Chapter 9:
Sleep
(Saya, thought I'd try something a little different)
Those words, 'I want you to live.' They came from the mouths of two of the people she cared the most about, the two only family that she had left. Haji, Kai, it was so hard hearing it from them. It tore at her. Made her desires, her wants surface in a rush, over riding that which she had decided so long before.
"I have always loved you Saya." Those words, they did her in, she would live for him. He had been beside her the entire way, wavering only once. He had fought for her, protected her, cared for her, been patient for her, and he had waited for her every time she slept.
His face leaned against hers, they didn't have to talk to convey feelings anymore, they knew each other so well. She spoke and almost choked on her words peering up at him tears tracking down her face, and then he kissed her and she kissed back. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest her hand pressing against his warm chest lightly as his lips pressed against hers, her stomach flipped as he pulled back just a bit resting their foreheads together for just a moment.
And then she lost him in that last fight when he took her sword, he let her live, "HAJI!" his name was ripped from her very core, pain slashed along her heart and stomach and left her burning as Kai drug her and the babies away. She cried when no one could see her often hiding in her room with the babies as her heart throbbed.
"My sister Diva… my father… my little brother Riku…. My Haji."

"Saya!" Kai's voice brought her out of her stupor for the first time in days and she stirred in her bed, "Saya c'mon get up, enough, you've got to go to school." She rolled over to peer up at him, glad of her fast healing so that her eyes weren't still red and puffy. Her heart throbbed again and it took all of her will not to curl up and cry again, "Hey there sleepy head! Get up, I made lunch for you to take to school."
"I still can't believe you're not going back." She sat up running a hand through her messy hair, all to aware of the throbbing of her heart, and of the fact that she was getting sleepy. It was getting harder and harder to wake up each day, she hid it from them all.
"Yeah well… I want to open this place back up for Dad and Riku. Julia says it's time to name the babies now that she's got all the tests done." He was headed towards the door already, "We'll talk more when you get downstairs." Her door clicked shut and she sagged back against her headboard clutching at her heart as it throbbed, taking a deep breath she slid out of bed swaying as dizziness took over.
"Just a few more days left…" and with that she struggled into her clothes, her mind drifting back as she combed her hair, to a time when she had done it for someone much taller. She slid her hand along the wall as she descended the stairs, last thing she wanted was to fall and worry Kai, they'd all catch on if she did. He had breakfast waiting on her, she dropped into her seat keeping her eyes away from the two empty chairs that would never have their owners in them again.
"Have you thought of names yet?" she nodded reaching for her chopsticks she started stuffing her face, "Well?"
"Difa for fhe one wif…"
"Swallow first you idiot." He chuckled rolling his eyes at her at the same time. She gulped down her food.
"Diva for the one with blue eyes, I was named after my mother after all so one of them should be named after my sister. And Rika for the one with red, it's kind of a girl version of Riku ya know. I know I can't ever have my little brother and my sister back but this way their memory will live on." He nodded in agreement.
"Tell Julia when you go to the doctors today, it's time for you're transfusion." She winced, she hated them, besides it wasn't going to help, her sleep was approaching fast. Each day was worse then the next to her, the dragging feeling in her limbs, the unfocused nature of her mind, how easily she slipped into sleep, how her mind drifted back. As she walked to school she wiped away a stray tear, two days was all she had at the most, today she had to tell everyone that there was to be a party.
She really tried to concentrate, it was hard, her mind was so fuzzy, her heart ached images of Haji being crushed under a ton of rocks Amshels claws stuck through him pinning him to the crystallizing monster. It was Kai who took care of her, took her to the tomb to sleep, it was where she wanted to go, she wanted to be near the ocean, he'd look for her there. She had always wanted to see the ocean.
Even in her sleep she saw him, felt him, heard the sounds of a cello. In her sleep she smiled, her never changing body warming as sweet dreams flitted through her mind, of a soft sweet kiss when she needed it the most to live, a giving kiss when her hunger was about to destroy her, a passionate kiss that had been stolen away by her secret love. Even in her sleep there was always a dull throb under the warmth, tears slid down her cheeks from her closed eyes, to the outside world she had been asleep for a long time and they were waiting on her, to her she had been asleep for only hours and the pain hadn't gone away yet.
She felt the first stirrings of waking and fought against it, she didn't want to wake, he wouldn't be waiting for her this time, he wouldn't come find her this time.
"Do you think Auntie Saya will wake up today?!" two young voices chimed together, her heart twisted sharply as she continued to fight against waking. As much as she wanted to see her dear nieces, the last pieces of her brother and sister, she didn't want to wake, "Oh look! Another rose!" her heart paused and her eyes fluttered open.
A/N: I'm so sorry it took this long but a dear close friend of mine had a bit of a family crisis. Her dad had cancer and I was kinda helping her get through it. I want to thank everyone so much for their reviews, if I get to sixty I will be a happy kitty! And as a side note there will be one more chapter, it will be the last. This chapter is a little different, I was trying a new writing thingy I heard about, tell me if it's any good, and don't hold back if it's not or I'll… um… I'll think of something! Thankies, and I'm off to bed now, nini all!
Sally: That's a first….o.o
Alex: Shut up. All I can say is that I had to wait to go to the library and watch the last episode again…. Sadly.. stupid evil dial up! ARRRG!
