==================================================================================
Chapter 26
"Let's get started then shall we?"
"Bring it."
Sae made the first move and went at Crow with full power. She swung but missed and Crow counter attacked but also missed. Then Crow tried to stab from above but Sae ran and struck below cutting his side.
"That's one for me!" Sae said.
Crow turned around and quickly swung at Sae's arm cutting it.
"And that's one for me." Crow said.
Sae tried stabbing at his legs but he was too fast and she ended up getting cut again. But Sae wasn't going to give easily and managed to cut Crows leg. Sae had to think of a new stradegy so she tried backing up a little. But Crow was right on her and wasn't holding back. Sae was able to block most of his attacks although there were some that hit. Sae managed to back away far enough where she was able to kick the blade out of Crow's hand.
"You're mine!"
"I don't think so."
Crow knocked the blade out of Sae's hand sending it flying to the side. Now it was just hand to hand combat. Sae had to remember everything she was taught at back at the academy. However she thought it wouldn't be useful since Crow looked like he knew everything in the book.
"Ready to give up yet?"
"Not even close."
Sae threw a bunch but missed and Crow nailed her right in the stomach. Sae didn't even have time to recover because Crow came at her with another punch right to face. Before Crow could pull back, Sae grabbed his arm and pulled him towards her. Then she returned a favor and punched Crow right in the face.
"Not bad." Crow said spitting out some blood.
"As so you." Sae said wiping blood off her face.
This time Crow attacked from below and tripped Sae over. He got on top of her and started to strangle her.
"Looks like I'm going to win."
Sae wasn't going to let Crow win. She reached into her skirt and pulled out a stun gun. She took it and stabbed Crow right in the side zapping him. Crow got off and rolled over.
"Now it's my turn."
Sae got on top of Crow and started to strangle him. It looked like Sae was going to win but then Crow pulled out another knife and stabbed Sae's leg. Sae got off him which gave him just enough time to crawl over and grab his knife. Crow turned around and was about to attack Sae but then he froze at the sight of Sae's blade right at his neck.
"You give up now?" Sae said.
"Nope."
Crow ducked and attacked Sae's legs again. He missed this time and Sae attacked his arms and managed to slash one of them. But then Crow came at her and instead of heading straight at her, he jumped high into the air. Sae didn't know where he went but she was on high alert.
"Haha catch me if you can."
"Be careful Sae! This is how he got my partents." Sayaka said.
Sae waited for Crow to attack but still couldn't see him. Then out of nowhere she felt something cut her leg. Sae swung where the attack came from but only hit air. Once again she was cut and this time on the back. This process kept repeating several times with her being slashed and still missing everytime she tried to attack. Sae was starting to get weak from all the blood she lost. She thought she wasn't going to last long.
"You're almost done." Crow said.
"Then once your done, I'll finish off what I left off with Sayaka."
This made Sae snap and a whole new feeling bursted inside her. Right when Crow was attacking, Sae used her arm and caught the blade. The knife was embedded deep in Sae's arm and there was no way Crow was going to take it out. Sae grabbed Crow and gave him a powerful punch to the face. Then she stepped on his chest and pressed hard until she heard the sound of his ribs breaking.
"I'm not letting you do touch Sayaka." Sae said in a dark tone.
Sae took her knife and cut his neck on one of the main arteries. He would bleed to death in a matter of seconds.
"Game over. I win."
Sae got off Crow and walked over to Sayaka. She untied her and as soon as she did, Sayaka hugged her.
"I can't believe it. You won!" Sayaka said.
"I can't either." Sae said.
"Does it hurt?"
"This?"
Sae held up her arm with the knife still in it.
"Actually it doesn't. But I bet it will in the morning. All well, nothing Rena can fix." Sae said.
"I'm glad you're alive. I can't believe you'd be willing to sacrifice yourself for me like that." Sayaka said.
"I would do anything for my partner."
"You really are the best partner ever."
While the two were laughing, they didn't even notice Crow slowly getting up with one hand covering his hand while the other was holding a knife. Sae didn't see him but Sayaka did. Right when Crow was about to stab Sae, Sayaka got in front of her.
"Sae look out!"
Crow attacked and stabbed Sayaka right in the chest. Sayaka collapsed and Sae sat there watching in horror.
"Sayaka! You bastard!"
Sae grabbed the gun her had thrown to the side and shot Crow seven times in the chest. Then she made sure he was dead by shooting him in the head.
"Sayaka!"
Sae rushed back over to Sayaka who was bleeding a lot.
"Hang in there Sayaka we'll get you help just stay with me." Sae said with tears running down her eyes.
"Sae.... I'm sorry..." Sayaka weakly said.
"Shut up stupid! Don't talk. Just stay with me. Someone help!"
"Sae.. I.. I love you."
Tears were coming out in buckets now.
"I love you too Sayaka. I always have."
"Really? That's great."
Sayaka fell passed out and Sae couldn't feel a pulse.
"SAYAKA!!!"
All in one big rush, Sae's body felt weak. All the energy and strength she had before left and now her body turned into a noodle. Sae slowly started to fade into unconsciousness. Right before she passed out, she couldn't help but feel something being torn out of her heart. That thing was Sayaka because she was gone now and was never coming back.
"Sayaka...."
When Sae woke up, she found herself in a hospital bed. A nurse was replacing her IV bag when she saw Sae wake up. She rushed out and soon after everyone from the office came in.
"Sae!" the all said.
"What happened?" Sae said.
"We had to rush you to the emergnecy room to get surgery. You had major blood loss and needed a blood transfusion desperately." Rena said.
"I see. What happened to Crow?"
"We had his body removed and sent to a crematorium. He won't be coming back any time soon." Takamina said.
"That's good to here. So what happend to Sayaka?"
Everyone was silent for a moment. They all had dark looks on their faces. Tears started to run down Sae's face as images from earlier started flashing through her mind. She remembered Sayaka protecting her and getting stabbed. She remembered watching Sayaka get stabbed in the chest and not finding a pulse. It was clear to Sae that Sayaka was no longer with her. But then Yukirin walked over to a curtain next to Sae's bed.
"Why don't you ask her yourself."
Yukirin opened the curtain and there was Sayaka sleeping.
"Sayaka!"
Sayaka opened her eyes and saw Sae.
"Oh hey Sae."
"Sayaka..."
Sae wanted to get up and hug her but her injuries prevented her from doing so.
"What happend. I thought you were dead!" Sae said.
"I did too. Turns our Crow didn't hit anything vital. Although he was inches away from hitting my heart. Any closer and I would've been dead for sure." Sayaka said.
"I'm so happy."
"So that now that you two are alive. You recover soon and come back to the office." Miichan said.
"We'll be waiting for you." Jurina said.
"We still have a lot of work to do." Yuko and Haruna said.
"And when you two get back we'll have a huge party!" Acchan said.
"That sounds great you guys."
"Good then we'll be leaving now." Mariko said.
Everyone left the room leaving Sae and Sayaka alone.
"Hey Sae.." Sayaka said.
"Yeah?" Sae said.
"Did you really mean it when you said you loved me?"
At first Sae didn't even remember herself saying that. But then it all came back to her and Sae started blush.
"Well yeah I did. But I thought you weren't serious." Sae said.
"Uh Sae I thought I was going to die. I was dead serious." Sayaka said.
"Was that supposed to be a joke?"
"No."
"Ok just checking."
"So what's your answer? Do you seriously love me?"
Sae paused for a moment and thought about it. Then she smiled and reached out to grab Sayaka's hand.
"Yes Sayaka I do love you."
"Good then I officially declare ourselfs lovers."
"That's wonderful."
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
"Yuko!"
"It's about time you guys finally came out. Everyone was waiting for you. See?"
Yuko opened up the blinds and saw everyone's face pressed up against the glass. Yuko gave them a heart symbol and they all started cheering outside.
"Man you guys are really something." Sayaka said.
"So when are you guys having the wedding. Oh are you going to have kids?" Yuko said.
"Wedding? Kids? Not let get too far now Yuko. Sae and I just got into this relationship so don't ruin it for us."
"But I really want kids! Nyanyan and I both want them but neither one of us wants to be the one to have the baby."
"Well for now we're not going to worry about it. But mabe later in the future."
"Ehh?"
Sae stared at Sayaka who was madly blushing.
"Oh Sayaka you animal!"
"I think it would be cute having a little me or Sayaka running around." Sae said.
"See even Sae agrees. You gotta have kids now!"
"Well..."
As Sae watched Sayaka acting like a school girl, Sae couldn't help but laugh inside. Her partner was alive and now they are lovers. This was the start of a new chapter in her life and who knows, maybe something new will come out of it.
