chapter 30- the inevitable

Author's note: This is the last chapter for after this is already the epilogue :D

Yuri's POV

12 years.

It's been that long since I left NOWHERE, the place which held so many fond memories in my mind, both happy and tragic times that I don't think , I'll ever forget.

As I sat down by a bench under a cherry blossom tree, here in Tokyo, and as the wind flew swiftly, I can't help, but recall the LAST moments that I had with THEM.  Also the REASON on why, I had to leave in the first place.

When my biological father finished telling me, the part where they met with mom, and had to separate because of Dad being DIFFERENT.

He was stroking my hair by then, for I was crying my heart out,simply because I felt GUILTY for everything.

"But Yuri, there's something else that you should know"

 I looked up to him with tears still streaming down my face as I ask: "What is it?" I was trying hard not to make my voice break.

He looked me straight in the eye as if he was getting nervous on what he was about to say, but still he continued: "It's about me"

His words totally were a puzzle to me, for I had no idea where he was getting at. I mean, what else should I know more about?

I just wiped my tears and sat properly, waiting for him to just go on.

"I'll go straight to my point, I only have few months to live"  there again with tears! I seem to have a lot of supply today.

"Wha?" was the only thing that escaped my mouth for I feel like the most unlucky person in the entire universe. I just met my dad then he's going to be taken from me? Fate is really cruel.

"It's okay for I already knew about it"

"Okay?! Okay?! Maybe for you, but for me its not! Have you ever thought of, how I will feel? How alone I'll be again?! Dad, please..please tell me you're just joking"  I was coming near him, and pleading that all of this is just a joke.

But when I saw his eyes formulating tears then it was enough to know that he's not joking, and he's serious about this.

I just put my hands to my face, as I continue to cry. 

"Yukina" he called me, by my real name, and I turned out to hug, holding him so tight that I don't ever want to let him go.

That was the reason on why, I was gone for one week after the year-end festival. I lied about it, for I know that it's going to be complicated if I talk about it, so with a week with dad, I learned a lot, but I know its all just temporary, but its better than nothing. 

I wasn't planning to leave him, but he wanted me to go, and be with my FRIENDS, to enjoy my youth and all, but how could I, knowing that another important person to me, has his life hanging by a thread, and that anytime it would break and he would just have to leave. And that, I have to be alone AGAIN.

So the day with Ryuuji actually DISTRACTED me about it, but when the ball came, it was when I was slapped with reality again.

Actually, the thing that I was looking for was the RING, and when I found it, Kyouyi was waiting by the entrance of the dorm.

"What are you doing here?" I still hate his guts, and I don't know why.

His face looks dead serious, and he has this dark aura around him: "The chairman is--" He doesn't even need to finish his statement, for me to rush to the clock tower where I know, he is staying.
