Hey so um, college is around the corner for me. Wish me luck in getting into an awesome college! I decided I want to be a teacher, and to teach in Japan for a short while. So I'm not going to go on much more, time to start chapter 7. (Hopefully I can redo the whole series, cause I said last chapter was chapter 7, when in fact it was chapter 6.)

Chapter 7

"Mai… What's going on.?" Well I guess Sayuri can't yet understand that there's something other than herself and I here. Not giving me the time to explain our situation to Mai, all I muttered was monsters, as the almost invisible monster leaped into the air, charging down at me. If I were fighting alone, I would have dodged, and ended this battle with 1, maybe 2 swift swings of my blade, but seeing as I was protecting Sayuri I would have to block the hit. Grinding my teeth, I raised my sword to block the attack. The monster struck, the force behind this hit was almost enough to knock me off my feet, but with my golden haired girlfriend behind me, I had no choice but to try and push the monster back.

A shriek came from behind me, was there a second monster for me to worry about? Adrenaline surged through me, skillfully I pushed the monsters attack off of me, and threw a quick kick, somehow I knew I hit it in the gut. With a loud thud, it hit the wall down the hall.

"Mai, that thing, why does it look so angry yet so pained?" what did she mean by that? She couldn't possibly..

"Sayuri can you see it?"

"Can't you?"

"Slightly."

Without letting me finish my questioning, the monster came towards us, ripping the floor under it as it moved. With Sayuri too close for me to deflect the monster while not harming her, I did the only thing I could under such a situation, I charged towards the beast. Of coarse, a head on attack would be foolish after seeing its power, something only Yuuichi would think to try. This monster was definitely holding back in our first collision, meaning that I would lose in a head on fight, so my swift attacks would be my savior today. Before collision, I jumped to the right. I was high enough to plant my feet on the wall momentarily, so I push myself off the wall to give me some extra speed and strength. This beast thought it had the best of me, I would show it that I'm not exactly an unskilled fighter.

"Take this!" I shouted as pushed my sword deep into the monster. That must have did it… seeing as my body felt as if all the warmth were being forced out, the aching in my left leg told me as I killed this monster that a piece of me was dying. Out from the monster came sparks of many bright colors, a piece of my inner light. My sword was free and I knew the invisible beast was no more, and I fell to the floor. I did it, I kept Yuuichi out of my head long enough to win this battle. Here I lay on the floor, losing consciousness and there's a warm sticky wetness leaking from me, blood? Who cares. My golden haired beauty has just ran over and fell to my side.

"Mai! Mai-Chan! Mai!" tears fell down her face and onto mine. Don't cry Sayuri, I'll be ok, I always am. If I could speak, those would be the words I would tell her. The truth however is that it would have been a lie, I am always torn between 2 loves, and the fact that I will eventually hurt and possibly lose both of them.

This moonlit hallway, have I ever told anyone I love it here? The scene is so peaceful, here I can remember such an innocent time. In my childhood Yuuichi and I would hide and find each other, but I was to short for him to see in the field so I had to wear bunny ears. This made me smile a little. In this beautiful night, as my vision grew more blurry, and my pains began to take over, I saw my beautiful Sayuri. She has always been here for me, even in a time like this. As I black out completely in a scary dark area, where I float aimlessly, I see my beautiful Yuuichi, arms extended… Why am I so possessive?

Cut! Now here's one last little story before I get back to the main one. Guess who? Who else but Shiori. Enjoy!

Here I lay in this bed of mine, staring up at the ceiling all I could see was that hallway where Mai-Senpai and Yuuichi were hugging. The weird thing was that she fit so perfectly into Yuuichi's arms. I also fit into his arms, I could tell. I button his jacket up so that it is on me completely and I hug myself in it. This smells exactly like Yuuichi, a mix of very masculine colognes, not too strong. It's as if Yuuichi is hugging me and I feel so happy in this instance. I know he loves Mai-Senpai, Why couldn't he love me the same way? Am I way less pretty than Mai-Sen…..Mai, I wont address her respectfully anymore. I know Mai is everything a guy could want, but I'm ready to throw myself at Yuuichi, and do anything he wants…everything he wants.

"Shiori! Dinner!" Yeah… Like dinner would make this hole in my chest go away. There is a major aching in my heart, and for the life of me I can't squeeze this jacket tight enough to close it.

"Go on and eat without me, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight!" Will I eventually get over Yuuichi and find myself a boy whose better, and loves me back? No probably not, there's no way I'd ever get over Yuuichi, he's the perfect guy after all. His chocolate brown hair and eyes, his smooth tanned skin, he has a skinny body yet it has sort of a muscular build. In my world Yuuichi Aizawa is the most beautiful man in the world. Oh god, maybe if I had died earlier this year I wouldn't have gotten the chance to suffer from not having him. As I lay in this bed hugging myself I drift in and out of sleep, and its no surprise who I'm thinking of. I reach for the razor under my pillow, later tonight I'll deal with some of my stress. I don't want to risk Kaori finding out, not only will she yell at me… but Yuuichi will get her bad side. How Yuuichi would yell and scold me if he knew I was having these thoughts, Good thing I have an outer shell which smiles at him while my insides rot from being around him, without actually being with him. With a sudden need to take off this jacket, I unzip it and jump out of bed to hang it up. Before walking back to bed I graze the Pad Yuuichi bought me to fill with my art, and continue back to my bed, where I'll lay awake until everyone falls asleep. As I lay, some of my favorite lyrics pop up in my head "And if I bleed, I'll bleed knowing you don't care. And if I sleep, just to dream of you, I'll wake without you there."

My mind is shrouded with images, ones where Yuuichi and Mai make out passionately and skip off into a world without me. They have two handsome boy's both with chocolate brown hair, one was noticeably more slender, but also slightly taller, like his dad they were both about the same age, probably 15 years old. Right behind Yuuichi's leg was a shy little girl who looked much like her mother, not much older than 4 or 5, holding a kendo stick and just as quiet, she was adorable. Her hair fell down and was a purple color. Then beside her stood the woman responsible…. Even in her older state she was still as beautiful as ever, I hate how I could admit that. Mai is very beautiful.

Then on another side of my head stood me, a working woman, a child who resembled a mixture of my ivory skin and green eyes, with Yuuichi's brown hair… A beautiful girl who was no doubt our child. My husband and I had a wonderful house together, a beautiful daughter, everything was perfect…and then that world collapsed.

How long have I been laying here? Checking the phone Kaori bought for me a month ago that just sits on my bed, I realize its already 1, I quietly get out of bed and walk to my door. Opening it quietly enough as to not alert anyone that I'm awake, I make a quick walk down the dark hall to hear everyone snoring. With a snore from Kaori I had heard everyone snore, and made my way back to my room. Closing the door behind I jumped into my bed and here I was again, all alone and sad. I immediately collapsed on the bed and cried into my pillow, why was I so alone? Why Isn't Yuuichi mine? Is Mai prettier than I?

All of these thoughts swirled in my head, and again I saw Yuuichi and Mai hugging in that hallway, such a romantic scene, I hate to admit it though. Slowly I reach under my pillow, grabbing the one thing that keeps me from feeling nothing at all, I grab the razor and slowly slide I pull it across my wrist. I wince a little as the razor drags across my wrists, this pain is nothing to the dead feeling I get from not having my brown eyed angel. The blood streams down my wrists as the tears stream down my eyes.

Just then my window began to open, a figure who I've loved since the day I met him, just popped in my window. Is he really an angel? "Yuuichi-Kun?"

So Guess what? I got into Buffalo State College in the child education program. All my hard work paid off and now I can get back to writing, this story has one more chapter, where it all ends… or begins. Tell me if you like it and I'll possibly write a new story with your criticisms. Peace and love 3
