After the shower, I wrap myself into a towel feeling exhausted, and go to my closet to get a robe and night clothes, as I search I can't help but replay what happened in my head only an hour ago.
Feeling dazed I found my outfit and walk over to the bed setting my clothes down, as I drop my towel to the floor and go to pick up my clothes I'm tackled onto the bed with a pair of hands around my throat.
"W-What-Ah."
I try to talk but they squeeze harder, I try to look up and manage to look into his eyes.
(they're a similar green to Kadachi's)
My eyes widen remembering the name the guy said before he was killed.
"Se-to"
His eyes widen and I could see the darkness even deeper in his eyes.
(I need to get him off me, I can't breath!)
I hear him chuckle under his mask as I try to scratch, kick and do whatever to get him off of me.
"Sorry darling but, once I'm done with you and your out of my way I can finally achieve my goal."
He let's go of my throat and I cough profusely trying to catch my breath, he takes his mask off and walks over to the door locking it.
"Why are you doing this! This is your family how can you do this to your blood!?"
He instantly slapped me across the face and I fall off the bed onto the floor.
"What makes you think you have any right to question blood relationship when you were used by your own blood for horrible things, you should understand me not question me!"
(Is he crazy??)
"Just because that happened doesn't mean I should-"
Seto laughs historically.
"What? Get revenge? No that's not what this is about sweetheart, this is about claiming what is mine and in order to do that I have to do this."
(what is he about to do? I need to try to get away, the gun! The gun is under the bed!)
"W-wait we can talk about this Seto-"
I grab the towel and hold it up to me as I sit on the floor sliding my hand under the bed.
"No, it's already set in stone."
I feel the gun and just as he grabs my other wrist to pull me up I grab it and switch the safety off, just as I'm pushed onto the bed I swing the gun out in front of me and shoot
*pop*
Just as I land on the bed he throws himself on top of me looking extremely mad as blood dripped down his shoulder.
"You little cunt!"
He slaps me across the face then grabs a hold of my cheeks and forces my mouth open pouring a sour liquid into my mouth.
(I can't stop him! I'm...not strong enough....)
He let's go of me as I cough, I try to crawl away as he starts to undress.
"Dont worry, I'll make it quick and your death will be soon after."
I could feel my body go limp as I try to reach for the gun again, unable to move I cry out for help but he covers it with some cloth before I could.
"That drug will keep you paralyzed and soon go into a coma. It won't be enough to kill you but at least keep you sleeping for at most 2 weeks. But you'll be dead by morning."
(No, I don't want to die...-)
I feel a sharp pain as I go in and out of consciousness. The pain only happened if I fell back to sleep, finally after what felt like forever I'm tossed onto the floor with a bloody sheet thrown over me where I weakily open my eyes to see the sun starting to rise.
"I...have to...stay awake..."
I try to take steady breaths and be still as I hear the window from my bedroom open and then close.
(If I can wait for Kadachi to come home, he can find me in time...right?)
I wince in pain as I try to lift up my arm seeing their was blood on it.
"Blood? I'm...bleeding...but why? I can't remember."
(Kadachi, Kaito...Mom...I need to give Kadachi information...I can't forget...I need to tell him it was Seto, I can't let myself drift off to sleep.)
I reach for the wall next to me and with trembling hands I use my blood to write Seto's name on it.
"There...At least...you have your answer..."
I wince in pain and feel myself slipping away, I hear the doorknob wiggle but at this point I have no strength to even keep my eyes open and fall into a deep sleep. By the time the door gets kicked in the final thing I hear is Kadachi's voice yelling my name, it sounded as if it was getting farther and farther before finally...I couldn't hear it at all.
(Kadachi Pov 10 minutes earlier)
"Good, now that we've found the cure, no matter what they try to pull we can fix it, also find out about Inoki Shiho I had someone pass along that name to me a few months back."
Kota nods and just as we arrive to the kitchen area of the house we hear a loud scream towards the garden.
"He's dead!! Someone call the police!!"
Kota and I rush towards the garden area where we find a maid sobbing next to the wall the leads into an ally way.
As we approach her we see a middle-aged man shot dead executioner style.
"Kota go call police and-"
I look over to where Kota was standing, he was on the inner wall crouched next to it and picks up a shiny locket holding it up.
"Hey look what I found?"
My eyes widen as my heart stops realizing who's pendant it was.
"Kairi..."
I dart towards her room with Kota yelling and following after me.
"Kadachi wait!"
Once at her door I try to open the door but it was locked, I yell her name.
"Kairi! Answer me now! Kairi!"
Kota finally catches up with me out of breath.
"Sir it's early, maybe madam is still asleep?"
I give him a death glare.
"No! she would never lock this door, and no way would she have left that there!"
I point to the pendant he was holding and then kick in the door in one kick, as I run in looking around I spot a foot from the other side of the bed and rush over, as soon as I do I stop in shock and horror to see her lying there on her side naked under sheet covered in bruises, cuts and blood.
"Kota get the car now."
I speak calmly, but the rage inside me roars.
He runs out of the room as I scoop her cold and light body up in my arms covering her with the sheet.
(This is my fault...If only I was here for you...)
I feel tears trickle down my face, as if time has slowed I hold her in the back of the car as Kota drives us to the hospital, I watch as she takes small breaths, I take note at her tear-stained eyes, the small cuts made to keep her awake, her broken nails, the blood between her legs, and all of the bruises she has, I take mental note of it all.
(I'll remember everything so that, whoever did this to you will get it 100 times worse, so that you won't have to go through this alone. Because in the end...This is my fault.)
"Just please live."
I whisper in her ear as I hold her tightly.
We arrive at the hospital in a matter of 10 minutes but by then I was covered in her blood as they take her away to the back.
(A few hours later)
As if time has now stopped for me I sit next to the same doors she went in and wait in silence alongside Kota while stuck in my mind.
(I knew something would happen...Kota even warned me! Damn it! If she doesn't make it, I'll!-)
Just then the doors push open and out walks the Dr who took her in, I stand up and he walks up to us.
"Your wife suffered a lot of trauma sir, She had 10 lacerations 3 of which needed stitches but none will leave scars with the right treatment. She has a few broken ribs that should heal on their own with rest. And the final detail which I should prepare you for will be very hard to take in, you should have a seat you don't look so good yourself."
(He's right, I need to calm down...)
I take a few deep breaths.
"I'm ok continue."
He nods.
"She indeed was SA, we collected evidence and such but...also upon conducting our examination we found that your wife is a few weeks pregnant, the unfortunate news is that due to the SA it's very possible she will lose this baby, it's not definite but we need to let you know."
I lean my back up against the wall.
"So does this mean she's ok?"
The Dr nods.
"Yes, she will make a full recovery, but she will need a lot of rest and therapy when she's ready, she has a long road to recovery."
I smirk, it felt bittersweet.
"Can we see her?"
He nods once more before leading us to her room, Kota waits next to the door on the outside as I sit next to her bed holding her soft cold hand in mine.
We stay like this for awhile, I stare at her in silence holding her hand and thinking of all kinds of things. Until I hear Kota say something.
"Master Kadachi, Master Seto is here and wishes to speak to you."
I sigh and stand up, when I turn around I see Seto standing in the doorway looking a bit disheveled.
"I came the moment I heard what happened! How is she?"
As he takes a step closer to look at her I notice a deep scratch on the side of his neck that ran all the way to his chest, as he reaches to touch her hand with his I instinctively grab his wrist and shove him away from her.
"What the hell bro?!"
I see him wince in pain but he was careful to hide it.
"No man other then me will ever come close to her ever again."
I gave him a death glare and he sighs.
"Fine! Geez I was just trying to be nice but whatever."
He starts to walk away and I smirk, before he walks away I clear my voice.
"Seto! Did you spend a night with another one of your girlfriends last night? I'm asking because you're looking a bit unkempt today aye?"
I hear him chuckle.
"Nah man I stayed home and drank myself to sleep early last night, my girl and I got into a huge physical fight yesterday and I decided to drink my worries away ya know?"
(Hah, I'm being paranoid...)
I put my hand on my forehead and bring her hand to my lips as I hear Seto leaving.
(That must be it right? My own brother?)
