Thinking of you, where ever you are.

Unknown Pov

It's dark and lonely.

I looked at the ceiling and closed my eyes. It all happened so fast... a scream, a call, and pain. I closed my eyes hoping to see anything that will help me. But my visions are not on my side. I began to think that all forces of life has turned their backs on me... and Darkness, filled with pain, sadness and anger has taken me in like a kind mother taking in a hungry, lonely, beaten up child.

Two days earlier

Rika's Pov

"Oh hello Rika! Are you here to help again?" A man with tan skin and black hair smiled. His face was young but still wrinkled a little with age.

I smiled and chuckled. "You should know that since the first week of summer. I will be here for the first half of the week." I said.

"Of course, the children have become a handful so many times I guess I forgot. But still I must thank you. Ever since you finished college you have been helping around town." He said.

I picked up a girl who was tugging at my jacket. "I will do all I can to cause happiness and joy in the world." I said and walked off to meet all the children in the orphanage.

"Rika! What will we do today?" The girl in my arms asked.

Other children became quiet, eager to hear my decision.

I thought. "Well it is a sunny day, so let's go to the fields and play there." I said.

The children cheered in agreement and ran to get ready.

The man appeared and chuckled. "A day in the field? I fear there's going to be a lot of trouble."

I turned to him and shook my head. "I'll see about that Mr. Tashi." I said and heard a shout.

"HELLO! IS ANYONE HERE?" Hikari's voice yelled though out the worn out house.

"Kari, please use inside voices." I said as she skipped into the house. "And please do not skip. You may get-"

CRASH!

"-hurt..." I sighed as Hikari tripped over the coffee table and fell face first to the green worn out carpet.

"Ouch..." She muttered and I helped her up.

I turned to Mr. Tashi and smiled. "Perhaps you should get some rest." I said.

"Oh no, I cannot leave the young ones to two innocent ladies. I maybe near my 50s but I'm alive as a rampaging horse!" He laughed and went to get his coat.

Hikari walked up to me and looked at me closely.

I raised a brow and frowned. "What?" I asked.

"Are you even thinking about him?" She asked.

I looked away and closed my eyes. "It's been 8 years since we last saw each other in person, and it's been a year since we seen each other in our dreams. Yes, I'm thinking about him, but I don't know if he's thinking about me." I said.

"It's not like him to forget about friend, let alone his girlfriend." Hikari said.

I sighed and looked out the window but my leg was pulled. I looked down to see Mina, the young girl who I first met the first time I came here.

"Are ya talkin abou Key Masta?" She asked.

"Yes, Mina," I said and picked her up. "... How long have you been there?" I asked.

"Sin Mizz 'Ikari talk ed." She said.

I smiled and saw the other children come out begging to leave the house and into the fields. "Was anybody with you?" I asked.

She shook her head furiously and smiled. "NOPE!"

I poked her on the nose softly and set her down.

"Come on, let's go to the fields." I said.

They cheered and began to run out the door.

"H-hey! Wait! Let Rika and Hikari be in front!" Mr. Tashi said and ran out the door as well.

Hikari and I smiled at each other and walked out with Mina.
