Part 1 - The files
Aki was the one who asked me to look at the folders we took out of the secret room at the academy.
I went straight to Aki's folder.
-So Aki, let's see what it says.
We started to read the only two pages of his files... They knew almost everything about Aki, blood type, height, weight, academic achievements, a lot of information, but the important thing was the following, Marte as it appeared here was the agent in charge of kidnapping Aki, but the document says that something went wrong, that something was "two-faced escape", which I didn't understand shit really, it also talked about the dagger, which Asuna told us, and the most surprising thing was the following that at least with Aki we were a little happy.
-Aki the necklace exists, the silly necklace from that movie that allows you to see and touch the spectres exists.
I was laughing, because I couldn't believe it.
-I'm happy about that too Hika, if we can't find my body at least something exists that I can touch you with.
-I'm not laughing at that Aki, I'm sorry I'm an idiot, how could I not suspect her, not if I did, I just didn't want to think about her having anything to do with it.
-I don't understand you Hika.
-Asuna knew everything from the beginning, it's not very curious that she told us about the necklace and then the dagger... Even I thought the idea of going to school was mine, but the day we went to the mall when you were looking at clothes, Asuna innocently told me about the mysteries of the school, how could I have been so stupid?
-She's known everything that happened from the beginning.
Aki couldn't believe what she was saying, I had to insist for a long time to convince her, but it all fit now.
-I know it's all very suspicious, but we should at least hear what she has to say, knowing you, you're going to confront her Hika.
-I'd like to, but I don't think I can do it, even though I'm angry, I know Asuna's in a bad way right now and that doesn't act it... how can I be fond of her even though I know she betrayed us from the beginning, the bastard.
-Hika don't talk about her like that, I know this looks bad for her, but what if you're wrong, what if it was all a coincidence?
-Coincidence my balls... sorry I didn't have to talk to you like that, I'm just so frustrated, what the fuck am I talking about, you must feel so much worse than me, I always put myself first thinking about what I think, and I never ask you Aki, my head is in chaos.
From the corridor I heard Emi's voice saying that she had arrived from the wake, I answered her without thinking too much, but I continued with Aki.
-At least you finally realise that... but it doesn't bother me I know you think of me when you want to do things, besides without you, and the others I would be lost now... you don't know how scared I am because I'm not even able to remember what I did, but it was something bad, when I came to myself, your eyes were full of fear, that's why and for all the support you've given me, I want to listen to Asuna.
-I want to do it too, but let me talk to her alone first... I feel very betrayed, and I must talk to her about things she has told me in confidence, so stay here when I go to her house tomorrow.
I was really lying to her, what I wanted was to talk to Asuna first, so she wouldn't hurt Aki, with whatever she has to say.
-Again you're being unfair to me Hikaru, but it's okay, but I want something in return....
-Whatever it is ask me, I'll fulfill it.
-First I want you to buy me the weekly Sky pasarel magazine, as your sister Kaede comes, which is my favorite model, I want you to ask her some questions about me and finally... I want to write a letter to my parents, I want them to know that I'm fine, and I need you to deliver it to them.
-Emi won't like the first thing, but there's no problem, we have a deal then Aki? I'm glad to hear that you at least want to get in touch with your parents....
Part 2 - Drunk
Looking at the rest of the files we discovered many things, quite disturbing, but unfortunately out of the 42 people's files 22 were almost unreadable as they had black marker on the letters, another 8 were at least readable and out of the ones that were readable I found things I couldn't believe.
-I need to show this to Emi, Aki.
-Hika, if everything these documents say is true, then a lot of us are in danger.
-Shit if it's true, but I don't understand anything.
Without wasting any more time I arrived and entered Emi's room, which led me to a surprise that gave me a bad taste in my mouth.
-Hip... What... needs Hip, Her-ma-ni-to. - he said with a chuckle.
Emi was completely drunk, there were beer cans everywhere you looked.
After talking to her in the morning, I thought she would be much better, but how wrong I was.
-Hika, I don't think anyone can be very well after drinking so much.
-Don't tell me Aki.... Emi give me that, don't drink anymore.
-Why don't you Hip... you're going to snatch this from me too...hip.
-What are you talking about I never took anything from you?
Emi threw a can towards the door staining everything with beer, then she stood up angrily, but she was so drunk she could barely avoid falling down.
-Liar...Hip, you're a liar Hikaru Hip....
Emi was laughing as she was kicking her fart backwards, barely walking towards me, even at the end she had to lean on my shoulders to keep herself from falling down.
-You took away my love for you, you denied me... or maybe... Hip, it was Akari who did it... Tell me?
I didn't even know what to answer her, I just looked at Aki, because it hurt me so much to see Emi in this state.
-So the thief, she's here with us.
-Don't call Aki a thief, she's not at all to blame," I said angrily.
Emi grabbed my face and forced me to look at her.
-They've taken everything from me in this shitty life...Hip.... everything I've ever wanted, starting with the.... Hip of our mother who went off with... Hip with a 17 year old asshole... you know that Hi-ka-ru... that asshole was the boy I liked...Hip... even though I was too young for him...Hip.
Emi got very attached to me, she even grabbed my ass.
-Emi you are very drunk you should leave him.
Aki had spoken to Emi, but she didn't listen.
-I had no idea about that, Emi, you never told me.
-Obviously I didn't...Hip, it's very embarrassing hip.... but I never thought that you...hip you'd leave me too...hip.... although you haven't done it yet...Hip, soon you'll do it to go with...Hip...A-ka-ri... just like our mother...and the traitor Hip... of Gonzalo.
-Emi I'm never going to abandon you
I grabbed Emi's hand that was on my ass, then I held both of her hands.
-It hurts me what you say to me and Aki, but Emi believe me I'm never going to abandon you, you are my mother to me, understand that, you are what I love the most, along with Aki.
-Men-ti-ro-so-so...Hip no more lies.... Hikaru.
Emi let go of my hands, grabbed my head again, and kissed me on my mouth, I even felt her tongue...
I had to push Emi, she ended up falling on top of the bed.
-Don't be stupid Emi, you can't do that, we're....
-You idiot that hurts...Hip you made her bite me.....
Aki had thrown water on Emi's face that she had inside a bottle in her room, then Aki threw the bottle anywhere.
She ran away immediately.
-Aki I didn't...
Akari had stopped at the door, she was crying.
-Hikaru don't worry, I know this isn't your fault, you didn't kiss her, I'm not mad at you, fix things with that idiot, I'll be fine, I'll wait for you in your room.
-Aki don't go...
She ran away.
-What the fuck did I do...? Hikaru didn't want to...
-It seems that the ice water woke you up Emilia... -Hikaru...
-Hikaru believe me I didn't mean for this to happen... -Hikaru believe me I didn't mean for this to happen... Hip
She got out of bed, but, even though she had come to, she was still drunk, so she fell on her desk.
-Emilia, shut up for a while, I'll go get some coffee to sober you up, and I'll go wash out my mouth, which now tastes like alcohol.
I was about to start insulting Emi, I wanted to... shit.
On the way to the kitchen I couldn't avoid hitting the wall, unfortunately as it was a vulcanite wall I broke it.
I came back with the coffee made.
-Here, drink it all.
-Hikaru I...
-First drink it all and then we'll talk, Emilia.
I waited for her to drink all the coffee before talking, which took a while.
-I'm done Hikaru, I'm sorry I did something stupid, I was an idiot, I swear to you by the love I have for you that nothing I said is true, I only talked nonsense, I didn't have to kiss you, I was a complete imbecile.
-The first thing I want you to do is to apologize to Akari, tomorrow once you're better, and so is she, do you understand?
Hikaru won't even look me in the face, shit when I kissed him I know he made a disgusted face... because I had to do something stupid, how do I fix things?
-Brother... What can I do to make you forget about all this, and forgive me.... Hikaru, please look me in the face.
She grabbed me by the shoulders, as she could see, I was holding back the urge to cry, I never thought I would feel so upset with Emi, I just wanted to tell her to fuck off, but on the other hand I felt really bad about myself for feeling this way.
-If you want to fix things, start by stopping drinking, at least until you get over the mourning... I never told you anything because you always controlled yourself, I know that now it's because of Matsuo, but your stupidity hurt Akari and me...
-Don't worry I'll stop drinking if that's what you want, but just don't see me like this it hurts me.
-Then how the fuck do you want me to see you, if what you want I can't give it to you, I told you, my heart belongs to Akari.
-Yes I know, understand me, I got carried away because I got drunk, my head is not well either, believe me Hikaru, I didn't want any of this to happen. - she told me desperately.
I took a breath to relax.
-Emilia, don't worry for my part I'll get over my anger, I'm not going to let a bad kiss ruin what we have, but don't ask me right now to be happy for life, just promise me that you will fix Akari.... you can start by buying her the magazine she likes on a weekly basis.
-Hikatu, I'm lucky to have you... as for the other thing, I don't think Akari will excuse me with that alone.
-No, but I promised her before all this that I'd buy it for her.
-Wait a minute, that's just a way of making up for what happened... you win, but I'd like to talk things over with her now, not tomorrow.
-You still reek of copete, and she was hurt, I don't think it's the right time.
I'll leave you to tidy everything up, and tidy your head too... I'm going out for a bit, I'll go to the square for a while, I need to tidy myself up too.
-Don't stay too late, it's snowing, Hikaru... Forgive me.
-Not yet... but I will, by the way, read these files, we already read them with Akari, you must read them, we're in trouble, in serious trouble Emilia.
-Don't scare me like that... don't leave me talking to myself Hikaru.
-I'm going, read them.
-I'll do it right away... a moment like that kiss badly given.
Part 3 - 2 years of darkness.
As I had told Emi, I went down to the square, the grass was not even visible because of the snow, even the trees were accumulating it.
I continued past the swings that I usually go on, reached the edge of the forest and entered, luckily it was a full moon night which allowed me to see.
I was looking for a certain place that I hadn't visited for a long time, in fact, I hadn't been here for as long as I could remember.
I came to a part of the forest where the trees seemed to be burning, in a whole circumference.
-Hikaru, what are you doing here, why did you leave the house?
-Aki, I see you followed me, if I needed to get back to a place.
-Silly, it's too late, here, put it on, it's snowing and it's very cold.
Aki had brought me a scarf, inside I was a bit glad, as it meant I was getting better with the objects.
I put on the scarf, it was really cold, but since I was thinking about other things I didn't feel it, until Akari found me.
-So bad things went so badly with... your sister.
-No actually no, I managed to sober her up and she's very sorry for what she did, I'm just furious with her and myself I guess, So I wanted to come back here, where it all started for me.
-What do you mean Hika?
-There's something I haven't told you Aki.
What the fuck is going on, in these documents Asuna is listed as a target for experimentation, also other kids from her school, Yui akimoto, Jim Nogawa, Enko Yoke, Matsuo's sister is also listed as a target, Nikota Matsuo, but why are the two of us listed?
Hikaru Nishimura Target to Watch
Emilia NIshimura Target to be watched
Why are me and my little brother in your data?
Akari my life basically started from here, when my mother left me, I told you that I was left in a hole, but what I mean by that, is that I am unable to remember the first two years since she left us. The first thing I remember is that I woke up here, I was crying, although I didn't know why, and Emi was hugging me crying just like me, she was very worried about me, I even remember that my whole body hurt and Emi had a couple of burns that disappeared with time.
That's why for me Emi is very important, she is the one who brought me back from wherever I was trapped in my head. That's why it hurts so much to be angry with her, Aki.
I couldn't take it anymore and cried, while Aki comforted me in her own way.
I came to this place to remember what happened, but the short time I was here, made me want to run away from here.
-Aki...snif...let's go back to the house.
-Yes Hikaru, let's go back together.
