I stared down at the bucket of flower petals as I pondered what to do. Maybe I can make weird morbid flower crowns and send them to Momota as a joke....the possibilities are endless.

"Is he asleep?" A voice asked and I raised an eyebrow. What's going on? "I'll go check" Takashiro said and quickly I ducked under the covers and pretended to be asleep.

The door creaked opened for a second before closing.

"He's asleep, did you get the information on Hanahaki Chiasa?" Takashiro asked, "me and Eiji have been researching for weeks, and from what you said when you noticed the symptoms hes in a later stage of Hanahaki" Chiasa explained.

"It'll get more dangerous once the thorns start growing...then the roses....we don't have a lot of time" she said, "ok....so anyone have any ideas?" Takashieo asked as I decided to sit next to the door yo listen to the conversation at the other end.

"Can we set them up on blind dates? Like no joke, I kind of looked this Saihara guy up more and MY GOSH why didn't you guys tell me he was hot?! Kokichi's got good taste" Nao shipped and I smacked myself in the face.

Of course he ships us...

"Well you big ape, maybe it's because he is a DETECTIVE and we're THIEVES" Mirai scolded and I could imagine her wacking him in the head, "oww!" Nao whined. Called it.

"Well we need to do something" Kazue pointed out, "what're we going to do? Because Kokichi is going to die unless we can force the detective to love him or we need to pay for his surgery" Kazue stretched.

"Well we need to the surgery I guess, now what's the cost you two?" Takashiro asked, "that's the problem...Hanahaki is really really rare...so the amount of doctors who actually can perform it so...its expensive" Chiasa admitted.

I clenched my fist, they're actually talking about this...."well....ok guys what should we do, take another loan? Get jobs? We can always saw we're going to hang out to him and he won't know. Probably" Takashiro asked.

"I mean me and Mirai are in school still..." Takura brought up, "that's true...look you're graduating soon right? When you graduate we'll have everyone except him working and we'll still be the thieves we'll get the money in no time" Takashiro answered.

"Ok then, so...we can save him?" Genkei said enthusiastically. The room seemed to fill with cheers till I heard someone sobbing in the distance.

She knows...

"Chiasa! What's wrong" Kazue asked immediately, "he's dying, we could never afford this in time...and we have so much debt from others! We can barely afford the apartments and some of us work two jobs...we...we can't" she admitted.

"We looked through every corner, every single dime we could earn through any means necessary....we would never make it, even if we tried getting a loan from the bank we would be denied more than likely" Eiji explained.

"Wait...so...that means...?" Riko asked I could tell her voice was cracking as a sob erupted, I don't know from where.

"Kichi is gonna die...and right now nothing we can do can save him..." Chiasa admitted.

"There has to be some way!" Tsuki insisted, "some kind of alternate medicine! Someone who can take pity on us to let us pay back the money later! Anything!" Tsuki cried.

I know where some of the sobbing came from now.

"DON'T YOU THINK I'M LOOKING?!" Chiasa screamed I could practically see her tear stained face, and knowing her when she cries snot everywhere.

I hated seeing them cry.

I stood up despite my better judgement and wiped some petals off my face. My legs felt weak....it was pathetic.

I opened the door to a room filled with sobbing DICE members as they stared at me in shock.

"Y-You're awake?" Takashiro asked and I nodded, "yup~" I answered using a fake smile and energy as I walked into the room the urge to sleep growing.

"What's all this talk about dying? Supreme Leaders can never die" I told them.

"This world will be mine forever!" I claimed as I heard some sniffling. I didn't dare break, "but...I thought you-" Riko asked.

"My precious Saihara Chan will never be able to take me away from you guys!" I cheered.

"The flowers just need a while to get their priorities straight!" I assured them. Nao chuckled, "what about you is ever straight...?" He asked.

Thanks Nao....

"Haha, very funny now isn't it movie night? Let's go watch something" I said as we walked to the couch and some gathered chairs.

I knew they were now masking their sadness like I was masking the immense pain that was growing every day in my body.

But this artificial happiness would have to last for now.

♤~♡~◇~♧

I lept through the rooftops, my heart was pounding and every single moral screaming at me to turn back and pretend I never thought of this.

But I ignored it.

Finally I had reached the apartment as I climbed down the fire escape ladder to the window and started to quietly break into it.

I took another deep breath as I pulled out the long knife I had carried inside my jacket up to this point creeping across the apartment till I finally found the bedroom.

The bedroom which had the world famous detective Shuichi Saihara in it.

My heart was beating so loudly I'm suprised he didn't wake up as I walked closer to the bed.

He can't love him if he's dead.
He can't find us if he's dead.
We can't get a happy ending unless he's dead.

I looked down at the sleeping figure as I bit my tongue tears were fogging up my eyes as I raised the knife, the motion waking the detective up as he stared at me in shock.

I quickly pressed down on his body restricting his movements as I felt my hand trembling.

"STOP! WHAT'RE YOU DOING?" The detective screamed and I shut my eyes tightly, "You made me do this" I responded as I stared at the knife in my shaking hand.

I flung it across the room suprising the detective as I collapsed onto my knees sobbing.

I can't do it Kichi...I'm sorry....I can't do it....I can't save you...

The detective started to get up as I stumbled out of his apartment as I crawled out of his window and ran as fast as I could.

The second I was most likely out of earshot I grabbed my jacket and screamed into it as tears never seemed to stop falling.

"I'M SORRY KOKICHI! I'M SORRY!" I sobbed as I stared at my red hair flying in the wind.

He saw my face...its only a matter of time now...I...I need to find some other way...I can't let him die...
