The Crow: Owarimasu
Chapter 4





The rhythmic chirping of robins, soothed the sun’s smooth shine through the trees in the park. The cool breeze created a blissful environment for two lovers to spend time with one another. Haruko walked through the park, with Emi riding on his back. The day couldn’t get any better for Emi and Haruko. Haruko was alive and well, breathing the sweet oxygen, coming from the lush plant life around them.
“I love you,” Emi whispered, tightening her grip around his neck.
“I love you too,” Haruko said. He looked back, staring into her hazel eyes, and she kissed him on the cheek.
“Promise me, you will never go away,” She said, softly.

“Promise me, you will never go away.”

“Promise me, you will never go away.”



That sentence played back in Haruko’s head, as he sat on the roof above Kimmie’s room in the hospital. He held his knees to his chest, and rocked back and forth, thinking about what his life could’ve been. He couldn’t stand to sit in Kimmie’s room; the site of her in a hospital bed was enough to enrage him even more. The crow stayed posted on the windowsill, being Haruko’s eyes as, the day became night.

Visiting hours were almost over, just as the door creaked open, and some soft footsteps could be heard.
“Haruko, he has arrived,” the crow said. Haruko opened his eyes to see a man entering Kimmie’s room, and the nurse walking away. He swiftly got up, and quietly swung into the window, not making a sound. He saw the man grab her IV, and he was about to eject a needle into it, just as the crow cawed, and flew off. Aki put the needle down, and looked up to see a dark figure standing by the window.
“Who’s there?” Aki asked.
“You, were my best friend,” Haruko said. The familiarity of his voice, startled Aki, and he moved away from the bed.
“I don’t have any friends,” Aki replied.
“I know; you had one. I thought when the world turns its back on you; your friend will step in. I see I was wrong Aki, I guess that makes you the world,” Haruko said, calmly.
“You can’t be here, you’re dead, Haruko. So, how could you be standing there, facing me,” Aki said, beginning to freak out.
“I call it karma; now get away from my sisters bed, and let’s settle this,” Haruko said.
“There is nothing to settle, I am going to kill this bitch, and forgot I ever saw your spirit,” Aki said, grabbing the needle again.
“Who said I was a spirit?” Haruko said. He launched at Aki, and grabbed him, and then he threw him out of the window. Aki caught onto the windowsill, and climbed to the roof. Haruko followed, finding Aki holding some nun chucks.
“I was always the better fighter, Aki,” Haruko said.
“But you could never defeat me, when I had a weapon,” Aki said, still not believing that he was about to fight a dead man.
“Time to die,” Haruko said.
“You aren’t Haruko, he would never wear make up,” Aki said. Twirling the chucks around, getting into a fighting stance. Haruko said nothing, and walked over to Aki, getting into a fighting stance of his own. Aki hesitantly swung the chucks at Haruko’s head. Haruko grabbed the other end of the nun chucks, and kicked Aki away. He threw the chucks back to him, and got back into fighting stance. Aki caught the chucks, and swung them again. This time Haruko did a back flip, kicking Aki in the chin. Before Aki could regroup, Haruko jumped kicked him, and then punched him. On the next punch, Aki blocked it, and hit Haruko in his gut with the chucks. Haruko clutched his stomach, and Aki bashed Haruko in the back of the head with the chucks. Haruko fell flat on his stomach, and Aki grabbed him by his hair. He looked down and saw the bruise on the back of his neck healing, instantly.
“What the fuck are you?” Aki asked. Haruko tripped him, and hopped to his feet. Aki scrambled to his feet, and tried to grab his chucks, but the crow flew by and grabbed them into her beak. Aki charged at Haruko, who grabbed him by his arm, and reared back to punch him. Aki saw his fist coming, and ducked still in Haruko’s grip. He then punched Haruko in his chest, and Haruko came back with a punch of his own. Aki swung his fist over at Haruko’s head, and he blocked him with his forearm. The battle spilled to the ground, and Haruko kicked Aki, and he flipped over onto his back. Haruko hopped up nonchalantly, and just as Aki got up, Haruko did a spinning kick. Blood spilled from Aki’s mouth, as Haruko’s foot connected with his lip. Aki spun around in a 360, and he pulled a knife out of his blazer’s inside pocket. Just as Haruko came in for an attack, Aki jammed the hunting knife into Haruko’s throat. Haruko fell, face first to the ground at the edge of the building.
“Just a human,” Aki said. The crow stood on the other side of the roof, and unleashed an excruciating caw. Aki looked back to the bird, and threw his knife that he had ejected from Haruko’s throat at it.
“Shut up, bitch!” Aki yelled, at the ebony bird. He looked back, and saw the man with the painted face, staring up at him. The glare of his eyes startled Aki, and he immediately punched at Haruko, and missed. Haruko moved to side, and caught Aki before he could fall off of the roof. He then swept Aki to the ground, and grabbed a hold of Aki’s throat.
“I never thought I would see the day that I killed my best friend,” Haruko said.
“Haruko, it’s me, come on man!” Aki screamed, frantically.
“I saw you, you assisted in the murders of me and my other, and if I can still see straightly, you were about to kill my fucking sister!,” Haruko yelled back, and tightening his constricting grip over Aki’s neck.
“I…I..,” Aki stuttered, feeling the very air being sucked out of him.
“Can’t talk your way out of this one, Aki,” Haruko, tightened his grip even more, he felt his neck crack in his bare hands. After watching his former best friend die, he swung back into Kimmie’s window. He stared at the teenage girl from the foot of her bed, then he walked over to her bedside. He rubbed her face softly, and managed to get out a smile.
“It will all be over soon,” Haruko said. As soon as he touched her face, he felt a combination of memories tickle his mind.

“Haruko! No, stop it!” Kimmie screamed, as her brother held her to the ground, and tickled her unmercifully in the front yard of their large mansion.
“You are, so….mean!” Kimmie said through her laughter, as she squirmed in his embrace. Her pigtails shook like crazy, and her school uniform almost came off, as she struggled to get free.
“Haruko!”


Haruko let go of her tender face, and stepped away from her. Then he began to hear what Emi had said to him, that day in the park.

“Promise me, you will never go away.”

“Promise me, you will never go away.”

“Promise me, you will never go away.”
