Chapter 4

Hikari stood from the bed feeling how raw and sore her body felt. Luckily there was some warm water and she could let the heat wash the soreness away. Letting her eyes close just for a minute she start to day dream of when she and Kei would finally meet again. Soft big hands encircled her as she opened her eyes and looked behind her "Kei?" she breathed the smiling face of Kei melted her soreness away and she leaned into his touch. "I missed you Kei" "My dearest Hikari" Was all she heard and let his hands travel her body in smooth motions.

" Do not leave me. Hikari" she looked around seeing the pain stained eyes." Kei, I would never leave you. Why would you think such things?" The man's face cringed in pain and stepped back looking down. "Why Hikari? Why?" Hikari looked desperately at him but gasped as she saw a big hole in his chest and blood was pouring out in to the water. "Kei! What's happening Kei?" she screamed. The man in front of her did not look up "Kei! Please do not die….Kei?" Nothing "Kei!" she screamed with tears rolling down her face " Don't leave me Kei!" she saw his body started to disintegrate "No…. no…no! Kei!?... please. Kei look at me… Kei!" nothing "KEEEEEIIIIII!" she screamed feeling dead inside. She looked around seeing that it was only a terrible day mare. When she looked down she gasped and saw that the blood stained water was coming from her. Blackness came closer, breathing became harder to do. ' Is this my way to die?' the floor came closer but no impact was felt 'will I never see them again' she thought as flashes of her friends and family flashed through her brain and ended up on the face she so desperately wanted to touch again. 'Kei…I love you'

Kei's head snapped up as a very worried feeling suddenly came over him, his phone rang and saw it was Hikari's mother and his heart instantly dropped. "Mrs Hanozono" he barely spoke before she broke down on the other side " Kei something is wrong with Hikari!" Kei held his breath, he knew a mother's sixth sense was never wrong especially when it came to this woman and her children. "I think something bad happened to her Kei!" The said woman's voice was filled with dread, sorrow and tears. Kei could not do anything except to also start silently crying. 'Where are you Hikari!'

Kei's grandfather woke up in the middle of the night only to stare at the room he had presently occupied since his darn grandson has ordered him to stay with the Hanozono family. Climbing out of bed he heard Mrs Hanozono crying while speaking on the phone " Kei something is wrong with Hikari!" the old man froze in his steps hearing his grandson's name "I think something bad happened to her Kei!" the old man suddenly felt something tuck at his heart as he looked upon a photo of the said girl. 'What is it about this girl that everyone is so worried about, what is it about her that my grandson love so much that he even went so far as to buy me out of my position?' "Why don't you make time and get to know the people that knows her well" The old man turned around and there in front of him stood the ghost of his mother.

"Mother?"

The spirit smiled and reach over to touch her son's face. "How is it that your heart has turned to stone and became as blind as to the beauty around you?" The said man could only stare but with sadness evident in his eyes. " O my son, I know you have worked hard to be where you are now, but is it worth it to keep two people apart that clearly are destined to be together." The spirit looked deep into the eyes of her son. " What is it that you are afraid of so much?" He look at his mother with desperation " I am afraid that she will ruin this family, that she is only a gold-digger, that she is only using Kei to be the best to take everything from us" the old man was now shaking violently, never has he spoken the words he felt all these years. "Is that why you almost drowned your own grandson in business when he is but only a student? Is it not that you are describing the woman your father married after I was gone? Is it not that fear blinded you to see that Kei is smart enough to know when there is trouble or not?" Each question was rhetorical but none the less, he understood. " Do you remember what Kei told you when he was but 9 Years old?" "yes I do, he told me that he respected me and what I do and have done so much that he will live up to the name of Takishima" The spirit nod "You see, even when he, 9 years old, he was smart enough to see the world for what it is. You were exactly like that when you were younger" His head snapped up looking at the eyes of his mother " I was?" " yes you were, but a life of hatred and revenge consumed your heart that you cannot even see your own family in despair" The spirit showed with her hands a mirror image of his family and there they were, his children, each of them with sadden expressions and a poster of Hikari laying somewhere near and his Kei sitting on his knees with hands in his hair crying his heart out.

"If you want to know who Hikari is, you should talk to everyone that knows her, then you will see what everybody sees in this light" The said man was walking up and down with each word rolling in his head, when he look up he saw that his mother's spirit was slowly fading away. " Mom no, please do not leave" " I have to sweet heart, but always remember who you are and that I love you" " wait mom, before you leave… Is this girl, I mean Hikari…. Is she okay?" the woman got a sad look on her face " For now yes…. But if Kei do not get to her soon…" "what? What will happen" "Good bye my son" He stared at the blank space where his mother was standing just a second ago 'the light?' he though. 'Why does her name mean light?'

At the light of day he walked down to the kitchen seeing a very tired woman looking out the window. "uhm… Mrs Hanozono?" The said women looked over her shoulder " O good morning Mr Takishima, did you sleep well, here let me make you something to eat" He sat at the table and looked at how the woman started on breakfast "Mrs Hanozono, may I ask you something?" She stopped working all together and looked at the man "yes you may" He took a deep breath " I know that you know of my reputation and what I did to Kei and Hikari's relationship" the woman became stiff and only stared at the man. " But I want to change, I want to know who Hikari is and why all of you love her so much. I want to be able to understand. Please help me understand." Hikari's mother smiled a weary smile with a single tear running down her check's.

" Hikari is the light in our lives."

Okey so I put Kei's grandfather in this position where his mother's spirit visited him.

Some one has to show him the "LIGHT" again.

and IF you guys where wondering, Hikari is not dead. so you can put down the pitch forks and you, yes you with the sniper, I am watching you.

There will be no killing of the Author just yet.
