I'd always go back for you

Chapter 4 - sadness

"Where's Mito and the others?" Asked Shinya, "I left her in charge until I got back but I'm assuming that they will have moved to a different area by now so I'm not sure how we're going to meet them" said Guren.

"If we run into any vampires or any of the four horsemen of john along the way back were screwed" said Shinya wiping blood of the side of his face, "it's gonna be fine, we're gonna make it back Shinya" said Guren. "And what if we don't" said Shinya "Guren face reality here, you can still make it back" said Shinya.

Guren stopped "don't even say it" said Guren "don't you dare tell me to leave you behind Shinya" he yelled. "Just what I'd expect from you Guren, you refuse to leave comrades behind, but this time you need to. I'm dragging you down and your getting tired. If you just go now then you'll be fine"

Much to Shinya's surprise when he looked up at Guren he found that Guren was crying, "I'm not leaving you" he said "we both promised ages ago to never leave one another behind" said Guren, "and I'd always go back for you Shinya"

Shinya wiped away Guren's tears, "would you rather I die or both of us die?" He asked, "cause that's what we're looking at here" said Shinya his breathing now getting slower. Shinya fell to the ground and this time he didn't get back up again.

Guren dropped to his knees beside Shinya and grabbed hold of his hand, "don't leave Shinya, stay here you have to stay in this world" said Guren, "I don't want to leave, Guren" said Shinya "there's so many things I want to stay in this world for, but it's not up to me it's up to how much blood I have left".

Guren hung his head crying, refusing to look at Shinya, refusing to believe that his friend might be dying and there was nothing he could do about it. Shaking, Shinya slowly raised his hand against Guren's face. "Guren" he whispered "would it be crazy if I kissed you right now?"

Guren shook his head "that wouldn't be crazy" he whispered lowering himself against Shinya and slowly leaning his soft lips against Shinya's velvety ones. There kiss lasted for about twenty seconds before Guren realized that Shinya was no longer breathing.

Guren cried out in a voice he never knew existed, pure sadness was all he felt right now. Not hatred for the Nobles that did this, Not rage for not finding Shinya quicker. All he felt was sadness, he knelt there next to Shinya for a while until he picked up Shinya's limo body and carried him in a piggyback.

"Even if it's too late now" whispered Guren, "I'm still not leaving your body behind" he said as he started to walk back along the road in hope to find the others
