What's your name?

Chapter 13

No matter what, we will always be together. That is the promise we made. Well, I have to say that none of us wanted this outcome. It should not have happened, but when we are all off guard, there is nothing we can do, right? This confirmed my thought. All I want to do is take it back, make it different, make it better, but that isn't the case.

All of a sudden, 'my savior' lurches towards me. Everyone was so surprised that none of us moved as he came in our direction. Or rather, should I say, my direction. He landed on top of me with a knife in his hand. I ended up laying down again from the force and shock. I wanted to scream, but there was no sound coming out.

"I should have killed you along with your family Kio! I hate you! No one beats me up! No one! I don't care who you think you are, but I know who I am. Do you know what day it is?" I was not exactly sure...

"Friday perhaps?" He smirks.

"Wrong doll face. It is the day of your death. You will finally get to be with your family again! I hate you so much! I can't even stand to look at you, you ungrateful little brat!" My heart felt like it stopped at that point and I begin to wonder if he had stuck the knife in me yet. I shut my eyes because I do not want to see his face. I still couldn't shake the feeling that I knew him from somewhere...

I hear a boy scream out in pain and my eyes jolt open. Tk had grabbed my savior's arm and was pressing the knife into his shoulder. All the more power to you Tk! Cameron dragged my savior off of me so that I could breath again. I felt my heart resume beating. Now what should we do? I don't want to kill him, but I cannot flee either...

I think my heart skipped a beat just then. I did know this boy. He said his name was... "Yoshi! That is your name right?!" My savior just looked at me and laughed. He laughed despite the pain in his shoulder and despite being pinned to the ground by Cameron. He shook his head.

"How dare you compare me to that inferior being. No doll, my name is Tatsu. You are pathetic, you know that?! You are just as bad as that little brat! I hate you!" Just then, the nurse walks in and tazes Tatsu. She leaves it in him for about 30 seconds. By then, he is completely dazed. The nurse takes him in her arms and walks out the door with him. We hear an ambulance driving away. How strange...

I look over at my boys. They are splattered with blood. How sickening it is to think that Tatsu would not be bothered by this... My boys come up to me and fold their arms across their chest. "Explain Kio. What did you do now?" I sigh.

"Back in our old city, there was a boy who was beating up two girls. They were young children, a pair of twins. The little girls were maybe 7 at best and the boy looked to be about two years older than I was. I was 15 at the time. I couldn't let the poor girls get punished, they didn't do anything wrong. So I walked over and beat up the boy. He asked me what my name was and so I told him it was Kio, just like I tell everyone else. Then I walked away." My boys still looked at me with cold expressions.

Cameron spoke first. "Why weren't we there?!"

Then Tk asked a more interesting question. "So who is this Yoshi kid?"
