuu-chan. So before I go, I have one thing to say…
Were not involved, but simply there to record history,
Minuets go by without a word exchanged, and I only see your tense faces occasionally. My vision is worse now, the end cannot be near yet I'm oddly happy. Now you're directly above me, both of you gripping my arms and trying to pull out of this hell-hole. I smile grimly and take in one last shuddering breath before turning my head in Kandas' direction:
"I love you"
The last thing I recall is you screaming my name;
And then it all disappears.
A bookman has not need for a heart.
