Sakura Hill

There was blood... everywhere... and it wouldn't stop...
*closes eyes halfway and breathes short and rather shallowly, heading slowly tilting to the side*

*shakes head and trembles again, not doubting the blood was there*
There was blood Kenoo-san... i-it... was Sakurai's blood...
*tears up at the mere thought and covers mouth, seemingly about to throw up but just getting cold sweat*

Sakurai's blood...what do you mean Shizuka

*Kenoo looks around to make sure there was no blood around*

*tears roll over suddenly and drop to the ground into the snow, trembling and shutting eyes*
My sister's blood was splattered everywhere! Like she was murdered-!
*coughs up blood and gasps for air after, choking slightly*

*Kenoo grabs Shizuka gently to make sure she is fine*

Your sister s a good warrior she won't be killed so easily...why are you seeing this things

*head drops back and body collapses, speaking slowly and slurred, condition worsening*
I don't know Kenoo-san... but I don't like it...
*tears stop and calms down little by little, breathing in and out slowly, legs regaining their strength*

*Kenoo wipes the falling tears*

Believe in your sister...she is very strong...

*He runs onto the hill*
Shizuka. What's wrong?

*nods and blinks back more tears from the uprising thought again*
*looks over and up towards Daryan, wearing a white surgical face mask covering her mouth and nose, tears going over*
Daryan-san... Sakurai's blood...

She mistook the falling petals for Sakurai's blood... asked f she wanted me to move her to a better place but she said no

*Kenoo wiped the falling tears and continued to hold her*

*He steps closer, pulling Shizuka into an embrace*
Please...Calm down and try to explain it.

*walks around humming*

*gets flutter, becoming dazed and coughing a little painfully, wincing*
Sakurai's blood... was all over this area... on the snow... i-in the tree... over me... everywhere.
*tears up at the mere thought, stomach turning and gives a lethargic whine*

*turns head and looks at whats going on*
hmmm i wonder whats going on
*slowly walks up the hil*

*Kenoo stands and looks around trying to make sure somebody isn't messing with her head*

Daryan...we should take her to our room...she needs rest

*He shakes his head*
Please. Calm down, alright?
*He kneals to Shizuka's height*
It couldn't have been. Your sister is in perfect health. I don't know how to explain it, but that was not it.

*shrugs*
hm...this dont involve me..i should go
*turns around and walks back down the hill and leaves*

*brings hands up to face and restrains the tears that sting her eyes*
When the petal landed on my palm... I saw all the blood, then Kenoo did something... and it was gone.
*tears up and hands twitch, suddenly reaching out and hugging Daryan, dropping face into his shoulder*
Onee-sama's alright, right? It was just a lie, all of her spilled blood?

*He hugs Shizuka also*
Of course. She is fine.
*He pulls back, wiping away Shizuka's tears with a comforting smile*
Would you like me to take you to your dorm? It's getting pretty late.

*Kenoo opens his hand revealing the petal*

This landed n her palm...thats when it began..after i removed it...she stopped...maybe sakurai know's whats wrong...i'm gong to find her

*smiles softly through the surgical mask and coughs painfully once, nodding*
Right, onee-sama would be glad.
*looks over to Kenoo and bows head in gratification*
Thank you very much, Kenoo-san...

*He nods*
Very well, Kenoo.
*He stands up, extending his hand*
I'll escort you to your dorm then, Shizuka.

*takes Daryan's hand, her hand surprisingly very ice cold, coughing and covering mouth with free hand out of habit*
*looks towards Kenoo and smiles weakly, closing eyes and waving*
Goodbye, Kenoo-san.

*He walks away with Shizuka*
