Blood. There was so much of it when I arrived. It was covering the pavement walkway of the school. I knew who it was, I knew who did it. Although did I want to believe it was my own sister that had done this?

         Morning; Saturday. Shinguji Apartment.
 
       I woke up earlier than usual, I always had a routine for school so obviously my body would wake me up earlier. Human bodies were amazing, they were so fascinating and beautiful. I brushed some hair out of my mouth as most people thought mouth breathing was quite odd, I thought nothing of it. I softly sighed, as my released breath was broken from a vocal crack I got up from my bed and made it. Luckily I had only kept myself in one position for a whole night..It was quite typical of me, although my father deemed it creepy. I rolled my shoukders back as the sun warmed my backside up with it's rays through my window. Saturday. I feel as though I had something planned as of today. I had no where to be, or so I initially thought? Perhaps I could run out and grab breakfast, just so I could meet up with R/N after they had checked in with the examiners. My hand reached the handle, however instead of  turning the knob, the door gently opened. It had been opened the entire night? How strange. I believe I did close it. The thought of the door being open sent chills along my back, Miyadera had a tendency to come into my room some nights to stay with me. However my room looked clean. Perhaps I forgot to close it.
        I walked into the hallway to catch my Mother dusting off some shelves on the wall. She was wearing a lacy yellow dress with checkers and three caramel colored buttons on the front down to her stomach. I smiled at her as she looked to me, she returned it although her smile was much bigger than mine. I felt her energy seep into the room. Something had happened this morning?
"..Mother? I can sense you seem happy-" She gripped the duster with both of her hands, her grip tightening as her veins grew more prominent the more she gripped onto the duster. Although my eyes switched between body language and face expression. I kept cool before she could answer, however the anticipation got to my stomach.
"Korekiyo- Your sister decided to go to the exam this morning! Although she said she was going to stop for breakfast to keep her energy levels up! Isn't that fantastic!?" As much as my family wanted me to be happy for my sister. I could not be. R/N loved their talent, much more than they loved the universe, the stars, even myself. It made me a bit jealous.
"..I see. Well- I suppose I could text her and tell her good luck." My mother could sense my anxiety, worry, impatience to know who would out beat who. It made me feel queasy. I only wished R/N to win just so they could be in the same class..so I could take their notes, so I could talk about anthropology..so I could feel safe. R/N. My R/N. "..Perhaps I should tell R/N then?" My mother gasped and nodded in response. "I almost forgot that's who she was in the exam against! Well best to text them just so they aren't shocked! Or- caught off guard!" I nodded, turning around back into my room to grab my phone off of the nightstand. One thing I had noticed..my phone was left unplugged. Strange. Did I forget about that yesterday as well? I picked it up and opened it. Nothing seemed off..until I opened messages. R/N was my most recent messenger? I looked at it for a moment, Something had to have happen last night, I don't recall talking to R/N, Nor do I recall not charging my phone..same with my door! I pressed onto our message log. Quickly my heart stopped. It began to make sense, all of this scenery. Tied together.
         I put my phone down back onto the night stand, running out of my room as I swerved passed my mother down the hall, turning to my left to the second hall to the door. I threw on a pair of slide on shoes, as my hands maneuvered to wrap a jacket around me. It was my father's. I couldn't think. Miyadera. What have you done!? What were you doing?! My gut ached, my heart pounded. I yanked the door open, and before I left I heard my mother call, I heard it in my ears over and over but all I could imagine right now was what Miyadera was going to do to R/N. I didn't think, I moved. I ran. I ran down the stairs, I ran through hallways and allies. I ran. I didn't admit anything to myself, but in this moment. I may have realized all these years spent talking about anthropology, books, and movies. They were moments of love. Not friendship, yet something more; love. The sky was blue I said in my head to distract myself from ache, although the color didn't ease my pain. The air was warm I said in my head to distract myself from the ache, although the temperature didn't ease my bother. I never cared. The universe never cared either for me, although if it was one thing in this world I wanted more than anything, I would choose R/N.
        I would chose them over and over, day and night. I would chose them again and again. I didn't care, out of every person in this world, the one that can understand me, help me, heal me, love me. I needed them. My legs felt burned, my eyes grew wet. I kept running, no matter how fast I had gone I wanted to run more, faster, harder. I needed to be there. I needed to be there because they were there for me when I needed it. I turned left, and right. No matter how hard I pushed myself, no matter the looks I was given. I never gave up on them. Not until I got to the school. I stopped in my tracks and stared at the school, I wanted to drop to my knees in agony. I wanted to fall asleep right there from pain. I wanted to he away from everyone else but determination took over. To protect R/N.

      We danced together one night in the rain, I remember the smell of that day, I remember the rain that night and how the stars danced when the clouds faded.

      We spent hours in the library together, reading our favorite books, non-stop would we read them.

      They stood up for me, even when we didn't know each other. They did; That's what drove me.

    
       My weight sunk into my legs as I began to run again, I pushed a leg behind me as I leaned forward more. I needed to hold them, know they were okay, The more steps, breaths and huffs I took towards the door the more anxious I grew. I stopped once more scanning the front area. One two, I checked left, One two, I checked forward. One. Blood. So much Blood.
"R/N...!?" I felt my throat almost break, everything broke. Nothing felt goof anymore, I felt weaker, less..happy. I felt empty. I stood. Waiting for nothing but an answer that I would never get. I almost wanted to run away, I wanted to hold them, I wanted to..cry. I quickly ran to them after my trance had ended. Holding them up into my arms, they didn't respond. Although I couldn't tell what they had been bleeding from before I noticed a rip on their school sleeve. It was bloody and damaged, the rip extended so far down to their forearm. It had a few splinters lodged into their arm as I had assumed it was from one of the trees placed below where they fell. I paused once more, before pressing my hand against the wound to stop it from bleeding, I squeezed it. Although I could not bring myself to look at their face. Their face..their beautiful face. I was silent, as the world felt empty now. What was I to make of this? Was I a monster for not getting there quick enough? I squeezed their body, as I felt the hand rested onto their arm grew wet from blood. I wanted to cry. I did. I cried. I cried so softly that not even the birds stopped their song.
"..Please just..just-" I managed to look at their face. They were so beautiful. I managed to scream. I managed to cry louder than I had before.
"Please someone! Help!" I said, my voice breaking, I repeated the words again. Louder, until my voice hurt.
A security guard rushed over to help, I felt sick. I could have brought my phone but I was in too much of a hurry, holding them in my pajamas seemed stupid. Although they were my will, my reason. I hadn't had anyone else in the world I cared about this much. The security guard looked at me, said a fee things but I couldn't respond. I held them close. My tears dripped onto their face as they didn't move. They were blacked out. "..Please don't leave." I mustered out.

"..I love you."
