The Dragon Empress (Un-edited ver)

Part 22

Ryuga's POV

Knock knock I went down stairs and opened the door, "hello, come in." I said blankly and let everyone in, as expected everyone came, "Ryuga are you ok?" Yu asked me, I just gave a sad smile and nodded, Gingka came up to me, "We have not told everyone... I thought you would want to tell them..." "Ok... just get them to follow me, I left my phone in my room and I don't want to come back down..." "Guys we are moving up stairs, Ryuga has something important to tell us!" I walked up stairs to my room and got my phone, Madeline was still in her cabinet. I sat on my bed and ran my fingers through my hair, making it seem like I was stressed. My room was big so everyone could fit. "What is it that you have to tell us Ryuga?" Kenta asked me, I sighed, "well I have been feeling like crap all day, and I think it will only get worse..." I started, I pulled up the text on my phone and read it aloud, "'Dear Ryuga, you have made me feel so loved, I just want to tell you that I love you and goodbye, I have decided to kill myself, I don't have anyone to turn to for help, I have fallen into depression. Don't try to stop me, there is nothing else for me. I will see you in heaven my friend. Love-Madeline.' Guys Madeline is dead..." I said, doing my best to stay in my 'sad' state. Hands went over mouths and "Are you serious?!" Kyoya asked, shocked, I just nodded, "That is awful!" Yu exclaimed, "Yes it is, I miss her, I will never see her again." I lied, I would see her in less than an hour, hopefully, if they didn't stay that long, if they did, I would move her to my closet. "I miss her too, she was so nice and cool!" Yu said, at least one person missed her, "Yu, do you know what she did?" "Kyoya asked him angrily, "Yes, I do, Len kagamine kissed her, and Ryuga saw it, and it broke his heart and he was sad for like, until now and now he is more sad because she killed herself. I still like Madeline, not what Len did to her, but she is still my friend, just like I don't like what Ryuga did, but he is still my friend. I know you guys are not her biggest fan, but she is now gone and you all will never see her again... don't you guys feel anything other than hatred? Ryuga has forgiven her, and he was the one who saw it." there was a lot of murmurs, "Yu, thank you, I am glad someone misses her along with me." I thanked Yu, he was truly a good friend.

I made it seem like I was thinking of her by shaking and my fake tears started to fall, I felt Yu hug me, "Ryuga, it will be ok..." he told me. "But I won't see her again! She-she was everything to me, when I sent her away I-I didn't know I would do that to her..." The tears that fell were almost real, I thought of her, if she was really dead, I knew I would be worse. But it was as if she was, everyone here believed that she was, but only few were truly sad. "You all are heartless, you don't know what her life was like. When we were back at my village the people there killed her parents and took her in as a slave, she was whipped, when Kyoya and I saw her getting whipped when we were about five, we tried to put a stop to it. When I was kidnaped six years later, Kyoya was supposed to keep her safe, but then he left, and she was a slave for two years, getting whipped every night, when she did a good job at her work, two to four whips, but if she collapsed on the job, it was five to ten. Then when me and her went on our first date, the people of the village came, Josh, and whipped her again, with a worse whip until she was unconscious. She had so many nightmares, and I was busy a lot so I did not see her much at the time. When battle bladers ended, you guys know what happened, she was hurt by my possessed form, and ran away, when she ran she accidentally scraped and cut herself and she fell into a stream, and almost broke her leg, and then Kyoya yelled at her, making her run more and fall into a ditch, hit her head and break her leg. She was in a coma for three weeks, then a few months later, she was invited to go and sing with Len Kagamine, her favorite singer. He kissed her, and I saw, and it broke my heart, and I shattered hers by leaving her and telling her I hated her. She fell into depression and started purposely hurting herself, by cutting her arms and opening her scars. Then, having everyone hating her and having no one to turn to for love, she decided to kill herself, by jumping off a cliff." Real tears fell from my eyes, and I thought I heard a sniffle from the cabinet. This was Madeline's sad life, I felt bad for telling it in front of her. Everyone looked at me, "That was Madeline's life? It was that miserable?" Madoka asked me. I nodded, I did not trust my voice, "Madeline... She is really gone?" Gingka asked, looking sad, I nodded, it would still be a while before they truly missed her, but this was a start, "Ryuga, we are sorry, we didn't accept her after what she or len did. We were all wrong," they all started to cry, and poor Madeline, I would probably need to move her to the closet, "If you all don't mind, could I have a minute to myself, I need to calm down, please." I asked, they nodded, "I will be down in a moment. Thank you." They walked out of the room, I shut the door, and locked it. I went to my nightstand and opened the cabinet, Madeline was crying, "Are you ok?" I whispered, she nodded, and got out, "Can I move to the closet?" she asked me in a whisper, "that's why I came to get you. I'm sorry but I need this." I told her and kissed her lips passionately, "I couldn't stand it if you were dead," I said and kissed her again. After a minute of kissing, we heard Madoka ask me if I was alright. "I am f-fine," I stuttered, we were still crying. And I kissed Madeline once more, "Alright, I am sorry I have to leave you, but I need to tend to my guests." I told her, pulling away and whispering in her ear. She nodded and walked to my closet, where it was much more roomy. I held her hand, and it was hard for me to leave her there. Her being alive was a hard secret to keep, but we both needed them to not know, or else they might not accept her. I kissed her one last time and went down stairs.
