Chapter 20:

Akihiko's POV

Am I...alive? What's going on? Wasn't the world black just a second ago? "Usagi-san..." I heard somebody say.

Was that...Misaki? "Mi...sa...ki..." I said, opening my eyes slowly. It was him. He was breathing hard, looking really weak.

I sat up slowly and smiled. "Usagi-san!" He said happily but it sounded very tiredly. I saw that his eyes began to close.

"Misaki...Misaki, What's wrong?" I asked, supporting his neck when he had drifted down to my arm.

"I am so...happy that you are back Usagi-san. So...happy." He said with a tear falling down his cheek.

"What is going on with you Misaki?" I asked again, worried. "I love you Usagi-san. I love you so much so I want you to live." He said with his eyes drooping down.

"Misaki, What are you talking about? There is no way I will live without you. I won't. Life is no meaning without you. Don't tell me this like you are going to leave me." I said, hugging him close.

"Usagi-san, remember before when you died, you asked me to marry you?" He asked and I nodded.

"Well I was happy when you asked me this. So yes, I will marry you. I will if there was ever a second life and we were the only ones in it. Now it's too...late. I..love...you...Usagi-san." He said and fell limp in my arms.

"Misaki?" I asked and shook him. There was no response. "Misaki...No, Misaki! Don't leave me! Don't let me live this horrible life without you! I need you!" I screamed.

"It's too late now. He is gone." I heard and turned to the voice. It was Ryuu. "Ryuu. How dare you make your appearance in front of me again after what you did to me. I know. It's your fault that Misaki is dead. Your fault!" I said, pointing dead at his face.

He smiled. "It doesn't matter now. It's all over. He had struck me with the power that he recieved from Shinobu. I'm nothing now. It will be all over in about a few minutes, leaving me dead." He said, getting off of Masahi.

He fell down on his back. "Masahi, promise me that you will be a good boy when you are gone." He said. Masahi smiled and grabbed his hand. He brought it to his cheek and nodded, letting a tear fall down his cheek.

I looked back at Misaki. Did he use that power to revive me, knowing that it sapped the life out of him? That..couldn't be possible...could it?

I clutched Misaki to my chest. "Misaki..." I whispered. "How long do you plan on hurting my feelings? How long do you plan to leave me like you did before? How much pain and suffering are you doing to let me feel? I love you dammit. Come back."

I moved the hair out of his face and kissed him on the lips, hoping for some kind of reaction. Some kind of miracle. Nothing. No stir. No movement. Nothing.

It was then and there that it hit me. He was really gone. Long gone. Gone like I was before.

I felt so pained. I couldn't stand it. I thought of all the things I would do without him. I could picture nothing. My mind was like a blank white empty void. What would I do without him?

"Ryuu!" I heard someone cried out and turned my head. It was Masahi, Misaki's twin. Ryuu had died, just like Misaki. It seemed like everyone was dying at this point.

"No. Please don't leave me Ryuu. Please no." He cried. Now you know how I feel. "God I hate you!" He screamed and stood up. He ran to me, giving me a punch on the cheek that hurt.

"What the hell what that for?!" I yelled. "It's your fault. If only you weren't here. I could have gotten the powers from Misaki and could have kept Ryuu alive. It's your freaking fault!" He said.

I couldn't agree with him. It was Ryuu's fault that this all happened in the first place. If he didn't set off a chain reaction just by killing me then all of this mess wouldn't be here. His fault entirely.

I picked up Misaki and ran out of the room, leaving Masahi in silence.

I was shaken up really bad. Losing Misaki is just... a big deal to me. I can't imagine a life without him.

I glanced at his sweet empty face that had no life to it. I didn't like looking at the face because it made me feel sad inside when I did. At the same time, I couldn't take my eyes off his face. It drawn me in too much. I just couldn't stop looking at it.

I walked down the hallways and saw Miyagi and Shinobu in a room. As soon as they saw me, they ran up to me. "What happened to Misaki?" Shinobu asked. I showed him the life-less body in front of me that was in my hand and broke down there.

For some reason it didn't make me feel embarrassed. I just made me know that I still love him and cared so deeply for him that I wasn't ready to let him go.

We had laid him down on a bed. I didn't know what to do. I could just look at my lover's body without disgust in myself. How could I let him do this?

Why didn't I just be a man and when Ryuu had made him kill me, just move out of the way. Oh yeah. I couldn't. He had trapped me with whatever power he had.

"What...should I do?" I asked them. "We might have to research how to revive someone...without sacrificing yourself in the process. I know it's crazy but it's the only idea we have to try to make him come back alive."

I nodded in agreement. But how would we do some research in here? There are no computers or anything like that here. It's like we were put in here to be basically screwed. Literally.

"Ok, let's get to it!" Miyagi said and got out his cellphone. He dialed someone's number. "Who are you calling, Miyagi?" Shinobu asked him. Miyagi smiled. "Let's get some help from our old pals."

I didn't know what was he talking about. Pals? Do we even have...old pals? I'm pretty sure that every single old person that I have ever met was never my pal.

"Kamijou~! It's me. We are in need of some desperate help~!" He sang. Wait a minute. Oh yeah. I had an old...not really old but...old pal named Hiroki. How could I have forgotten about him?

"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE THE HECK I AM DAMMIT?!" I heard a yell from the phone. "Ok, ok calm down Kamijou...where are you at right now?" He said.

I heard silence from the end of the phone and then a click. "He hung up on me." Miyagi whined.

"So now what?" Shinobu asked in annoyance. I could tell that he was jealous. "Well let's call him back." I said and got out my cellphone. I dialed his number and as quick I dialed it, he picked up.

"DAMN YOU PEOPLE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! WHAT DO YOU ALL WANT?!" He growled loudly. "Calm down tiger. We just need some help." I said, trying to mask the sadness in my voice.

"Let me talk to them Hiro-san." I heard from the other end. "Whaa...hey! Nowaki..."

"Hello, this is Nowaki speaking. What do you need from Hiro-san?"

"I...We..." I didn't even know our plan yet. "Let me have the phone for a sec." Miyagi said and I handed him the phone.

"We need you guys to see if you can look up some information somewhere. See if there is anyway to restore somebody to life without sacrificing your own life."

Silence and then, "Well let me see if I have some time. We are at the hospital right now. What is this for?"

"Misaki has just... died..reviving Akihiko..." He answered carefully.

"I-I-I'm sorry. I will try to do some research then. I hope that we can bring him back. Tell Akihiko that I'm sorry for his loss. ...I need to go now. The nurse says that she needs to talk to me. Good bye."

And with that, he hung up.

Miyagi gave me the cell phone back. "So...What now?" I asked him. "What now. What now you ask. ha ha. Now is the time that I will kill you all!" I heard from behind me and turned around, finding Masahi in the doorway holding a knife.

"Oh come on. No more killing already. Just stop it." I said in a reasonable tone.

"Masahi, your own brother just died and you don't give a damn. All you care about right now is killing people? Are you out of your freaking mind?! What the hell is wrong with you?! Did you even care about Misaki at all?!" Shinobu said in an angry tone.

I never even heard his cuss in my whole entire life. I really think that he might even throw a punch in there.

Masahi started to shake. "What the hell do you know about me...You don't a damn thing about me so you can't be saying nothing! It's his fault that Ryuu-sama died. There is not doubt about it. It's all his fault!"

I literally was about to kick this kid into neverland. He must be joking. Misaki has nothing to do with this at all. This is so stupid!

I went up to Masahi and picked him up by his shirt. "Listen you! It's your own damn fault that this all happened. It's your own damn fault that Ryuu died. It's your own damn fault for helping Ryuu out with everything. It's. your. own. damn. fault."

"Now, now Akihiko, let's just drop this fight. I'm pretty sure that Misaki would not like to see you like this. So c'mon, just drop it. Please?" Miyagi said as we went up to us.

I let him go with as much force as I had in my madness and looked away. "How about we just find a way out of here right now, okay? We will bring Misaki with us. Let's go, okay?" Shinobu said, trying to calm me down.

I balled up my fists in frustration. "Fine, I got it. Let's go already." I said, walking over to the bed that Misaki was laying in and picked him off of it.

"Do you think you can leave this place so easily?! Hah, The only way you can leave this place is if you have even a small portion of Ryuu-sama's powers. Nobody in this room has it." Masahi said with a laugh of triumph.

Then it was Shinobu's turn to laugh. "Oh please. You forgot about me. I'm the one who received the powers from him!"

Everyone turned to him. "Uh...Shinobu...you gave that power to Misaki...remember?" Miyagi said.

Shinobu's POV

Crap. I completely forgot. "Uh well...carry on. You did not just hear me say that..." I said with a blush and looked away. That was so embarrassing!

I guess we really do have no way out of here. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. We are getting out of here no matter what! Even if it means that we have to force out way out!" Akihiko said.

Masahi rolled his eyes. "Ok whatever you say..." he said and left the room. "If you guys don't get out of here within two hours, this whole building will self-destruct."

Well that's just great. Add more too our frustration why don't you. "I can show you guys how I got here. Don't know if it will help or not..." I said, trying to reassure them that I will help them get out of here as well.

"Main room right?" Miyagi mumbled.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I said, You came from the main room right."

"Ah, yes I did. But I only came through there just because I retraced Ryuu's powers and opened some kind of vortex, following him to here. It was like a thin strand of power in a cloud that I only relied on, connecting the powers he gave me to his own." I answered.

"So there must be a thin strand that connects this world to our own world. If we can find it, we can possibly get out of here using it." Miyagi said, pacing around the room, devising some kind of plan.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Akihiko asked. When nobody said anything, he walked up to the doorway. "We just gotta find that connection and then we are outta here. Let's go."

I looked at the ground. He really did want Misaki back again. I felt sorry for him. I do know his pain. The loss of his own lover. It was like what happened before. Me losing Miyagi. That was the worst time of my life. How I don't want it to happen again.

"Shinobu?" I heard and looked up. Miyagi was already halfway out the door. He was waiting on me. I smiled and walked up to him. "Let's go bring Misaki back." I said, walking out the door with him.

-.- That took long. Bunchies of time in school really killed me. I'm off for fall break so I finally can get this up. Sorry for the long awaited chapter. Now I can get to my other stories if Keira Kinover-Mar hasn't noticed that I have others. Hope you enjoyed and review.
