The siren of the ambulance roared loudly as the special force hurry themselves to the

hospital.

"We've got a bleeder! Damn it! Get out of the way!". The driver shouted as he accelerated his

speed, trying to break through the traffic.

Souichirou was looking at his comrade's beaten body and put on a worry face.

Souichirou and Riko were at the back of the ambulance, accompanying kurosaki who's now

lying at the bed.

Riko held his boyfriend's hand for comfort. She knew that he treat Kurosaki just like his own

brother that's why he felt responsible for what happened to him.

 

---

"I'm sorry... His body is badly hurt. I don't think….his heart could make it.

There's nothing we can do unless somebody is willing to donate…". The doctor said with a sad

look.

 

"what ? You're the doctor. To hell with it, You have to do everything you can!". Souichirou

snapped as he punched the wall, making his knuckle bled.

 

 

There has to be a way..

 

 

 

a way to save him...

 

 

 

There's only one way to do this

 

 

 

and that is…

 

 

 

to give up his own life.

---

 

"Perhaps.. I could save his life.". he added.

 

"Souichirou….please.. don't leave me". Riko burst into tears, kneeling on the floor.

Seeing her, he bent down and hugged her for comfort.

 

"I know that you'll understand me someday. Sorry". His voice is trembling yet he was prepared for this.

 

"Very well. Let's us first test the compatibility of your heart to the patient's". the doctor  

signaled Souichirou to follow him.

 

"I know that I've not been a good boyfriend to you but always remember this.

 

I love you, Riko.. always will and always have ". He kissed his girlfriend goodbye.

 

---

 

The test was successful; he was transferred in a hospital room and was waiting for the time of

operation.

"Teru, I'm dying…. I know that you'll going to be lonely, that's why I sent someone to watch

over you. You may not see him for now but when the right time comes, you'll know his true

identity." He said as he hugged his little sister with his whole might.

 

"Oni-chan, please don't… go…. ! I promise I'll... be good…. I'll… I'll do… anything …just don't

go.. .! Brother! I don't need anyone but you!...please". The 19 year - old Teru was hugging her

brother with full of tears flowing in her cheeks.

 

It was difficult for her to hold down her feelings.

She can't breath. It hurt a lot especially when she used to having someone greeting her at

home, saying ..."Teru, welcome home".

 

Although, he hid the real reason why he'll be gone forever, he knew that Kurosaki will protect

teru with his life.

 

" I love you, teru. You'll always be my sister". He whispered to her.

 

Right now, Nothing nor no one can calm her down except her brother's love.

 

"Here, got something for you". He said as he motion her to turn around.

---

Teru can see a silver shiny necklace hanging into her neck.

 

"hm? A daisy?". She wondered as she took the pendant for a closer look.

 

He nodded with a smile.

 

"Arigato,onichan. I love you…."

 

'everything i did is for you... in order to protect you,Teru'

 

This is the last memory of her brother that always remains with her…

 

until now....
