Chapter 6: The Moment of Truth
{Hokuto's P.O.V.}
So it was clear; Hokuto's life was nothing but one mistake that led to another mistake. It was a vicious cycle that she couldn't break, and had actually long ago accepted such a thing. She did as she pleased, knowing that whatever choice she made, no matter what it be, would lead to disaster for her. Subaru made have led a guilt ridden, soul sucking existence, but Hokuto was damned. So she had learned to love the misery in her life so that no one would realize just how truly unhappy she was with her existence, and it worked; nobody saw past the smokescreen and she liked it best that way. All she could really do was hate herself for allowing herself to trust people again. The last time she did that, well, she died
However, someone figuring her out, someone pulling the mask away was something that terrified her. When her feelings were laid out on the line, when she was expected to bare a soul she wasn't even sure she had anymore, that would send her running as far as she possibly could. And that was what had brought her to the place he was now. Subaru's. She sucked in a breath and slowly knocked on the door.
{Subaru's P.O.V}
Humanity; Subaru hated it and he had spent nearly the past two centuries, trying to get rid of it, and now it was all back. All of the pain, the suffering, the guilt, it had begun to slowly eat at his insides. He despied it with his very being; and it was all because she was back. She couldn't stay dead. No, she had to come back and get herself killed again. Wonderful. Now he had a hangover; dammit. Falling for Seishirou had been his biggest mistake. He should have known by how easily things seemed to come with him; that things wouldn't turn out well for Subaru, and surely enough, they didn't. He had never been there. Seishirou had been free to return to his "kind" side any time he had wanted, but he hadn't wanted to. In return he had died. Another part of Subaru died with him. If there was one thing in this world that Subaru enjoyed more than almost anything, it was the Sakurazukamori tasks. But, and he would never admit this out loud, he still had those pesky feelings of guilt; somewhere deep inside.
Emerald eyes turned towards the door; it was her that much was obvious. He simply ignored it and went back to bed.
{Hokuto's P.O.V.}
After fifteen minutes of waiting outside Subaru's door; Hokuto returned home. Home. It sounded so strange to say. So instead she picked up the crystal ball and stared at it, "I wonder what your for." A small light burst out; blinding her and by the time she realized what was happening it was far to late to stop it.
"Yuzuriha-chan!"
{Yuzuriha's P.O.V.}
Yuzuriha's head turned much faster than humanly possible; she all but bolted to Hokuto's room and the sight before her was gut-wrenching. The room was originally a dark blue; now it looked like a child had gotten into red paint and went crazy. In the middle of it was what looked like Hokuto's clothing; covered in the same red substance. But she was nowhere to be found. And upon closer inspection it wasn't paint…but blood. Yuzuriha's eyes widened in shock before she screamed.
No! She had to calm down, call the police..no could the police even help with this? When not even she knew what happened? Who else was there? Oh yeah, there was him if he cared enough to come. She immediately picked up her ceel-phone and dialed the necessary numbers before waiting. The ringing seemed to go on forever.
"Subaru? I need you here now, something's happened."

Yes, I'm sorry it's short; it looks much longer on WORD!
