Author Pov

Sumire's senses were paralysed, she could no longer feel, see, hear or smell anything.
The enemies took this chance to eliminate Sumire, so they took out their weapons and attacked her. Sumire's body was cut by many weapons, some wounds were very deep and one enemy turned Sumire into a donut. While their teacher was suffering, the three boys took off with a grin. They were very satisfied.
Sumire's body fell at the opponent's feet, she was breathing very hard.
The snow turned blood red as it soaked up Sumire's blood. The opponents tamed the snow and buried Sumire in it.
Tuna, Kai and Aran returned without a guilty conscience, but they hadn't done the maths with Yagami, who was constantly checking Sumire's coordinates when he noticed that Sumire was no longer moving at all.
Yagami intercepted the boys.

"Where is Sumire?" Yagami asked seriously, he didn't trust the three of them.
"I don't know, man," Kai said and the three of them broke free from Yagami's grip.
Yagami called three samurai to keep an eye on the three, then he put  a search group together, to find sumire.
The search group followed the coordinates that sumire had entered.
From a distance, they could see the mound of snow, which was blood-red in colour.

"Shit! It must be Sumire!" shouted Yagami.
The Search group  ran even faster and pushed the snow aside. At some point, Sumire's body emerged. There was a hole under his chest.
A medical ninja was able to grasp the heart through the hole and squeezed it in a steady rhythm.
Sumire was placed on a stretcher and then Yagami used his earthbending skills to make faster progress. Once in the city, sumire was immediately taken to the emergency room.
Yagami ran to the house where the flatmates lived, preferring to inform them personally.

Kawaki's pov

It was just 16:00, I wondered how Sumire's mission was going. Hopefully everything was going well. I went into the kitchen and made some tea. Suddenly the doorbell rang, I ran to the door and opened it, in front of me stood Yagami, the headmaster of the school and Sumire's instructor.
Yagami's face was very pale and he looked very upset and anxious. I invited him in and took him into the living room with the others, they were already back from work.

"I'm so sorry," said Yagami.

"What are you sorry for?" I asked, handing him a cup with tea in it.

"The mission sumire went on failed..." he said, clutching the cup with his hands.

"What happened?" I asked a little louder, my voice drenched in fear. My heart was racing.

"At first everything seemed fine, she sent me her coordinates regularly so I could follow her path all the time and keep track of her in case something happened. At some point, things stopped and the three boys returned to the school building without Sumire. My search group and I found Sumire buried under the snow... the snow had soaked up her blood. She was hypothermic and the worst thing was a hole in her torso...we took her to the emergency room..." Yagami said, stuttering. Apparently it wasn't easy for him.

When Yagami stopped talking, I had to sit down. My skin had lost all colour, it was almost as white as the snow outside. In my head, I had a clear idea of what Sumire must look like, since I had killed Garo like that... I felt a liquid running down my cheeks, it was tears. Suddenly I noticed Tsuki on my lap, clinging to me and crying very hard.
I hugged him to me and tried to comfort him, but I failed, I couldn't even comfort myself.
My thoughts became dark and pessimistic, had I lost my Sumire forever? Had Tsuki lost his mum forever? Did we no longer have a future as a family? What was I supposed to do without sumire...?
I gasped for air.

"I'm going to her, I can't sit here twiddling my thumbs, the woman I love. She's near death," I said. I got Tsuki and myself dressed. Mitsuki and the others came with me. Everyone had tears in their eyes.
We left as a group and ran to the hospital where sumire was admitted.
Yagami came with us and asked for Sumire Shigaraki. A nurse told him the ward and room number. Sumire was in the intensive care ward, in room 121. before we were allowed into her room, we had to put on the green gowns

"It's best if we let Kawaki and Tsuki see her first," said Mitsuki.
"Thank you Mitsuki," I said.
Then Tsuki and I went in to see sumire. The sight of her broke my heart, she was connected to so many machines, she was being ventilated and given liquid food. I sat down on a chair and put Tsuki on my lap. I took Sumire's hand and put it to my cheek, so many tears gushed out. I couldn't control my sadness and fear, she wanted to get out and she could. With Sumire and Tsuki, I can no longer control my body.
" Sumire, please stay with us... I can't do anything without you... I beg you... you can't leave us. The world is so dark without you... Not as dark as when I was a child but I would lose my light, you taught me so much and made me a better person... You never gave up on me, you defended me and taught me everything... please sumire... I love you more than anything," I said. Her hand had become very wet in the meantime, my eyes were losing more and more tears, but I wasn't the only one who crying. Tsuki was crying too, we kept her hand so close to us.
"Mum, please stay with us... please wake up... we need you... it's not the same without you, it never will be..." he said. We both had such a tearful voice.

I looked at the screen where her heartbeat could be seen, it was so gentle, but at least it was regular.
I kissed her hand gently.
"Mouse, you're a strong woman, please come back to us," I said.
Tsuki and I didn't want to leave Sumire at all, but eventually visitor time was over.
The group had to drag me out of the room, I didn't want to leave her alone. Please Sumire, hang in there and come back to us. Otherwise the moon and the earth will lose their light... their sun.
I knew that Sumire always saw herself as a moon too, but for me and Tsuki she was the sun. We went home with heavy hearts, but we asked a nurse to call us if anything happened.

At home, I decided to call Mum. I went to Tsuki's room as my legs were getting lame as I got closer to mine and Sumire's bedroom.
I dialled the number and I heard a ring. I was sitting on Tsuki's bed with him in my arms, I didn't want to leave him alone.

"Hello, this is Boruto uzumaki"
"Hello, this is kawaki, can I have mum please?" I said. During these words, I tried hard not to show any weakness. The only people who knew me with emotions were the friends who were here, Himawari, Mum, Dad, Tsuki and especially Sumire.
"Ehm sure, wait," he said and got up to give me Hinata.
I heard Mum and Boruto's voice through the phone. Boruto told her who was on the line.
"Hello Kawaki, is everything all right?" she asked. She still sounded so cheerful.
"No mum...", I said and my voice changed abruptly, it sounded rather tearful, anxious and tender.
"What's wrong kawaki? Has something happened?" she asked worriedly.

I took a deep breath and started to stammer, "Sumire's mission has failed, she's in the intensive care unit... she might die... can you please come to us?"
I asked rather reluctantly, I didn't want to rush her or anything.
"Of course! I'll be on my way straight away!" she said.
"Thanks mum," I said.
We said goodbye and I lay down with Tsuki.
"Little one, I'm sleeping here tonight..."
"Good idea, Dad..."

There was nothing more to eat today, we all couldn't get a bite down, the picture of Sumire stayed in our heads. Tsuki drew something else and I looked at a picture of Sumire, Tsuki and me. I hugged it to my chest. Even the seconds dragged on in shitty moments like this, time didn't want to pass.  It felt like shit without Sumire, I missed her closeness and the scent of flowers in my nose, her lips on mine, her body against mine, everything...
I remembered our first kiss and the memories didn't make the situation any better. My longing grew and grew.
"Daddy...?"
"Yes, little one?"
"Can we go to sleep...? That will probably take a while...",
"Of course..."

Tsuki and I got ready for bed, I lifted him into bed and lay down next to him. Sumire's picture lay on my chest. Tsuki cuddled up close to me. When I was sure that Tsuki could sleep, I closed my eyes and when I was able to sleep, Sumire appeared in my dream. She was healthy and with Tsuki and me.
I woke up and realised that it was just a dream.
If only her were with us, I thought and tried to go back to sleep. I took Tsuki on my upper body and put my arms around him. He was so much like his mum, if she really died, it would be even harder for me.
