Chapter 19

MISA P.O.V.

As Ruki disappeared, Misa looked at her wrist where Ruki tied the ribbon. Misa smiled softly as she saw it and smelled it.

"Hmm? What was this nostalgic smell? Someone's blood?" Misa asked herself, "Whatever, I'll sleep now and ask him later," Then she fell into a deep sleep.

"Why are you crying?" Small Misa asked a boy who was crying near her house.

"I'm all alone. My father killed himself and my mother left me alone," he cried as he looked down.

"I see. So pathetic," Misa said nonchalantly.

"What did you say?!" the boy looked up angrily.

"At last you look at me!" Misa smiled widely.

"Huh?"

"I'm just joking just now. By the way, I'm Sakamaki Misa, and you?"

"I won't tell my name to strangers," he pouted.

"It's okay, I won't forced you to," Misa smiled.

"Then go from here. Leave me alone!"

"I don't want to," Misa said and lied beside the boy.

"What are you doing lying here like that?"

"The wind is so calming. Hey, lie beside me too!"

"Huh?"

"Come on! Lie here too!"

"Geez!"

"Close your eyes," Misa said and the boy close his eyes, "Isn't it good?"

"I… I don't know the wind was this good,"

"I know right!"

"Zzzzzz…."

"Hey, you asleep?" Misa opened her eyes and saw the boy beside her slept really fast. She sighed and smiled then hold his hand and sleep too. They slept for about two hours then the boy woke up.

"Ngghh?" The boy looked at his right and found the girl was sleeping beside her with their hand tied with each other.

"Whaa—"

"Ah, you're awake?" Misa opened her eyes slowly then smiled. The boy was blushing and let go his hand off Misa.

"What are you doing?"

"I just awoke from my sleep,"

"That's not what I'm talking about!" he said.

"Then what?"

"Forget it!"

"You've cheered up. That's good," Misa smiled softly.

"Eh?"

"Just now, you're trying to jumped off from the tree, didn't you?" Misa asked.

"How did you—"

"But you couldn't climb higher so you jumped from the lowest branch and you hurt your knees instead. Look, it's bleeding. You haven't treat your wound,"

"Let me be," the boy said then there were a long pause after that.

"Hey," Misa said as she looked at him with sad eyes, "You shouldn't force yourself,"

"What?"

"Your father's death and your mother who left you, don't feel lonely just because of it. You can make friends as much as you want from now on. The future is indeed mysterious, we don't know what would happen then. But if you die now, you would not be able to see the future! You'll even meet those who you could call family if you have the chance to. What if you have a good future but didn't have the chance to see it just because you kill yourself now!" Misa said.

"That's if I have a good future. What if my future even worse from this?"

"Then you just have to turn it into a good one!"

"…" the boy went speechless.

"My dad said that human are so fragile that even one wound could kill them. That's why you should take care of yourself!" Misa said.

"You said that as if you're not a human," the boy said.

"Hmm? I'm not a human just for you know," Misa said nonchalantly.

"Not a human?"

"Yeah, I'm a vam—"

"Misa!" a voice was calling out to her.

"Ah! That's my mother! I must've made her worried. I have to go now," Misa stood up.

"Then go away," the boy said but his eyes showed that he was sad.

"Ah! I almost forget!" Misa went back to the boy and undo her ribbon which was tied on her head. She tied it on the boy's knees which was still bleeding.

"You should take care of yourself! What if you'll get sick?" Misa said as she finished tying her ribbon on his bleeding knees.

"I won't," the boy blushed.

"Okay! That's it! I'll go home now," Misa said as she stood up again.

"Wait!" the boy tried to call her.

"Don't die until we meet again, okay?," Misa smiled softly to the boy, "The boy-whose-name-I-don't-know," Then Misa walked away slowly leaving the boy.

Misa woke up from her sleep and tears are falling off her eyes. She just saw her dream of the past. She looked at the ribbon Ruki gave to her and she cried even more.

"Ruki…" she said weakly. Then she heard a knock on her door.

"Who is it?" Misa asked as she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

"It's me," Yui opened the door and sat on Misa's bed, "Ah, you don' t have to wake up. Just sleep,"

"Are you going to kill me?"

"No. I'm sorry for all the things I've done until now," Yui said.

"Wait. What do you mean?"

"I've heard it all from Yuuma-kun. About myself and about my father. You've been protecting me until now, haven't you?"

"It's not a big matter,"

"But it is for me,"

"I'm not angry with you. I apologize too for being so cold with you,"

"It's okay," the two of them smiled with each other. Then suddenly Misa suddenly pushed Yui into her arm followed by the window which was suddenly broke in pieces and scattered everywhere.

"Yui! Sorry, are you okay?!" Misa panicked, "That's not really matter right now. Get out of here now!"

"Eh?"

"Quickly! You're in danger!" Misa said panickedly.

"But, you're hurt!" Yui said as she saw that Misa got hurt with the broken glass.

"Never mind that, get out of here!" Misa said.

"How could I do that?!" Yui insisted and helped Misa to went out off her room.

"Watch out!" Misa pushed Yui to the side as some sharp shards of glass coming fast directly to them.

"Misa-chan!" Yui called Misa in horror. She was unconscious by the wounds she got just now, "Misa-chan, wake up—"

Unexpectedly, Yui was thrown by something until she hitted the wall hardly and slowly losing her conciousness. Then she saw a man walked calmly towards Misa and carried her in his shoulder.

"You are…" Yui whispered slowly and fainted.
