Don't Fall
by DragonSoul



gone. Yoji Kudou, consumate playboy and emotional healer of our team is gone. Doesn't sound right does it? Yoji's immortal. He can't die. He'll always be there, a shoulder to cry on, or a funny comment to cheer you up when your depressed. But it's true. He's gone. Dead.
watched out for all of us, even though it may not seem like it. He made sure that Ken never got depressed over all the kills he's made, that I ate right and that Aya didn't work himself to exhaustion. It's not the same without him now.

Ken's lost all reason, teetering on the brink of insanity. He hardly talks anymore. He's become trapped within himself. Another Fujimiya Ran, but worse. Without Yoji's stability, Ken no longer differentiates our targets from the civilians. He kills anyone who stands in our way.
Aya's become a ghost of himself.He never speaks anymore, and goes through our missions mechanically. The last time he spoke, it was to me. One word. "Cry." That's all. But as much as he may wish it, I can't obey. I've forgotten how to cry. But that isn't all. He's dying inside, and that's reflecting on his exterior. He hasn't eaten decently in days, and his face is gaunt from insomnia.
won't admit it, and it isn't apparent, but of the three of us, I'm the worst off. He died in my arms after all, after taking a bullet meant for me. My grades have dropped, and I'm failing most of my subjects. I couldn't care less. I know I'm losing alot of weight but I'm just not hungry anymore and I haven't been sleeping. If I do, it's only a few hours before I'm driven from my bed by nightmares or memories.
Ken nor Aya knew it, but Yoji was my support in more ways then one. We loved each other. I can't even go near his room at the end of the hall without crying and being in mine is painful.
gets me is that I have no one left to turn to, but I'm supporting everyone else. Ouka's dead, Ran and Ken have their own problems, and Aya's busy just keeping her brother sane. I can't turn to anyone at school or online. Probably the only people left who'd understand is Schwarz but I'm not about to go and visit the people who killed the man I loved.
Ran and Ken are dying inside, then I'm already dead. I was dead the minute the bullet left the gun. It's just a matter of destroying the shell that traps me now.
want to know the last thing he said before he died? "Don't fall." Not I love you, or anything else like that. I didn't understand until I got up here to the roof of our apartments so I could get away from the bleakness inside.
knew that I wouldn't be able to live very long without him. I don't know how he knew or why I grew to love him so much, but it happened. So instead of stating the obvious when he died and telling me he loved me, he told me to keep my pride. If I'm going to jump, then jump. Don't let myself fall.
may hurt the ones that I leave behind, but I'm going to take his advice. I've been letting myself fall for far too long. It's time for me to jump of my own accord.
if no one investigates my suicide, I know some one will find my journal and read it. That's why I'm saying this now and not telling them in person. This is the last time I'm going to be a coward and let myself fall.
Ken, I love you. Don't fall.



smiled tremulously as he set down his journal and pen. "Well Yotan. It's time. I've been away for a month, but I can't take it any longer. It's time I stopped falling." Taking one look at the door leading back inside, Omi knew that once he made a move either way, there'd be no changing his mind. It was either jump and keep his pride, or keep falling forever.
Ken, Ran. I love you both." Omi whispered as he set one foot on the edge of the roof, then stepped up. "Don't fall."
the air was whistling past him.
