Recap

"Why do you love me?"

His eyes widened a little before he chuckled.

"Saya-"Haji was interrupted as the phone rang.

She answered it. "Hello?"

"Aunt Saya…its Safaia…Kai," she paused, "…he has had a heart attack."

The phone slipped from Saya's hand.

Recap over

In Okinawa

"Aunt Saya! Over here!"

Saya looked down the hall and saw her family. She rushed to them without hesitation.

"Is Kai ok?"

"We don't know…they haven't told us anything…" D-chan said with a crack in her voice.

"It is going to be fine…I'm sure he'll pull through," The oldest queen smiled.

Haji stared at the door to Kai's room.

…

Solomon dialed a number on his cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Matt, tell Robin that I won't be at work for a while…" The blonde spoke quickly.

"Wait, why?"

"Personal reasons," he hung up the phone and left for Okinawa.

…

Saya paced in the waiting room. "What aren't they telling us if he's ok? Does that mean he's not…?"

"Saya…calm down…He's fine," Haji said.

They'd been waiting in the hospital for almost thirty-six hours. Saya hadn't slept the whole time.

"Saya, please, rest for a while," her chevalier held out his hand for her to take.

She exhaled and slowly reached for his hand. He pulled her down on the small couch.

In the distance they heard D-chan speaking: "Really? So he's ok? We can go see him now?"

"Yes, he's going to be, he'll need to stay in the hospital for a few more days though," the doctor spoke.

"Oh thank God."

The twins rushed into their father's room. Saya and Haji rose and followed the girls.

"Hey dad, how are you feeling?" S-chan smiled.

He blinked as he sat up. "A little dizzy…"

Saya hugged her brother tightly when she saw him.

"Saya, you're here...?" Kai asked though it was more of a statement.

"I got here when I heard you were here. Haji came too."

"Thanks for coming," Kai half smiled. (This is sorta a cheesy moment…sorry)

"Do you want us to get anything from home, dad?" S-chan asked.

"Yeah…some clothes…"

"Ok…"

"Uh I'll get it, you two stay here with Kai," Saya offered.

"Sure, ok."

The chevalier and his queen left for the pub.

…

When they arrived, they saw a sign on the door that read: Omoro is closed for family matters.

She unlocked the door and went to Kai's room. She opened his chores and grabbed a few clothes. She opened his sock drawer, though she saw nothing but a dried rose with a hair ribbon tied to the stem. She picked it up and it nearly fell apart. She fought the tears coming to her eyes.

"Saya, did you find everything?"

She looked at him and forced a smile. "Yeah…"

He came over and took the bag from her hands as she gathered a few more things. He was about to close the sock drawer as he saw the rose. He glanced towards Saya, and then closed the drawer.

She had remembered Kai telling her about the rose though she hadn't seen it till now.

"When did you leave that rose?"

He turned to her. "While you slept."

She embraced him. "Thank-"they heard a noise…like glass shattering.

She released him. "Stay here," he said as he left.

She didn't hear anything for a while but then he came back in.

"What was that-"he kissed her.

She shoved him away. "What are you doing?"

"Don't you want me?" He was confused. "You love me."

She narrowed her eyes. "Haji, what is wrong with you?"

"Do you want Solomon?"

"What?"

She saw Haji but then it was Solomon.

"Solomon?"

"Do you love me?"

"What?"

"You wanted me when I was Haji that night…you lied to me. You told me Haji wouldn't come between us. You were so sad even after I sent you to that therapist…I couldn't help but wonder if it was the thought of Haji that was doing it. I pretended to be him and when you saw him…me…you gave him a look I've never seen before. You showed him affection that you never showed me…and I was your husband. But then…then I tried to make you hate him…I was the Haji you made love to," he was talking to her but it was almost as if he was just thinking aloud.

Her eyes widened. "…What?" She was so confused. She didn't know what to think. "I-"

"Saya…If you love Haji…Then I'll be him…I just want to be with you."

"Solomon…"

"Saya…" Haji stood limply at the door while his arm was gushing out blood.

"Haji!" She ran to him and helped him balance.

She led him to the other room. Solomon followed.

"Saya…You must realize that there can't be two of us…one must go."

Haji tensed and glared at the blond. He began to pull away from Saya. "Haji-"

"I'm fine," he spoke sternly as his wounds healed.

Haji pulled out a dagger as Solomon's arm transformed into a blade.

Solomon started to run at him. Haji threw his dagger at the blonde, dodging Solomon's attack. The dagger hit Solomon's chest straight on. The blonde swung his arm around, cutting the thin skin of Haji's leg. Shattered glass crunched under the chevalier's feet. Solomon grabbed him and threw him against the wall.

"Haji!" she cried.

She ran over to her chevalier's side.

"No! Stay Back!" Solomon knocked her hard into the ground and glass. Her hands and arms bled as they were cut. The blond turned around and saw what he'd done.

"Oh forgive me." He touched her bloody arms trying to help her up.

Suddenly, his eyes widened slightly as Haji ran a large piece of glass through his abdomen. Saya cringed as she heard the ripping of the flesh. Solomon touched his wound and looked down. He slowly pulled out the glass. The blood spread and stained his perfectly white suit. Red liquid ran down from his mouth.

After a moment, he placed his hands over his wound once more as it began to heal. For a little while, they all sat there. The blonde gasped silently as he heard something the others didn't…a cracking noise. He felt a certain sting in his abdomen. What was he doing? He knew…it seemed logical…fight for love…right? But…he'd upset his love...he had to leave before they saw him dead. Solomon stood and walked towards the door.

He looked back at Saya and smiled. "I love you, Saya."

He walked out the door as…

…as his hand crystallized…

…He knew…

Everything becomes clear in the face of death.

Fin!

If you're confused, please tell me and I'll try to explain it. I know it might seem a tad rushed but really it isn't. I mean it had to stop somewhere and I know that the story was getting a bit tedious. I hoped you like this story!
