But nothing came. It was quiet. He slowly opened his eyes, expecting blood, but what he saw was much different.
Ayu's soft long hair brushed his face. His eyes widened as he looked what happened. She was in front of him, the knife piercing inside her.
"AYU!'
Chapter 10 – Losing a Loved One
"Ayu!" Heavy raindrops poured down to them. Loud crashing of the rain was only heard through the silence.
Kaji was too shocked to move. Ayu's eyes were shut as she felt immediate pain. She fell behind, feeling too weak. Kaji's eyes widened. His arms were in front of him as Ayu fell into his arms, her arms draping down as blood traced down both her arms.
Nina screamed in horror as Tsujiai cuddled her close. Nina was crying hard and covered her ears as she sobbed in Tsujiai's chest. "Ayu….!"
Kaji didn't move, he just stared straight in shock as Ayu lay in pain in his stretched out arms Her own blood was on her face as rain washed it off. Her eyes tightly shut, no breathing came from her.
Kaji finally slowly looked down; he saw Ayu's calm but painful look on her peaceful face, which was covered with little blood on her cheek. "Ayu…?" he whispered.
"…."
No reply.
His eyes were wide he finally came to his senses and yelled out, "Ayu!" He sank down with her in his arms, "Wake up!"
She didn't move.
"Ayu!" Nina cried. Sako shut his eyes and looked away. Riko was just standing, not knowing what just happened and drop to his knees, a forced smile on his face.
"WAKE UP!"
Tsujiai wrapped his arms around Nina protectively as she cried harder in his chest. He buried his head in her blonde hair. "Calm down, Nina," he said softly. She clutched onto him tight.
"No…no…no…this can't be happening," Nina said to herself as tears streamed down her face.
Kaji hugged Ayu tight as Ayu didn't respond; her arms fell to her side as the rain washed away tears and blood. "AYU! Wake up!"
Riko started to chuckle and laugh louder. Lightning crash down and rained poured down to them heavily. "Ayu's….dead, isn't she?" he said, his expression looked like a maniac, "ISN'T SHE?" he said louder. Kaji glared hard at him.
Ayu's lifeless body was gently put down as Kaji lay her down. One of her hand was on top of her stomach as the other arm was at her side. The color dark red was at spreading around her clothes.
"You son of a -!"
"Kaji, stop!" Tsujiai said as he held him back. Sako held his brother back as well. Nina quietly crawled to Ayu, unnoticed to the others, a knife behind her.
"LET GO! THAT BA$#RD KILLED AYU!"
"She isn't dead! She just got shot!"
"IT WAS THAT B#$'s fault for interfering!" Riko yelled over as he tried to free from his older twins' grip.
"DON'T CALL HER A B-----! YOU BA$&!" Kaji yelled in fury.
"Killing him or torturing him won't do any good, Kaji!" Tsujiai reasoned, "He'll be in jail soon. CALM DOWN!" He said, almost losing his patience, but he kept his cool. Knowing in these situations, if no one was calm, then the worst the situation would be.
"Riko! QUIT IT!" Sako yelled, "I told you not to do anything rash! YOU BROKE THAT PROMISE!" Sako yelled, losing his patience and felt anger rising within him. Unlike Tsujiai, Sako was the same, except he lost his patience after seeing someone close hurt.
"SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE!" Riko said, glaring hard at Kaji. Sako had enough. A fight broke out. Sako punched his twin in the stomach hard. Riko glared heavily at his twin before charging. It was slippery, because of the mud and the rain.
Kaji still tried to escape Tsujiai, but he couldn't.
"Let go, Tsujiai!" he struggled, "That b------- have no right speaking to Ayu like that!"
"Calm down!" Tsujiai said in a cool voice, "If we'd stop fighting….then we could have had Ayu delivered to the hospital right now!" Kaji froze.
"She needs to be treated," Tsujiai said, seeing this chance, "We'll deal with Riko later after we find out Ayu's fine,"
Kaji was now free from his grasp, "Thanks Tsujiai,"
"Anything for a friend,"
They turned to the fighting twin brothers. They separated each two, after a while with bruises. Kaji's cheek was swollen from a punch while Tsujiai gritted his teeth, the pain from his stomach after being kicked. They manage to hold them back away from each other.
The twins were badly injured as they glared at each other, both panting heavily after the fight. "You aren't my twin anymore, Riko," Sako said. "I won't allow you getting away with this," Kaji helped him up. Riko just pushed Tsujiai away, letting him up himself, painfully.
"I always get away with stuff. No one can catch me," Riko said dangerously.
Tsujiai and Kaji turned to the girls, only to be greeted by another nightmare.
"NINA!"
"AYU!"
More blood was spread around Ayu's clothes and skin, the rain was washing it all away. Her wound was large and needed to be stitched up. The knife still inside her. Blood trickled down her mouth.
Nina was shocking. She was beside Ayu, eyes closed, feeling lifeless. A knife was pierced inside her as well, on her right chest. Blood seemed to flow endlessly down her body.
'Ayu's my best friend. I can't live without her. If she's suffering like this, so should I. It's unfair for her if she's the only in pain. We're best friends. Whatever she's doing, I'm doing as well, even if it means death. As long as we are always together, best friends forever. The pain I'm feeling is what she was feeling.
"Nina…?" Tsujiai said with shocked eyes at the view in front of him. "NINA!" He quickly rushed towards her and held her petite form in his arms. Kaji went back to Ayu, both hugging them tightly. "No, Nina. No, no, no, no, NO!"
It's not fair if she's the only in pain
"Nina!" He felt her pulse, only a little heartbeat and barely breathing. "We've got to get her to the hospital! Call the hospital!" Everyone was to shock to move. "Dammit, call! I don't want to lose her along with Ayu! CALL!" he roared with force and anger.
If she's suffering, so should I.
"Nina," he whispered frantically in her ear, "Please, don't die on me now! You're the only reason I'm here right now! If you die, than what's my purpose in life! I'll live my whole life regretting saying I love you!"
Whatever she's doing, I'm doing as well, even if it means death.
Tears streamed down Tsujiai's face, for once, he cried, "How will I live my whole life without you! Please, wake up!" he begged. "I'll be broken without you by my side! The pain I feel now will never be healed!"
The pain I'm feeling now is what she was feeling.
Kaji still held Ayu close. "Ayu! Please, open your eyes! Tell me your okay! Tell me we're going to be together! I love you Ayu! If you'll die…..I'll have a part missing from me. Not knowing how I'll continue!"
We're best friends
It rained harder and thunder shook them. Sako called the ambulance long ago and is waiting. Riko disappeared into the forest.
"Ayu! Don't make me feel regretful if you leave me!" Kaji screamed, holding her tighter.
I can't live without her. We're best friends.
Panic, anger and pain filled them. Mixed feelings filled them as they held tight to their loved ones. The ambulance came and quickly took Ayu and Nina away, followed by Kaji and Tsujiai.
They waited all night and day at the hospital waiting for the answers.
"We can't get a pulse!"
They heard voices inside the operation rooms.
"Clear!"
"Still no pulse!"
Morning came, but it was still dark and angry and dark clouds were still out, refusing the sun to shine.
The doctor finally came out. "How are they?" they asked quickly.
"They're alright…" the doctor said with a smile, but it slowly faded.
They sighed in relief.
"But…they may be in coma. They might have amnesia."
They froze, pain once again filling them. Flashback images replayed in their thoughts, remembering the girls.
We're best friends. We always do stuff together, even if it means losing each other. We're best friends forever, not even death can separate us.
