32 - Emotional Guilt

The next day, Amai Mask went to a modeling building while I went to a playground. The place was empty, which was good for me because I didn't want to see anyone. I lightly swayed back and forth on a swing as I held the onto the chains. 

My phone vibrated in my pocket, informing me that I got a message. I opened the text and saw that it was from Saitama. "Hey, how's it going?" He texted. 

I texted back,"Not so well. Just found out my mother's a murderer."

"Sorry to hear that."

"......."

"Hey, do you wanna get some lunch? I'm buying."

"No, thanks. Not really in the mood for food."

"Wanna go to the arcade?"

"No. I just wanna be by myself for a while."

"I understand."

"Thanks for checking up on me though."

"Anytime."

I put my phone away, then began swinging back and forth on the swing lightly. A pair of hands covered my eyes from behind. "Kiba, is that you?" I asked in a bored tone. "Surprise," He said, and sat in the swing next to me. "I see you're out of the hospital."

"Uh-huh." I said. "How are you feeling?" Kiba asked. "Okay," I answered. There was a short silence until I spoke up. "I went to go see my mother yesterday."

"Oh, really? How'd that go?" Kiba asked. "She admitted to killing my father. Then, she tried to kill me." I explained.

"In the hospital?!"

"Yep. Just proves how much of a nut she is. I know I shouldn't be saying that about her, but..."

I trailed off as I gazed at the dirt. "I'm a terrible daughter." I mumbled. "No, you're not." Kiba denied. I looked at him and noticed Akamaru wasn't with him. "Where's Akamaru?" I asked. "He ate something that made his stomach upset, so he's at the vet. Visiting hours closed about an hour ago." He answered.

"I'm sorry to hear that." I said. My gaze went tot he ground and I spotted a broken beer bottle on the ground. I picked it up before cutting my wrist with the broken end. "Hitomi, what are you doing? Stop! Don't do that!" Kiba said. 

He grabbed both of my wrists and yanked me to my feet. "Drop the bottle, Hitomi!" Kiba ordered. "No." I said. My hair covered my eyes as I turned my head to the side. "Drop it!" He ordered.

"No... I don't want to," I mumbled. "I deserve this. It's my fault why Mom is in the hospital. I convinced her I was some sort of demon, and now look where I got here. If I just followed her orders and kept my mouth shut... known of this would've happened."

My shoulders began to shake with sadness as I tried to contain my tears. "Kiba... Could you do me a favor?" I asked. "A favor?" He repeated, and I nodded. "Could you... Could you kill me?" I requested. "Hitomi..." Kiba whispered.

"Please... I just want to die. My whole life has turned upside down. Nothing is normal anymore. I lost my father. Now, my mother. So... please just kill me." I whispered as the broken bottle slipped from my grasp.

"No... I can't. I won't." Kiba said. He let go of my wrist and embraced me. Tears ran down my cheeks as my chin rested on his shoulder. "You may have lost your parents. But you didn't lose your friends. They're still here for you, and they all love you." He said. 

"But why did my world have to end up like this? What's the point of even living now?" I whispered.

"Things will get better, Hitomi. I know they will. Just please don't say you want to die because I know your friends wouldn't want that. Saitama loves and cares about you, Hitomi. And it's not just him. There's Genos, Mumen, Mr. Bang, Zombieman, and that Akuma guy. They all care about you. Even me. In fact, I don't just care about you, Hitomi. I love you." Kiba confessed. 

He broke the hug to look at me and moved my hair away from my face. I looked at him and he gently wiped my tears, then smiled at me. "I don't like to see you sad. It breaks my heart." Kiba said. I sniffled as more tears came to my eyes.

He placed his hand on my cheek, then kissed me. My eyes widened in slight shock before kissing him back. I really liked Kiba, but I didn't think our relationship would go this far. Kiba broke the kiss and blushed a bit. "Sorry. I guess I should've asked permission first." He said. 

I shrugged. "I didn't mind. I actually feel a bit better. And it was my first kiss." I admitted. "Mine, too." Kiba said. "Can we do it again?" I asked, shyly. "Sure. If you want to." He said. We kissed again and I wrapped my arms around his neck. 

"Wow. Things are getting real heated here."

I quickly broke the kiss and saw Akuma in a tree. He had a smirk on his face as he swung his legs back and forth. "Um, how long have you been sitting there?" Kiba asked. "For a while. And now I know how to get Hitomi to stop crying and feeling depressed; Just kiss her." Akuma joked. 

"Akuma!" I yelled. "Relax, I'm kidding," He laughed. "So, Hitomi. You really like this guy?" 

I blushed slightly and nodded my head. "Uh-huh. And... Kiba, was it? You like her back?" Akuma asked Kiba. "Yeah." Kiba answered.

"Mm-hm," Akuma stared at us for a moment, then said, "You better take care of her, Kiba. If you hurt her in any way, I will hunt you down and kill you. And don't worry, I'll make the death quick and painless." 

He was smirking the whole time he said. "Akuma, you better be joking!" I yelled again. Okay, now I'm happy again. "No, I'm serious." He stated.

"You jackass!" 

"Yep! Yo, Kiba! Keep making her happy!"

"Jerk!"

"Hurry up and kiss her again, Kiba!"

I sighed in irritation, grabbed Kiba's hand, and lead him away. "Are you guys gonna make out again?" Akuma called. "Shut up!" I called back, and I took Kiba into an alley way. "He must really like you. He seems to care an awful lot about you." Kiba mentioned. 

"Shut up and kiss me again." I said, pushing him against the wall. 

Kiba chuckled before saying, "With pleasure."

I laughed at his comment, then kissed him. He kissed back while holding my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, but I ignored it as I continued my make-out session with Kiba.
