"NO!" Artemis shouted, turning his attention away from Renji to yell at Hitsugaya, "No, we are going to find one! He's not going to die, I won't--!"
The boy turned back to Renji as he repeated the words again. His hysteria immediately kicked up several notches when he realized Renji wasn't breathing. The hand that was in both of his was suddenly very cold.
"Renji! RENJI!!" Artemis screamed, shaking the man's shoulder. "No, no... no no no, no...!" His mind started racing. He could fix this. This wasn't so hard, he'd brought people back from the dead before. He could just do CPR until a healer arrived. Or put Renji in the freezer and call Holly. Or he could just do it himself. Yes, that's what he'd do.
He sat, holding Renji's hand, shuddering uncontrollably, tears freely streaming down his cheeks. He couldn't do anything. Renji was gone. He was gone...
Because of him. Because he had rushed in when Hitsugaya had told him to retreat. Because Hitsugaya had healed him instead of Renji. Another man was dead because of him.
Artemis looked up at the ceiling and screamed as loud as he could. It was the only way he could expel everything he was feeling.
