Hello, Zane and Kai lovers! This is the saddest story I will ever do- almost. This is part of the Fallen Angels branch. When I say sad, I mean you Zane and Kai lovers are going to cry! Warning, CHARACTERDEATHS INVOLVED!Read while listening to Bring Me To Life, Mad World, or another sad song, like 6 Feet From The Edge.

Zane's POV

It was smoldering. As the ninja of ice, I hadn't stood a chance against the element in here. But, what chance would I have to convince myself to save myself, and let this happen?

The building was burning down around us. "IS ANYONE ELSE IN HERE?!" I suddenly yell. We were missing one child. One child could be crushed, burned, or even could break his or her neck. It was sweltering in here! This place was out of hand for me, my palms were slick with sweat. The shadows danced across the area. Crackling was emitted from left and right. My mind blurred all too quickly.

"zane..." a voice suddenly whispered close to me. With a jolt, everything returns to where it belongs. That was a yell, not a whisper, to warn me. That was meant to save my life. I was too late to realize it was. Kai repeats "ZANE, GET OUT OF HERE!" I look up, much too late. A large support beam came down, and I jumped out of the way. A crushing pain enters my left leg, and fire begins to burn the walls close by.

Kai's POV

His legs...! I choke as I realize the support beam had crushed one of them, and he was pinned down. "Zane, hold on!" I yowl at him, dodging and diving out of the way of fire. How ironic. My element is fire, and this might be how I perish... What a way to go down in flames. Zane's eyes widen, repeatedly crying out "Kai, no! No! Don't come for me! Don't! No!" He was trying to keep me safe. He's not dying like that, alone, afraid, and in pain. At least if I get him out, he might not go down on his own.

"WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME?! RUN AWAY!" Zane finally screams, tears about to flow. I stop when I reach him. The fire was draining his elemental powers. Maybe, maybe I was stronger than usual! In horror, I watch the support beam catch fire. I throw the support beam off Zane, barely keeping him from catching fire. The ceiling starts to cave around us.

No POV

Zane and Kai wrap their arms around each other, on their knees, terrified. The fire had them surrounded, and the impact of the roof would crush them anyways. Zane whispered "Y-you should have left me." Kai counters "And let you die alone? I'd hate myself." "... At least we'll die together." Sudden pain rushed from their heads, and crushed their bodies. The blackness consumes them instantly.

For the first time, I have truly killed him. I killed Zane. But, in ways, they'll live on... Find out how in the next chapter!
