Chapter 07
I’m in a dark room, can’t breathe enough, sweats drop one after another, my mouth is covered by a machine and eyes are wide open as I’m looking at a terrifying scene that no one wants to watch . A person in front of me is about to get killed by those guys.
“NO,STOP IT,PLEASE STOP IT, NO NO NOOOOOO!”
Those were the words I wanted to shout but every time I tried to neither speak nor move, the machine tightens its grip. Then just a blink of an eye a gunshot can be heard throughout the room. The woman is slowly falling down while blood is dripping on the cold floor. I wanted to shout out loud but I can’t, that moment I know I’m helpless, I can’t do anything to that person. The guys left as they know they couldn’t get any information anymore and the machine that is currently covering my mouth and holding my body is slowly releasing me from its tight grip. I wish that this horrifying moment in my life is just a nightmare, a nightmare that needs to be buried forever and then a light flashes in my eyes making my senses to come back. I opened it immediately then touch it. I can feel a warm liquid, a nightmare tears.
“it’s just a dream” I sighed in relief while tears started to flow again then I heard the door opened revealing a worried Kashiwagi-san. She then hugs me tightly and comforted me brushing my back with her warm hand.
“it’s fine now. I’m here” she said
“I *sniff* had a *sniff* nightmare. It’s so scary” I said with a broken voice, still crying. That dream was so real, that maybe there’s a possibility that the nightmare I had earlier is connected to why I can’t remember anything about my past.
“shhh. It’s fine now. It’s just a dream. Uhmmm what about we’ll go to an amusement park? What do you think?” she offered. She’s so kind to treat a stranger like me in that way.
“I want to go there but you have work, right?” I asked while wiping my tears away.
"it’s fine. I’ll just tell them I have some important things to do” she replied with a smile
“un” I nodded and gave her the best smile I could give in return for her kindness towards me.
“go and take a shower first. I’ll call my boss and tell him that I can’t come in for work today and after that I will prepare the breakfast” she said and I nodded then followed what she told me to do.
In the shower room, I find myself in a deep thought. What if that dream is real? What if those guys are coming after me? What if Yuki will get involved with all of these matters that currently I don’t remember? And lastly who’s that woman in my dream? Is she important to me?
“Mayu, it’s not real, it’s not real” I keep on telling myself. I then went out in the shower room and change clothes that Yuki prepared for me.
“Mayu-chan, breakfast is ready” She shouted loud enough for me to hear. I quickly went downstairs and saw her in the kitchen putting the food in the table.
“neh, Kashiwagi-san, why did you let me stay in here and take care of me? I’m a stranger you know” I asked and sat down on the chair near the table. There’s only quite few people know that lets a stranger stay in their house. I mean we don’t know if that person is bad or not, we don’t know what’s going on in that person’s mind.
“hmm. I don’t know but seeing you last night makes me feel that I’m kinda responsible to you. I almost hit you with my car too y’know and yes you’re a stranger but I know you’re not harmful.” She said while putting plates on the table.
“responsible” I thought
“you still don’t know me at all” I said while looking at her.
“why?do you know yourself now? I mean you lost some of your memories right?” she said while sitting opposite to me.
“she’s right, I lost some of my memories, but what if I regain them, will she still feels that I’m her responsibility?” I thought. I know this sudden loss of memories is just temporary.
“yeah, you’re right” I replied looking down. It’s not because I’m sad that I lost my memories. I’m just afraid to know what kind of person I am if I already get back my memories.
“don’t worry, I’ll help you remember your past” She comforted her and gives me her best smile “let’s eat now, we still have lots of things to do” she added
“thank you, Kashiwagi-san” I smile “I hope you won’t regret helping me to remember my past” I thought
“just Yuki, call me Yuki” she looks at me with a cute face
“un, Yuki” I said. I like to say it, I really do.
We then continued eating our breakfast then drove off to the police department because she needs to drop some files to her boss.
“just wait here ok? I just need to submit my report and after this we’ll go straight to the amusement park” She said holding her report. She turned on
the music maybe because she don’t want me to get bored waiting for her. She gets off from the car and left me sitting here while enjoying the rock music.
While I’m listening to the music, a sudden appearance of a memory from the past flashes through my mind making my head feels heavy and aching.
I was holding a necklace, just a simple one then a girl in front of me suddenly spoke.
“did you like it?”
“never lose this necklace. Take good care of it”
“the same girl who was in my dream earlier” I thought then another images flash once again.
“Mayu listen, you must be the one to continue and finish your dad’s investigation. Sadist will explain to you everything”
“Don’t you ever lose that necklace Mayu-chan”
“You have to reveal the truth and protect the people in this country”
“Remember this always, me and your dad loves you”
“their slowly coming back” I thought while trying to put the pieces together.
I looked at my necklace then hold it tightly.
“an important piece, a key to solve these mysteries” I whispered. I saw Yuki who is now getting out in the police department. I tried to be cheerful, singing the song that is being played on the radio.
“HOW DO WE GET HERE, WHEN I USED TO KNOW YOU SO WELL~~~” lucky I know this song.
“ehem, you seems like you’re having a good time” She said as she opened the door letting out a small laugh.
“I like this song” I smilingly said.
“it’s decode by Paramore. My best friend who is on vacation likes that song too. It’s the OST of her favourite movie” She informed and started the car’s engine.
“who is she? And vacation? where?” I asked still playing her air guitar. To put up a show earlier so that Yuki wouldn’t notice that I’m puzzled right now.
“I called her Acchan. She’s in UK right now with Takamina but they will be coming back week after next.
“Takamina…..Acchan” I thought
“wow. Are there lots of castles there? I love castles” I asked while looking outside the window.
Our little conversation is not that interesting at all especially when you’re thinking about something. Then after few minutes we arrived in the
amusement park. The place is really nice and there are lots of people making it livelier.
For an instant, my childishness surpasses my maturity making me eagerly to come out from the car and ride those fabulous rides that the park is offering. When Yuki turned off the car’s engine, I immediately went out from the car without giving her a time to speak that we’re here.
“WAAA! AMUSEMENT PARK!” I couldn’t help myself to shout those words. This is the best place to forget something that is making your life complicated for awhile.
“I’ll solve you later, but for now let me just enjoy the moment” I said to my own self as I feel that after this one, I can’t act like a child anymore.
“YUKI! C’mon let’s ride all of the rides that this amuseme----- WAAA, ice cream ice cream. Can I have ice cream?” I asked her, she smiled. I smiled back at her.
“I’m happy that you’re smiling” I murmured for her not hear my words.
“alright” She agreed and bought me an ice cream then handed it to me. It was a vanilla ice cream with a wafer stick on it.
“ice cream is really the best!!!” I shouted happily
“really?” she said in between her laughter
“uhn, you want some?” I said offering the ice cream I have. She nodded then tasted the ice cream.
“ice cream is really the best!!!” she suddenly shouted making the people around us to stare us.
We chuckled for a moment, then laugh out loud. We shared ice cream; I never thought sharing an ice cream makes it sweeter than it should be. After eating and choosing a ride, I decided to try roller coaster since its kinda challenging.
“are you sure you want to ride this Mayu?” she asked me trying to hide hear fear but failed to do so.
“yeah, it’s fun. Why? Are you afraid Yuki?” I said trying not to give her a smirk
“of co-course I-I’m not” she stuttered. She’s so cute when she’s trying to act so cool in front of me.
“ohh a police officer named Kashiwagi Yuki is afraid of riding rollercoaster” I teasingly said. There’s no more fun than teasing someone.
“sh-shut up, I’m not afraid of it” She said trying to be brave and immediately sat down to the available sit and fastened her seatbelt then pulled down the shoulder harness. I followed her and sat down next to her.
“to see is to believe huh?, hmm interesting” I thought
After few seconds the engine of the roller coaster started and it’s slowly moving. I look to her carefully trying to know if she’s really afraid or not. She then holds tightly to her shoulder harness. When she was about to look at me I immediately look forward so that she’ll not notice that I was staring at her earlier.
“a a a AHHHHHHHH” she shouted loudly into the air.
“weeeeeeeee this is FUN!” I said trying not to laugh of her scared face.
“NO IT’S NOT, IT’S CRAZY” She shouted when the roller coaster arrived at the first drop after the lift hill and followed by a double loop then double dip.
“HAHAHA” I laughed out loud since I can’t hold it any longer. Both are interesting, this ride and Yuki-san too.
It takes few minutes before the ride ended. She quickly ran towards a corner to vomit. I followed her not just because I’m kinda worried but I also want to tease her.
“Are you alright?” I asked sarcastically
“Do I look alright?” She replied with a cute funny face.
“Hahaha, if you just saw your face Yuki, you will definitely laugh at yourself” I put my hand trying not to burst myself into laughing crazily.
“shut up” She said kinda embarrassed.
“let’s go grab some food, I’m hungry” I said then grabs her hand and made my way to a near restaurant inside the amusement park.
“her hand is warm and soft”
We sat down in the right corner of the restaurant and looked at the menu.
“what do you want?” She asked me while I’m still looking at the menu.
“uhmm spaghetti, mango shake and for dessert, chocolate velvet cake” I said putting the menu on the table.
“Waiter” She raised her right hand to get the attention of the waiter. He quickly walked towards our direction and asked what our order is.
“2 spaghetti, 2 mango shakes and 2 chocolate velvet cake please” politely she said it to the waiter.
“please wait for your order ma’am” he bowed at us and went to get our order.
“I have to use the c.r” She said and I nodded then she walked to where the C.R is located.
After her figure vanished, a girl suddenly popped out then sat down to where Yuki was seating earlier.
“Mayu” she called my name but I don’t know her at all.
“who are you? Why do you know my name?” I asked her making her surprised for a second.
“you forgot about me, I see. Well I can’t blame you, because of the trauma of the accident you saw” She said to me like she knows everything about
me.
*meanwhile*writer’s POV*
“jurina, Yuki just finished using the toilet. She’s now washing her hands. You have 2 more minutes left. Tap the mini microphone once if you hear me” Rabutan who just went out in the restaurant’s toilet said through her earpiece. Jurina then tapped her mini microphone who once.
*Back to Mayu’s POV
“do I know you? Do you know everything about me?” I asked her but she stood up and about to walk away but she paused midway.
*Writer’s POV
“Jurina, minute and a half left, Yuki detected, she just came out from the comfort room door. You’ve got 30 seconds left to give the message to Mayu” Jl who is in the other side of the restaurant and currently hacking the cctv cam of the restaurant informed through her earpiece.
*Back to Mayu’s POV
“I know almost everything about you, if you want to know more about yourself meet me in the starbucks in shibuya district. Meet me during lunch time. Don’t tell anyone even Yuki about this meeting we had today and tomorrow’s meeting too. ” with those words said, she then left the premises.
I saw Yuki walking towards the table. She is staring at the person I was talking earlier.
“who is she?” she asked with curiosity
“Don’t tell anyone even Yuki about this meeting we had today and tomorrow’s meeting too”
“I don’t know, she was just asking if I saw a little boy roaming around the restaurant. Maybe it’s her little brother and got lost” I lied. It’s not that I don’t trust her; I just want to know my whole self before telling her who exactly I am.
“oh I see” She replied.
I’m now trying to think who that girl is. What is she to me? I want to force myself to remember my past.
“we’re going home first, ja ne Mayu-chan”
“Ja ne Nezumi, tomorrow we’ll be coming again to your house and eat breakfast with you!”
“the 3 of you! Eat your own breakfast at your own house not at my house!”
“but your mom’s food are really delicious. Ja ne~”“ahhh, my head, it hurts” I said putting my hands on my head. This is driving me crazy. The pieces slowly going back to its original places and little by little, I’m remembering the ME before I forgot some of my memories.
“hey, are you ok?” Yuki asked then stood up from where she was sitting and sat right next to me.
“drink this” she added then gave me a glass of water for me to drink.
“are you alright? Did you remember anything?” She asked while brushing my back up and down.
“no-nothing, I just remembered the dream I had earlier” I lied once again.
“are you sure?” She asked worriedly
“yeah, sorry for making you worried” I reassured
“Jurina” I whispered while looking at the door of the restaurant. Now I remember her, I remember them.
“did you say something?” She asked. She must heard me murmured something.
“oh nothing, I said let’s eat” I replied and start digging my meal for her not to get suspicious behind my actions.
After eating and resting, we continue riding the rides that the amusement park offers. We really have fun, sharing laughter together. I had fun teasing her while she didn’t complain at all. She bought me clothes for me to wear. She’s one of a kind I swear.
I woke up early, and I was kinda surprised that I’m already in the room and also that there’s someone hugging me.
“ehhh?” I said when I turned to face who that person is hugging me from behind.
“Yuki” I whispered. She’s still sleeping like a child. I stared her for awhile while caressing her warm and soft cheeks with my cold hands.
“good morning Yuki” I whispered but still the girl beside me is still sleeping. I decided to prepare a breakfast for her and also an obento for her to eat during lunch time. It’s the least thing she could do for the great help you had given. Minutes had passed and Yuki woke up and breakfast. We had a little breakfast conversation too and after that I give her the obento and then send her off to her work.
“now it’s time for me to prepare for today’s meeting with Jurina” I said to myself then headed to the shower.
~meeting place : lunch time ~
I saw Jurina who is waiting for me patiently inside the café. Without hesitation, I then opened the door and sat opposite to her.
“yo”
“yo”
“what do you want to drink?” She asked me
“mocha cookie crumble frap and brownies” I said
“your order in this café really haven’t change at all” She smiled then walk to the counter to take our orders. Few minutes she get back and now holding 2 frap and 2 brownies.
“so I’ll introduce myself to you Mayu, I’m—“
“Jurina” I said not waiting to finish her sentence.
“I remember you and the others too. I forced myself to remember all but I couldn’t. Now tell me what really did happen, to my mother and to my father. Those are the two remaining pieces of my puzzled memories that I vaguely remember” I stated.
“where should I start?” Jurina who seems having a hard time trying to figure out where should she start the story, scratches her head. I just keep silent, waiting patiently.
“to be honest” she said then inhaled deeply before releasing the last words that will complete her sentence.
“you’re parents are no longer alive” I was shocked and couldn’t believe her words. Then she started to tell the story of what happened that night, when my mother was killed by those men and also my dad’s story.
As she continued explaining and telling the story, image keeps flashing in my mind one after another. My memories of my past, I’ve regained it but a fragment of hatred is now created inside my heart.
I saw what happened to my mother, but to my father, to be killed by a police officer, I didn’t know.
“who, who’s that police officer that killed my father?” I asked trying to control my anger. I know that the organization already knew who’s that person is but before Jurina could tell me the person’s name. I saw a familiar face running away. It’s one of the guys who were there at that night. I quickly get up and followed that guy for revenge.
“Mayu wait!” I heard Jurina shouted my name and I know she’s following me.
Too much from running I finally cornered the guy in a dark messy corner. With hatred burning in my eyes, with anger inside my heart I immediately throw a punch to that guy.
“you brat! How dare you punch my face!” the man shouted angrily to me and throws a punch but to his dismay it didn’t landed to his target. I quickly grab his hand and twisted it behind his back making him shriek in pain.
“who are you?” He asked
“who’s that guy? The guy who killed my mother,Who is he?” I asked
“What do you mean?”
“you know what I mean” I shouted with anger. I hold his hair then bang his head towards the wall making his forehead bleed.
“don’t tell me you are”
“yeah”
He throws a punch when he finally realizes who I am using his free hand but luckily I’m faster than he is and dodges the attack. I then kicked his stomach making him bend because of pain then hit his back using my elbow making him fall into the ground. I then made the guy face me and sat on his stomach and punch his face several times.
“TELL ME WHO IS HE!” I shouted to the guy who is now bleeding badly.
“K-k-kawashima J-Jun” He said while trying to breathe enough air.
I then saw a metal tube near and decided to pick it up but when I was about to hit it to the man’s body Jurina appeared and interrupted my doings.
“Mayu! That’s enough!” she shouted
After hearing those words, I was back to the normal me. I couldn’t believe of what I did to this man. Laying unconsciously, taking a bath with his blood.
“sorry I was carried away by my emotions” I apologized to Jurina who is putting her gloves to help me remove my fingerprints on that tube.
“It must be hard for you but remember that we don’t kill anyone. Our organization is made not to bring terror but peace” She said while taking out a cutter from her pocket. She then opens the man’s mouth and engraved the symbol of our group on his tongue. She then left a cut a little bit on the guy’s head.
It’s one rule that every group must engrave their symbols to the people or group that they have encountered. It’s like a mark that they are part or evidence to our own investigation.
“Sorry” I bowed
“it can’t be help. You’re suffering right now and it’s normal to build hatred inside your heart but we know you’ll overcome this one since you are our leader and ohhh this is my little revenge of what they or this person did to your mom” Jurina smiled at me
“but ahhh even though you have a small and body, you really did a great job with this man. Scary Mayu tsk tsk” she added while looking at the person I beaten.
“you’re scary too in your own way Jurina.. ahhhh SHIT! We have to get out of here before police would find his body” I face palmed as I realized that what I did is sort of a crime.
We then ran and escape the crime scene.
“thank you Jurina”
“no problem”
