BAREFACED

Chapter 94

Your heart beats faster causing you to badly hyperventilate. You clench onto Asuka's shirt. Mikey pulls his phone out and calls for an ambulance. You slightly touch her hand, its cold.

Not long later the ambulance shows. You watch as they carry her off the beach. A bunch of people who are still at the beach or are leaving watch as the paramedics make their way to the ambulance. You slowly follow behind looking emotionless but feeling like you are about to fall apart. 

"YUKI!" A voice shouts. You slowly look in the direction of her. Asuka's sister. She runs up to you as the ambulance leaves. She has an angry but defeated look on her face. "Why didn't you call when you found her!" She shouts.

"Ayame..." You slowly say. She stops moving. Her eyes widen when you say her name. She grits her teeth quickly getting closer to you but Mikey stops her. She glares at you when he does and then quickly leaves. Your eyes relax and you slowly stumble towards Mikey's bike. 

"Yuki..." Mikey says in a soft tone.

"Can you take me to the bakery..." You say in a low tone.

"But-"

"Please." You interrupt. Mikey's eyes relax and he slowly nods.

You sit on the curb in front of the bakery for a good thirty minutes, examining the banana milk in your hands. Your eyes blank and tired. Someone stops in front of you. You sit still staring down at their shoes, not moving at all.

"Yuki..." Izana softly says. You feel his hand rub your shoulder, a tear falls from your eyes and you shove your face into your knees. He sits down beside you and wraps his arm around you. "Are you okay?"

"I don't know..." You softly say. You hold up the banana milk again. "I'm tired." You say in a low tone. 

"It's getting dark..." He says leaning forward to make you look at him.

"Mmm..."

"What's wrong.... why are you sitting outside like this?" He asks. You pull your face away from your knees and you take a deep breath.

"There's so much going on... so much that I don't really understand it." You softly say, holding up the banana milk a bit. "I hate her so much... yet I feel sad for her at the same time."

"Huh?"

You slowly look at Izana, a tired look in your eyes. 

"I don't know how to explain it... just ignore what I said."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah..."

Izana sits still, still looking at you. Your mind feels like its overworking itself. From Asuka to what Mikey said. 

"I think..."

"Mmm?"

"I think I'm just hungry..." You slowly say.

"Me too." He agrees. You stand up and brush yourself off.

"Let's go eat then." You softly say, holding your hand out towards him. He grabs your hand, allowing you to pull him with you.

Emma lays down on the floor in the dojo at her house. Hina sits beside her.

"Augh... my head hurts." Emma whines.

"Probably all that sugar you ate." Draken answers.

"Mmm..." Emma groans.
