The continuous beeping slowly reached my ears as if the noise was being poured into my eardrums like liquid, I let out a soft groan of annoyance and tried to cover my ears with my pillow. My arms throbbed dully, the pain seeping in as I slowly got my senses back. My fingers twitched ever-so-slightly but a sharp pain would shoot through my arm with every minuscule move I made. An unfamiliar voice spoke in another language and from the sound of it, I could tell they were sitting close to me on my right. I struggled to open my heavy eyelids,
"She's waking up!" I finally managed to open it just slightly, I squinted to make out the face in front of me through the blur. I tried to sit up to no avail, my body hadn't gotten its feeling back. The bed then rose up enough for me to be upright.
"Kyoko! You're okay!" My eyebrows furrowed in confusion as I managed to blink away the haze that clouded my vision, I was face-to-face with a red haired lady. Relief shining in her watery golden eyes,
'Kyoko?' I frowned at the sound of the foreign name, it didn't sound right.
She suddenly engulfed me in a tight hug, sobbing. I immediately pushed her away and inched towards the corner, the woman's expression immediately fell and hurt became evident in her features.
"Kyoko?" A voice questioned, I looked up to see dark orbs looking at me. Dressed in a sharp blue suit, his dark and spikey hair was slicked back, a pair of glasses was hanging from his breast pocket. He reminded me of a certain defense attorney.
"W-who are you people?" I questioned, moving back even more when the woman reached out.
"Kyoko, what's wrong? Why are speaking English all the sudden? Trying to act smart after all that happened?" Another voice joins in and this time I can understand them, turning towards the person. Dirty yellow eyes peer back as his mouth curl down in disdain before reverting back to a poker face,
"I-I…who is this Kyoko? What's going on? What are you saying?" I asked, his straight expression shifted slightly.
"Is this some kind of joke?" His eyebrows furrowed in annoyance as he stared at me, I shook my head.
"She must have hit her head too hard." The man in the suit commented, I turned towards him with a surprised look on my face. I was utterly confused at this point, hit my head?
I clutched my head as I tried to wrap my head around what was happening, only pain shot through.
"Kyoko!" That darn name again, I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed, thrashing away the hand that was touching me.
"Excuse me but I will have to ask you to leave, you are distressing my patient. I will call you back after I ask her a few questions." A lady in a lab coat stepped in, her expression firm. The woman with bright hair looked hesitant to leave but the man in the suit grabbed her hand and squeezed it with a reassuring look, they left the room along with the boy with chocolate brown hair.
"Are you alright?" She turned towards me with a gentle smile, I flinched away when she took a step towards me.
"I won't say it again. Who are you people?" I asked, my voice wavering. I felt so lost and it wasn't a good feeling, I had gone passed the stage of feeling left out ages ago and to be thrown back to it felt new, in a bad way.
"I'm sorry, I must have scared you. My name is Dr. Flora." She introduced herself, changing her language so I understood her.
"Now, I have some questions I'd like you to answer me. I want you to be as precise and as honest as possible when you answer." She said as she held up the clipboard she had in hand, she took the pen ledged on her left ear and readied herself to write down what was going to come out of my mouth.
"What's your name?"
"Maya Evergreen" I replied immediately without a hint of doubt, she nodded and jot it down.
"Age?"
"I just turned 24 yesterday." Another nod accompanied by the sound of her scribbles,
"Do you know what date it is today?"
"20th June, 2017." She hummed,
"Do you know how you got here?"
"Did I roll off the couch and bump my head? Because I swear I was in my best friend's home, taking a nap with her after an all-nighter." I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to think back.
"Do you know where you are?" That question caught me off guard, I pursed my lips in thought.
"A hospital in London?" I drawled out slowly, hesitating like a kid who was caught red-handed of doing something bad. She nodded with a grave expression and scribbled it down, I was extremely uncertain. With each question I was answering, I felt my memories hazy and clash with someone else's.
The doctor motioned the three others in, I stiffened up slightly. She whispered something to them and immediately their faces became dark,
"It seems that you have developed false memory syndrome and amnesia when you bumped your head, Miss Suzuki." Dr. Flora said, turning her copper eyes towards me with a grim expression.
"Huh?" False memory syndrome? Amnesia? What was she talking about? My memory might be a little hazy but I know what I said was the truth.
"Do you recognize anyone in this room?" She questioned, gesturing towards the three that stood in the room. I scanned each of them from head to toe before shaking my head slowly,
"Kyoko-"
"Why do you keep calling me that?!" I yelled, feeling agitated whenever I heard that name. My mother didn't name me that!
I AM MAYA EVERGREEN! THAT WAS THE NAME MY REAL MOTHER GAVE ME!
"Suzuki Kyoko, that's your name. You were born in Tokyo and we lived there until we moved to Namimori 5 months ago." The man in the suit placed his hands on my shoulders, squeezing them to reassure me. His dark orbs staring directly into mine, desperation faintly lacing his tone. I stared back before I looked down at my hands, red locks coming in view.
'Suzu..ki Kyoko…' I blinked owlishly as my brain slowly processed,
'Na..mi…mo..ri' I let out a scream as I clutched my pounding head, the whole world around me was spinning.
"T-Tsuna!" A voice yelled, the heart monitor beeping frantically, I realized it was my voice. I shook my head rapidly, trying to clear the memories that were flowing into my head like a broken dam.
"STOP!" I screamed before my vision blurred and slowly faded away, the voices muffling before becoming muted.
