✒️Until We Meet Again ❤️

Read slowly for the better experience T^T

I've come across an important realization... 

The answer to the question I've been dying to know for so long...

Before I knew it... it's too late.

A trail of tears slide down my cheeks. I start sobbing uncontrollably. I can't take it. I can't take any of this. Somebody please tell me I'm just having a nightmare.

"Don't die, you idiot. You can't leave me yet. I pulled down your mask, see? Say that you're proud of me" I sob so hard.

"You're cruel. How could you have done that?" I look at Boomer after hearing his broken voice.

"Are you... even human?" He says. His bangs covering his eyes. Even so, the tears wouldn't stop streaming down his face.

"Boom, listen, it was all too fast-"

"CUT IT OUT YOU MURDERER!" The younger ruff shouts at his own brother. "I can't believe you... you're a complete monster!"

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to" Brick bites his bottom lips and looks down at the ground, unable to say anything.

As much as I want to stop the chaos, I can't. My body's too numb to do anything. Right now, there's nothing I could do but sob.

This is the first time I ever cried for a guy...

And he's none other than my counterpart himself.

I took his hands and cried harder, but in silence.

"I HATE YOU! YOU'RE HIDEOUS! DISGUSTING!"

Oh god...

"I didn't mean for this to happen either, brother. I'm ashamed"

"Brother, huh? I'm no brother of a shitty crap like you. Don't ever call me brother again!"

Boomer totally lost it. His mental breakdown is taking over.

I glance up to see Brick's scarlet eyes are filled with tears as well. He regrets it after all.

"You think I'm not sad? For fuck's sake, Boomer, I am! You think you're the only one infected? My heart's damaged too"

"I... I love him" Brick wipes away his tears and keeps talking. "I didn't know he would come in between us and sacrificed for Buttercup like that"

Yeah... he died because of me. He saved me from death and I haven't got the chance to thank him. It's all over now.

.....Or is it?

As I keep holding Butch's hand and rubbing it, I've noticed that he still has pulse.

My eyes widen. My heart jumps quickly. "Guys..." I turn my head to their direction. They weren't listening, though. Boomer was ranting nonstop.

"Guys! Boomer!" I raise my voice and finally get their attention.

"What?" Brick glares at me with his cold expression. I guess he's still not over hating me.

"He has pulse"

As expected, their sadden expression are replaced with shock within less than a second.

I shove myself aside for them to examine whether what I said was true or not.

"You're right... I can feel his pulse!"

"Which means..."

All three of us stare at each other for a brief moment.

"We can still rescue him!"

I sure hope we can. We must do anything we can to do that. But it seems like I'm excluded, after all.

Boomer lifts his brother's body off the ground, with some struggles. But even so, he refuses to let Brick help.

The blonde starts walking to where I assume- their hideout to get Butch recovered.

I feel a presence beside me. It's the leader of the ruff himself.

"Meet me at Annie's tomorrow 9 o'clock sharp. I need to talk to you about something. Don't be late"  Upon saying that, the redhead walks pass me following Boomer.

Is he planning to kill me there or what? Better not let my guard down tomorrow.

I set off flying up to the night sky and land in front of my apartment. I detransform and go inside.

"Hm? Kaoru you're back! How was the trip with your friends honey?" My mom greets.

Heh, my prediction was right. They really did thought I went with my friends.

"It was okay, mom" I give her my usual grin. The truth better remains untold.

"That's good to hear. Your dad and brothers are asleep already" she giggles. "Where's your suitcase?"

"Oh. Err... I think I forgot it at Miyako's! Haha I better go get them tomorrow. Good night mom!" I rush to my room quick before she asks anything further.

"Sleep well, hun!" I hear her call.

"I wish I could, mom" I mutter quietly and close the door.

I knew for sure I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Not after all the incidents that had happened.

I took a shower and head to bed. I feel something in my pocket. I pull it out and stare at my bloodstained kunai.

"Sensei gave this to me..." I immediately recall. And this is his blood on it.

"You better wash that"

"No, I like it better this way. With your blood stains on it. It proves that you've lost to me"

It sure brings back memories. I clutch the kunai close to my chest and cry again. I can't help it. Whenever I think about him, my heart washed over by pain and the tears comes out on its own.

Even if you're saved, it's not like we can go back to how we were. I'm not even sure if we'd ever meet again.

The rhombus shape perfectly carved on the kunai is also another clue which tells me his identity. His signature representative symbol. How could I've been so dumb!?

Also, there's something else I should be worrying about.

High school is starting in a week.
