I was in the basement lying in my own pool of blood from the previous torment of Kirori. I wanted to end him for not only hurting me but for hurting my lover as well. As I layed there, I tried to break myself from the chains around my neck, ankles and wrists, but it was no use. The chains had spikes in the that pierced though my skin and with every moment blood would come out cause me to groan from pain.
     I sat up slowly from all the pain in my back and legs from fighting to protect myself. Once I sat up my head felt heavy and it was spinning, so I lowered my head a little. I stayed like that for about 10 mins until I heard yelling and glass breaking from the floor above me. Then realized that it was Jade.

"You asshole?! Do you have some type of mental illness?! Why did you hurt Risuki, huh? Not to mention behind my back?! You son of a bitch?! Take the bloody ring and never speak to me  again?!"

   I could hear Kirori trying to reason with her but she wasn't buying it. I smirked at the fact that he was trying to blame Riki for it all. It was obvious that he was trying to play her. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming towards the door. When I tried to cry for help, I couldn't cause after all the screaming and yelling from so many beatings that I could talk anymore.
      Suddenly the door flew open and the person that I was willing to see, the girl that I've been missing, was my one and only Risuki. She came in and stood there as she covered her mouth and tears streamed from her face. She ran over to me as I suddenly lost consciousness.

"Brother.....Brother wake up!"

    I opened my eyes and saw my sister standing before me.

"Am I dead?"
"No silly, I'm here to wake you up...You stopped breathing way before you time."
"What do you mean before my time? You mean I died before my time and your here to bring me to life?"
"Basically... So WAKE UP?!?!"

   I opened my eyes to find myself in the hospital with my parents sleeping on the couch and Risuki sitting next to my bed, holding my hand with her head down sobbing. I looked at the time and it was 3:30 am. She's been crying this entire time?! I tried to lifted my hand but it wouldn't budge for a few seconds.
      I squeezed her hand and she lifted her head with tears and sweat rolling down her face. A few locks of hair stuck to her face.

"Isuki?!"
"Hey!"- I said in a rusty voice
"How are you feeling?"
"My whole body is killing me but I'm fine."

   She stood up and wiped her tears away with the back of her sleeve from my sweater. She ran her hands through my hair as I closed my eyes and kissed me on the forehead.

"It's 3:30 in the morning. What are you doing up?"
"I couldn't sleep seeing you in the condition your in. If something happened and I was a sleep....I-"
"Nothing will happen i just passed out that's all."
"From so much blood loss...Babe, you were sitting in your own pool of blood. Bleeding from both neck, wrists and ankles!"
"I know..Now enough talking about that, tell me, what have you been up to?"
"Well I have a good career in art."
"What about music?"
"Well, I didnt want to do that without you cause, it to, was your dream."

    I lifted my hand, still holding hers and kissed the back of her hand.

"You know that you didnt have to do that, right?"
"But I wanted to"
"Its getting late...you need your rest."
"No, I'm fine.."
"You look like you haven't slept for days!"
"Its nothing!"
"You have dark circles around your  eyes and I know it's not black eye shadow.."
"Fine!"

   She kissed me on the cheek before she let go of my hand and grabbed her purse and jacket.

"Wait, your not sleeping here?"
"I cant, I'm not a family member."
"But your my girlfriend! That's a good excuse to sleep here besides it's late and there alot of terrible guys around at this time still, so stay. Sleep here with me...I...I'm still freaked out that I want you near me at all times, so please dont go and stay here..!"

    She stared at me in shock as she put her jacket and purse back down and walked over to me as I moved over. She sat on the bed and layed her head on the pillow that I was using.
    Throughout the time I was in the hospital, she never left my side. I had to learn how to walk once again cause of those chains and regain my  strength. Even though I complained of pain and was so weak, she was still there for me and I loved her so much for that.
