This is from the current Iori's point of view about a few years ago when he finds out about his dad dying. I don't know if he talks about it in an episode or whatever, but all I know is this is how I think he'd be...
Never Be The Same
By Marie. It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your Iori wanna-be is?
Like I told you last night, I DON'T KNOW!
My mother picked up the phone. I was quietly playing with my toy truck dad had gave my for my fifth birthday, last year. It was red and said "Iori" on it. He said it was, "just like giving you my heart!" and I keep it even now. Mom was doing to laundry like always when the phone rang. I could her her from my room.
"Uh-huh... oh my... I don't believe it..." her voice made me stop playing with the truck. I could tell whatever it was it was bad, that's the voice she used when Grandma died. She opened the door to my room with tears running down her face. "Iori! Get your coat on, daddy's in the hospital!" she cried, taking my coat from the hook that also had my name on it, also given to by my daddy.
She put my blue nike jacket on and grabbed me hand. She looked at me and saw I was crying too, but she had no time to worry, she ran out the apartment door, not locking it behind her and into the parking lot. She made sure I was okay in the backseat and jumped into our Baby blue Ford.
I ride seemed like forever and a day, and i wish it had, because then dad might be alive for that forever and a day... She stopped in front of the hospital and ran in, with me running after her. We ran upstairs and mom peeked in a room I was too short to see. She entered, and a nurse with a white dress took me away from there.
I was taken to a daycare centre of sorts. I spent the whole time thinking about daddy, wondering if he had gone to that place where grandma went. I think it's call heaven. Daddy told me when The Lord asks you to come with Him, He takes you to heaven... a place where you can be at peace with the world and see ones you've already lost. l wondered if daddy see grandma when He comes to get him? I didn't want to lose daddy then, but now I'm just happy he finally got to be happy.
Daddy worked as a police man. I found out later he was shot in the head five times and had no chance of surviving. But Mom told me he's always alive in our hearts, and I have his heart in my truck, so I'd never throw that away. Most people will never be the same once a person close to them, who ever that is. Although I know daddy's happy, I wish he could've stayed here and become happy with us. I'll never understand why he had to leave, but I'll try to live out his live anyway. People do say they'll never be the same once you've lost something. And I'm no exception. I've lost my father, the one I depended on the most. And no one can ever replace him, and I'm glad mom hasn't tried.
Now, I think of Jou and Miyako as my big brother and sister. They're always trying to help me out, and I love them with all my heart for that. But I love my dad more, and one day I'm going to see him again, and we can all be happy, together.
Wai! Tell me you cried ^_^; This is why I love Iori... blah.. I went on and on at the end... poo...
