Girls and Gunpowder

Chapter 8:

Kanade stood over looking the city and all it's lights. That word again. Light. Something she did not know. There was no room in the world for the darkness she held. Maybe things would be better handeled if she never object to everything. The breeze hit Kanades body telling her to do it.

The voice whispered in her ear as it flew across the city "You...are darkness...you deserve not to live...".

Kanade closedd her eyes "Yes, I do not deserve to live..".

Her foot dangled over the edge as she braced her self against the air. It cut her body like knives as she looked at the moon and stars for the last time. Kanade let go of life at that very moment.

"KANADE!!!". Shini caught her body still balancing on the floating disc.

She landed back on the roof laying down Kanade's body. Elliot, Ichi and Kazumi ran to her side. Her eyes softly shut dazing from reality. Elliot checked her wrist for the extremely weak pulse, and could feel her ice cold skin. The red cheeks turned into a light cinnamon.

"Chairman. Kanade is unconscious and Satomi has vanished. She will not awaken. Yes. Yes.". Ichi hung up his phone and began to pick up Kanade.

Shini slapped away his hands making the sound echo. The tears violently tore through her eyes as she glared at him.

"Do not touch her!". Shini picked up Kanade lugging her to the devestated hotel room.

"Umm..the chairman said the agency will be by to pick up Kanade and the girls. The search for Satomi will start any minute now. Also, sadly the rest of the tour is cancelled.". His eyelids felt like lead. Heavy with guilt and pain.

Elliot ran his hand through his hair facing the city. He let out large breath, then turned and slammed his fist into Ichi's nose sending him backward to the floor.

He held his nose with a look of disgust "What wa-"

"You idiot! All the chairman is going to do is run more test like he used to! Kanade was treated as a test subject when she was smaller! This will give him a chance to start that process again! You do not know how much pain she endured! You do not know how much they both have sacrificed! You are the biggest idiot in the world! This whole situation was your fault! You know nothing about Kanade! Yet you love her don't you?! No matter how much you try to deny it! Yea well news flash! You don't deserve someone like her! I can't believe you did that Ichi! You know the chairman is abusive to the girls!". Elliot paced the ground with his fist in a ball trying not to punch him once more.

Kazumi looked at them both. The anger grew inside him as he pulled the door from it's hinges sending it across the sky "I will be back.".

Satomi didn't know where she was, or really care where she was for that matter. An emptiness was in her soul and all she could hear were Kanade's words over and over. She felt dead, not caring to live if she couldn't be by her sister's side. Satomi sat high on the edge of a tall building looking over what might be someplace in Japan. The bright lights blurred together until she didn't see them at all. Instead she saw the gates to hell, visions she used to frequently get after that night 10 years ago. The vision of souls reaching up to pull her down almost comforted her. If she fell into hell everything would be better, Kanade could live without darkness around and Satomi would bury her soul in the darkest corner of Tartarus where the devil couldn't find it. Satomi tasted something salty and brought her hand to her cheek, they were soaked with tears. She hadn't cried since that night so the sobs quickly over took her.
