Last chapter:
"Alma." I whispered and my eyes started blurring a bit. I saw Allen mouth one word to me before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell sideways and let go of Alma who fell right beside of him. More blood pooled on the snow and soon the pure white colour was tainted with a crimson red.
"Moyashi!" I screamed and ran towards the two lying on the ground tears streaming out of my eyes.
Recalling Allen's last word…
"Allen!" Kanda yelled and fell right beside the two figures. A female passerby walked in on the scene and gasped. She quickly yanked out her phone and called 911. Kanda was torn as he looked at both Allen and Alma. He wasn't going to lose both of them. Not now. Kanda felt tears slide down his face and he froze. It's been six years since he had last cried. He reached up with a shaking hand and wiped at the wetness carefully and stared at it. He always hid his emotions away but now…somehow, they just slipped right through the walls in his mind.
More tears fell from his eyes as Kanda gave a low growl and wiped them away. He tried so hard and it took so long to get to the point where he could choose whether to show emotion or not. He wasn't going to ruin it now. No matter how hard Kanda tried, he couldn't get his tears to stop. He stared at the two people lying in the snow hardly breathing. Bit by bit, Kanda could feel his steel walls slowly melting until there were too many holes for it to be useful. Just imagine if it was raining outside and all you had was a roof above your head and that roof had a hundred or more holes in it. Not so useful now is it?
Kanda reached out both hands to touch each boys face. One was significantly colder than the other. Uncomfortably cold, too cold to be alive. Kanda dipped his head down as his whole body shook.
'Please…please don't die.' Kanda gripped his hands into fists and slammed the ground.
The rest happened in a blur. All Kanda could remember was that the paramedics asked him questions and the only thing he did was nod or shake his head. They gave him worried looks and one of the female paramedics checked his temperature if he was burning up. The next time Kanda focused back to the present was when he was seated on the waiting room chair. He jerked up and stood on his feet.
'Allen. Alma. Allen. Alma.' These two names kept repeating over and over in his head as he ran towards the reception desk.
"Where are they?" Kanda almost yelled as he watched the woman flinch in shock. She had dark brown eyes and slightly curly brown hair. Kanda looked down at her name tag and that read 'Miranda'.
"W-who?" She stuttered nervously as she gave a small nervous laugh that was hardly audible.
"Allen and Alma!" Now Kanda screamed as he balled his hands into fists. His patience was wearing thin as she looked at him confusedly before realizing she should search their names on the computer. He growled loudly as he clenched his fists tighter to stop himself from punching the woman.
"They're both in room 216. Go down this hallway and take a right-" Miranda stopped when she noticed the raven haired boy wasn't standing in front of her anymore. She looked down the hallway and found the boy running around the corner.
Kanda found the stairs and sprinted up to the second level. He forced himself to slow down and calm down so he looked more collected. He gently eased open the door and looked down the hallway. He followed the signs and soon found the door to their room. Kanda pushed the door open and looked around for the other two boys. He immediately found them each lying down in a bed and he relaxed a bit. Both looked normal now and nothing was hooked onto either of them. No monitors, no IV's, nothing. That could either be good, or bad.
Kanda walked across the white tiled floors and stood in between both beds. The beds were located along the right wall and two windows were found on the right side of the beds, across from the door. There was a sound of a door opening and Kanda turned towards the doctor that was walking in. He wore a white robe like all doctors did; he had black slightly spiky hair and thin framed glasses. His lips were squeezed in a thin line when he looked at Kanda.
"Do you happen to be Kanda?" The doctor asked and Kanda nodded his head.
"I'm Doctor Komui Lee." The doctor gave him a small smile and stretched arm out so they could shake hands. Kanda didn't move a single muscle as he stared at the hand for a few seconds before it retracted back to Komui's side. Komui let out a small cough to hide his embarrassment and continued talking.
"I'm sorry but I have some bad news and I have some good news." Kanda nodded his head telling him to continue.
"One of your friends has died. I think his name was Al-" Kanda froze when he heard the name and looked at his dead friend. Tears brimmed his eyes and he slowly sank down to his knees. Why? Why did it have to be him? Kanda let out a slow breath and forced himself to stop shaking at pinched himself in the thigh to calm down. He wiped away his tears and looked at the doctor. He heard the door open again and looked up with red eyes. The girl looked around his age and had really long black hair that seemed to be tinted with a dark shade of green. She had dark purple eyes and a nice figure.
"Oh, Lenalee." Komui turned around and faced her asking why she was here. Lenalee was wearing scrubs and was just pulling the cap off of her head.
"I finished my shift." She finally noticed the second conscious figure in the room and gave him a small smile before focusing back on Komui.
"Ok, meet me downstairs in the lobby in one hour, Lenalee-chan." He ruffled her hair and kissed her forehead. She scrunched up her face and blushed when Kanda was still watching them.
"Komui-nii-san! There's someone here!" Lenalee whined and pushed away from Komui. Komui gave a depressed huff but let it go for the moment.
"They'll be picking up his body tomorrow." Komui added over his shoulder giving Kanda a sad look and exited the door. Lenalee slowly walked over and checked Allen's vital signs. She wrote something down on the clipboard at the end of the bed and Kanda dropped to the floor again. He sat with his back against Allen's bed as he watched Alma's still form.
"He didn't deserve to die. He didn't do anything wrong." Kanda mumbled but Lenalee still heard. She would have already left but the broken look on Kanda's face made her think of an excuse to stay here a bit longer.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did it happen?" Lenalee's soft voice reached his ears.
"Street shooting." The answer was blunt and dead even to Kanda's ears. Usually when someone would ask him a question he wouldn't answer but now he was too tired to care who he was talking to. Lenalee didn't answer but Kanda knew she heard. He was glad she didn't say anything. It would have been worse if she gave him a stupid answer like "Oh." He internally congratulated her for not pissing him off. Kanda lifted his arm up slowly and fixed Alma's hair unconsciously flinching when he felt the ice-cold skin.
"Were the two of you good friends?" She walked around until she was standing beside Kanda who was still seated on the floor. It looked like she was still checking Allen.
"Yeah. He was my only friend and we did everything together although at some times, I really wanted to kill him and rip his head off." Kanda gave a small chuckle as he remembered the times where Alma would purposefully piss him off so Kanda would fall to one of his pranks. Lenalee smiled at being able to make Kanda laugh. She finished 'checking' Allen and placed the clipboard back at the end of the bed.
"Allen's your friend too, right?" Lenalee asked lightly and hoped that she didn't strike a nerve. Some people were really sensitive and could get mad over one wrong word. She was surprised that she even got this far in the first place. Kanda tensed up for a second before he relaxed.
"Yeah…he is." Kanda frowned and stopped playing with Alma's hair. Lenalee checked the clock on the wall and found that their conversation lasted fifteen minutes and she still didn't change out of her scrubs yet.
"Good-bye…um…"
"Kanda." He looked at her and told her his name.
"Good-bye, Kanda. I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled and left for the door. She knew he would come back. Alma will be gone by the time he comes in but he'll visit Allen. Lenalee closed the door and found her brother walking down the hall with one of the other doctors talking about something before the doctor left and waved good-bye. Lenalee arrived beside Komui right as he looked up from his clipboard in his hand.
"Nii-san, I have a favour to ask."
"Anything you want, Lenalee-chan."
"Can I be the one to watch over Allen?" Lenalee gave him cute puppy dog eyes. Komui fidgeted under her gaze.
"But what about-"
"LENALEE!" A loud yell disrupted their conversation and both figures sweatdropped.
"-him." Komui finished after he sighed out loud.
"Don't worry, I can care for both." Lenalee gave a forced smile and the corner of her mouth started twitching.
"Are you-" Komui was cut off again when the same person screamed Lenalee's name again. Lenalee's smile turned into a scowl and she shouted back.
"SHUT UP AND BE QUIET!" Lenalee huffed but smiled at her brother again.
"…um…sure if you really want, but don't stress yourself ok?~" Komui gave her a big hug before Lenalee could kick him and Lenalee's kicks are extremely painful. She waved good-bye and walked to the room where the screaming was coming from.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lenalee shouted and instantly the shouting quieted down.
Once Lenalee left the room Kanda looked back at Alma. Everyone died, some earlier than others. Kanda gave a depressed sigh and pulled the blankets of Alma's face. He couldn't stand to see it anymore. His best friend since he was a toddler was now dead. Kanda gave Alma's hair one last pat before looking at Allen.
"Moyashi." Kanda could feel irritation come from him in waves for reasons he didn't know. The longer he stood there, the more irritated and angry he became. Suddenly Allen's hand twitched and Kanda narrowed his eyes. 'That's why'.
"I know you're awake, moyashi." Kanda growled and slapped Allen lightly on the head.
"Hey!" Allen's eyes flew open and he pouted while holding his head. Kanda rolled his eyes and grabbed a chair and set it down next to Allen's bed and sat on it.
"Are you okay?" Kanda asked somewhat begrudgingly but also somewhat worried. Allen gave a sweet smile that clearly expressed how happy he was about Kanda caring for him.
"I'm fine. Although I don't think I can walk for a while." Both boys looked at Allen's left leg which was currently in a cast.
"What happened?" Kanda looked back at Allen as he asked his question.
"In general, or to my leg?"
"Your leg."
"Shot."
"Ouch." Kanda winced knowing that guns did hurt a lot. Allen rolled his eyes but kept quiet.
"Do you know when you can leave?" Kanda asked.
"I overheard-"
"It's called eavesdropping, moyashi."
"Fine, I eavesdropped on the doctor's conversation and he said that I would probably be able to leave in four days or so." Kanda didn't reply but instead seemed to stare at Allen. Allen fidgeted and looked away. Kanda kept staring unknowingly to him since he was lost in his thoughts. Allen waved a hand in front of Kanda's face but he still didn't react.
"Kanda." No reply.
"Bakanda." Still no reply.
"You still alive in there?" Allen was about to poke him but suddenly Kanda fell over and landed on the ground.
"Kanda!" Allen bolted up in bed but sadly unable to help his friend. Suddenly Allen heard a noise. 'Is that…snoring?' Allen tilted his head in confusion so he listened more carefully and laughed. Kanda was asleep. He rang the bell for assistance and a nurse came in not even one minute later.
"Yes?"
"Can you help my friend?" Allen asked and pointed at Kanda on the floor. The female nurse finally noticed the boy lying on the ground and called a male nurse to help her lift Kanda.
'Sleep well, Kanda.'
The end! For this chapter at least. I want to do a one-shot so if any of you guys have an idea for one (or more), please tell me! R&R thank you!
