Don't Do This to Me
Panic rushed through me as I tried to focus on my surroundings and I began to follow the blood trail. Even while injured, he is good at covering his tracks and I feared the worst since no doubt the perpetrators had to been close behind him. No doubt he had tried to get away as they got to one of our bags and it's obvious by the clearing that they were close after his trail. Whilst shifting around I heard some subtle laughter before it bellowed out and I inwardly cursed at the rain starting to sprinkle to the ground. My feet shifted to have me rest against a log and glanced around a part of it that split and started to decay.
"What? Not going to talk?!" The voice hollered out before kicking to a figure and I heard the wince. Familiar silver hair from the down figure had my eyes widen and I gritted teeth as eyes found those fuckheads from before.
"Come on, Benthor. Let's just kill him and go."
"He was waiting for someone, I know it." A hand grabbed hair from my friend as he growled into the face. "Talk."
"Fuck you." The spit came out as the guy threw him to the side and I noticed our pistol from a bag. Curses left the man, Kai, as he seemed enraged and rain became heavier as the two people complained about it.
"Fine, like I fucking care about you. I'll kill ya and then I'll kill ya buddy too!" The hand with the gun waved around before he moved to aim it and I felt my feet move on their own. My blade slashed through the man as I slid on the grass and turned in time to stop the axe that came at me from the Benthor guy.
"Z-Zoro!" The cry of my name had me glare before pushing back the heavier set guy and the sudden clap of thunder filled the air. Lightening was beginning to show up with its ally voicing out its show and I let my blade move. We clashed together as I knew Saga needed me now. The sound of a gunshot threw me off though and I felt the small hatchet, the guy had suddenly pulled out, find my face. This shout of pain left me as it was covered by a screech and I ripped it out quickly before blocking the axe coming at me. I had to shift my face to see that Kai fucker laughing into the sky with the gun in hand and I threw the hatchet at him.
"Gah!" It was a little off but I got him in the collarbone and throat. He gargled whilst falling back trying to stop the blood.
"You bastard!" The shout at me had a hand grasp his fist and used my sword to press him away. We pulled away from each other before I let my whole being shake as I charged with wild swings that were precise in cutting his flesh. He fell back like the big lug he was before dropping my sword and I grasped his axe that he had released and grasped his shirt as I began hacking down onto his body. Blood splurged from him as he screamed out and I angrily howled. Once I felt him completely limp, I shifted back with pants as I moved to the other male who tried to crawl away in horror.
"N-coo!" The gurgling protest left him before I let the axe find the back of his head and left it there as he stayed down. Rain continued to pour as I pulled back with shaky breaths and heard a cough in the air. Soon I turned to see the bloody mess of my best friend and buckled at my second step to him. The sword was left abandoned as I crawled over with a straining throat.
"P-please, don't…" I whispered out as I pressed to the wound on his chest that was already soaking his shirt. Eyes shone lightly as I felt a hand find my cheek and I felt the stinging at the corner of my eyes.
"Zoro…" I leaned over him with a choked breath as I already knew it was too late. A deep slash in his thigh was making him lose the most blood and the bullet wound in his chest is what had blood coming out of his mouth when he coughed.
"Don't do this to me…" I spoke out in a plea as I let shaky hands grasp his shirt before pulling him up into my arms. "Saga, please… I can't… I can't…"
"You'll do fine." The words had me painfully let out a noise as I pressed my face to his. Thunder rumbled to cover his cough and a hand rubbed my cheek as I felt the tears leave me freely. "I love you, Zoro. You are the best brother… I could… ask… sorry…" The words faded as I looked to notice his eyes cloud and the hand had fallen at some point.
"N-No! Don't leave me alone!" I cried out with a light shake as I could barely see with my tears forming and rain getting on my face. "SAGA!" The painful scream came out of me as I faced to the sky and just let my agonizing shrieks leave me.
"SAGA!"
The rain had stopped and a red flare soared through the air as I stayed in my spot next to my…
Everything.
I wanted to give him a proper burial, but I was already having difficulty with myself as I had to tie a bandage over my face as good as I could. My eye would most likely never work again and I began to wonder if it mattered. I lost him…
Saga.
I don't want to be alone… I didn't want to lose you. You let me rant and rave over anything, the one I was the most open too since we were children. Taunting me when I failed a grade and tried your best to keep my grades up even though I was technically the older of us. Teasing me about my very first crush I had and how I suddenly played the other ball field. The laughs we shared, the smiles…
I don't want to be alone.
My body curled as I sat with knees up and arms around my legs as I gritted teeth with my face tucking away, not wanting to look next to me. I had found a bag nearby and used a cloth, which we usually used for bandaging, and placed it over his face after I had closed his eyes. It made me cringe doing so as I knew that those eyes wouldn't show mischief anymore and those paling lips would never give a smile to me.
Why?
Why did it have to be Saga? The luckiest one out of both of us and he left me to tackle this alone. My whole being hurt at the cringing thought of him never coming back. Saga is gone.
Forever.
"Zoro…" I heard my name and I slowly lift my head up to see brown eyes showing grief. The name on my lips never left as I just stared to him with new tears forming and started to fall from my one eye as the other let bandages be soaked in them. Feet shifted slowly before he was in a run and came before me with trembling hands cupping my face. "Z-Zoro." My name made me choke on a sob trying to come out and the hands pulled me to him as I shifted to wrap around him.
"L-Luffy," the desperate cry left me as I shook in his hold and he held me tightly.
Don't let me be alone.
Please.
