~Prologue~
"I'm sorry but… I can't do anything for your son." A very beautiful man with long pink hair said. Despite the fact that he was a doctor, the man was suffering with the terrible news he had to say to the parents of the young man lying on the bed next to them.
"What are you talking about? You said you could help him, you said he would survive! Why did you lie to us? He… My Masato, my dear Masato is so young…" A middle aged woman with short blue hair said, thick drops of salty water covering all her face; her dark blue eyes completely red due to her crying. She was suffering as she had never suffered before, anyone who looked at her; anyone who heard her desperate tone would know that she was practically dying with so much pain. Dying just like her son beside her.
The beautiful young man lying on the bed of a clinic room had bright blue hair, pale skin and was at the age of 16. Someone as young, as beautiful and important to society as Hijirikawa Masato didn't deserve such a rough and unfortunate destiny. Since he was a child Masato had been a very pleasant person. He had always been very talented with anything that his father proposed to him; especially in calligraphy and playing the piano, he had always been very gentle and peaceful to others; whenever he could he put others above him. Then why did someone like him, so serene, so kind have to end like this? He had so many things left to do… He had to finish his schooling and then go to college; he had to take his father's place in Hijirikawa family; he had to marry a woman and have children to take over for him in the future. However despite all this, he had to live. He deserved to live much more than 16 years.
"Please, Ringo-sensei, help my Masato… Help him, I beg you!" Masato's mother, her name Hijirikawa Naoko, said holding tightly onto the beautiful man.
"N-Naoko-san I… It's too late, he's lost too much blood and his body is completely fractured… I'm so sorry." Ringo said avoiding the woman's tear-filled eyes. He could see; more than just see he could sense these parents' pain. A lot of teenagers, much younger than Masato, had already died there in his clinic; however he had never felt such great pain like he was feeling now. Thankfully he would not die with this kind of pain. However he didn't like to feel like this. He knew he shouldn't do it, it was breaking all the rules of his society; nevertheless this time he really felt that he had to; he should help this teen. Whenever he looked at him, lying down on that simple bed; getting more and more pale with every passing second, something inside him screamed to not let this young man die. So he simply could not avoid his inner voice, since he had grown up he had learned to not avoid all the signs life provided him; and this time right here and now with Hijirikawa Masato, life was providing him a new and extremely important sign.
"Sensei, how much time does Masato-kun have left?" For the first time Masato's father spoke coldly, however right now Ringo knew that the man was also suffering; probably much more than his wife. At first sight the man seemed to be someone rude and cold, yet Ringo believed that was just a mask to protect his family. Although he also believed that Masato's father didn't know how to show others his kind feelings.
Ringo closed his blue eyes and carefully said, "One hour… or less." With Ringo's answer Masato's mother hugged her son tightly, crying with all her heart. Although his father hadn't cried, the pink haired man knew his heart was screaming with all the intense pain he was feeling. Losing a son was the most painful thing ever, and Tsukimiya Ringo had already verified it countless times. More times than anyone could suspect.
"I shouldn't be saying this, it's a very important secret that I should never reveal to anyone, but for some unknown reason I feel that for Masato-kun, I have to do the impossible to prevent his death." Ringo said looking at the blue haired teen who had only a few more minutes left of life.
"W-What do you mean by that?" Naoko asked finally facing the young doctor before her. She was feeling terribly sad, hurt; she even believed that she would die with her son due to this strong and unbearable pain, however somehow Ringo's words had provide her some hope. She couldn't understand why, yet the true and clear tone he had used while talking gave her a new way to believe in her son's life.
"What I'm saying is… do you want your son to live? Do you wish to stop destiny this way?" The pink haired man asked looking at both Masato's parents convicted in his own words and decisions.
"O-Of course we want our son alive! We love him above all; if there is someone who should live, it's him. Masato is our treasure, so for him we would change any destiny on this earth." The woman assured Ringo between sobs.
"And you Hijirikawa Masaomi-san, what do you have to say about my questions?" Ringo asked looking at the man only. Despite the fact that he knew how the man felt right now, he wanted to hear it from his mouth, Somehow he really needed his words to proceed with his decisions.
"Yes, Masato-kun is needed in the family, so I want him alive." Masaomi said not facing the pink haired man, who was completely surprised at the sudden answer.
"M-Masaomi, it can't be true, even in a situation like this you are only thinking about our family's name? How can that be possible? You can't be so cold, so heartless." Naoko said, shocked at her husband's cold words.
"Someone has to think about our family's future and I don't think you will be able to do it, Naoko. Let's just face the obvious please. Mai is too young and besides she is a girl so our family is entirely in Masato's hands." The man said once more, shocking her wife and the young doctor in the room. The woman was already prepared to say something, however Ringo smiled softly and inevitably interrupting Naoko said, "Masaomi-san, you have to learn how to express your true emotions with others. Do you know that your words hurt them in the most painful ways; especially the ones who are extremely important to you. I know how you truly feel, so I would like to hear through your own words your feelings. Can you please tell me? Otherwise your son will die in a few minutes because of your stubbornness."
"What… Why are you saying that? I already told you, I want my son alive, our family needs him."
"Masaomi-san," Ringo started, his soft smile and gentle tone exchanged by a serious expression and voice, "I don't like to repeat myself too much, so let's end this quickly because I really feel that I cannot let your son die. So please tell me how you truly feel, or I will not be able to continue with this."
"I already…"
"The truth Masaomi-san, or your son will simply die there."
The rough man clenched his fists and teeth, he was containing his emotions with all his might; he just didn't want to show them to others. He had to be the strongest one always. However thinking that his own son was dying made him re-think his own answers again; his own true feelings.
"P-Please… I don't want him to die. Please sensei, save my Masato-kun… Save my son." Masaomi finally said, and Ringo believed he saw tears gathering in his light blue eyes. Feeling relieved the pink haired man approached the other man, who was now crying, not as much as his wife though, and put both his hands on Masaomi's shoulders gently; his smile was back one more time.
"Thank you, Masaomi-san. I'm really thankful because now I can finally save your son."
"Can you? Can you really save him, doctor?" The man asked looking incredulously at Ringo. The woman quickly stood up and turned the man to her, hugging him tightly as if he was a god.
"It's okay, Naoko-san; I'm telling you the truth this time. I really can save your son. I really have to after all. However…" Ringo said, relieving the woman's pain a bit, yet with his last word he had made her and her husband feel anxious and nervous; fearing the future that right now seemed to be so dark for them.
"However…?" Masaomi asked with his hands on his heart, as if it could fall on the floor and break in countless pieces.
"I will let him survive, however you will not be able to see him for three long years." Ringo finally said, breaking the terrible moment of anxiety and fear.
"W-What do you mean sensei? Why is that? Please tell us!" Naoko begged him, shaking him fiercely, feeling desperate again.
"This is the last day you will see your son. He will survive because I will let him, however, in exchange for that neither you nor anyone else, except me and a few other people, will be able to see him again for three years." Both, the man and the woman, could only look at him in disbelief. Why was the young man saying that? They didn't know it, yet somehow they also didn't fear him. They believed in him; in his words.
"Then I will ask you again… Do you really want to change your son's destiny right now?" Ringo asked them one more time, looking at them intensely as if his eyes were analyzing and giving something.
"Y-Yes, we want him to live. No matter how many time we will have to wait to see him again, we want him alive." Naoko said determined with her own words, looking at his precious son.
"Very well Naoko-san, Masaomi-san, I will help you. I will let him survive. Of course you're confused and asking yourselves how will I do that? To me it is possible, I'm not normal after all." Ringo said, the smile continued to expose his firm thin lips.
"What do you mean, Ringo-sensei?" The woman asked, however everything she received from the young doctor was the gentle and true smile on his lips.
"Masato-kun, can you hear me?" Ringo asked the young man lying on the bed with machines around him; connected to his slender, fractured body. The only sound that could be heard in the room now was the beep of Masato's weak heartbeat through one of the machines. However, the young blue haired man opened his eyes with some difficulty, revealing their beautiful intense dark blue color, almost without any glow of life. His breathing was heavy and slow, even more so with every passing fraction of a second. It hurt looking at him, Ringo believed that Masato had only a mere 10 or 15 minutes of life left, which was not a good sign to the pink haired man; he had to be faster in his actions otherwise the young man would simply die and he could not let that happen so easily.
"Masato-kun, if you opened your eyes then I know that you can hear me. We will have to be quick with this or everything will be in vain. Please listen to me carefully, I will ask you a few things and even if it is painful I want… No, I need you to answer me. Do you think you can do it?" Ringo asked this last question on purpose to know if in fact he could hear the teen's voice. It was necessary for him.
"I… can… do… it." Masato answered with difficulty.
"Thank God he can speak," The pink haired man thought relieved.
"Then Masato-kun, let's continue. Can you remember anything that happened to you?" Ringo asked.
"I… d-don't." Masato answered coughing and almost without breath.
"I see. Then listen to me, you had a car accident and right now you're dying Masato-kun. I believe that you have less than 10 minutes, so I will be quick. Masato-kun, do you want to live?" Ringo asked, without hesitation. He felt he had to go on fast or it would be too late for the poor boy.
"I… do." Masato answered also without hesitation, his eyes now closed as if he was absorbing Ringo's words and trying that way to remember something.
"I can help you to live, Masato-kun, can you trust me?" Ringo asked and Masato opened his eyes once more as fast as he could, and faced the other man sitting beside his bed. His intense blue eyes had won a new glow; a new hope in that man's words.
"How… can… you… do… that?" Masato asked.
"I'm a special human being." Ringo simply answered not clarifying Masato's doubts, but only deepening them even more.
"I… don't… understand." The blue haired teen revealed what Ringo already knew very well.
"A few minutes ago I asked your parents if they wanted to change your unfortunate destiny and they answered with the obvious, after all they love you Masato-kun. So now it's your turn to answer me… Do you believe that you have the strength to change your destiny?" Ringo inquired him, looking him in the eyes studying Masato as much as he could. However he already knew how he felt.
"I… I… I do." Masato simply answered facing the young doctor.
"Even if you're determined, you fear my words and actions, isn't that right, Masato-kun?" The young man widened his eyes for a split second and remained quiet, yet the pink haired doctor continued this time smiling gently to give him some comfort "It's okay to fear, I also fear many things and people. Anyway we can't wait more time, I know how much you want to live so I will just continue with this. Masato-kun I believe in you, that's why I will take the risk and go on with this because I feel that you're special."
"I'm… special…" Masato repeated as if he didn't believe in those words.
"Yes you are. Then look at me Masato-kun, listen to my words carefully and repeat after me. Can you do it?" Ringo asked leaning his face to Masato's, their eyes intensely focused in one another's, Ringo's index finger was over Masato's lips, which were now almost purple now due to his low body temperature.
"Y-Yes…" Masato said, trembling.
"Then repeat after me, Masato-kun… I swear with all my heart, with all my being, with all my soul to live and save this secret until the end. No matter what happens in the future, I swear to not break my promise." Ringo said and Masato, with much more difficulty, repeated it; his dark blue eyes were already closing on their own, his breath was weaker than before just like his faint heartbeat and his body had stopped trembling. Ringo knew that Masato had only a few more seconds of life, yet he didn't seem to be alarmed. Instead the pink haired man seemed to be waiting for his death. In fact he didn't have to wait too long, five more seconds were enough for Masato to die. Without any more waiting, the young doctor closed his light blue eyes and whispered in Masato's ear...
"Welcome to my abnormal world, Masato-kun."
