Drawing Death...|| Amasai

-Chapter 9-

-Kyoko's POV-

This is an unfortunate event for me. Yet an inevitable one.

I would have liked to not have involved my old apprentice and partner Saihara, but he was already involved with the case so I guess there is no way he couldn't have. Still..I would have rathered him not see me like this.

He seems too stressed often, always working overly hard on cases he gets to make sure he dosen't disappoint people. He really is a easy book to read if you look hard enough. He seems better though.

I think the two that are here with Saihara have made good progress in helping him have better confidence.

Im glad. I was worried. I smile under the bandages on my face to only have stop aubruptly from a shock of pain going through my mouth.

I hate being in such a weak state. I can't even share my thoughts with the other detective in this room. I wonder has this incident been reported to anyone? How long till the others find out and make their way over? Probably not to long...god Makoto please don't come and see me like this..

I heard tapping sounds out in the hallway like someone was running this way. I jumped when the door to my hospital room opened swiftly.

" Kyoko?! "

There standing in the door way was a very worried Makoto. Of course he'd find out and get here before the others.

He rushed to my side with tears in his eyes. " K-Kyoko..what happened? A-As soon as I-I heard I rushed over. " He spoke in a panicked and studdery tone.

I look over to the others that were in the room to see if they would tell him. Since I could no longer speak. Saihara perked up and turned to Makoto. " W-Well she got into a... fight I guess you could say with the group The Silent Scream. She almost became their next victim, having her tongue cut..out a-and a stab wound in her thigh.. " He trailed off at the end. Makoto's eyes widened in shock looking from me to Saihara.

"...o-oh..my g-god..Kyoko! I-Im so sorry.." Makoto crumbled to his knees beside my bed and laid his head on the side of it. As he cried softy into the sheets.

This..is why I didn't want you to be here..your too fragile.

I looked down at him with concern in my eyes. I placed my hand softy on the top of his head gently rubbing it. He looked up at me with little tears in his eyes.

" Hey...at least she's alive right? Think of the positive. It could have been worse, but it wasn't. And hey she managed to kill the leader of the group." Um..Amami was it spoke up. His words seemed to help Makoto a bit. He had sat up and wiped the tears from his face.

" She's pretty awesome, huh? " Akamatsu had spoken up afterward with a warm smile.

" Y-Your right. Um..not to be rude.. who are you all? " Makoto had said looking to all of them.

" I'm Rantaro Amami. I'm the one who found and brought her here. " He points to Saihara next to him. " This is Shuichi Saihara. Kyoko's old partner and he works on the case that she got mixed up with. So I called him up to come over. " He then points to Akamatsu. " And that's Kaede Akamatsu. She had come along with Saihara. "

" Ah..thank you all for coming and being here. You can all go when you like I'll most likely spend the night here with her. Also a few other of our friends will be coming over soon. " Makoto smiles warmly to them all. With a small appreciative bow of his head.

" Of course. We will be gone soon. " Amami spoke with a smile that soon turned to me. " Feel better Kirigiri. We might come back later. " He gives me a small wave before standing up and walking out of the room.

" U-Um..yeah, Kirigiri please do get better soon. " Saihara said as he stood up and walked out too.

" Yes, do feel better. I'm sorry this happened to you. " Akamatsu stood up and followed the other two.

-Rantaro's POV-

Saihara, Akamatsu, and I walked out of the hospital in silence. None of us really knew what to say after that.

But we all knew one thing.

That this was just the beginning.

Everything would start to crumble beneath our fingers and the grasp on our normal lives would soon weaken. Our lives forever changed and intertwined into this group's deeds.

It was only a matter of time before we met face to face with one of them.

It could be anyone. Someone we pass on the street a close friend. Who knows?

It's a scary thought. An all to real one I must add.

" Hey Amami? " Saihara spoke quietly to me as we walked. I turned my head to him.

" Hm? What is it? "

" You were the one who found her right? So that means they will be after anyone who knew the leaders face. Meaning you. It makes sense d-doesn't it? " He spoke starting with confidence and slowly losing it to worry.

I nodded. " Your right. Seems I'm in more danger as well. " I chuckled halfheartedly. To soon be stopped by Saihara pushing me lightly with his elbow as he glared at me. " What? "

" I-It's not funny this is serious. " He grumbled.

" I know, I know. " I responded with my hands up to surrender.

" You need someone to stay with you too. Do you have anyone you could ask?" He said concern still plastered across his face. His face tells me that he will not let me go if I don't get someone to stay with me at this point.

" Ah..nope. I don't want to endanger anyone else with this. But I'll be fine. " I smile reassuringly at him.

" Wha..t? T-then if you don't want to bring anyone else into this. I'll stay with you! " He spoke with confidence while pointing his finger at me to make it all more serious. He soon shrunk back a little after realizing his outburst. "Ah...um..s-sorry. " He mumbled looking away from me.

" Hahaha no, no it's absolutely fine. I like this side of you Saihara. I'd like to see it more. " I chuckled lightly with a smile at him. " And about your demand you can stay with me at my house if you'd like. "

" Really?! Ah..um..yeah really? " Saihara looks at me with a small smile as he stops walking.

" Of course. And I'm sure it will benefit Akamatsu too. She can go back home and collect after all this. We did drag her into our mess. " I turn to her and smile. She smiles back warmly with a nod.

" Sounds like a plan! " She speaks with a smile as she starts to happily walk off to Saihara's house. And we follow behind her.
