Chapter Two
Dreams and Memories
In the warmth of the cocoon, Saya can feel that her time of sleep is near to the end.
To tell the truth, this is the first time that Saya does not wish for her sleep to end. She knew that there are people waiting for her to wake up. Not because of her ability to defeat Diva. This time the people she knew waited for her simply because they had missed her.
But her life would be empty once she wakes up. On her previous awakenings, she had a mission and Haji once she opens her eyes. But now, no mission. And what hurt her the most, there won't be any Haji. Just thinking about it makes her wants to cry in her sleep. Other times she wishes that she could go on sleeping forever.
When Kai did her hair, he tried to comfort her. Kai told her that Haji would probably just show up one day. That that was his style. God, Kai doesn't have any idea how she wished that to be true. But Saya has nearly stopped believing in hope. Unfulfilled hope can hurt more that anything. She had gone through it. Never again would she feel the pain of destroyed hope. Better to be realistic than hope for something that can never happened.
In this case, the survival of Haji. How could he possibly survive? If he wasn't hurt, she could probably say that there is the possibility that Haji survived. But during the last fight, Amshell, on the verge of death, had given an almost fatal wound to Haji. Then, a boulder had crushed him. After that the army had initialized Option D. The opera house was wiped out. If it was only one of that, Haji could probably survived, but three? Saya doubt it.
During the thirty-year sleep, Saya has been dreaming of her pasts. Memories of Haji filled her dreams, until she thought that they were real. But every few years, the memory of the last fight would emerge, shattering her happy dreams of her and Haji.
Saya dreamt when she and Haji first met. At that time, she had already grown into a woman. Haji, a growing teen boy, was brought to the zoo to become her friend. Well, that's what Joel had said. But in reality, he was brought to become her bridegroom.
She dreamt how spoiled she was, and how for the first time Haji cried in front of her. He was a proud boy then. Like most boys, he tried to fight the tears and hid it from her by saying harsh words. Saya had envelope her in her embrace and comfort him. And that was the beginning of her and Haji. They became closer after that.
Saya dreamt of the day that started the whole war against Diva. She remembered how she had released Diva and persuaded Diva to come to Joel's birthday party to sing for him. How Haji had climbed down the cliff to get the flower she wished to give to Joel. How Haji had fall and lost so much blood that she was afraid that he was going to die. She gave him her blood then, but it seems to get worse as Haji spasms and shouted in agony. She ran towards the house to get help, only to find the place she called home was destroyed. The man she called father died in the hands of the sister that she had tried to help. Everything falls apart that day. Never would she forget. She was devastated. But when she turns around, she found Haji, alive and save. He was the reason that has kept her sane after that.
She remembered she met him again in Okinawa. She had forgotten about her pasts and her mission in the world. She even forgot about Haji. She first saw him playing the cello on the side street after her blood transfusion. The sound of the cello had opened up a memory. She saw him again the second time as she was getting her shoes at school during the night. She thought he was a murderer or something. But Haji had saved her and reminded her of her past and her true mission.
The things that happened can be considered as a repetition of her previous awakenings. But then, the game changed, forcing her to end the war against Diva before she succumbs to her sleep. Diva and her chevaliers had caused more damage than ever before. Her chevaliers, renowned business men, had spread the Delta-67 with the help of the U.S army. They had turned innocent bystanders into monster. Diva had killed Riku, her chevalier, and most importantly, her brother. And that she cannot forgive.
The year that she was to sleep, was also the time of her last fight with Diva. Diva had become famous for her singing. It was a ploy to spread the Delta-67. Those who have been infected would respond to Diva's voice. Saya was a tad too late which has caused many people to turn into chiropteran.
Amshell had tried to stop her. But Haji took over and fought with Amshell, giving her the chance to defeat Diva. They had fought. Chevalier with chevalier. Queen with queen. In the end both Saya and Diva had given the final blow, but only Diva had met her demised while Saya had survived.
She tried to kill Diva's daughters, but Kai had stopped her. She told him about the promise made between her and Haji. Kai had told her in so many words how stupid her way of thinking. She had stuck with her decision still. But Haji, for the first time after becoming her chevalier had go against her wishes and told her to still live. To live for tomorrow. His words had broken her wall of resolute and convinced her to live.
They kissed after that. A first after so many decades. Not counting the kiss when Haji was giving her blood. She told him she wished to live with Kai, Haji and everyone else.
As they were making their escape, Amshell who supposedly was defeated by Haji, blocked their exit. And that where her nightmare had begun.
Haji had taken the sword that was covered by her blood and thrust it into Amshell. Amshell had given Haji a final blow before he died. At that time Haji had looked at her and said "Nankurunaisa". Tears had welled in her eyes as Kai hold on to her arms, preventing her to go to Haji. He told he loved her just before he was crushed. She screamed his name, but Kai had dragged her to go to a safer place.
They had gone back to Okinawa. Saya had gone back to school, but everything felt so empty.
How could he say he loved her and die? She wished she could die with him and followed Diva, her only family then. But Haji had told her to live. And she will. In memories of him. But she would never forget him. Her almost eternity life would be empty now that Haji is gone. It hurt so much, knowing Haji will not be there when she wakes. If she could see him, touch him one last time, tell him that she also loves him……but it could never be. It's too late now. She will never see Haji.
I love Haji, Saya thought.
On that thought Saya opened her eyes after thirty years of sleep, ready to face the world without Haji.
