Mr. Fukuda’s eyes turned directly to Kota. His brown eyes suddenly turned to very dark eyes which stared at Kota sharply. He stood up and strolled to Kota. His eyes still didn’t let Kota go.
“I sacrifice this life just for her, and you destroy it,” Mr. Fukuda said bluntly but his voice was not in mad nor sorrow.
“I want that power again so that I could make Hikari love me,” Mr. Fukuda held the gun in his hand strongly.
“I guess there is no mean for me to live now,” Mr. Fukuda continued looking down to the red carpet.
Kota just waited for Mr. Fukuda words.
“You are the one who kill Hikaru!” Ryosuke suddenly shouted. He was mad, he wanted revenge but at the same time he felt guilty. Ryosuke held his both fist tightly looking to Mr. Fukuda with hatred. Ryosuke knew that Hikaru would not want this to happen. He knew Hikaru didn’t want him to revenge. Hikaru pure heart would always forgive others. He hated that but at the same time he gladded that Hikaru kindness affected him.
“I know,” Mr. Fukuda answered, turned his eyes to Ryosuke but the expression changed. It’s not abhor or hatred but sorrow. Mr. Fukuda lifted his hand and put the gun right at his head. He closed his eyes slowly.
“I’m sorry, Hikari,” Mr. Fukuda said in low voice but because of the silent of the hall, everyone could hear it.
“Stop!” Ryosuke shouted again, made Mr. Fukuda opened his eyes instantly. Everyone in the hall focused on Ryosuke.
Clear crystal tears flowed from Ryosuke’s eyes. He walked slowly towards Mr. Fukuda.
“You kill Hikaru…” Ryosuke kept looking at Mr. Fukuda with abhor.
“and Ryutaro,”
“even your own follower,”
“I…,” Ryosuke stopped, wiping his tears.
“really want to kill you,” Ryosuke continued his steps until he stood before Mr. Fukuda.
“but…” Ryosuke took the gun from Mr. Fukuda hand.
“Hikaru would not want that to happen,” Ryosuke smile forcedly. It was the first time for him to do that.
“I know,” Mr. Fukuda smirked.
“I had been born for evilness. I killed lots of people, too many bloods that I shed. She was the one who make me realize that I also deserve kindness. I also can be kind just like her. But when I confess my love, she rejected it. It’s not fair. This world is not fair.” Mr. Fukuda cupped his face.
“That’s why…” Mr. Fukuda looked up to Ryosuke. He quickly took back the gun from Ryosuke and started shooting aimlessly.
“Lie down,” Kota shouted however he himself didn’t do that. He was quickly running towards Mr. Fukuda. I have to stop him. Kota thought.
Mirai hid under a table after Kota asked them to lie down. She could see that Yuto brought Mayuko away. Mayuko must be in safe with Yuto. She thought. Suddenly, she felt someone patted her shoulder. Mirai quickly turned to her back.
“Shh..” Mrs. Fukuda, Mayuko mother was there, squatting under the table with Mirai.
“Take this,” Mrs. Fukuda gave Mirai a gun. Mirai was so shock.
“Protect yourself,” Mrs. Fukuda said strictly. Mirai didn’t have a moment to say a word when Mrs. Fukuda instantly got out from their hiding place.
Certain bullets hit Kota’s body but it didn’t bleed at all. It formed a hole and it healed instantly. Despite that Mr. Fukuda kept aiming to Kota to let out his anger. Kota didn’t move from his place. He knew this was the best way to make sure Mr. Fukuda didn’t hurt others.
“Argh!” Blood spurted out from Mr. Fukuda mouth. Mrs. Fukuda stepped back after Mr. Fukuda fell on his face.
“This is for my husband,” Mrs. Fukuda said in an avenge expression.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jarring sounds of explosions were heard. The hall was quaking badly. Some parts of the ceiling fell made the smokes of dust covering the sight.
“Hahaha!” Mr. Fukuda laughed annoyingly.
“We all will die together,” Mr. Fukuda said in satisfied before he gasped the last breath.
Mirai tried to get out of the table but she started to feel the pain in her feet. The ceiling hit the table and half of the table was on her now. She tried to pull her feet out but it was no use. She started to cry. It was hurt when she want to pulled out her feet. I don’t want to die here.
Suddenly, Ryosuke came and lifted aside the table.
“Are you okay?” Ryosuke asked Mirai. Mirai nodded her head.
“We have to get out from here,” Ryosuke said and started to lift Mirai in bridal style.
“Mama!” Mayuko shouted, crying when she saw Mrs. Fukuda was under a part of the collapsed ceiling. Her head was bleeding badly.
“Mama!” Mayuko shouted again approaching Mrs. Fukuda. Yuto felt Mrs. Fukuda pulse and looked to Mayuko with sorrow face.
“NO! Mama!” Mayuko cried badly in front of her mother body.
“Let’s get out from here, Mayu-chan,” Yuto held Mayuko shoulder, pulling her from her mother body.
“Let’s go!” Keito said to Kei, pulling the other hand.
“NO!” Kei pulled back his hand harshly.
“No without Takaki,” Kei said in sad, running towards Yuya’s body.
Arioka placed Yuya’s head on his lap. He smiled.
“At last we can be together forever,” Arioka said sofly.
“Takaki!” Kei approached Arioka and sat beside him.
“Get out Inoo,” Arioka said strictly.
“It’s an order,” Arioka said again when he saw Kei still didn’t move.
“Yuya would always want to see you live on yourself. No depending on him anymore. Now, it’s your chance to grant his wish, Inoo,” Arioka said kindly to Kei. Kei looked into Arioka teary eyes.
Keito sighed watching Kei still stubborn. He pulled Kei’s hand for the second time. This time, Kei didn’t pull back his hand but his eyes still trying to stay with Yuya.
“Chinen!” Yuto called when he saw Yuri was opening the emergency door.
“Where’s Yamada?” Yuri asked Yuto, stopped what he was doing.
“I don’t know but I’m sure he can take care of himself,” Yuto said and quickly piggy back Mayuko when he saw the stairs. He knew Mayuko didn’t have the mood to run away now.
After a few minutes they got out of the building, it collapsed.
“Is everyone here?” Ryosuke asked.
“Yabu-kun,” Mirai said when she noticed the absence of Kota.
“Hikaru,” Kota called Hikaru name. Hikaru didn’t answer. He also didn’t open his eyes but his chest still moving. Hikaru was still breathing.
“Hikaru, wait for me. This time, I’ll surely follow you,” Kota muttered softly into Hikaru’s ears. Hikaru smiled and slowly he stopped breathing.
Could it be that his words become reality? Mirai thought.
