Samurai Deeper Kyo Fan Fiction ❯ Thinking about ... ❯ Chapter 3: One last Breath ( Chapter 3 )

A/N: hi everybody, I wanted to thank you for your reviews. Thanks ^^

Î surfed on the net, and I found some pages of volume 21, they have been somewhat translated into French, that's too great!!! ^^

Now, to the reviews:

To luna-magic-2005: thanks you, and I'll take care about the sentence breaks, it's only that I wanted to have different paragraphs, and well it didn't come out as I wanted it, but thank you for your advice!

To Rin Amaru: hey it's normal that I make some errors, English isn't my first language!! ^^ but thank you nonetheless. I also hate to wait so long for the next books. (Mind you, volume 21 only appears in July, grrrr) I hope I'll become better. ^^

To LadyWater: I always wanted to write, and I have already written some things, but you know, I don't have that much time and I have to imagine the story in pictures, so it's hard to write something down for me. I have a great idea for real book, it's been 2 years old now, but I don't know if I should write it or simply make up a comic. So now you see my problem to visualize my thoughts. Thank you ^^, I hope I'll become better one day!

So now here we are, another chapter, have fun, and tell me if something's wrong!!! ^^

Chapter 3: One last Breath

Kyo smiled and without turning his head said: “Took you a long time”.

Who was he talking to? We're all here, the only one we left behind was the dead Taihaku … … unless, unless he followed us.

I slowly turned around and glanced at the shadows. There he stood, as if nothing has happened … Hotaru.

Immediately I recalled our conversation about his half-brother. “I will kill him” he had said back then.

Would he really … slay his own brother?

She couldn't understand so much hate. For her, her brother has meant everything to her, she loved him, and he has always been there for her.

No, not her brother … Nozumo Shiina, Sakuya's brother.

I don't have anybody, but I still love my brother, I couldn't bring myself to think otherwise of him. He had always protected her.

But now, no one is there for me.

“I don't know what you want traitor? Who do you think you are?” shouted Shinrei. Hotaru only smiled and continued to get closer, till he stopped at Kyo's side.

“He's mine, and you know that”.

Kyo only nodded but stayed where he was and glared at Shinrei.

“You can't save her, can you? The only way to save her, will be to kill me”, “But there's a problem, she hasn't enough time, She'll die in a few minutes. And till then, do you really believe that you can beat me?” snarled Shinrei.

“This time, there's no one to stop our fight”, murmured Hotaru and lounged forward to retrieve his sword. He immediately passed at the offensive.

Not stopping, flames dancing around him. But Shinrei didn't budge. And so their fight became more and more violent and fast.

 

I couldn't even see their movements, I was so distracted by the fight, that I didn't notice that Kyo had come to my side and looked at the combat with an emotionless face.

It was then that I felt the Dragon squeeze my heart. I fell, darkness beginning to invade me.

No, not now, I don't want to die. Help me, I don't want to. Help me … Kyo.

“… Kyo” I muttered as I fell down. But before I touched the ground, I felt his hands around me, holding me in his arms.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to show him my fears, my weakness. I grabbed his sleeve and pulled hard. He held me tighter in response, surprising me with that gesture.

“… Kyo” I repeated, I forced these words out, wanting to tell him that I didn't want to go, and I didn't want to die.

“Be strong” he murmured in my ear, and startled me so much that my breathing quickened and it hurt me much more than before. “Don't go now” my eyes widened as I heard him and wanted to answer him, to reassure him, but the only thing that passed over my lips was blood. Crimson red blood.

“Yuya … No. Be strong” shouted the others. Benitora and the others couldn't do anything else that watch as life flowed out of Yuya's body. Their concern for me surprised me a bit, because I always felt alone after my brother's death, even after I met them.

Tears threatened to break out, but I won't, I won't cry now. No, he asked me to be strong, so I won't cry. I won't die.

As I looked up I saw his face, his eyes, his entire being, and I saw concern.

He cared for me.

I didn't believe my eyes, as I lay there in his arms.

I wanted to smile at him, to touch his face, to say thank you, but only more blood came up. I started trembling and gasping for more air, but it only worsened.

Kyo held me closer and tightened his grip.

The pain became unbearable, I couldn't take it anymore, and I wanted to die. As I opened my eyes again, his face has come even closer and I saw even more solicitude for me in his eyes.

“Don't go”, he repeated.

I slowly and painfully raised my and touched his cheek, I gulped the next wave of blood down and murmured, “I will never … leave you … I will always … be with you … I promise”.

 

A/N: Another short chapter, but don't worry I'm writing a new one!! ^^
