Note 2: Bloody Night
Sayoran Watase, a recruit of the police force, stood by a TAXI with crossed arms. He had been ordered by a superior to protect the superior's son and his friends when they hung out. Sayoran was only twenty-years-old and considered a valuable recruit for the force, so why was he chosen for such a small job that even a rookie could do. Sayoran in truth felt humiliated and already wanted to go home. He was ready to pull out a cigarette to smoke, but then saw three student boys about to leave the school grounds. He stuffed his cigarette into his pocket and approached them.
"Are any of you named Chiri Suwa?" asked Sayoran in an annoyed tone. Chiri nodded and pointed at himself.
"That's me and you must be Sayoran Watase, the master fighter," stated Chiri. Sayoran nodded and then looked at Kouji and Keida.
"And they are…?"
"My friends: Keida Katsunagi and Kouji Su."
"Are they the only ones coming?"
"No, there are two more: Ayumi Kokonoe and Ahiru Katsunagi."
Sayoran narrowed his eyes. If he counted right, he would be responsible for five students of Aoba Academy.
"So where are the other two?" asked Sayoran rubbing the bridge of his nose. Chiri looked over his shoulder.
"They were behind us," stated Chiri. Chiri suddenly caught sight of Ayumi and Ahiru walking down the path. Ayumi was still upon Ahiru's back laughing.
"Here they come," stated Chiri. Sayoran looked at the approaching girls. He could see Ayumi's face clearly, but Ahiru's long hair was nearly covering Ahiru's face. Kouji groaned at the sight of the two girls and marched toward them. Kouji stopped in front of them making them look at him.
"Something wrong, Kouji-Senpai?" asked Ahiru. Kouji focused on Ayumi with crossed arms.
"Who is your boyfriend, Ayumi?" asked Kouji. Ayumi pointed at Kouji.
"So why did you ask Ahiru to carry you instead of me?"
"You're weak," said Ayumi bluntly. Kouji flinched and went behind them. He carried Ayumi off of Ahiru's back and placed her back on the ground.
"Just walk so we can get to the Karaoke faster," said Kouji. Ayumi pouted and muttered that Kouji was mean. Kouji sighed. Ahiru smiled at Kouji and said, "Sorry if Ayumi is a handful." Kouji shook his head with a smile upon his lips.
"Don't worry about it. It was my decision to date her after all," said Kouji. Ahiru giggled making Kouji blush. Kouji scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Maybe I should have dated you instead." Ahiru smacked his forehead playfully.
"Don't say something like that. I am always on Ayumi's side when it comes to your relationship with her," said Ahiru and then walked forward with Ayumi attached to her arm again. Kouji sighed and followed behind.
When Kouji, Ayumi, and Ahiru reached the others, Chiri held his hand toward Ayumi and Ahiru as he looked toward Sayoran.
"These two are Ayumi Kokonoe and Ahiru Katsunagi."
Chiri looked back at Ayumi and Ahiru and introduced Sayoran to them. Ayumi and Ahiru bowed to Sayoran in greeting. Sayoran nodded at them and then finally took notice of Ahiru's full face. Her eyes were aquamarine and her lips were light pink. Her blonde hair seemed to sparkle in the remaining light of the sun. Through his eyes, he had seen a Goddess. Sayoran turned red to the cheeks at the sight of Ahiru. Ahiru noticed this and asked, "Are you all right, Watase-San?" Sayoran gasped at the sound of her voice and nodded. He looked away from her clearing his throat.
"You guys shouldn't be out too long, so let's head to this Karaoke place," said Sayoran. They nodded and headed to the Taxi that was waiting for them. Sayoran peeked into the Taxi, where the driver was waiting and sighed.
"There isn't a lot of room, so the girls will have to each sit on someone's lap," stated Sayoran. Keida smirked and said, "Well Ayumi can sit in Kouji's lap because they are dating and Ahiru can sit in my lap."
"Why your lap?" asked Sayoran with a raised eyebrow. Keida held a thumb to his chest and claimed, "Ahiru is my twin sister of course so why not?"
"Sister?"
Keida nodded and added, "Can't you tell by just looking at us?" Ahiru smiled at Keida and Keida smiled back. Sayoran frowned and said, "Fine." They went in their sitting arrangements and Sayoran sat in the front seat next to the driver. After closing the door, he told the driver which Karaoke to go too. The driver then took off down the road.
As they drove down the road, Sayoran peeked at the mirror to look back at Ahiru and the others. He focused on Ahiru mostly. He caught a glimpse of her thy from under her skirt and blushed. His heart was racing as he looked at Ahiru. It was hard to admit, but he had fallen in love with Ahiru at first sight and he was glad that Ahiru wasn't in his lap or she would have felt what she did to his body. He caught a glimpse of Keida holding her waist and clenched his fist. Keida and Ahiru were siblings but that didn't stop the burning jealousy that Sayoran was feeling at that moment.
When the street lamps had finally flicked on, they had reached the Karaoke bar. Ayumi was the first to jump out and stretch like a cat.
"It was too tight in there," complained Ayumi. Kouji slipped out of the TAXI and said, "At least we got here." Ayumi ignored Kouji and looked back into the TAXI as Chiri was getting out.
"Ahiru, I want to hold your hand," stated Ayumi. Kouji groaned and said, "What about me?"
"I already sat in your lap," stated Ayumi making Kouji groan even more. Ahiru slipped off of Keida's lap, but she suddenly fell forward. Keida grabbed her as a response, but ended up groping her left breast. Keida squeezed her breast making her flinch and added, "Your breasts grew again." Ahiru pulled away from Keida and slapped him in the face calling him a pervert. Ahiru got out of the TAXI with Keida behind her. Keida rubbed his slapped cheek. Ayumi hugged Ahiru's arm asking, "Are you all right, darling?" Ahiru nodded and glared at Keida.
"I'm telling mom and dad," stated Ahiru. Keida laughed and said repeatedly that he was joking. Sayoran got out of the Taxi too making sure to pay the driver. Sayoran whispered the time for the TAXI to come back and then joined the others.
"You can only play for three hours so hurry inside," informed Sayoran. They nodded and walked through the doors of the karaoke bar. Everything was already reserved, so all they had to do was head into one of the Karaoke rooms. Keida was the first one to reach the Karaoke machine. He grabbed the microphone and turned on the machine. He looked at the others who were already heading to the sofas in the room.
"All right everyone, let's make tonight unforgettable!" announced Keida and then he entered a disco song in the machine. When the music began, he sang along to the posted lyrics. As he sang, Ayumi and Ahiru were looking through the other song selections; Kouji was looking through the menu; Chiri was already on the phone ordering some food; and Sayoran was seated on the sofa and stealing glances at Ahiru. Keida finished his song and winked.
"How did I sound?" asked Keida.
"As good as ever," complimented Ahiru. Keida chuckled and thanked her. Sayoran groaned and then approached Keida. He ordered Keida to sit down and took the microphone making Keida confused. Sayoran typed in a song and pressed enter. Before the music started, Sayoran looked toward Ahiru and said, "You better listen to this."
The music started, so Sayoran began to sing along. The song was about succeeding when it comes to first love. The song was filled with emotion. Ahiru didn't understand the meaning of the song, but Keida was able to catch on. It didn't take a detective for Keida to realize that Sayoran was singing to his twin sister. Keida frowned feeling a dislike toward their bodyguard.
When Sayoran's song ended, Ayumi took the microphone from him and said, "It's my turn to sing." Sayoran sighed and sat in the sofa closest to Ahiru. Ayumi typed in her song selection and then looked toward her friends.
"Enjoy the show darling," cheered Ayumi. Ahiru giggled and Kouji groaned knowing that Ayumi was talking about Ahiru. Ayumi's song was about discovering lost love, but with an upbeat tone. When Ayumi's song ended, she did a small twirl and sat next to Ahiru. Keida decided to sing again and grabbed the microphone once again.
When Keida started to sing, Ayumi tugged on Ahiru's arm making her look at her. Ayumi motioned for Ahiru to follow her outside. Ahiru nodded and left the room with Ayumi.
When outside, Ahiru looked at Ayumi and asked, "So why did you want to go outside?" Ayumi smiled, but it seemed a little sad.
"I'm planning on breaking up with Kouji," confessed Ayumi. Ahiru gasped.
"Are you serious?"
Ayumi nodded and said, "You see us every day and you can tell that we don't get along that well."
"I thought you two were just playing," confessed Ahiru. Ayumi shook her head and said, "Even you can be dense at these matters."
"This would break his heart you know," said Ahiru.
"I know, but there's someone I love more than him."
"Who?"
Ayumi turned red to the cheeks. Ayumi's lips moved but words didn't seem to come out.
"Ayumi?"
"I love…"
The door to their assigned room suddenly opened revealing Kouji. Ayumi gasped as did Ahiru. Kouji crossed his arms at them and said, "The workers are bringing food to the room, so just stay inside unless you need to go to the bathroom." They both nodded and reentered the room making sure to close the door behind them.
Keida had finished his song and sat on the sofa with the others.
"Who sings next?" asked Keida happily. Kouji glanced at Ahiru and Ayumi and sighed. He raised his hand volunteering to sing next. He took the microphone and punched in the song. The song was about how a broken heart can lead to new love. As he sang this song, he kept looking at Ahiru and Ayumi. Keida noticed a small tear trying to slip out of Kouji's eyes. Keida looked toward Ayumi and wondered if Kouji had problems with her.
The song ended, so Kouji sat down on the sofa. Chiri volunteered to sing next happily. Chiri punched in his song still smiling. Keida chuckled when he realized that his long time friend chose the song about a cat that couldn't catch the mouse: a song that they both loved as kids. He noticed that Ahiru was giggling and remembered that Chiri and he sang the song to her when she was sick in bed as kids. Keida smiled at the memory.
When the song ended, Ahiru finally got her turn to sing. She chose her song and waited patiently for the song to start. The song was soothing to the ears and heart. It was a song about never ending friendship. All in the room couldn't help but smile at Ahiru's song.
At the end of the song, Ahiru let out a note that radiated in the room. She lowered the microphone and in turn, the others applauded. Ahiru smiled at her friends and bowed.
It was then that the door opened. Chiri smiled and said, "That must be the food." At the doorway was a man with a cap covering half his face. He had a metal tray of drinks and chips. Chiri welcomed him in and thanked him for the food. The man nodded as he placed the refreshments on the table. The minute the man stood up, he pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it toward Chiri. Chiri gasped and sank back into the sofa. Ayumi screamed and clung to Ahiru's arm. Kouji and Keida jumped back. Sayoran was ready to jump the guy, but the intruder glared toward him and said, "Don't try anything funny or this guy's head is going to be blown off." Sayoran growled and backed down.
"What is this?" demanded Sayoran. The man chuckled.
"Just a little harvest for us pimps. We already took care of the other karaoke rooms and the workers, so we only have you guys left. Now…"
The man glanced at Ahiru and Ayumi with a predator's look.
"Can the two young ladies please leave the room and join the others?"
Ayumi was beginning to cry, while Ahiru glared at the man. The man saw Ahiru's glare and licked his lips.
"You must be pretty feisty. I'm going to have fun popping your cherry," stated the man. Ahiru gave a look of disgust. Sayoran glared at the man and screamed, "Don't you dare touch her!" The man sighed and directed his gun at Sayoran. He shot Sayoran's leg making him cry out in pain.
"Better your leg than the guy's head," mocked the man as Sayoran gripped his bleeding leg. The man directed his gaze back at Ahiru and Ayumi.
"Now get going girls or do you want to witness your friends' execution?"
Ahiru and Ayumi stood up. They turned away toward the door. Ahiru glanced at Ayumi and whispered, "You'll be fine." Ayumi whispered Ahiru's name. Ahiru suddenly shoved Ayumi to the side toward Kouji making her gasp. Ahiru then turned around quickly and ran at the man. The man gasped and pointed his gun at her.
"Are you crazy bitch?"
The man pulled the trigger sending another bullet flying. Ahiru ducked as she ran. The bullet flew pass her barely missing her head. Ahiru grabbed a glass cup and threw it at the man's face. The glass made contact to his face and shattered. The man screamed as the broken shards sank into his face making his face a bloody mess. He fell to his knees screaming in pain.
Ahiru panted and gasped when she heard running footsteps coming toward the room.
"Shut the door!" screamed Ahiru. Kouji slammed the door shut and, with Ayumi's help, shoved one of the sofas in front of the door. On the other side of the door were banging noises.
"Open the door!"
The banging was followed by the sound of bullets hitting the door. Ayumi screamed as she fell to her knees. Keida and Kouji pressed themselves against the sofa just to hold the door closed. Sayoran pulled out his phone to call for reinforcements, while tying his tie around his bleeding leg. Ahiru went to Chiri, who was still frozen in fear, and shook him.
"Chiri?"
Chiri looked at Ahiru saying her name. Chiri's eyes suddenly widen and pushed Ahiru onto the sofa. As he did this, a bullet flew and impaled him in the side. Ahiru's eyes widen and saw that the man was pointing a gun at them. Sayoran knocked the man out from behind with the microphone panting.
"I called for reinforcements, so we just have to stay here until they arrive," informed Sayoran. Ahiru nodded and then noticed the blood on the side of Chiri's lips. Ahiru pushed him onto the sofa and saw the massive blood escaping from his wound.
"Chiri, no."
Sayoran saw this and gritted his teeth.
"With that amount of blood loss, he could be dead before the reinforcements arrive," said Sayoran. Sayoran cursed under his breath as he sat on the floor and gripped his wounded leg. Ahiru stared at the blood from Chiri's wound as the sound of bullets rang from outside and her friends cried. Ahiru remembered the Shinigami's words about one of them dying. Ahiru shook her head. She immediately removed Chiri's shirt and then her own making Sayoran gasp and blush.
"What are you doing?" asked Sayoran in shock. Ahiru pressed the fabrics against Chiri's wound making him gasp in pain.
"I'm trying to stop the bleeding the best I can."
"There's no way. He's a goner," stated Sayoran. Ahiru shook her head with hot tears running down her face.
"I won't let him die!" screamed Ahiru. Ahiru pressed harder making Chiri cringe. As she pressed against his wound, she leaned her head on his chest begging him to live. Tears ran down Chiri's eyes as he whispered Ahiru's name.
In the sky above the Karaoke bar, the Shinigami watched. The Shinigami opened the book and saw the name "Chiri Suwa" written in blood with the cause of death being blood loss from a gun wound. The Shinigami glanced back at the mirror like image of Ahiru through the roof and sighed.
"There's no way she could prevent his death even if she remembered my warning," muttered the Shinigami. The Shinigami glanced back at the book. His eyes widen when he noticed that Chiri's name was beginning to disappear from the page.
"What's happening?" exclaimed the Shinigami. The Shinigami could hear the sirens of the police cars approaching. He looked back at Ahiru and saw that Chiri, though unconscious, was still alive. He shook his head.
"He should be dead already."
Ahiru kept pressure on the wound praying for Chiri to live. It was then that the door finally opened by force, but the criminals weren't the ones who entered, but the police force that Sayoran contacted. The policemen assisted them out of the room, except for Ahiru, Chiri, and Sayoran, who were injured.
"We already took care of the crooks, so you stay here until the paramedics come," ordered one of the policemen. Ahiru nodded and said, "Please hurry."
Ahiru's hands were soaked in blood, but she refused to loosen her hold on the wound.
It didn't take long for the paramedics to come. They took Sayoran and Chiri into separate ambulances. Ahiru rode with Chiri with a blanket over her shoulders. She stared at Chiri as the paramedics tried to stop the bleeding, while also giving him oxygen. One of the paramedics placed a hand on Ahiru's shoulder making her look up at him.
"You did the right thing in keeping the pressure on the wound, so just relax," said the paramedic in a soothing voice. Ahiru nodded gripping the blanket around her.
When at the hospital, Chiri was rushed to intensive care. He was operated on to remove the bullet, but then a problem developed. The doctor that was doing the operation approached Ahiru and said, "We removed the bullet, but we don't have any of his blood type and with lack of blood, he will die." Ahiru turned pale as the Shinigami's words echoed in her mind. She shook her head and said, "You need blood type O, right?" The doctor nodded. Ahiru held her wrist up and said, "We have the same blood type, so use my blood to save him."
"But you would have to give an impossible amount of blood to save him. It could kill you," warned the doctor. Ahiru smiled with determination in her eyes.
"If it's for a friend then I am willing to die."
The doctor sighed knowing that Ahiru was not going to back down. He motioned her to follow him, so they could prepare her for the blood transfusion.
Ahiru entered the same room where Chiri was lying in. There was barely any life left in him. She lay on a vacant metal table and allowed the doctors to press the needle in her arm vein. The needle was attached to a tube that connected to another needle that was inserted into Chiri's arm. With a little pressure, the blood began to flow down the tube and into Chiri's arm. As the blood drained, Ahiru felt her body begin to get cold. Ahiru took in a deep breath and closed her eyes refusing to stop the blood transfusion that could save Chiri's life.
The Shinigami watched from above. He looked back in his book. Chiri's name had completely vanished. The Shinigami smirked.
"So she changed his destiny. No human has done that before."
He shut the book with one hand and chuckled.
"She may be a good way for me to kill some boredom."
After two whole hours of questioning, Keida, Ayumi, and Kouji finally got to go to the hospital where their friends were being kept at. Keida ran to the closest doctor and demanded where Chiri and Ahiru was.
"They're both in the recovery room," answered the doctor.
"Both? Wait a minute, why is Ahiru in there too?" asked Keida in confusion. The doctor smiled and said, "She gave a lot of her blood to save your friend."
"Blood?"
The doctor nodded.
"With the amount she gave, she should have died. It's a miracle that she's alive."
Keida gulped and asked, "Can I see them?" The doctor nodded and began to lead Keida, Ayumi, and Kouji to the room.
When they entered the room, they saw Chiri and Ahiru sleeping on different beds. Keida smiled and ran in between the beds. He saw them breathing and sighed in relief.
"Thank God, you guys are alive," said Keida with tears in his eyes. Ayumi and Kouji ran to Ahiru saying her name. Ayumi held Ahiru's hand with tears in her eyes.
"You were really brave. You saved us," whispered Ayumi. Kouji nodded in agreement. He placed a hand on Ayumi's shoulder making her look at him.
"I'm fine with staying as friends," said Kouji. Ayumi smiled and nodded. She then placed Ahiru's hand on her cheek trying to exchange warmth.
Outside of the room, Sayoran with a brace on his leg leaned on the wall next to the door. He peeked at Ahiru's sleeping form and smiled. He clenched his fist to his chest.
When I get stronger, I will come back for you.
Sayoran then limped away down the hall.
The doctor looked at his watch and said, "You three should go home for today." Ayumi and Kouji nodded and left the room. Keida remained by Ahiru's bed side.
"Please let me stay here for the night. As her twin, I can't bear to be apart from her," said Keida. The doctor smiled and nodded. The doctor left the room making sure to close the door behind him. Keida held Ahiru's hand and rubbed his thumb on it. He felt her warmth begin to return. Keida remembered them as kids when Ahiru was sick and he would always hold her hand. Keida lifted her hand and planted a small kiss on it. Keida's eyes widen and shook his head. Keida rested his head next to Ahiru's sleeping form. He stared at her face and felt his heart begin to race. He closed his eyes with flushed cheeks and thoughts of his sister.
