Chapter One: Reunion
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock…
The clock was taking its sweet time as it neared the end of the last period of the day.
I sat near my friend, Ami, and we passed each other notes secretly.
"So, tell me again about what happened last night?" Ami wrote on the paper.
I sighed. "My mother and father yelled at me for talking to a boy on the way home. They say it's for my protection. Whatever. It's not like I'll have intercourse with a boy I just met." I wrote.
"That's harsh. What are you going to do tonight?" She wrote back.
"I don't know. I don't want to talk to them. They just make me so mad! I wish they would die," I wrote.
Ami gasped a little bit. "Akemi-chan! Don't say that! They're your parents!"
I closed my eyes and nodded. "I suppose you're right. Forget that I ever said that,"
Then, we heard the door knock. Inside came Miss. Takeshi, the assistant principal.
"Uh, May I speak to Touta Akemi for a moment please?" She asked.
"Yes, of course," My teacher said.
I glanced at Ami. Her face was full of concern.
I walked out the door and faced Miss. Takeshi. "You wanted to speak to me?"
"Hai (Yes). Um… I don't know how to say this but… we've just gotten a call from the local hospital," She said.
My eyes widened. "N-Nani (What)?"
She sighed quietly. "They told us that… Well, it seems that your parents were in a car crash,"
I couldn't breathe properly. "T-They're okay, right?"
She didn't answer.
"Are they?!" I said a bit louder.
"Listen, I could drive you to the hospital, so that you could see them," She offered.
I grimaced. "O-Okay,"
"I'll just give this slip to your teacher and we'll go," She said.
She went inside and gave the paper to my teacher.
We left the school without a word.
-x-x-x-x-
We arrived at the hospital and I quickly went inside with Miss. Takeshi.
Miss. Takeshi asked for the room number and I ran there as fast as I could.
I reached the room with wide eyes.
I walked to my parents beds.
Beep… Beep… Beep…
The machines were hooked onto my mother and father.
My eyes slowly trailed to their faces.
I gasped.
They were covered in bruises. My mom's face had a large cut on her cheek and bandages around her forehead and my dad had bandages around his head and a slit under his left eye.
I sat down on a chair near them and placed my hands on my cheeks.
"This can't be happening… Just because I said… That I wanted them to… No…" I muttered to myself.
Miss. Takeshi approached the room and looked at me with a saddened face. "I'm very sorry, Akemi-san,"
I shook my head. "I-It's okay. You can go back to the school now,"
"Are you sure? I could stay here if you wa--"
"Just go,"
She pressed her lips together. "Okay. Bye,"
I nodded, not looking at her.
I looked up and she was gone.
I looked back at my parents.
"Gomen (Sorry)… Okaa-san (Mother)… Otou-san (Father)… I didn't mean to… I'm really sorry," I said quietly.
Then, the doctor came in and looked at me. "I'm guessing you're Touta Akemi-san, correct?"
I nodded.
He sighed. "I'm very sorry,"
"Can you tell me what exactly happened?" I asked.
The doctor looked at his clipboard and papers. "Well, your parents were hit by another car, but the thing is, that car did a hit and run. They didn't get too far. They seemed to lose control of the car and crashed a few kilometers away,"
"Are my parents going to be okay?" I asked.
He stayed silent.
"Are they?" I asked again.
"Your parents have received serious injuries, Akemi-san. We have tried to fix this problem but…" He trailed off.
"So they're going to die," I looked at the floor.
He sighed and rested his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, Akemi-san,"
I could feel the back of my eyes burning. "If its okay, I'd like to stay here the night,"
He nodded. "I'll have a nurse get you a blanket and food,"
He left the room and I bent down and held my mothers hand.
A solitary tear slid down from my cheek and fell onto her hand.
-x-x-x-x-
I woke up the next day in the hospital, snuggled against a nearby couch.
My eyes were hurting and were red.
I had cried for most of the night.
I noticed something white sticking out of my dad's pocket. I walked over to it and took it out.
It was a small piece of paper. I read it and my eyes widened.
Akemi-chan,
Your mother and I may be away for a while. We're off to see someone. Actually, we were going to tell you earlier but…
You have a brother.
We went off to visit him. He's a part of the Tokyo Police Force. He's not a cop, more like a detective. He's about 21 now. We're sorry that we didn't tell you earlier. We knew about your brother's job and if he got hurt, we didn't want you to get upset. If you want, you may see him at the Tokyo Police Force Building. His name is Touta.
From,
- Father.
I stood there for a few second and read the note over and over again.
"I… have a brother?"
I glanced at my parents and decided to meet this brother of mine.
I exited the hospital and took a bus home.
I packed up my stuff - Wallet, Bag of some spare clothes, Food etc. - and took a taxi to the Tokyo Police Force Building.
I went inside and asked for a Touta Matsuda.
"He's on the 22nd Floor, in the meeting room," The man at the reception desk said.
"Arigatou (Thank You)," I said.
I took the lift and soon reached the meeting room on the 22nd floor.
I opened the door slowly and peeked inside.
It was a large room. Heaps of desks and computers… but only around six people were inside.
I opened the door fully and had caught the attention of the six men.
"Who are you?" A man probably around in his early twenties said. He had black hair and dark brown eyes. He looked a bit like me.
"A-Anou… Is there by any chance a… Matsuda Touta here?" I asked.
His eyes widened. "Why? Is there something you need from him?"
"It's just that… Could you tell him that Touta Akemi came to see him?" I quietly said.
"Akemi…?" He said.
I nodded.
He ran up to me and I backed away a little.
He held me by my shoulders and studied me.
"W-What are you doing?" I stuttered.
"You're Matsuda Akemi?" He asked.
"H-Hai," I said.
He let go of me and sighed. "I'm… Matsuda Touta. Nice to finally meet you, Akemi-imotou (Little sister),"
"You knew about me?" I asked quietly.
He gave me a warm smile. "Un (Yeah). Otou-san and Okaa-san told me about you. How're they doing?"
My eyes widened. "You don't know?"
His face became serious. "Why? What happened?"
"I'm not sure how to say this…" I sighed.
I paused.
"Mom and Dad were… in a car accident,"
His eyes widened. "What? How?"
"The doctor said that another car did a hit and run. That other car lost control and crashed," I explained softly.
"Are mom and dad okay?" He asked.
"They're in the hospital. If you want… you can see them," I answered.
Touta looked at the five other men in the room.
"Yagami-taichou (Chief Yagami), can I… see them?" He said, asking the man with glasses and dark gray-ish hair.
The man sighed and nodded. "Be quick. We need you on this case,"
Touta nodded. "I'll be back,"
He took hold of my arm and we exited the building.
"Uhh, let's take the car, yeah?" Touta smiled.
I nodded.
-x-x-x-x-
We soon reached the hospital and we quickly went to mom and dad's room.
Touta's eyes widened and ran to their beds. "Okaa-san? Otou-san?! Please be okay… Please…"
He kneeled next to dad's bed and I saw tears brimming in his eyes.
I slowly walked over to him and gently rubbed his back. "I-Its okay, Touta…oniichan,"
He gave me a small smile. "Otou-san and Okaa-san were really good parents… I'm just sad that I didn't get to say that I loved them before this incident,"
I sat on the foot of father's bed.
"I didn't get a chance to say that either… I had a fight with them two nights ago," I sighed.
"Gomen," He mumbled.
I smiled. "It's okay… Ne (Hey), do you think otou-san and okaa-san are happy now that we met each other?"
"I think they are… I've been waiting for this day, Akemi. Mother and Father have told me lots about you. I just didn't see why they didn't tell you earlier," Touta said.
"I guess can be the rebellious type at times," I smiled. "If I found about you before, I would've wanted to go after you and meet you,"
He smiled a bit. "Funny, Mother and Father said the same thing,"
He took a seat next to me on the bed.
We stayed silent after a while.
Then I spoke, "What were you doing inside that room?"
"Hm?" He said.
"You know, when I found you? You were in that room with those other men," I repeated.
"Oh! We were talking about a case we're working on," He replied.
"Wow, what's the case about?" I asked.
He paused. "We're investigating… the Kira case,"
"Kira?" I echoed. "That's the person who kills criminals, right? The one who gives those heart attacks?"
"Hai," He said. "We want to catch him,"
"Isn't that a little dangerous?" I asked. "For all I know, you could die on this case,"
"Well… I'm taking that risk," Touta replied. "Onto another subject, I heard that you're one of the top students in your high school,"
I nodded. "Hai, I'm the second top student. Right next to Yagami Light,"
"Yagami Light? He's the chief's son, isn't he?"
I shrugged. "I'm not sure myself; I haven't talked to him for a long time,"
"You should get to know him, it could be nice to know the chief's son," He smiled.
"The chief… is he that man with the dark hair and the glasses?" I asked.
"Hai, He's a good chief," He answered.
"So… where have you been living all this time?"
"I live in an apartment by myself,"
"I see… Uhm… Oniichan… Would be okay if we kind of… maybe…"
"Live together?"
"Hai,"
"I don't see why not. Do you want me to live in your house, or do you want to live in my apartment?"
"If it's okay, you could stay in my house,"
"That would be great,"
-x-x-x-x-
It had been a couple of days, and Touta had fully moved into the house.
Only a few people knew about the car accident, and my brother.
There was sympathy and happiness from others.
I guess I can't blame them.
I thought about what Touta said about Yagami.
"You should get to know him; it could be nice to know the chief's son,"
I then spotted Yagami himself in the hallway.
"Yagami!" I called out.
He turned around. "Akemi?"
I ran over to him and smiled. "I uh, haven't talked to you much lately, huh?"
Light said, "It's been too long, Akemi,"
