The Beginning of the End

 

“Harou!” Rila tried to get Harou's attention as she ran up to him while he was walking down the street.

“Hi!” He returned with a friendly smile. Rila caught up to him and quickly kissed him, Harou couldn't help but continue to smile. But as they walked down the street, holding hands and talking about events going on in their lives; Harou couldn't help but feel something, something bad.

They arrived at Rila's house, and as Harou said goodbye, Rila gave him another kiss, but this time, the kiss didn't seem to end, at least not the way you would expect. All of the surroundings faded away, and then Rila followed. Harou was left alone in the dark…

 

Harou opened his eyes as he felt a drop of water hit his face, followed by a second one a few seconds later. He sat up and tried to focus…then he remembered; Rila! Without a second though Harou was gone, and within just a few minutes he was already out of the city and at Rila's house. He knocked on the door, trying to maintain his calm, but he was…afraid. There was no answer from the house, he knocked harder, and the door creaked open…it was unlocked, that can't be good. He went inside and looked around, no one was home. He tried to focus once more, tried to be calm. He finally found where Rila was; the forest. Only a mile away, Harou was there in less than ten seconds.

 

Harou froze up when he spotted her, Rila…she was laying on the ground. No! Harou rushed over to Rila, This can't be happening. He knelt down beside Rila, lost in thought, trying to get a grip on reality. This…isn't real…Harou tried to convince himself, he was hoping it was just a dream; but it wasn't.

Harou lifted Rila into his arms and held her head near his, held her close. She has to be alive!

She was alive, “…Harou?” She said in a weak voice. Harou snapped to attention.

“Rila?!” He was so happy to see her alive.

“Harou…I…I'm sorry.”

“What? Why?”

“I…can't stay…”

“No, you have to, you can't die!” Harou was speaking fast, he felt like he had little time to speak…and he did. Rila was slipping away while in his arms.

“Harou…I'm sorry…”

“I won't let you die!” But it was too late, there was nothing Harou could do now. Harou held her close.

“Harou…kiss…me…one last time.”

“No, it won't be the last time, you won't die, I won't let you!”

“There's…nothing you…can do now. Just…kiss me.” There was nothing Harou could do but do what Rila said. He didn't want to believe she was going to die, but he still kissed her, a kiss that could have lasted the rest of their lives; a kiss that did last for the rest of Rila's life. Rila's gentle hand fell from its idle position at Harou's cheek as the life slipped out of her body.

Harou was on his knees holding his girlfriend's body in his arms. He's not able to believe this happened, how could it? He's never done anything to deserve it, he's always protected the world…but why? What has the world ever done for him?

Harou was losing his grip, he was fighting a battle inside that he had no hope of winning. He took Rila back to her house, so that the next unlucky person who finds her body can deal with it. As for Harou, he would be long gone, he already had a lock on his target; Irasuke. He was going to pay…with his life!
