«Byakuya Togami»
The sky is black- blacker than anything I've ever seen. Not even the glowing pinpricks of stars can shine through the inky velvet cover- not even the moon.
I hold Makoto's hand as we walk through the night, to the train tunnel. I only have two things in my pocket- ¥50,000,000-and a loaded gun.
Makoto rubs his eyes, checking the time on his cracked phone-
2:57
"3 minutes..." He mumbles.
"Makoto." I stop, pulling his head into my hands, staring into his beautiful jade eyes. "I need you to understand. Do not risk you life in there. I will do the talking, you stay behind me."
Makoto's eyes widen. "But-"
"No buts. I-" would rather die than see you injured. "I can't let you get hurt for that blue haired girl, right?"
Makoto hugs me, burying his head deep into my chest.
"We'll be fine." He mumbles, but his voice wavers.
The arch of the tunnel looks like a gaping mouth, two weak yellowy lights like eyes. We descend done the steps in silence, stopping at the platform. The clock reads 3:00 am.
The place is filthy and abandoned- you can access here, but the train won't stop- it's more of a tunnel, with two rails for each train, and a platform on the other side and a thin strip of concrete separating them. Now, it's been overtaken by nature- rats skirt over the tiles and vines crawl across bricks- and frequented by drug addicts in the day and people who have given up on life at night.
"SAYAKA!" Yells Makoto.
"ShHhH! They could be here. This is probably a trap." I hiss. I'm already pulling Makoto away, away from the tracks. "Go, GO-"
"Makoto! Makoto!"
"There she is!" Makoto yelps, tearing away. Sayaka struggles up from the floor of the other side. Her eyes are dull, vomit stains her shirt and her hair has been hacked of to shoulder length. But she's alive, struggling to her feet.
"Makoto! Byakuya! You're here-" she sobs, arms outstretched.
"Sayaka! We're coming!" He goes to leap over the tracks to the middle platform.
"Makoto! MAKOTO!"
He tumbles forwards.
Rushing wind,
Clattering wheels,
Blinding lights.
Screaming. My screams. Her screams. His screams
Clatter clatter clatter-
And he's gone.
