I slashed at the warriors, knocking them aside. My vision was blurry with a mixture of hot tears and the fog that snaked along the ground, and I didn't see what came next.
A huge mutant flashed into my view, and I was too shocked to move.
"No!" shouted Fang from behind me, jumping in my front to take the blow. He crumpled to the ground, blood already pooling in the dirt. My anger seemed to take over, and minutes later the battlefield was cleared. I ran over to Fang. His wound was gaping, under his ribs. Breaks, definetly. I tied my tearstained hoodie around him. He was breathing short, shallow breaths that came in gasps. He started coughing and heaving. My alarm crawled into panic.
"Fang!" I shouted. His eyes fluttered and he seemed to focus.
"How...bad.." he said between coughs. I grimaced.
"Bad." I answered. His own expression turned grim. I leaned over, looking into his obsidian eyes, searching for a will to live. He smiled a bit.
"No use, Maximum." he said, his voice just a whisper.
"Don't say that," I said frantically, my voice cracking, "it'll be fine."
Fang propped himself up slowly. My attention turned to the wound. It was still bleeding profusely. He kissed me slowly for what seemed like forever, then he fell back to the ground. His eyes closed, and a lone tear made a clear path on my dirty cheek. His breathing stopped, and I touched the promise ring that he gave me on my necklace. A rainbow streaked across the gray sky, the promise that he loved me. That was never enough.

Her face betrayed her absolute worry. I hated seeing her like this. My whole chest ached with the effot of staying alive. She leaned over me, looking deep into my eyes. I smiled, seeing that she still wore my ring around her neck. I kissed her, a parting gift that only I could give, and then slipped into peaceful darkness.
My Maximum, you should never have seen this, never should have to endure this.
Just remember: I'll be there with you.
