A/N: Sorry for the late updates lately just bare with me. I will finish this story I promise. Also I noticed that my chapters in document manager will need to be update or re-posted as the time gets closer to the 90 days. Do I have to do this if they are already published chapters or do they all have to be updated? If so how do I do this without making major changes? If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks for all the support. :)

Chapter Fourteen:

ASHLYNN'S POV

Carlos pulled into the hospital and I hopped out of the car before he turned it off. He quickly got out and followed me into the hospital. I walked in and found Roland leaning forward with his head in his hands. Carlos gave me a confused look, and I walked over to Roland and pulled his hands away from his face. He looked at me with dead eyes and I sat next to him on the old warn couch in the ICU waiting room.

"What happened?" I asked him after taking a breath.

"I really wish I knew" he said with no emotion in his voice. I didn't say anything instead I rested my hand on his arm and waited for him to continue.

"Everything was fine, Johnny wanted me to come to dinner with him and Aisha and I figured I may as well because I didn't have anything better to do. So we went to Aisha's place, but when we got there the door was cracked open which is odd, but we went to the door and Johnny called out that he was home and.." he rushed through coming to a stop.

"It's okay Roland, what happened after Johnny called out?" I asked, not wanting to push him but wanting to know what happened.

"Aisha.. she screamed that it was a trap and when we rushed in there was blood and petals all over the floor." He put his head back in his hands.

My mouth opened and closed as I tried to work it all out in my head but something just wasn't clicking, I felt the blood leave my head and it felt like the world was going to close in around me. I forced myself to focus.

"You said blood, whose blood Roland?" I asked trying to steady my voice.

"Aisha's" he mumbled through his hands.

"Johnny is in the hospital, where is.. where is Aisha?" I asked not wanting to hear the answer but knowing I needed it confirmed.

"She's dead Ashlynn, shes dead the Ronin got her" he said looking at me.

My breathe caught and I tried to breathe but there wasn't enough air. How can she be gone how can she be dead she's the last person that should be dead. How did this happen?! I want to be angry but I don't even know who to be mad at. The Ronin for killing her. Or the saints for not protecting her better? I frown with my inner conflict and let the tears slide down my face.

A doctor into the room and says "Mr. Gat is out of surgery, he is in recovery, you may see him now" he says with a heavy accent. The doctor quickly leaves after giving us the news and I turn back to Roland.

"What happened to Johnny?" I ask

"When Aisha was killed Johnny lost it he went after anything and everything that moved, he was face to face with Jyunichi and I saw and I aimed the shot I told Johnny to move and when he looked at me he was run through." He said covering his face again.

"It's not you fault" I said brushing my tears away.

"It is" he said. "I agreed to bring the money to her house they knew where she lived because of me, Johnny was almost killed because I distracted him" He added.

"It's not Roland they didn't have to bring her into this, and you were just trying to help Johnny." I whispered to him trying to ease some of his pain.

He didn't respond to that. "I'm going to see Johnny" I said getting up and leaving him with a hug.

CARLOS POV

I watch Ashlynn leave the room and head down the hallway. Roland leaned back in his chair and look up and me.

"I found out who hurt Ashlynn" I said to change the subject.

"Who?" he questioned.

"Her dad." I answered simply.

"I should have fucking known. I'm so fucking stupid what's wrong with me lately? I'm making mistakes left and right." He said cursing himself.

"I don't think he will be a problem anymore." I add trying to calm him down. He nods his head and looks down at his phone when it goes off. A frown plays across his face, but he presses his phone to his ear and answers.

He listens for a moment, then says "Where?" He keeps listening and says "I'm on way."

"I have to take care of something" he says standing and brushing past me. I turn and watch as he heads for the main doors. I shake my head and head towards Johnny's room.

ROLAND'S POV

Fucking Jyunichi! He wants to call me out?! Fine I'll show him who he fucked with. He's mine!

I curse silently as I get to the parking lot and realize I didn't drive myself here. I quickly find a decent looking car and open the door and bend down and hot-wire the car. I pull the panel off and pull the red wires down and strip them down about half an inch and twist them together. I locate the brown wire that controls the starter and trip it down as well. I move myself back a little and press the brown and red wires together creating a spark as the car starts.

I quickly hop in the drivers seat and rev the engine keeping it from stalling. I put the car into drive and head off to Kanto. I pull up and stop and get out of the car and head inside. Jyunichi tosses a sword at me and I barely catch it. I move closer to him and charge at him.

He moves to the side and counters my sword. They come together with a loud clank. I jump back and circle to the left side he mirrors my actions but going to the right. I step back and aim my body to the left but fake and go to the right landing a blow on his arm. He jumps back and yells something I can't understand. Ronin members start to flood in and I turn my attention to them. I fend of their blows and black as many as I can. A sword comes at my left side and I quickly block with my own sword. I kick my foot out and catch a ronin member sending him into another member.

I move behind a set of tables and hold my defensive stance. The ronin start to thin out as Jyunichi comes back into the fight. I jump onto the tables and leap off when he gets close enough. I slam into him and we both tumble to the floor I quickly right myself and stand above him. I use both hands and shove the sword through him. Then sit on the floor to catch my breath. My breather doesn't last long when I hear sirens in the distance.

I get up and rush out the back door of the restaurant. I head back to the hideout on foot.

ASHLYNN'S POV

I find Johnny's room and slowly push the door open. The lights are dimmed. The sound of steady beeping fills the room. Johnny is propped up on the pillows, a white bandage wrapped around his torso. He's paler than usual and his usually calm face is marred with pain.

I walk to his bedside and take his hand.

"Are you okay?" I ask the obviously stupid question. He raises an eyebrow at me and I nod in understanding.

"I'm going to miss her" he says trying to be tough, but his voice shakes.

"Me too johnny, she's like the sister I never had." I say. He pats the bed beside him and I slowly sit down trying not to move the bed too much.

"How did I let this happen?" He asks more to himself. I turn and lay on my side propping myself up on my elbow.

"It's not your fault" I say with tears filling my eyes. He pulls me into a hug.

"It's not your fault, you and Roland are both blaming yourselves and it's not either of yous fault." I say to him.

He wipes the tears off my face and says "you know your like the sister I never had" I smile and let out a low sigh.

"She used to get so mad at me when I put my feet up on the table." he said with a small laugh. I smile with him.

"When we would have girls day out, stopping her was like stopping a tank" I said in memory. He laughed out loud.

"I was so happy when you got back here, she finally had someone else to drag through the mall" he said laughing again.

"I'm.. afraid" he says. I turn my head and look at him.

"Of what?" I ask.

"I'm afraid that it's never going to stop hurting." He says the pain in his eyes.

I hug him lightly trying not to hurt him. "One day it will be okay" I tell him.

"I hope so." He says I hear him say something else but I can't make it out, his steady breathing and the beeping of the machines pulled me into a sleep.

CARLOS POV

After wondering through the halls I finally find Johnny's room. I open the door and find Ashlynn laying down with him. I walk over to Johnny and he opens his eyes

"Hows it going man?" he asks. I look away not sure what to say.

"It's okay you don't have to say anything." he says somehow understanding.

"Take her home so she can get some real rest. I'll be fine here." he says nodding his head at Ashlynn.

He shifts to the side so I can pick her up.

"Call if you need anything." I say holding Ashlynn and heading out the door. I move slowly trying not to wake her and give her a light kiss on the cheek as I lay her in the back seat and drive to the hideout.
