Escape of Memories.
-P.O.V. Ritsu-
I walk down the hallway of the hospital annoyed but not letting it show.
I had been molded to perfectly for to long to do so.
The news I had heard not fifteen minutes running through my head.
She was dead.
Chieko was dead.
She and the innocent she had abandoned 7 Moons for had died in the hospital.
They had a brat that had survived.
He was 11.
And I had to take him in because the innocent had no relative able or willing to do so.
Fate only knows Chieko didn't.
She had only had us.
So know the brat was my problem.
The nurse opens the door to a room looking relieved. The person over the phone had said something about the brat being here for three days.
I stop in the doorway and shake my head.
Standing there complaining to his dead parents that they needed to get up so they could go home was a little boy version of the girl I had met so long ago.
"They're dead. They can't take you home." I say and large blue eyes look at me startled.
"Who are you?" He asks, "Why can't they bring me home."
Idiot child. Is it really that hard to comprehend?
I ignore his second question due to its stupidity and the fact I don't like repeating myself. My mouth going on autopilot to spout the lie that had become true.
"Manami Ritsu." I say and turn to leave. The brat follows. I really don't know why. I never told him to.
I feel a tiny hand take mine…
And yank mine out of the brat's hold.
I no longer lead kids to beautiful sights on cliffs over looking old cemeteries.
For a second I hate her.
If Chieko hadn't come maybe I would be.
If Chieko hadn't left maybe I would still be the HEARTLESS Sentoko.
But there was no use in the emotion.
What had happened had. There was no way to change that.
Memories play in my head of the past.
Memories better left buried.
But all the same they refuse to do so.
And once one has escaped.
So do the rest.
