All I Need

Prolouge


I stare into the darkness that is the night sky, though I can hardly see the white dots that are the stars, mainly because of the skyscrapers and such. It's New Years Eve and my friend picked me up to celebrate with her, we're headed out to a movie. Though I feel... Uncomfortable. I told Kanazukai this, and she said she felt the same. Some many people went out, and got drunk. I've always been afraid of riding in cars, the reason is drunk driving. It terrifies me. I look up, snapped out of my trance, at a red light. Well at least we have a very low chance of getting hit here. Kanazukai drops her phone on the floorboard, and reaches for it. I look up, and notice a truck speeding in our direction.

"KANAZUKAI!"

She jerks her head upward, possibly keeping herself from breaking her neck.


Darkness. More darkness. As if I needed more of it. After at least a week of nothing but thoughts, a boy accidentally walked into my room instead of the one he was visiting. I was rude, to say the least, but he seemed nice. Apparently he knew Kanazukai... who died at least a week or two ago. Hell, I don't know. He told me his name, Katakana. Odd name.

I missed Kanazukai's funeral. My friends told me that there was a boy who played a song there, said he was amazing. Well, maybe when Kanazukai reincarnates, I'll have the luck to maybe talk to her, but she may become a kitten, or maybe a bonsai. Might even be a pigeon.

Well, might as well pit thought into my "luck." Luckily, only my leg was severed off of my body, so that's nice. Luckily, I have some sort of brittle bone disease, wonderful. Luckily, I had a heart attack in my sleep, just fucking dandy! Luckily, I have a nice, promising concussion. I thought asthma was bad! Now I have a bone disease, cariaz arthmia... I think that's what they called it, and a concussion! Now I have a chance of falling apart in my sleep, having a stroke in my sleep, and having a heart attack in my sleep! Just fucking wonderful! And, to top it all off, I need prosthetic for my right "leg"!

I've not been able to go asleep either, hopefully stress is causing it. If it's insomnia, I'm going to be mad. Very, very mad.

Might as well check the clock... 5:56 in the morning... Maybe I can squeeze in an hour or two of sleep...


I was wrong. It's ten past noon, so I should be getting lunch in a minute or two... God I hate this place..

There's a knock on the door, and a masculine voice says I have visitors.

"Let them in!" I shout to the nurse.

He opens the door.. wait that's not a nurse... Very suspicious..

Well, my visitors are my cousin Emi, my aunt, my dad, and my little brother.

"Hey, Hitomi!"

"Hi, Emi."

She looks at my missing leg, then smiles, "Maybe you might be as fast as me."

I sigh, "Maybe."

Her smile grows wider, "I've got a hunch you might be transferring over to Yamaku!"

...

God help me.

Well, I should probably greet the little one, shouldn't I?

"Satoru! Kiddo, c'mere!"

The four year old boy jumps up onto the bed, and gives me a hug, "Hito-chan!"

I've always hated that nickname to be truthful.

I squeeze the brown haired bullet of a child, then politely ask him to stop squeezing me to death.

He nods, and gets off the bed. Being the hyper maniac he is, he begins to dash around the room. Back and forth. Back and forth.

My dad puts his hand on his forehead to stop him, but his legs don't stop moving. The kid's one of the few things that make me laugh. Even now, I can barely contain it, so I decide to just let it out.

Next, my doctor walks in, carrying what looks to be a prosthetic. He says he's going to take my bandages off, then he'll show me how to put the thing on.


Well that seems simple, guess I don't have to worry about putting it on. Now for the fun part, walking.

He helps me stand up, and so does Emi. I feel... so great! I'm on my fee- er, foot again! Guess I'm on my own for a bit, since they both let me go. Well... it's a bit heavier than I expected.. Explaining why I'm on the ground.

I feel a surge of fear, thinking I might've just broke something due to the pain in my wrist. God, they weren't lying when they said brittle. Dad and Emi help me up, and get me back over to the bed. I sit down, and try again due to my stubbornness. This time I lift my leg high enough so I can step forward, which I do. Then my real leg goes forward, then the fake. I can walk! It's a miracle!

I notice the doctor writing on his clipboard, then addresses me, "Miss Yamazaki, you're discharged as of tomorrow. You will be attending a new school not far to the south, Ya-"

"Yamaku Academy, a school for the physically disabled, there I will be safe if something happens. 24-hour nursing staff, yeah, yeah. I know."

The doctor gives me a dirty look, then looks back to his papers, "Well, yes. I'm sure Miss Ibarazaki can help if you can't find your way around the school."

Emi gives an obnoxious grin, then turns to me, "My hunch was right! Looks like we're going to school together!"

...

God why?
