She was never loved (Kyo love story) Chapter 12

OMFG!!!! I left you at such a sad part!!! Now, I don't even want to do the interview, because I want you to start reading!! (Oh, and thanks to everyone who reviewed, it makes me happy to know people are in fact reading this!) Oh, and to answer one of the question things in the review, Akito is sickly, but he's been feeling better as of a month ago. His strength was given back to him and mixing that with his rage, he was able to bring down Mist.

Shigure: That's not fair!!! I wanted to do my interview!!

Mist: S-S-S-Shigure…I'M ON THE VERGE OF DYING SO SHUT UP AND WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THIS EPISODE OR SOMETHING!!!!

Shigure: FINE!! I will! Oh, and Mist doesn't on me, because I'm so awesome!!

A/N: I now realize that [on ] this is technically my 13th chapter even though I don't count the first chapter (the info page thing) as really a chapter. But anyway, '13' is an unlucky number and Mist on the verge of dying in this chapter. Isn't that weird how things work out like that?! (I realized this when I finished the chapter)

Kyo's POV (It starts with someone other than Mist!! Finally!)

I felt like I just lost half of myself; like I couldn't live much longer now that Mist's heart stopped beating. My heart just couldn't see the sun ever coming back out. She was gone…right when I figured out that my feelings for her were more than what I originally thought. I loved her.

Maybe it hadn't been Akito's fault entirely. Maybe it was her damn parent's faults, too. They didn't love her, they didn't take care of her, and she got sick so easily. It made perfect sense…except I couldn't bring myself to let Akito slide through this one that easily. He may have been able to slide through Kana's death, or hurting Kisa, or sending Rin to the hospital frequently, but he was the cause of Mist's untimely death. In front of me, I heard Akito laugh.

"So, she's finally dead," Akito mumbled; a smirk on his face. "Finally!"

I shot him a glare. He only laughed at my expression. Then, I stopped glaring at him and sat on the ground. I couldn't be bad when depression was destroying me from the inside out. I gently grabbed Mist's limb body and placed her in my lap. It was then that I noticed all the scars Akito had given to her.

From their last fight, many – if not all – of the scars on her legs and arms had reopened and were bleeding, but it wasn't fatal. There was a new slash going from the top of her neck down to her chest. Numerous cuts were placed all around her face; mostly her cheeks. And the worse of all was a huge gash on her back; probably the fault of the stupid trees Akito punched her into. Before I knew it, my pants were covered in her blood. Tears welled up in my eyes.

Why did she have to go? She can't leave me alone like this…I know how selfish a wish that is, but I don't want heaven – and especially not hell – to take her away from me. For once in my life, I might have been happy! But no, Akito has to ruin everyone's lives. Mist was right; he took all our lives away from us.

A single tear fell on Mist's pale cheek. After a while, more tears dripped off my cheek on to hers. "I'm s-s-so s-s-sorry I couldn't s-s-save you…" I apologized to the girl I loved. "I l-love you, too."

And then, something so weird, so impossible, just happened right then.

A new, soft beat played in my ears. So soft, it may have been nothing at all. But I knew right then what I heard was real…because her warm breath tickled my fingers.

It was only slight breaths, but it was enough to reassure me that she was still alive. I wasn't one to believe in stupid superstitions, but one had to believe this miracle. How could this happen? This amazing miracle? It just wasn't possible. But, possible or not, she was back with me. I bent down my head so my ear was on her heart. It was faint, but it was fluttering short little beats, like it was telling me, 'I'm back, I'm back!!' I had to smile. I turned to face Tohru and Shigure.

"She's alive." I mouthed. Tohru's face went from a depressed I-want-to-commit-suicide look, to an OMG I-couldn't-be-happier crying. Shigure's face lit up and he was telling everyone in hearing range. Luckily, Akito and all those old people who followed him around were back in the estate; probably partying their heads off.

I lifted Mist up again and spun her on to my back with her face lying gently on my shoulder so her breaths now tickled my cheek. I stumbled over to Tohru, just to assure her that I wasn't kidding. When I was spitting distance of them, she pranced straight towards me. The first thing she noticed was her soft breaths. That cheered her right up. Also, a little bit of color was slowly returning to Mist's face.

"It's all thanks to you that she's alive," Tohru told me, but I didn't really understand what she was talking about. "You cried over her and something on your face told me you were begging her dearly that she should stay alive. You pulled her out of the darkness." Tohru's words touched me greatly, but I obviously wasn't gonna tell her that.

Another person caught my eye; he was trying to push through many people as politely as possible. I knew at an instant that it was Hatori; probably coming to check on Mist. There was sweat on his brow; the tension must have gotten to him as well. He pulled out a stethoscope. He placed it on her heart, but he had to use both hands to push away my back and her chest, so that he wouldn't hear my heart either. I refuse to take her off my back so that's the decision it came down to.

"Hmm…" Hatori thought. "Well, it's not extremely good, but it's not extremely bad. She may be out of it for a while. Maybe a week or two."

"What will she do for a drink?! And food?!" I yelled at him.

"Well, your best bet would be to send her to a hospital, but you seem reluctant to do that. Another way would be to give her a lot of fluids and no food so that you won't choke her in her sleep. You can do this my holding her up, if she is lying down, plug her nose so she does not breathe, and slowly pour it down her throat. Do this for about five seconds, because she's going to need air." He instructed. (A/N: I do not know if this really works, so don't try this at home. Remember, this is a manga story, thus it works here! Thank you!)

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked, not exactly confused, but not liberal either.

"Because, by the looks of it, you aren't gonna let anyone touch her." Hatori muttered, but I heard him loud in clear. I was about to reply to his remark, but I knew he was telling the truth. I wasn't going to let anyone near her until she opens her eyes. I won't leave her no matter what; not even for school. Well, maybe when I need to go to the bathroom…Yeah, it'd be too embarrassing to have her in their, particularly if she wakes up.

Shigure, Tohru, Yuki, and I walked home in silence. Mist's breath in my ear was sort of relaxing in a way. But it also made me want to fall asleep. So, I sauntered behind everyone else. When we made it back though, Tohru turned to me.

"I know you probably don't want her off your back, but so she can change into her normal clothes and pajamas do you mind if I dress her and give her short baths?" I hadn't even thought of that.

"Sure, just don't give her to Yuki no matter what. Or Shigure; I wouldn't want to even imagine what he would do to her while she slept and recovered." I mumbled back to her. She seemed please and nodded. I was lucky she was a trustworthy friend.

When we were in the house, I sadly handed Mist off to Tohru. I asked her if she needed help getting to Mist's backpack on the roof. She smiled, but declined the offer; she probably could reach it herself. I sat down on my bed and waited for Tohru to come in with Mist. Like I said, I wouldn't leave Mist no matter what…even if that meant…sleeping…with her. Just stay calm, she's just sleeping with you…WHO AM I KIDDING?! THIS IS FRIGGIN' UNCOOL!! YOU DON'T SLEEP WITH THE PERSON YOU LIKE WHEN THAT PERSON'S OUT IN A COMA!!!

"Can we come in?" I recognized the voice instantly as Tohru's. I didn't say anything back so she quietly opened the door and poked her head in. I nodded as an answer to her question.

I recognized Mist's pajamas almost instantly when Tohru came in with Mist. She was wearing her baby blue Hello Kitty shorts and spaghetti-strap shirt. I inspected her legs, arms, neck, face and tried to see her back. Tohru had quickly cleaned and dressed all the wounds and scars with antibiotic and bandages. It wasn't the best job in the world, but it looked like her best effort, so that was good. She set her down gently next to me. Mist just fell down onto my knees as if exhausted and not in unconsciousness. When I looked back up, Tohru was say goodbye to Mist. Then, she skipped happily out the door.

After that, I didn't know what to do. Just looking at Mist caused me to get extremely tired, but other than that fact, it was early and I didn't feel like going to bed yet. But there was nothing really to do, except steal something from the refrigerator. It seemed boring to do that without talking with someone though and Tohru went to sleep too early. Plus, I didn't feel like talking to her anyway. So, I decided I would just go to sleep. I picked Mist up, minding the gash on her back, and placed her on the left side of the bed. I laid down next to her, watched her face. Then, out of no where, she twitched the sides of her mouth up to form a smile. At first, I thought she was joking with me and her eyes would flutter open, but I knew that she must be thinking, somewhere in that coma of hers, that she was gonna be all right.

Mist's POV

For some reason, I felt like I was gonna live. I remember Kyo coming to my rescue just before my heart stopped an hour or so ago. I could feel myself breath and so I just had to smile. So I was gonna make it! Well, now at least I won't be breaking my promise to Yuka. If I were dead, we'd never see each other again. Won't I have a story for her…

Kyo's POV

"Yeah, she's probably thinking about something good…" I told myself with a nod. I yawned. "Damn, you really are making me tired!"

I rested my headed on my pillow and closed my eyes. A few minutes later, I could feel violent shaking coming from the other side of my bed. My eyes flew open and I quickly spotted Mist; half of her body was out of the blanket. No wonder she was shaking! I thought she was going through some weird spasms that resulted when you're in a coma. I sighed and pulled closer to me and back under the covers. She froze; not literally, but she stopped shaking. Her breath was echoing in my ear. It was strange having her so close to me, but I guess we were this close when she fell off the cliff and I hugged her… I mean tried to save her!! (If he had been saying this, he'd probably be blushing…heehee!)

I quickly fell asleep after that, because Mist's breathing had a delicate beat. 1…2, 3, 4…1…2, 3, 4…1…2, 3, 4… That pattern continued for sometime. For some reason, it reminded me of a Christmas carol that some American people had been singing…(A/N: I noticed after writing this that it had the same beat as Carol of the Bells. Or that other version on YouTube that goes Ding! Fries are done! Ding! Fries are done!) Well, whatever it was, her breathing had the same rhythm. Then, suddenly, it was gone.

Oh no! Please tell me she hasn't stopped breathing! No! Wake up, Kyo! You gotta wake up to see what's wrong with Mist!

My eyes flew open. Not only was Mist's breaths gone, but Mist herself was no where to be seen! Gah! She's supposed to be in a coma, where the hell did she go?! Five seconds later, Tohru walked in with Mist on her back. Her hair was wet so I expected Tohru had given her a quick shower and dressed her. She was wearing a cute, sparkling orange dress with her hair up in a bun tied together with an orange bow. Tohru looked surprised to see me awake.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Kyo!" she apologized. "You see, you were asleep and I was done getting ready for school, so I gave Mist a shower and got her dressed in her orange dress!! I'm sorry, you must have been worried!!" So that's what happened. "Oh, Kyo, I made Mist a smoothie; that should hold her over until I get back. So, you don't have to worry about feeding her in the mornings if you end up sleeping in! Otherwise, you can get her something to drink in the afternoon and evening, okay?"

"Sure." I said. She was going to hand me Mist, when I said, "I'm gonna take a shower. And go to the bathroom. You don't mind keeping her on your back until then, do you?"

"No! Of course not! She's actually quite light!" Tohru was right. Usually Mist ate a lot, but she was as light as a feather. Tohru put Mist back on her back and ran down stairs.

Tohru's POV

I felt so bad for Mist. It didn't seem very fun having to be unconscious for so long…one hundred and sixty-eight hours; one week. Accidently, I cut myself with the knife I was using. I was trying to cut cinnamon roles for everyone, but if I kept cutting my fingers, I'll be bleeding all over the food! And I don't know anyone in the world who likes bloody cinnamon roles! I have to pay better attention. But Kyo entrusted me with Mist and until he gets out of the shower and gets new clothes on, she was my responsibility!

"I can do this!" I told myself gleefully.

Five minutes later:

"I can't do this…" I whimpered. "I failed you Kyo! I failed you Shigure! I failed you Yuki! I failed you Mist! …Actually, Mist I didn't fail you! I made you a smoothie and you drank it all!" (Oh, and Mist is breathing still. Tohru remembered what Hatori had said) All my fingers had small cuts on them and blood started dripping down onto the cinnamon rolls. Now what would we eat?

"I'll take Mist now." A voice said behind me. It was Kyo, obvious enough. I smiled and let him take Mist back. He spun her gently onto his back in the same position she was in last night. I envied Kyo. I hope I can meet someone that I like as much as he likes Mist. I smiled at them both. Kyo noticed me quickly.

"What are you smiling about?!" he yelled. I laughed.

"You and Mist look really cute together!" I said, giggling. Kyo just stood there for a while, before turning around.

"We're not like that! I mean…she's in a coma, she doesn't even know what's going on…!" he trailed off. I laughed again.

"I think she does! Look –" she pointed to Mist "– she's smiling!" He couldn't deny that.

Her smile was happier and brighter then the sun, as if she knew she was being carried by the one she loved…

Mist: (Crying) I'm okay!! I'm so happy!!

Shigure: Time for my –

Mist: Sorry, I have decided to do yours next episode!

Shigure: WHAT?!?! Why?!?!

Mist: Because I'm the producer and you do what I say! Well, goodbye guys!!

Mist :o) (big-nosed smiley!)
