Through his eyes: Chapter 2

The girl just stared at me, and I panicked a little inside. Oh no! What if I hurt her? Flashed through my mind.

She must have seen my face betray my thoughts, and she lifted her hands. "I'm fine! I dodged the bits of wood!"

Relief coursed through me, and then….confusion? I didn't know why. When I was about to say something, a brief memory flashed behind my eyes. I was in a meeting room, and everyone acted as if they couldn't see me.

"Y..You can s-see me?" I stuttered at her. A brief moment of irritation flashed across my mind when she showed no confusion at my question before nodding. However, it was merely a flickering candle before the inferno that was my….relief?

Tears actually pricked the corners of my eyes as sheer happiness coursed through me. I felt a goofy grin spread across my face and I had to resist the urge to tackle-hug her.

I sighed with relief, and straightened up. But another memory flashed through my head, and I started to look around. But…oh right, the Polar Bear! I think his name was….Kumi….Kuma…Kumajiro! That's it.

The girl must have known what I was looking for, because she reached into a smaller box (that probably came with the huge one I came in) and pulled out the Polar Bear. As soon as she touched him, his eyes flickered open and he looked straight at me.

"Who?" He asked, in a cute adorable voice. Thankfully, I remembered that he always said that to me, and I was about to reply to him with my own name, when yet another occurred to me. What? Why did I have two? I was just glad to have one.

Nevertheless, this was the answer he was looking for, so with a sigh, I replied,

"I'm Canada, Kumajiro."
