Chapter 35 - The Priestess Has Fallen

Yuuta:

On the search for Dekomori my phone started ringing. I looked at the number, though it wasn't any I recognized. I decided not to pick up just in case it was a spam caller, but they called again. Picking up the call I heard Rikka's mom on the other line.

"Hello Ms. Takanashi how are you?" I answered.

"I'm sorry to call you all of a sudden, but I can't reach Rikka." She sounded distressed.

"She's out looking for one of our friends." Nothing could prepare me for what she was about to say.

"Touka is in the hospital her heart gave out." My eyes widened as I gripped my phone tightly.

"We'll be there as soon as possible." I ended the call.

"Togashi?" Nibutani looked at me confused.

"I need you to contact Kumin right away." Nibutani nodded and did as I asked. I called Shichimiya to find if she knew where Rikka was, but thankfully Rikka was with her. I told her to wait there with Rikka. Upon reaching Rikka and Shichimiya I noticed Rikka was trying to get answers from Shichimiya. Rikka quickly ran over to me after she noticed me questioning what was going on. I grabbed her holding her tight against me as we waited for Kumin to pull up.

We had finally arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later. Rikka kept trying to get answers from all of us, but her mom asked me to keep it from her until she saw Touka no matter how hard it was to keep it from her. Making our way into the hospital I finally gained the nerve to say something. We stopped outside the hospital room.

"Before we head in I want you to prepare yourself for anything." I let out a deep sigh and led Rikka into the room where Touka was presented Infront of her.

"W-what..." All of the color left Rikka's face upon seeing her sister. One thing I wasn't prepared for was Touka to be in as bad a condition as she was.

Rikka:

Before Satone and I could start our battle she gets a call from Yuuta. For some reason we were told to wait here until Yuuta arrived. After Yuuta and Kumin arrived he held me crying, but no one would tell me what was going on. We all got in the car and went to a hospital which only made me more confused then Yuuta stopped me outside of a room.

"Before we head in I want you to prepare yourself for anything." I nodded as he let out a deep sigh. I was hit with a blast of heavy emotions upon entering the room then looked at the hospital bed. My sister, Touka Takanashi, was dying right before me.

"W-what..." That was the only word that slipped out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry, Rikka, I was told not to-" I cut him off.

"It's okay you did it protect me." I kiss him on the cheek while trying to keep my composure. Yuuta walked closer to Touka and bowed.

"You might have given me a hard time, but I'm glad to know." Tears ran down the side of Yuuta's face.

"Wow that's kinda rude." Touka laughed weakly, "Thanks for protecting my little sis."

As Yuuta stood there I walked up beside Touka's bed.

"You know I went through so much hell because of you." I exclaimed, "You tried to force me out of my coping mechanism. You convinced my boyfriend to actually force me out of it. You hit me on the head multiple times with a ladle. Oh and let's not forget the time you tried to force me to move to Italy."

"So does that mean you're mad at me?" Touka looked at me.

"I could never be mad at you." A tear trickled down my face, "You may have been mean to me, but thats what sisters do and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way."
