Fallen
Leon's POV

It was now about the fourth or so day that my dad decided it'd be best to wait and look for guys. His reason: Cops will still be on the lookout, now more than ever. Every time I ask when it'll happen, he shrugs his shoulders and goes back to watching the stolen television and drinking his stolen beer. At least now I still have some time to find a way to get him to leave the Hitachiins alone. But how much time? I tell him I'll be right back , that I'm just going to go on a walk for awhile.

I grabbed a lightweight jacket, since the seasons are changing from summer to fall, it's gotten more chilly. It'd be fine if the wind wasn't blowing like it was. The leaves are changing though, that's what I like best about Fall. As I walk the same route that I usually do, I pass the café me and Kaoru went to when I first met him. It was also the place where I sedated him , just to cause him pain. Great, that torture of guilt that takes over me is coming back. I try to escape it by running as far as I can, not really knowing where my feet are taking me. Whatever, it doesn't really matter does it?

A few minutes pass and I stop to catch my breath. Awkwardly enough I found myself standing at an extravagant hospital. The building itself looked to be a skyscraper , only a whole lot wider. How can people afford this kind of stuff? Who can make payments for this building?

"Well, it seems that he'll be okay, as long as they're together…..I just feel so bad for them…"

"If daughter needs to cry she can come to Daddy!"

"I don't need to cry and how many times have I told you sempai? Your not my dad!"

The second voice I heard sounded familiar. Ah, I know it was that hyper 'king' that tried to dress as a ninja turtle! I looked around and found a bush in the shape of a nurse (how they did that I have no idea) to hide behind. Obviously it worked out because the glasses guy and the idiotic blonde and whoever else they were with, passed me without even looking my way. I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding and left my hiding spot once I knew they were gone. So this must be where Kaoru is…. I don't understand why I was brought here…I can't do anything…not really anyways. I don't even think I could stand to look at one of my biggest mistakes. I sighed and turned around to try and find my way back to the forgotten fortress I was staying at.

"Leon Michael Medows! You stop right there mister!"

I stopped dead in my tracks. Great, I forgot my cousin worked here….not good. I would try to run, but I knew I wasn't quick enough, and if I tried to fight back she'd just karate chop me or something. Maybe , eve, purposefully break one of my legs so I'd have to stay here. Ugh, that thought was not good. With my luck , she'd make me share rooms with Kaoru and I might just commit suicide if I did that.

"What do you want Ayaka?"

I turned around to face my older cousin that I ran away from a few months ago. She looked the same only her hair was a lot shorter. The same gleam of frustration and worry was in her eyes from the last time I had witnessed her presence.

"You had better follow me, right now! I need to talk to you!"

She grabbed my wrist and led me into the building that I didn't want to enter whatsoever. Great…what if Hikaru comes down and sees me? I'll be dead for sure! I tried to cover my face with the hoodie, but being one-handed and trying to walk at a fast pace is not exactly easy to do. I guess I just have to hope that he doesn't come down. Luckily, we entered the elevator and headed up to the 8th floor. That must be where the nurses are able to rest at. Now I just need to hope nobody gets on the elevator within the time we're in it. My mind was racing and it clicked off when I heard a buzzing noise that said we are at our destination. Well, at least one of my hopes are granted. She grabbed my wrist again and headed to a secluded corner room. All the lights were off and it was empty. Ayaka flipped on the lights and slammed the door shut. She put one of the chairs that was in the room against the door to make sure nobody entered into our 'converestaion,' heh, more like a fight where only she got to yell. That's how it always was, but this time it was different. Instead of a frustrated look on her face, tears were coming down. I've never seen her cry before, I mean I've heard her , but seeing is definitely different. It's worse actually. She enveloped me in her arms and all I could do was stand there, trying not to look at her and instead fixate my gaze on the ground. She didn't leave her spot, but talked instead into my neck.

"What have you gotten yourself into….?"

"…..I'm fine, alright?"

This got her to back away from me, and to wipe away the tears that were staining her pale face. There was the anger that I was used to, but her worry hadn't left.

"Stop lying to me! Do not think for one second I don't know what happened! I don't exactly know all of it , but I do know most of it! All I know is that you got into a whole bunch of shit , you and your pathetic dad of yours! Don't give me that look! You know it's the truth and I'm sorry for that, but you should know better! Aunt May did not bring you up to hurt others when they did not deserve it!"

"Oh yeah?! Then why did she leave me and Heather with him if he was so dangerous huh? Tell me that!"

Crap, I didn't mean to slip up like that, great my being silent plan failed….

"Your mother had a very good reason for leaving you two… she didn't want to leave you guys with him, that's why she told me to get you and raise you."

"I don't believe you… if that's the truth then enlighten me. What could possibly be her reasons for leaving us? What, she found another man that would be able to stay by us like a real dad would, but she found him too safe for our liking????"

"Do not say that about her!"

"Well then , what was her reason?!"

"She was dying ! She had no way of being able to raise you and she didn't want you guys to see her weak and fragile! Is that a good enough reason?!"

"…..what?"

"She had neurological cancer, the doctors weren't able to treat her because of the placement of the tumor. She only had a couple months left, that's why she left you, she wanted you to remember her as the strong woman she was. Trust me, she regretted it all, but she knew you'd be okay if you guys went with me, but I guess her thoughts were wrong… I know I failed you , but please tell me that you aren't going to go back to that man!"

I looked at her , what was I going to say now? I had to go back to make sure he didn't hurt anyone. And if I stayed with Ayaka he was bound to find out eventually. If he found out, she'd get hurt in the process as well.

"I can't stay….I have to go back…Just trust me on this one…I'll be careful alright?"

"But…!"

"Just please….I need to…and tell Hikaru and Kaoru I'm sorry…..and I'm going to try my best to make things better…."

I turned my back on Ayaka and moved the chair out of my way. I needed to get out of there fast before she stopped me again. Instead of taking the elevator I descended down the steps. I know it's a whole bunch , but I don't want to face her or anyone else, not for awhile at least……
