Generations: Part Two
Version A
Chapter twenty-three
"Please, Sakuma-san, calm down."
"But if Koichi is here, he might come after Kess and…."
"K will make sure Koichi doesn't come near your son. Please calm down." Shuuichi stood frustrated trying to calm down the older man.
"But Koichi…."
"There's no more need to worry." Yuki stepped into the room, face expressionless. "Koichi's dead."
"What? But K was only going to capture him…."
"It wasn't K's doing—Koichi apparently killed himself, in the elevator before K could get to him." Yuki calmly spoke, turning around to leave the room. "K just told me—now I'm going to see how Tohma's doing…."
"Yes, I'll come too." Shuuichi, calmer himself now, followed Yuki out the door, leaving Ryuuichi behind with Kess.
"…that's….that's not how I wanted it to go…." Kessuke muttered, his right hand digging into his thigh. "I didn't want him dead…."
"Kess…." Ryuuichi could only stare as tears came to his son's eyes, confused at why his son would cry over Koichi.
"I know all he did was wrong—but he didn't deserve that. And he must've regretted what he did if he killed himself. I should know….I….tried to…."
"Kess, please don't…."
"Don't bring up my past attempts? I can't help it—I can't help thinking of my attempts, what I felt like during them after hearing about Koichi's suicide." Kess' tears fell freely now as Ryuu placed his hand over his own mouth to keep from sobbing.
"Kess…."
Suddenly Kess' eyes gleamed and he looked Ryuu directly in the eye.
"Do you want to know the reason why I tried to kill myself the first time?"
"Kess, don't…."
"It's because I thought I was stealing Ta-chi from you—it was after me and him first did it…."
Ryuu slightly blushed and trembled hearing Kess' words—seeing Kess in tears caused him to tremble even more.
"Kess…that's in the past…." Ryuu bit the inside of his cheeks in thought. "Please don't…."
"And I stole Ta-chi from Koichi—Koichi loved him, that's why he tried to shoot me….if I wasn't in the picture—not only would Ta-chi not be dead, but Koichi would…."
"You had nothing to do with Koichi killing himself. That was all his doing."
"But I can't help thinking how hurt he must've been….I know what it's like to be that hurt….to feel that pain."
Ryuu, at a loss of what to say, merely wrapped his arms around his son, holding him against his chest as Kess cried.

Tohma awoke three hours later in the intensive care ward of the hospital, surrounded by his family, Mika sitting on a chair next to his bed. As he slowly stood up, head pounding from where the bullet hit, someone spoke:
"He's awake, thank god."
Hearing that Mika looked up, stared for a moment at her husband and then wrapped her arms around him, crying tears of relief.
"Thank god, you're alive, Tohma….I've been worried sick—first Toya and now you…."
For a few seconds Tohma looked at Mika strangely before politely pushing her away and asking:
"Who are you? Who are all of you?"
