CHAPTER TWO
"ohf Ghod Ifphs Ren!" Haku gasped.
Neru's eyes jumped to the closed door.
"Rin?" she barely managed to choke out.
Haku knelt down next to Len, blood splashing onto her black clothes. She put Len's head on to her lap and looked into his clear and blue eyes. She could tell that he had lost consciousness.
"Dofph youv fink Ren did thifph?" Haku asked as she looked up to Neru.
Neru knelt down carefully next to Len. She looked at him with a growing pain in her eyes.
"Right now it doesn't matter we need to help him," Neru said as she stood and started to hoist up Len's body. Haku looked to see tears starting to form in Neru's eyes.
Haku and Neru carried Len out the half open door and down the hallway. With every step they took Haku listened to Neru's ragged breathing and her silent sobs, barely covering the plips of Len's blood dripping to the floor. Haku sighed as she felt Neru's pain.
"We're taking him to Kaito," Neru said in a hushed tone, one which Haku could hear her vocal chords rubbing against each other like sandpaper. "Kaito can help him, Haku. If anyone can, it's Kaito."
Haku nodded, and continued to trudge along, keeping a firm hand on Len's legs. Her hands became slippery with the blood flowing down his legs and sopping into his shoes. Len moaned and his head rolled to the other side. His eyes were still open and his head swiveled again. His blood continued to drip onto the floor making a trail behind them. Haku's face paled, as she thought of all the blood Len was losing. He was going to die if Kaito couldn't help him, and help him fast. She looked down the hall wondering how far down Kaito was.
She had never been to Kaito's room before, she didn't know how far, or even close, Kaito's room was. She wasn't even sure if he did have one. Haku shook her head to get these obtuse thoughts out of her head. She took another step forward and tried to concentrate on walking. Her foot slipped in Len's blood, and she caught herself before she slipped.
Haku sighed, and continued to carry Len forward. She could still hear each drop of blood hit the floor, but now she always heard the squeak of her shoes against the floor, shrill and somehow omniscient. Haku's foot slipped again and she landed on the floor, lying in Len's blood. Blood splashed round her and onto Len's body and all over Neru.
Neru slipped under Len's weight, and tried to support Len's head as she fell.
