*よく覚えられないよ。。。よく忘れられないよ。。。
全ての思い出は。。。少しずつ。。。少しずつ。。。戻っているんだ。。。
The sunshine hurt my eyes… but I don’t want to wake up… why am I alive? Where am i? Why am I waking up???
“He’s awake!!!” I heard a voice right next to me
Shut up…I don’t want to hear anything anymore…
“Hurry!! We have to call the doctors!!”
I tried to move my hand, but I can’t… please… leave me alone… I’ve seen enough…I want to go with them…
“How’s his condition?” the raven haired man asked one of the doctors
“He’s just awake, but I think he’ll get well eventually… I’m sure of it”
“Please take good care of him… I’ll come back when he’s getting better”
“……….what happened with his parents?”
“…………………” the raven haired man only moved his face into the floor with a sad gaze.
“….i see……I’ll call you when he gets better”
I could hear footsteps approaching me, my vision is still blurry but I could see a bit that one of the persons that talked earlier is approaching me.
“Taka-kun… can you see me?”
I only nodded weakly as I tried getting clearer vision.
“You should rest for now… you’ll get better…” I nodded again before closed my eyes, trying to make sure that this were all only a dream. I heard footsteps, thinking that the person is leaving me… wait!!! I need to make sure of something… “Why am I alive?”
The footsteps stopped.
“Why are you asking that?”
“So… I am indeed alive?”
“Yes you are!”
“Why do you save me?”
“………..you really should just rest…..”
“What do I have left? Now that they were gone…”
“Taka… listen… you have to stop being sad… you have to-”
“What do you know about me???”
“………………..listen kid…… I know this is hard for you but you really have to do something about your life, you can’t sulk forever!!”
“I’m sorry but I’m not that strong. I’m only human after all… why didn’t God just take my life too?”
He sighed hard “just rest… I can’t let my self snap over an injured patient” he walked out of the room.
This isn’t a dream… I don’t want this… why it isn’t a dream??? Why am I alive???
*_*
“Detective… that young man is certainly having mental problems… and I’m sure you’re aware of that”
“Yes… I bet it’s really hard for him… what about we’ll let him stay here for awhile? If he’s getting nuts… it can’t be helped then… we have to move him”
“We’ll see about it”
*_*
Hours, days, months has passed… ever since the night I got into the hospital…I met with a lot person… they were all very interesting, except they always appears at weird times and at weird places…I wonder if they were all sick like me… they seemed so pale and… transparent? I’m feeling very comfortable with them… they really looked like mommy and daddy…
“Taka-kun? Where are you?? it’s time for your medicine!”
“Hey, stay here okay? I’ll be back once I drank the medicine” the boy walked cheerfully into the nurse
“Taka… who are you talking with?”
“I’m talking with her~” the boy pointed into the room, and when the nurse followed his hand… he saw no one…
“………that’s… weird……I don’t see anyone…”
“Yuko-chan is nice! Why did you say those things??”
“????? L-let’s just drink the medicine…” the nurse gave him the medicine. When all is done, the nurse walked away from the boy without saying anything.
“Doctor… I think… Taka is… “ The nurse stopped her words… unable saying something cruel about the poor boy.
“………we better call that detective…”
What are they talking about? Why are those kids afraid at me?? Am I really that weird?? And why they kept saying that Yuko-san isn’t here???!! She’s really kind but why does all of them looking at me like I’m some kind of disease?? Why are they afraid with me??? What did I do wrong??? Stop staring at me like that!!! Stop talking things about me!!! Stop it!!!!!
Mommy… daddy… I missed you guys…
“………….i’ll call the other hospital…… I knew a good place for him…”
“Is it the same as your brother’s? And how is he doing?”
“Yes… he’s doing great…”
“Glad to hear that…Ah… they’re here”
“We have to move Takanori…”
Who are these people?? What are they doing??? Let go of me!!! Let me go!!! I don’t want to go!! Yuko’s the only one I have!!! Please don’t do this!!! Don’t take my mom away!!! Don’t take my dad away!!!!
“Look out!!! He’s holding a knife!!!”
“I don’t want to go!!!!” the boy swung the knife around, trying to get rid off of the doctors who went close to him
“We have to anesthetize him!” then one of the doctors came into the room bringing a syringe. “Hold him!!!” a white clothed and masked man enters the room and smacked the knife away, he held the boy within his arms
“Hurry!!!” as the boy kicking and struggling violently, one of the doctors successfully gave the boy a shot. He started crying and his moves were getting weak, the anesthesia is taking its effect.
“Why… Yu…ko… chan…” then the boy collapsed in tears
*_*
Where am i? Why does nobody believes to what I said? i hate them… I thought they would understand… I don’t want to live anymore… I want to be with my daddy and mommy…I don’t want to be separated anymore…
“Hey… are you alright?” my blurry vision soon become clearer and saw the raven haired man that I always saw talking with the man in white.
“……….” I don’t feel like answering… in fact I don’t want to wake up…
“From now on, you’ll be staying here… try to behave okay? They won’t let you go unless you’ll behave… I hate to see you like this” then he patted my shoulder and walked out of the room.
I tried to move my hand… but I can’t… I tried to move my legs, there’s something straining it… I moved my head around… I saw my whole body was tied to the bed. As the time passes I see no purpose on moving or trying to run away…since I don’t have any purpose to live anymore…
Time sure passes slowly… I could still see the pale and transparent folks… most of them tried to talk to me… but I ignored them… I don’t want to do anything…
As day by days were passing by… I never talked to both my pale friends or to any other people that trying to make any kind of communication with me… I just ignored them… all I wanted was they believed at what I said… that Yuko…she’s really there…
I missed my mother…
*_*
“How’s his condition?”
“He’s awake… but… he looks horrible…” The raven haired man walked away “I’m going to visit my brother…”
“Wait! Detective! Your mother told me… she forbids you to meet him…”
The raven haired man’s gaze turned into a cold one “…………can you say again……on what reason for you to forbid me to meet my own brother?”
“Be-because your mother…”
“DAMMIT!” the raven haired man punched to the wall trying to suppress his anger. He closed his eyes for a while before taking a deep breath. Then he moved again leaving the doctor confused.
“Detective!! Where are you going??”
“I need to speak with my mother. I’ll be back here when I’m done”
*_*
*pokes*
“……”
*pokes pokes*
“……………”
*pokes* “Hey…… I know you’re not dead”
“Go away”
“I just saw you’re in this morning…”
“……..”
“Anyways… try to behave just a little bit more, and then they’ll definitely let you out of this isolation room”
“I don’t care”
“But those two guys cared about you… they said they were your parents or something…”
!!!! What did he say??? “………………who said that?”
“Them” He points to the right side. I moved my gaze and I saw no one. Nobody’s there except some… white blurry figures…
“You… can see too?”
“Something like that~” then he smiled
“How did they look like?”
“ummm… a woman and a man… the woman has a long brown hair she’s and wearing a white dress… as for the man… he’s a bit…”
“……Short and has a black hair…”
“Yes! It’s exactly like that~ but… why did you cry?”
“It’s none of your business… please leave me alone…” I can’t hold the tears that start to fall from my eyes… I closed my eyes as my tears fell…
Soon I feel a pair of warm hands in both side of my cheek… when I opened my eyes, his face were only inches away from his face…
“Don’t cry…” he whispered as he looked into my eyes… for some reason… he doesn’t look like his self… “It’s not your fault… Taka…”
“Mom??” He kissed on my forehead and smiled
“No, I’m not… but she told me to say and do this to you…”
I can’t hold my sobs as I closed my eyes “……I wish I could turn back time…” he quickly moved his palms and erased all the tears that’s flowing through my eyes.
“Did you know that humans can stop time?” I tried to stop my tears as I listened to the boy. He pulled something out of his pocket and showed me a picture of… him… and his family… I guess…
“At that moment, time stops… maybe you weren’t able to turn back time… but at least you have stopped that time right? So the memory would never be gone” somehow I felt a bit relieved… but still… no matter what I do… they would never be back… ever…
“Thank you…”
The other boy looked at me in a surprised manner “eh??? Why??”
“I just feel like saying it…”
“hnn… you’re welcome?” the boy smiled and giggled
“Can we be friends?”
“Oh sure!! It’s boring here! And nobody understands me like you do…”
“You mean about…”
“Yeah… somehow I could feel that they were scared about me…” he shrugged “but oh well, so what if they scared” he laughed again
“Oh by the way… my name is Takanori Matsumoto… you could call me Taka”
“Shoot!! Where were my manners??” he scratched the back of his head and laughed a bit
“My name is-”
*_*
Ruki!!! He’s awake!!! Thank goodness!!! He’s awake!!!
“……wh-where…is…”
Shush! Ruki! Don’t talk too much yet! You’ve been asleep for 3 days now!!
“Kou…I remembered…”
