i turn to you
THIRTEEN
(Suboshi)
"Tomo, Tomo, wake up! WAKEUP!" I am panting, shifting him on his back. Blood seeps from his nose and mouth. "Don't die, please don't die!" I start panicking by now. No, no not again. Not another of my friends.
[Suboshi, it's me. Sorry I didn't call you before. What's happening? I felt strong chi.] Nakago laughs, something about traitors. I hate him. I hate him so much!
My eyes blur with tears. He's dead. Tomo is dead. The memory of the time we spent floods in. You are my best friend. Don't leave me.
Please don't die.
It's not fair. We promised to stay together.
(Soi)
Nakago teleports off. I race to the pair on the floor, past the Suzaku. How badly is Tomo hurt? Dammit. Suboshi's tears confirm my fears. I shake his lifeless body, asking him to wake up.
"We gotta get him to Mitsukake no da." It's too late he isn't even here. Then Tamahome's voice goes,'I'll fetch Amiboshi. He's nearest! I can run fast.'
Please don't die now. I haven't spoken enough to you yet. I start channeling chi into him.
(Tomo)
I'm in total darkness. Then I see a light before me. As I walk there slowly I am hurt that Nakago would hurt me. Would blast me so violently like that.
"Chuin!" They look familiar. Mara, Lee. They hug and kiss me. But as they lead me home, some voices call my name, faintly.
"Go now. It's not time yet." Mara pushes me back.
"But,"
"Go. We'll see you again." I hug my friend hard and start to cry. Then I turn and walk back where I came. Thank you. I'll be fine now.
