Wandering back home, I directly headed to the bathroom. Frightened and crying, I felt inferior. It's selfish, isn't it? Trying to protect and save the person that you love. Why is it that he's so persistent into getting our creator to live with us? He's abusive, he's cruel and coldhearted.
Is he blind? Did he not remember the fights I had with our creator? I wrapped a bandage around my wrist, it stung and hurt.
After occupying myself in the bathroom (I sat in the tub for a whole hour, eying the water running out the faucet and into the drain), I walked upstairs. Kelly chirped at me, greeting me. I locked the door behind me, holding her.
"Hey baby, daddy isn't feeling so good. He's going to bed early, okay?" I laid on my bed, covering my eyes with my hand. She hopped around on the bed and onto my belly, resting herself.
I woke up a little past evening, lifting Kelly and resting her sleepy self on the pillow. I looked under my bed, the suitcase was still there which kept Kaito's blue scarf. Never will I return it to him. From in my closet, I pulled out a scarf, somewhat yellow, somewhat orange, with stripes of bright yellow and a bit of a reddish brown.
It was the scarf Meiko and Kaito gave to me. I left my bedroom and hopped down the steps, finding Kaito sitting on the couch. I kissed the top of his head, wrapping the scarf around his neck. "It's still a little long for me, but I'm sure it'll fit you fine."
His blue eyes stared into me, parting his lips, I ran up the stairs, tripping halfway. I didn't want to talk to him. So I didn't stay around him for three days straight. I kept my distance.
On the fourth day, I kissed him and I allowed him to touch me. He touched my legs and my sides. Kaito's hand trailed down from my stomach, placing it above my pelvis.
This is an escape from reality, to make this world smaller, only the two of us.
"Don't call me beautiful, Kaito." He raised his brows at me, caressing my cheek. "Alright, Len."
But you never called me beautiful again, that isn't what I asked for.
The next day, Rin had collapsed in the front yard while gardening with Meiko. Luka tried her best to repair my sister, but she simply couldn't. Kaito suggested taking it to our creator.
I refused. Meiko took Rinny to Yowane Haku and Honne Dell. We all followed her along, and I did take Kelly with me.
It felt like a kick in the stomach, I went outside of the large building. I didn't want to see Rinny in the state she was in. She wouldn't wake up, she'd only mumble in her coma. Even if she appeared to be awake.
Kelly sang to me, chirping as loud as she could. When she began babbling random phrases, Kaito sat next to me on the grass. "Hello baby, your papa is going to stay with you and daddy."
She chirped once, hopping onto Kaito's lap.
For a whole week, I visited my sister. By next week, we couldn't visit her anymore. On one day, Kaito began yelling at me. I was lucky enough Kelly was outside with Meiko and Luka. I would never want her to hear us yelling. She may be "only a bird," but she's my little girl. I treated her like a daughter. Our daughter.
