EXTRA: Darkness Falls - Kaede

Her body slowly getting colder in my arms as I desperately try and keep the blood from spewing out of the wound. I don't care about her blood staining these clothes, they were for Yui after all, and right now I need to keep her alive until help arrives. The blood was not stopping at all, no matter how much I tried, it kept on going and going, like a fountain of blood.

Suddenly I felt as if her body started loosening up, bringing down more weight as I try to hold her up as her body gradually became limp. Her eyes struggling to stay open as I can see the light in her eyes fading away, as if her soul was leaving her body.

Kaede: "Yui? Yui!!!"

I felt her body completely give up as the last bit of strength she had was gone, her eyes still gently open as there was no longer any life inside them. My tears start flowing uncontrollably as my eyes started to grow cloudy, my mouth not knowing what to do as it trembles in place, tears flowing down my cheeks onto Yui's pale face. The weight of her lifeless was too much for me to handle as with the last strength I had, I lifted Yui up in a seated position into my arms. My cries now muffled in her chest, I couldn't hear anything, not even my own screams, like nothing around me existed except for Yui's cold, lifeless body.

Time felt as if it had slowed down, feeling her body grow colder and colder as the cool breeze shot through the doorway blowing straight onto us, breaking my focus for just a second as I looked around. My legs and feet in a large puddle of blood as I look over towards the man beside us. His body still had not moved during all of this, did Yui do that to him? A blade was stuck into his chest as his right eye looked completely mortified, the sight of it almost bringing me to vomit as my eyes look once more to the knife.

I gently lay Yui down as I check on the man, scuttling my way on my knees as I move through all the blood before reaching his body. My tears stopped for just a moment as a fire lit up inside me, as I realized who this man was. He confessed to me in the middle of last year, before I had started dating Yui. Of course I turned him down, but we were still good friends at the time, but after Yui came into my life, he started hanging out with me less and less. All that however is gone. That friend of mine is not there anymore as all I can see is the man that killed my Yui, my mind now clouded in hatred as my hand moves to the knife on its own.

?: "Guh-"

Grabbing the knife I heard a grunt from him, startling me as I quickly pulled out the knife from his chest, not caring how much damage I would cause to him. How could he still be alive? The blood coming from his chest started spewing out in waves as I opened up the wound when I took it out, his hand now trying to stop the bleeding... I wont let him, I didn't call the ambulance for you!

?: "K-Kaede?"

With the knife in both my hands, sitting up on top of his body, I slam it down into him, opening up another wound in his chest before taking it out just as fast. My mind was blank as my hands moved on their own, stabbing him repeatedly, opening up more holes than I could keep track of, the blood splattering the walls inside and onto my face. I didn't give a shit anymore, I wanted him dead.

I couldn't tell how long I had been in that state, his body went still long before I had finally stopped my relentless assault on his corpse, resting my head on the hilt of the knife as I leave it stuck inside him. My tears now returning back as they glide along, down my cheeks before sliding down the blade.

Kaede: "I did it Yui..."

Looking over towards her, I slowly get up from the mans corpse, the blade still in my hand as I wrap my arms around her sides, laying on top of her, resting my head on her chest as my tears begin to flow once more, muffling my screams against her blood stained chest.

Yui was everything to me. In school, I tended to the flowers at the school garden, I was all alone until Yui approached me. She has been watching me tend to the school garden, in the same way as I would watch her run. I was always mesmerized watching her, she looked so cool and majestic as she ran, like a cheetah in the wild. We both laughed together as we found out we were both 'stalking' each other, I was quite embarrassed when I got caught, but after hearing that she was also watching me made my eyes lit up. We started walking home together ever since then, I couldn't imagine the thought that we would start dating. That is until she confessed to me later that year nearing the end of school, wanting to see me more after the school year ended. I didn't know it at the time but it was then that I realized I had been feeling the same way. I wanted to be with Yui, more than just friend, but as something more.

The sound of sirens coming from the distanced, broke me out from reminiscing on those fond memories with Yui, but it was too late. She's dead...

I found myself holding the knife towards my abdomen subconsciously, the same place where I was holding onto Yui hand, trying to stop her from bleeding out. Suddenly my hand moved on its own, sliding the knife into my belly, the pain was delayed as my mind was blank. I wanted to feel the pain that Yui has suffered, as I twist the knife inside me, the pain now rushing into me all at once as I clench onto Yui's clothes with all my strength, trying to dig the knife deeper. The sirens getting louder as time passes, as my mind now fills with anxiety, I don't want to live on without you Yui, not even my parents could understand me, you were the only one!

Feeling as if I'm running out of time as the ambulance approaches, I sink the knife deeper with all my force, breaking my mentality as I try my hardest to beat the ambulance. Racing against time, I try twisting the knife deeper making the hole in my belly as big as I could. The pain was excruciating, but I pushed onward, my blood adding onto the already existing puddle on the ground. I'm sorry, Yui's parents, you were like my second family. I can't imagine what it will be like for you guys having lost a daughter like Yui.

I can feel the pain gradually subsiding along with my vision, when suddenly I could see the ambulance arriving on the side of the road. My vision so blurry that I could only make out the flashing red and white lights, before finally going dark...

Did I do it? Did I make it in time? Those thoughts ran through my head. If the doctors somehow managed to save me, I wouldn't know what to do. I don't want to live in this world anymore, not without Yui, I would kill myself again if that would be the case.

As I thought those things, the feeling in my body had all but left my body, even my hearing was gone, I couldn't make out anything that was happening around me as I felt as if I was floating around in this endless void. "Where are you?" I thought to myself as I continued to travel through what seemed to be an endless void.
