Chapter 5: What's the truth?

"Sasha, where have you been?" Nile asked. "I just got distracted while coming here, that's all." Sasha said, smiling. Just then, Nile spotted a red blot on Sasha's arm. It looked like blood! "What's that? "Nile asked. Sasha shrugged. "I scratched myself, that's all." Nile studied the blood curiously. That didn't look like Sasha's blood. It looked like someone else's blood smeared on her arm….

Just then, the door burst open. "Nile! Sasha!" Kenta had arrived! "Kenta?" Nile said. "Oh, it's you. "Sasha said. "Why are you so alarmed?" Nile asked. Kenta looked at him. "You wouldn't care." Just tell us!" He insisted. "Okay. Kairi's in the hospital, and in a very serious condition.

A wave of shock engulfed Nile. The world spun around him. "What? Why?" Kenta shook his head. "I dunno. Kyoya and Hikaru found her wounded today." Wait a minute… the blood on Sasha's arm….Nile glared at Sasha. "You did it!" Sasha pretended to look innocent. "Did what?" "Who says I can't recognise whose blood this is?' Nile snapped, holding up Sasha's arm. "Kairi is in danger because of you!"

Sasha looked smug. "Kairi was an obstacle to be removed from me having my way!" Kenta stared at her, shocked. At that moment, Nile lost it. "You cold hearted creep! You can't treat Kairi like this!" "Who says I can't?" "I do!" "And why?"

Nile paused. Sasha looked at him accusingly. "Do you love me, or Kairi?" the question shot through Nile's brain. Who did he really love? As he thought through what had happened so far, the answer came out of his mouth. "We're done. I regret choosing you over Kairi!" Sasha's face grew red with anger. Kenta gawked at Nile. He then turned, grabbed Sasha by the wrist, and dragged her out the door.

Kenta led Nile to the hospital later. "What are you doing here?" Hikaru snapped. "Didn't you thrash Kairi?" Miku added. "Look, I know. I'm sorry. But when I found out what happened to Kairi…" "Wait." Carol said. "Where's Sasha?" Nile shrugged. "I dumped her." "just go in. I don't mind." It was Kyoya. "Kyoya!" Hikaru yelled. Kyoya silenced her by putting his finger to her lips. "Calm down. Just let him go in."
