Chapter Six: Unrelenting Phantoms

By: Asura Mori

What have I done? This life doesn't make sense anymore to me. What have I done? Does nobody see the taint of guilt upon my heart? The sense of wrongness upon my features? What have I done? Nobody out there even knows what I've done... except for him... God, help me...

"Your friend got lucky. It was only a shoulder wound, so he should be out in a couple of days." I heard the doctor telling Ayumu, who had a nervous, worried smile on his face. "So, he's going to be all right?" Ayumu asked, glancing over at me before looking back at the doctor. The doctor nodded and also looked over at me, before turning back to Ayumu. "Like I said," she smiled, clutching her clipboard to her chest, "He should be out of the hospital in a few days, but..." she looked over at me again, and this time continued to look at me, "Are you two sure that you don't know who the shooter was?" Ayumu shook his head, but I just kept my head in my lap, refusing to even look up. I couldn't bare this interrogation and I wanted so badly to just stand up and scream that I had done it. I had shot Kanone. But something held me back.

"All right, then. He should be waking up soon. Would either of you... like to see him?" the doctor asked, her eyes fixing on me. I looked over at Ayumu first, who just nodded and made a shooing motion. "All right." I said, standing up. The doctor smiled and indicated that I should follow her. I looked back at Ayumu one more time and saw that he was also watching me. When he saw that I was looking at him, he quickly looked away. I turned to regard the doctor, who was patiently waiting for me. "Could you give me a second?" I asked, pointing back towards Ayumu. "I'll be waiting right here for you." was her only reply, but I took that as an okay. I walked back over to Ayumu, who was sitting down now on one of those hospital chairs. "Ayumu... we need to talk." I stood before him, waiting for him to acknowledge.

He looked up at me, a dark gleam in his eyes. "What's there to talk about, Eyes?" he asked, his voice amused, "Just hurry up and go see your boyfriend." "Ayumu... what happened in the park-" "Doesn't need an explanation. I know what I saw, Rutherford." he interrupted coldly, "And what I saw was you two kissing in the middle of the park, even though you did shoot him afterwards." "Ayumu, it wasn't like that." I said, annoyed, "Why aren't you giving me the chance to explain?" "What is there to explain, Eyes?" he asked, his voice bitter, "If you loved him so much, why did you even bother messing around with me?" "Ayumu..." I wanted to deny it, wanted to deny that I loved Kanone, but I couldn't. Because somewhere in my heart, I knew that I did love Kanone... but at the same time, I also loved Ayumu. "... Ayumu. I can't deny that somewhere deep in my heart, I do still love Kanone... But I love you also... are my words even reaching your heart?" I asked, crouching so I could look him in the eyes, "Has anything I said rung true? Or do you still doubt me?" I grabbed his hands, happy to see that he didn't pull away from me.

"I did love Kanone," I said, trying still to reach him, "But that was a long time ago. He hurt me, betrayed me, and you came and saved me." I shook my head, trying to find the words to explain how I felt, "Ayumu, you gave me the chance to believe, to love again, and I would never throw that away, nor would I throw you away. Please," I begged, grasping his hands tighter, "Believe me, Ayumu. I would never hurt you intentionally." He looked up finally, tears in his eyes. "How do I know?" Ayumu asked, "How do I know that you won't leave me? Can you actually promise me that? Can you promise that you'll always be here? By my side?" He looked at me expectantly, hoping for an answer I could not honestly give. "Ayumu... what answer do you expect?" I asked, "Because if I say yes, then in a way, I'd be lying. But if I say no, you'll hate me. What do you want me to say?" "I want you to say that you'll try." Ayumu answered, letting go of my hands and grabbing my chin. "I love you, Eyes, but I don't want to be left alone again." I knew who he was referring to and hated myself for it. Kiyotaka... what had become of him? What had become of Ayumu's older brother...? "I won't leave you... not like he did." I answered, leaning in and kissing him quickly. He smiled as I got up, "I'll hold you to that, Eyes." "Does this mean you forgive me?" I smiled back, my silver hair falling into my face. "Hmmm... I guess, but..." he smirked at me, "You need to work on your speeches. Try rehearsing next time." I shook my head and started to walk away, "But if I did that, you'd never forgive me." "That's the point." he yelled after me.

I chuckled silently as I walked back over to the doctor, who had a patient smile on her face. "Are you ready to see him?" she asked me as she pushed the button for the elevator. I took a deep breath before answering her. "Yeah... I think so." She smiled at me again, just as the elevator doors opened to admit us. The elevator was empty except for a small child, who waved at us as we got on. She was holding a teddy bear with a bow tied around its neck. She looked at me, then asked, "Is your name Eyes?" I looked at her, startled, then answered, "Yes..." She smiled at me again, then said, "That man was calling for you. He said he needs you." "What man?" I asked, though I had a pretty good feeling who. "The golden-eyed man from America." she laughed, a cute little sound coming from her. I smiled at her, though the fact that Kanone had been awake for awhile made me a bit uneasy. I hadn't expected him to be ready for me... Guess it couldn't be helped.

We finally came to our floor and the little girl flew out of the elevator, laughing as she ran into the arms of a man standing nearby. "You bad girl, you." the man laughed, holding his daughter close, "Where did you run off to?" I looked at them with a sad smile on my face, envying the love shared between them, how innocent it was. I had never had a love like that... until I had met Ayumu, I had never known an innocent love such as the one shared between a parent and child. Maybe sometime before Kanone and I had become lovers, I had almost known that love, but... I stopped thinking about it as soon as the doctor leading me to Kanone stopped in front of a room. I looked at the sign, already knowing what it said, but reading it anyway. Kanone Hilbert Room 314. I turned to the doctor with an uneasy smile and said, "Thank you for your help. I think I'll be fine for now." She nodded and headed off in the other direction, waving at me as she went by.

As I walked through the door to Kanone's room, I could hear people whispering, saying, "Isn't that Eyes Rutherford? The pianist?" and then others scoffing, "Why would a famous pianist be in a little hospital like this?" I hurried through the door, not wanting to bring anymore attention to myself. I closed the door behind me slowly, not yet turning to see the wounded man lying in the bed, whose eyes were already upon me, devouring me alive. "Eyes. Of course, it would be you that came to see me." I turned to look at him, letting my eyes fall on the gun shot wound. The wound I had caused. "Kanone... would you believe me if I said I hadn't meant to shoot you?" I asked, though from the look in his eyes, he didn't believe a word of it, though, of course, neither did I. No matter what I said, I had tried to kill him and had almost succeeded. I stayed by the door, staring at Kanone, not really seeing him. "What's wrong, Eyes?" he asked, his golden eyes glinting, "Don't tell me you feel regret for what you've done? I didn't raise you to feel regret, don't forget that." I looked up at him, then away again, seeing that loving look in his eyes. "Don't you get it?" I asked, balling up my fists, "I tried to kill you. If I hadn't pulled up at the last minute, you'd be dead!"

Kanone just watched me, a small smile on his face. "But if you hadn't, then what would have happened?" he asked, his voice dangerously low. I looked up at him, confused, then stepped back upon seeing him standing up. "Kanone! You're not supposed to be-!" I started to say, but he was already upon me, pushing me into the door. "Kanone!" I whispered, "Get back in that bed, before you bleed yourself to death!" "What's wrong Eyes?" he asked, smirking, "Are you scared that I'll overcome you? Me? A wounded man?" He laughed, pressing into me harder. I started to push him away, but hesitated, not really sure if I would hurt him or not. He laughed again. "You're too innocent, Eyes. I tried to kill your Ayumu, and yet you're still showing me mercy. Though," his eyes glinted with rage, "Don't think that you and he are safe. After this little incident... well, let's just say I'm not ready to lay down and die, just yet. So," he smiled at me, coldly, "I'm not gonna give up on you, either. I love you Eyes, and I will not tolerate another man in your bed." With that, he pressed his mouth against mine, using my surprise to his advantage. He pulled back before I could push him away and licked his lips. "Still the same old Eyes." he shook his head, smirking, "Too innocent."

I pulled away from him and opened the door, running out before he could do anymore to me. "I'll see you tomorrow, Eyes." He called after me, innocently. I ignored him and ran onto the elevator, my breathing already coming out in short pants, although I hadn't' run very far. I could hear him laughing, drawing attention to himself and me. I closed my eyes and continued running, almost knocking over a nurse as she came off of the elevator. "Hey! Watch it!" she snarled at me, grabbing onto my shoulder as I barreled past her. "I'm sorry." I yelled over my shoulder, "Please excuse me." I could still hear Kanone yelling after me, his voice high as he screamed, "That's right, Eyes! Run! See how far you can get before I come and get you! Run, Eyes, because when I come after you, there will be no place that can hide you from me!"

The phantoms have come again this night

Through the window that was supposedly closed.

They are the victims of your past deeds,

Making you regret everything you've fought for.
