HE'S MINE

101

I was crying and waiting for death to knock at my door, but I heard Sanzu instead, he was trying to break in and was coughing as well.

"you stay here and I will kill her," Shinichiro shouted out of desperation, he was hating the fact that so many people were in love with me, that everyone cared about me. He's threat made Sanzu stop trying, but I knew he came up with a different plan instead.

"Your father was just like you, always grabbing attention." he sat down, waiting for death.

"Did you kill them?"I asked through stutters and fear.

"Oh no, they died of an accident," he shook his head and tried to hide his smile, "it was all their doing, their fault that they didn't check the brakes first." he planned their murder, he did it.

"you fucking bitch!" I yelled, his eyes wide open in anger, but before he could do something, the window broke like someone was trying to break the woods from outside and it caught our attention.

"I told you---," he turned his back towards the window, but that's when the door broke and Sanzu got in, the smoke at this point has made it hard for us to look clearly.

"you okay?" he rushed inside and hugged me.

"Guess you are too desperate to die." he muttered and aimed at Sanzu but that's when. Mikey jumped in from the window, "Bro!" he gasped but it was too late. He held his hand in order to get the gun out of his hands.

"you take them out," Mikey yelled at Sanzu, who nodded and quickly reached for Yasuda to untie her.

"I am not leaving without you," I said to Mikey, who had to keep one eye on Shinichiro, who was still not letting go off the gun.

"Go please," he looked me in the eye and I saw the sadness in them.

"let's go," Sanzu mumbled, holding my arm and helping Yasuda to exit the room.

"we can't leave him." I glared at Sanzu, who watched Mikey's face.

"Trust me, please go." Mikey blinked very peacefully and smiled weakly. "Trust me this time." he added and I quit arguing.

Sanzu held my hand and dragged me out of the room, the whole place was already in flames now.

"The firefighters have to be here now," Sanzu coughed and looked around, everything was on fire and my heart was beating loudly. I wonder if he lied about the gasoline tank.

"Yuzuha and Hanma are safe, Yasuda stay close." Sanzu was holding my hand in his one hand and yasuda's in another. The staircase was literally in flames and without them, we were not able to walk downstairs. I slowly got my hand free from Sanzu's touch and he too noticed, but didn't utter a word.

"Here!" he waved his hand at the firefighters and the rest was just too blurry, they helped us get down and exit the house.

The cops have arrived too, the rain has stopped, but the strong wind was making things worse. I looked at the house catching on fire and couldn't help but to cry for Mikey.

"He is inside," I yelled, I know they were trying their best, but---, we all heard the gun being fired.

"Mikey!" I yelled and ran in the direction of the house, but Sanzu held me tightly in his grip. "Don't touch me." I pushed him away and looked at the house, I can see someone coming out with the firefighters, it was Mikey. running insanely in his way, I landed in his arms.

"I am fine I am fine." He reassured the approaching cops and doctors that had arrived with the ambulance.

"you scared me." I slapped his chest and he smiled, but there was sadness on his face.

"Shinichiro?" I asked and the house burst into flames, guess the gasoline he has prepared for us finally met the fire.

"who was shot?" I asked and he lowered his head. "It's not your fault," I stated and hugged him again.

"you are fine right?" he inquired, checking me to make sure I was really okay.

"I am fine." I smiled and finally was able to look around. I saw Sanzu standing beside Hanma and Yuzuha, the doctors were checking  Hanma's blood pressure, out of all of us, he was the most scared one.

Mikey and I approached them, we still had to give the cop's statements and Yuzuha's uncle looked concerned for his  nephew.

"I am so sorry my brother played with everyone's life." Mikey apologizes, they all give him a satisfactory smoke while Sanzu looked away with his hands in his  pockets and his eyes not watching us.

"he admitted," I announced and felt hard to breathe.

"what?" Yasuda questioned, I felt eyes on me.

"he was responsible for my parent's death." I declared and broke in tears, I saw Sanzu approaching me to comfort me but Mikey has been standing close, hugged me immediately.

"he was a snake," Yuzuha muttered angrily.

"he just wanted to ruin people's lives," Yasuda added.

"I thought he was going to rape me after drugging me." that was Hanma obviously. Yuzuha eyed him to shut up and he gulped, stealing eyes from us.

"he met his fate." Mikey announced, "and it wasn't even hard to see him in flames." he added, which was weird, but for the guy who has faced so worst because of his brother, the words would never be enough.

"back to our normal lives." Yuzuha smiled finally and we all did the same except for Sanzu, he was standing with us like he didn't belong with us.

"why are you kids always in trouble?" the sheriff joined his hands on his hips. Yuzuha got up and hugged him. "Don't kill your uncle like that," he complained to her.

"my brother planned it all." Mikey approached the sheriff and admitted.

"are giving a statement?" the sheriff asked, it was obviously hard for everyone believe Shinichiro was capable of so many wrong things.

"yes, I am." he nodded.

"he admitted to messing with my parent's car too," I stated and the sheriff shook his head, it came as a shock for him too.
