Chapter 30
~Sakura's POV~
Yue held my hand for a while then when I was about to ask for him to let go of my hand, he suddenly pinned me on the wall, keeping both of my hands above me on the wall. He gently touched my cheek and rubbed his thumb on it, making me feel all nervous and making my heart accelerate.
"Umm…"
"Shush, little angel", he said and then he suddenly leaned towards me.
'You wouldn't like what will happen next', I remembered him say. So this was what he was talking about! I don't like what he's doing at all! I tried releasing myself from him but he was strong. I don't think I can get away from him… ever… after all physical education was my weakest subject.
I think all these guys are perverts! Why are Yuu's friends standing there while looking at a girl in trouble? I guess you cannot trust your friend's friends. When I thought that he's going to kiss me, I closed my eyes and prayed that someone comes by and stop this, but then I felt something warm on my neck. I snapped my eyes open and found all the other four guys standing, facing their back to me and Yue. Yue's breath caressed my neck and it made my face turn hot.
"I won't do anything to you… I wouldn't dare touch a girl without her permission", he whispered to me. I wanted to believe him but the way he's acting is making me not trust him. "Sorry, but I have to do this to get him…", he whispered. He's reading my mind! And who's him?
"Yue, acting like that is creeping us out", I heard the childlike-voiced guy.
I saw the twins nod and beside them was the angel who didn't even do something to save me from this harassment!
"Sorry, Sakura, it's Yue we're facing. I cannot go against him since it's him", the angel said.
"And you call yourself an angel?", I said annoyed. I feel like I'm being played with.
"I'm a fallen angel, my abilities are limited", he said calmly.
"Now I know why you became a fallen angel", I mumbled.
I felt Yue lick me on my neck and it gave me an uncomfortable feeling. "He became a fallen because of me", Yue said.
"I thought you don't touch girls without permission!", I said angrily and embarrassed.
"Hm…", Yue said and smiled at me. "It's irresistible. You smell sweet and on top of that, you're giving me a cute expression which is turning me on to the point of making me want to drink your…".
I glared at him, though I'm a failure when it comes to hating people. "Blood?", I continued what he said. "Gee, this is the first time I've become irresistible to a guy, especially to someone who's good looking enough to see cute looking girls chasing after him", I said angrily. I know I'm not attractive yet he says such embarrassing things.
"Hmm… jealous? And thanks for the compliment, Sakura", he said.
I sighed and waited for him to finish what he want so he can release me and I can punch him as hard as I could.
After that thought, Yue released me and with that, I slapped him, but slapping was not enough for me since they played with me especially in a hospital! What he did was embarrassing. He looks calm after the slap and I took my chance to punch him but then I was stopped by his palm. He turned me around and whispered, "A slap, I'll take, a punch? I won't. Take care". He opened Len's door and pushed me inside. Before I can say anything he closed the door. I opened the door again and found no one.
I feel like I'm in a dream… I closed the door.
I looked at Kahoko and found her crying beside Len's bed. I went near her and patted her back as to comfort her.
"It's all my fault", I heard Kahoko say with a shaky voice.
"What?", I asked. I think I heard her wrong… how is it her fault?
"If only I didn't call him…", Kahoko said, taking Len's hand and holding it.
"It's not your fault… it's not like you were the stupid driver who was driving the truck. Don't blame yourself", I said.
"But…", Kahoko cried more.
Looking at her is making me cry. I feel like I'm in a drama scene where the guy got an accident in front of the girl.
I noticed something on her finger… a ring! So Len confessed? But why is it this way? Why does he need to disappear when he already have the chance to be with her… forever.
"Len… wake up!", I said loudly. As if it'll wake him up…
Looking at Len made me cry even more. Len isn't that close to me but he has became a part of me… he became a friend of mine. He was someone important. He should have a long life to spend with Kahoko. He doesn't look pleasant but he's kind on the inside, he's just not good at expressing himself.
"I'm sorry Len… if only I didn't call you, you wouldn't be here sleeping… dying… if only I didn't let you go at that moment and just told you how I feel instead of being so dense..,", Kahoko said.
"Kahoko…"
"I'm happy of what happened earlier… I felt like it was a date. I was surprised that you gave me a ring… I was happy that I wanted to cry. But now I'm crying because of what happened to you. I wish it was me that got hit by a truck… damn that truck…"
I sat on the ground as Kahoko continued. I wiped my tears away but it kept on flowing. I wouldn't want either of them to get into an accident…
"Hey, do you remember when I first met you? You gave me a bad first impression. Instead of helping me and Ryoutarou, you just acted coldly. Then there was the time when I first heard you play the violin, you looked like you were angry at me for listening outside the window without your permission but I was happy. You made me like music. Ave Maria became my favorite ever since then… at Shouko's villa; we played Ave Maria together as a duet… I want to play with you again, Len", Kahoko cried more.
I listened to her encounters with Len. It seems that they were already destined to be together with every encounter. But I don't understand fate… fate can be cruel…
I looked at Len. He opened his eyes slowly. I wanted to tell Kahoko but I can't bring myself to talk. We both listened to Kahoko and I saw him smile.
"… I want to visit the dolphins with you again… I want to listen to you play for the dolphins…", Kahoko cried keeping her head down.
Len's smile disappeared and I saw him shed a tear.
"Why did you give me a ring?", Kahoko asked, still not aware of Len.
God! I wish I could disappear for a moment to give them some time alone… And I wish I can move so I can call a doctor to see Len's condition! I tried my best to move but for some reasons I can't bring myself to move even an inch. What the hell is wrong with my body?
"So guys… will… stay away… from you", Len said, merely a whisper.
Kahoko lifted her head. "Len!", Kahoko said. "So that's the reason for the ring", Kahoko pouted.
Len laughed. I didn't know he can laugh… he looked good despite the cast and all.
"You're so noisy", Len said.
"S-sorry", Kahoko said. She blushed and wiped her tears.
Len coughed and I knew that he shouldn't be talking but I still can't bring my body to move so I can stop him.
"I should call the doctor!", Kahoko said and stood up. Before she can leave, Len grabbed her hand. "What? I need to call a doctor, Len", Kahoko said, she looked worried.
"Stay…", Len ordered.
Kahoko stared at Len then sat back to where she was. I'll call a doctor! I wanted to say but I can't… Can't Kahoko see me?
"But, I need to-"
"I love you Kahoko", Len said. He looked at Kahoko straight in the eye.
I was as surprised as Kahoko. Now I'm embarrassed that I'm here. And why didn't the two of them notice me here?
"I love you too, Len", Kahoko said and held Len's hand with both of her hands.
I smiled. I'm happy for them. They managed to say what they feel.
'That guy in there doesn't have enough time', I remembered what Yue said. Is it really impossible for the doctors to save Len? Can't they be together like in novels? Happily together for the rest of their lives, can't they have it?
"I'm glad that you two are able to say what you two feel", I heard a familiar voice.
I saw Yuu standing near the door. He doesn't look glad at all. He had an unreadable expression on his face. He looked scary with his black polo torn and some blood covered his right hand and there was some on his face. His hair was messy and his eyes were glowing crimson.
"Yuu", Kahoko said, shocked at how Yuu looked.
"I'm sorry", Yuu said and in an instant he was on Len's bed. "I want to end this now", Yuu said. He grabbed all the tubes that was attached to Len and pulled it out making Len shout in pain and making some of Len's blood scatter around the room.
"Len! Yuu stop this!", Kahoko said and tried pulling Yuu away Len. Yuu shoved Kahoko away making Kahoko fall on the floor.
"Listen, I don't want to do this, okay?", Yuu said and on his right hand appeared the scythe he had when we fought Reiga.
"I'm sorry Len", Yuu said and raised the scythe above him. Behind him grew black wings. He's going to aim the scythe at Len!
Len was trying to breath as hard as he could and I couldn't stand the sight of him struggling.
I was scared… I don't like what is happening at all. It all looked like a horror movie all of a sudden. I forced my body to move.
"No!", I shouted and my body moved on its own. I collided with Yuu, making Yuu fall backwards from the bed, bringing me along with him. His scythe got stuck on the wall while his body landed on the ground with me on top of him. He looked surprised seeing me here. It's like he didn't see me beside Kahoko on the floor.
"What do you think you're doing? I know you want Kahoko but killing wouldn't solve it!", I said grabbing his polo shirt with both my hands. I'm starting to feel fear and my hands started to shake.
"Me?", I heard Kahoko and then she fainted. I looked at Len on the bed and found him not moving anymore… he's dead.
"What I'm doing is right", Yuu said.
"No it's not! You just killed Len!", I said, my voice was weak. I started to cry again.
"I need to! I need one of them to die soon! I need a reason to turn back time and not get involve with their lives. I need to turn back time and not let myself be involved with either of them till they're together. I need someone to kill me now so everything will end….", Yuu said, he's shaking again like earlier. His crimson eyes were dead serious.
"But… it's not good to-"
"I just noticed it recently. As long as I'm either with Len or Kahoko before they met, one of them will die. I don't know why but it always happens in any dimension I go. I always end up with either one of them and one dies. I want to change it. In the previous dimensions I've been, it's always Kahoko who dies… because I was infatuated with her thinking that she's Sarah, but now I understand, I won't make the same mistake after I turn back time, because I'll be gone. One of them is gonna die, I saw it before. I already warned Len about this that's why he ended up misunderstanding me earlier. I saw it again after the performance. It's either Len or Kahoko who's going to end up hit by the truck. It's all my fault!", he said. I don't understand…
His scythe suddenly fell from the wall. He took it and gave it to me. "I said I'll use you and it's for this time. I want you to kill me", he said. I pushed the scythe back at him and shook my head. "Sakura, please", he plead. His eyes slowly turned back to their usual color. I still refused even though he managed to make me hold the scythe. "Or else I'll kill you", he said coldly and suddenly his cold eyes became crimson red again.
Because of fear, I couldn't move my body and I couldn't bring myself to shout for help.
Suddenly I was lifted from Yuu's body. Yuu looked as if he's fine and has nothing to worry.
"Game over, Yuu, give up", I heard Yue say behind me. He was the one carrying me… "You did say Kahoko isn't Sarah, so don't do any more damage than this", Yue said glaring at Yuu.
"You just killed Len", Yuki, the fallen angel, said. He was beside Len, feeling Len's pulse.
"The room already has a barrier stronger than you, Yuu", one of the twins said.
Yue gently laid me beside the door and faced Yuu. Yue raised his hand in front of him and he lifted it slowly. I saw Yuu's body lift up until he was standing on the air without anything supporting him. My father, Seiran, the magician, Yuki, the fallen angel, one of the twins and Yue surrounded him and beneath him a magic circle appeared.
"You're not going to fight back anymore?", my father asked, pointing something sharp towards Yuu.
"I'm tired", Yuu answered, not bothering to move.
"It's only natural. We've been fighting you ever since last night", Yuki said while on his hand there's a light that appeared out of nowhere. Last night? Fighting? I don't understand… "We too are tired", Yuki said.
"If you want Kahoko…". Yue shook his head. "Sarah… you didn't need to do this and you know it", Yue said, black wings growing from his back.
Someone covered my eyes…
"It's not her that I wanted…", I heard Yuu say.
'I knew you wouldn't kill me because you're too kind. So it's going to be your father who's going to kill me since he has the power to do so. I'm sorry. I still used you to get to your father. I hope you'll be happy after this', I heard Yuu's voice in my head. 'Thanks for the happy moments I've spent with you. I really loved the times we were together'
I felt a strong wind. Everyone in the room became noisy, I couldn't understand what they were saying, and then I heard an explosion then a groan of pain echoed. A sudden flash of light came to my vision. 'I love you', I heard then my head started to ache; I couldn't stand the pain and everything went blank.
Thanks for reading!
This is the second to the last chapter :)
