A Sanctuary, Our Sanctuary Is Within Us

Len's P.O.V.

Defoko was returned to us. The lives of the Eros, the Heartless, and Demonic were not spared. Ruko had sacrificed herself for our purpose. She thanked me right before she died. Turns out, she had a cancer that had already taken the lives of her grandfather, mother, now her. It was hereditary and killing the younger generations faster. But of course, blood loss beat it to her faster than her cancer.

Once the dust had settled, we were all dumbfounded and with no thought what to do, I dismissed us to lay low. Miki had vacationed with Kyoteru out of the country where her parents lived and had planned to come back once the water had receded.

Later that week, I walked around in the rain, caring not if I were to catch a cold.

Out of nowhere, someone tackled and punched me in the stomach. I looked up to see Rin staring me in the eyes.

"Why?!" she roared in a questioning manner.

"Why what, Rin?!" I screamed back at her.

"Why'd you let her-?" she hushed her voice.

"Let "her" who?!" I asked, still a little infuriated.

"Why'd you let her go, Len?! She was the best thing that ever happened to us!" Rin screamed. She drooped her head, beating my chest, "[Name] was the best thing that happened to you and you let her disappear."

I gave her a hug, apologizing to Rin profusely, though I was numb about it.

"It's not going to bring her back. You have to take action, Len, please..." Rin whispered. Thunder rumbled like a freight train, shaking my bones. I just hoped [Name] was all right.

"I have to go..." I told her.

[Name] wasn't coming to Miki's house anymore. When I tried at her uncles house, he just looked solemn and turned me away. Was it because of Yuuma's death? I don't know the full answer, it's hazy, and it's bugging me.

If [Name] didn't want to see me anymore, why wouldn't she just tell me? Still... I need to get her through to me somehow, and the only way was through her window.

[Name]'s P.O.V.

Yuuma... You fucking bastard!

I threw things across the room, breaking glass and ceramic figures. I knocked down my dresser, flipped my bed, and threw my prized book to my window. I teared up. Although Yuuma hated me, it still hurts to think he's now dead. As for us, "Demon's Fang", we're disbanded, having to lie low by Mister Leader himself. I balled my fists and slammed them on my mirror repeatedly.

"You- you idiot!"

My hands slid down the shattered mirror and I sunk to the floor. I curled into a ball and screamed in frustration.

"You big idiot!" I cried, blood dripping down my fists as I cried. It burned, but it didn't matter. It couldn't turn anything over or back to the way it was.

"[Name]?! Are you alright?!" my uncles muffled voice came from behind the door. I shook my head as the doorknob rattled.

"Everything's just fine." I muttered in a cold tone.

"Don't do anything crazy, [Name]. I know we're all shaken up, but-"

"Everything's fine." I repeated loudly, ignoring the pain in my hands. Tears flowed out of my eyes. Reminiscing about the past brought up painful memories.

Len's P.O.V.

I opened the door to Miki's room. She was reading a book, holding her stomach.

"Now what are we supposed to do?" she asked me, smiling. She could smile all she wanted, but- I know her eyes gave way to grief. She lost [Name] along with us all.

"I don't know, Mik... I just want you to know, you'll be the best mother ever. You've helped me, and so here, I'm going to help you. Thank you so much, Miki. I wanted you to know-"

"No. You're not doing anything reckless! Please, Len, think of Ri-"

"That's not what I meant, Miki! I'm not going to do anything stupid like kill myself! I'm just trying to thank you for everything! But I need to move on! I'm trying to find a way to contact [Name]. I need to talk to her! I need to be with her!"

I slumped to my knees and cried on her lap. She smiled and held one of my hands, stroking my hair with her other.

"We're going through something tough, but we need to keep strong. Keep going after her, Len. You need to be persistent in this time of grief and sadness." she inspired me. I moved away and looked up into her motherly eyes. I'm only fifteen, yet I've learned more in this past year with [Name] than I've known with my whole crew.

[Name]'s P.O.V.

That night, I sat alone in the dark, crying. I was interrupted when a rock was thrown at my window, shattering it. I jumped up and ran to see what was going on. Opening the rest of the 4-paned window, I looked down to see Len. His hair was messy and he was drenched by the rain. He climbed the tree up to my room, but I was anxious to see him. I really didn't want to, but somewhere deep in my heart, I knew I had to.

"Hey," he whispered. I turned to face my wall and saw his shadow projected on the ground. Sighing and feeling even worse than normal. I swallowed my pride and faced him.

"You've sent me... on an emotional rollercoaster. You waltz in and expect me to casually face you when all I've known has been thrown in different directions?!" I exclaimed, "My parents are gone, my heart still aches. Yuuma's gone, so not only are my aunt and uncle in pain, but I am too. I won't lie, he was an insufferable asshole, but he was still family. And yes, I understand he was killed by Ruko, and although I hadn't known her, I felt close to her!"

We embraced for the longest time before we got to talking all night long. It was a moment that reignited all of our emotions, something I could look back on and smile at....
