Ch.6

Hiro was right about the strange noises in the middle of the night after all, Tadashi thought as the creepy footsteps sounds and the giggles of a little girl continued. How could I have not believed him? He was beginning to freak himself out. He suddenly had the urge to go check on his little brother. He put on his cardigan and rushed out of the room, taking two steps at a time when he ran into a soaked Alan. He gasped when he saw who he was holding. An unconscious Hiro wrapped in a towel.

"I saw him in the bottom of the pool when I went to get something. I jumped and got him. Thank God you came." He looked grim.

Tadashi grabbed Hiro from him, and held him like a baby. Thank God thank God. He berated himself for letting his little brother go by himself. "Thanks for saving him" Tadashi said gratefully.

"No problem, I was going to bring him to you" Alan said, as he went downstairs to change out of his wet clothes. Tadashi ran upstairs with Hiro on his arms. He felt angry at himself for letting Hiro go swimming by himself. Once he got back to their hotel room, he sat on his bed and hugged Hiro to his chest. "Oh Hiro, sorry for letting you go by yourself" he murmured.

Finally, to Tadashi's relief, Hiro began to gain consciousness. He coughed and sputtered. He was shivering like crazy beneath his towel. Tadashi hugged him tighter to keep him warm.

When Hiro saw Tadashi, he threw his arms around him and sobbed violently on his shoulder. He was so afraid.

"Shhh, relax baby brother, you're safe. I've got you," Tadashi soothed. But Hiro just sobbed and sobbed.

"Oh 'Dashi, I was so scared!" Hiro never really expressed his feelings.

"What happened?" Tadashi asked gently. But Hiro just kept on sobbing. Tadashi thought that before he got his little brother to talk, step one was to get him to calm down first.

"Shhh…you're safe. It won't happen again." he said, rocking him gently back and forth. Tadashi felt even guiltier. He should never have let his little brother go by himself. He should have accompanied him. He hated himself at this moment.

Once Hiro finally calmed down, Tadashi suggested for him to take a shower and then talk to him.

"But 'Dashi, I don't want to" Hiro stammered. He seemed hesitant at first as he was afraid of water at the moment. Especially icy cold.

"I'll make sure the water is hot for you" Tadashi said gently, as he was getting in the washroom. He opened the tap and felt for hot water. Fortunately, there was.

"Hot water is waiting for you" he called out to his little brother cheerfully.

Hiro came in with his towel. "Now get out so I can take a nice hot shower". Once Tadashi got out, Hiro got on the tub cautiously. "Tadashi better be right" Hiro murmured to himself. He opened the tap and sure enough, there was. The hot water felt so good and for a moment he forgot all what happened.

After such a nice relaxing shower, Hiro finally got out of the tub to get changed when he saw something that made him gasp.

Blood splat in the sink.

"What the…" Hiro said, nervously. He was shaking.

Once Hiro finally got out of the washroom looking fresh, dressed and cleaned, Tadashi noticed a sick look on his little brother's face.

"What's the matter, buddy?" Tadashi asked gently, crouching down so he was at his brother's level.

Hiro pointed a shaky finger at the washroom. "There was-" He tried to explain but he couldn't as he was so frightened.

Tadashi put a hand on his shoulder to encourage him to go on.

He couldn't, so instead he led his older brother in to show him when, to his surprise, there was no blood splat in the sink!

Tadashi looked from the sink to his younger brother, curiously. "What is it, Hiro?" he asked.

Hiro didn't know what to say. "Th-th-that's impossible." he said, shakily. "I swear it was here!"

"What was here?" Tadashi asked.

"B-b-blood"

"Blood! You must be imagining it, but there is no blood."

"I swear 'Dashi! Once I got out of the shower to get changed, I noticed blood splat in the sink" he was shuddering. How could it be? Maybe Tadashi was right. He was imagining things. He finally shrugged and muttered, "whatever. Maybe you're right that I was imagining it. My mind is probably playing tricks on me after that incident at the pool"

"Right! You forgot to tell me, what happened at the pool?" Tadashi asked as they were getting out of the washroom.

Hiro sat on his bed and told his big brother everything.

Tadashi shuddered. That must have been so creepy! He hugged his little brother to his chest and said for the millionth time, "oh Hiro, how can I have let you go like that without supervision" he would never forgive himself if something happened to his younger brother.

Hiro squirmed and said, "Get over it, bro! It's already over."

Tadashi suddenly remembered something. "Oh, I forgot to tell you! When you left to go for a swim, I heard strange noises. Giggles of a little girl and footsteps. You were right after all!"

Hiro smiled. "I told you so, and you did not believe me!"

"Wonder what's the meaning of all this…" Tadashi wondered.

Hiro shrugged. "Ah, who cares for now. Let's just try to have fun here!"

Tadashi smiled. "There's a pizza place nearby. How about we take our dinner there?"

Hiro beamed. "Sounds great!"
