~3rd Till Last~

Yuka's POV…

Lots have changed since my brother's friends and I were whisked away to Heavenly Host Elementary. I have learned to act more like a 14-year-old rather than a 4-year-old, and I've also learned to rely more on myself than on others. But the only thing that hasn't changed is my memories… Kizami, his voice still echoes in my brain as if they were presently being said. But I could never tell anyone that. I could never tell anybody about what events occurred when I was separated, I especially can't tell Satoshi… I'd rather just keep this to myself, then end up as a burden to big brother… But it's okay! I'm safe here at home; I know his voice is just me being paranoid.

I'm going to kill you… I'm going to kill you, Yuka! Hey!

I'm sprinting…

Yuukaa…?

The pain in my stomach is unbearable…

Come out, come out wherever you are!

I'm running out of breath…

Be a good girl, Yuka, and come with me…

He's catching up to me…!

LITTLE… SISTER!

My eyes jolted open and I sat up, covered in sweat.

'Geez, it's almost like I was actually running!' Breath puffed from my mouth and I raised my arm to wipe away the salty liquid dripping from my hairline.

"Gosh, what time is it?" I unwrapped myself from my bed sheets and lagged to the kitchen on the main floor. I yawned, rubbing my eyes while trudging down the stairs. I turned a left corner and found myself in front of an oven with a built-in digital clock. 10:15, it read.

"CRAP! It's already 10?! Why didn't anyone wake me up?!" I darted up the stairs once I concluded that I was 3 hours late to class. I threw on my Kisaragi Academy Junior High uniform on and tore a comb through my hair. I skidded back downstairs and jammed my feet into the white shoes that I wear every morning and flew out the door. I jogged down the street only to feel an acute pain in my chest and lower abdomen.

"Ahg! Not this again… I ran for too long." I stopped and slouched up against a stop sign I had come to.

'I may be home safe again… but Heavenly Host still took its toll on me.' I leaned my head back, and gently slipped oxygen in through my nose and out my mouth hoping that by doing this, the sharp pains would subside. Fortunately, it did and I continued on my way to school.

It took me about 20 minutes to finally reach the front entrance to the Junior High I attended. Breathless, and sloppily dressed, I swung the doubled doors open and paced my way to the front office. The two secretaries, busy typing away on their computers, looked up from their screens and examined my appearance. I awkwardly stood in silence until the woman closest to me tapped a pen on a piece of paper.

"Please explain the cause of your tardiness this morning, Miss Mochida." She said almost emotionlessly. I squeezed my hands together behind my back and drilled the tip of my toe into the floor.

"W-well, No one woke me up this morning… but you see, it's normal for my older brother to rouse me before 6 so I would have time to get dressed and get to school, but oddly that didn't happen…" The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes.

"So you slept in…" She said as she began to scribble down that hideous lie. I opened my mouth to clearly state that it was NOT because I had slept in, but the second secretary had stopped me before I could say anything and shooed me off to class. I huffed in my place and turned out of the door seeing as how there was no way I could win this argument without getting in some sort of trouble.

I strolled down the hallway, annoyed and angry. As I approached my 3rd period class, I stopped at the sliding door to do some straightening of my clothing and hair before I entered.

'Goodness, Yuka! You're a mess!' I thought to myself as I struggled to untangle a knot hiding just underneath the top layer of my hair. After and endless battle, the indestructible clump of hair came loose and I slid open the classroom door. Most of the students paid no attention to my arrival and continued to their work, while my close friend Mitzu, upon looking at my sudden appearance brightened her expression and waved wildly in my direction. I raised my index finger to my lips hoping to hush her excited state. She nodded and proceeded to write on her worksheet, while I snuck up to the teacher's desk to ask for my own paper. The young male instructor kindly nodded and handed me what I needed to get started, I smiled back at him and navigated my way back to my desk to sit down.

The day had passed at last and I headed back home the way I came this morning only to meet Satoshi half way. He was walking a normal pace with his hands in his pockets and his back facing me. I stalked quietly behind him.

'It's time for some revenge!' I thought to myself evilly. As quick as the wind I dashed to his back and put my mouth to it. I blew hot air directly on his spine, and watched the chills run up and down his muscular arms. He jumped a full 360 and stumbled to his knees, I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

"Hehe, did I catch you off guard, mister?" I said with a mischievous smile. He balanced himself back to his feet and sighed.

"I guess so! Why aren't you at home resting? Your symptoms of Lupus were acting up again, so I didn't bother to wake you." He said as he put the back of his hand against my cheek, I brushed him off in protest.

"Big brother… I'm fine, really! You shouldn't worry about me. And you could have at least left a note!" I said, stamping my foot. Satoshi chuckled and ruffled the hair on my head.

"Sorry, Yuka. I guess I was in a hurry as well this morning." He said, moving his hand to the back of his neck. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Really? You're usually never in a rush…" I said, holding my chin. He laughed once more and stated his reasoning.

"Well, I had to meet someone. And it was quite unexpected since she called me saying I was to be at the school before 7…" I nodded in understanding, and then smiled.

"Was this 'someone' Naomi?" Satoshi turned away hoping to hide the intense blush scattered about his face, I giggled.

"So it was! Hehe, well I won't talk anymore about the subject. Let's get home." We nodded to each other in agreement and strode down the sidewalk to where are home would soon appear.

Ah! You… You need to… get away from here… Right now! Hurry!

But… if I don't do something about your injuries, you're going to die! I'll just… apply pressure, okay? Stay with me!

No! Please, just… go! *Hack* *Sputter*

He tried to protect me… but I didn't do the same in return…He ended up dying. Painfully. After Kizami kicked me, I fell unconscious. But I could still hear the blood curling screams that boy gave out, and the slosh of his organs hitting the ground.

"I'm so sorry… that I couldn't save you…" I say every night hoping, that maybe the nameless boy I neglected to protect, could hear me.

It's

Not

Your

Fault…

Yuka.

Taaaadaaaa! Here's your 3rd chapter! Hope you all liked it 3 and just for the record, I'm giving Yuka a permanent disease called 'Lupus'. It's developed over time from a kidney infection, from which you get when you hold in your urine. (you see what I'm getting at)
so get ready, 'cause this story is gonna get interesting!
