Chapter 6

Disaster

I went to the closest police officer.

"W…what happened!?!" I asked, "WHERE'S MY MOM!?!"

He looked down at me and pointed to the ambulance. I ran to the ambulance and tried got into the vehicle. I looked down at my mom. She was covered in burn marks and blood, and she was on a respirator. I was just glad she was still alive.

"Um…are you this women's daughter?" a doctor asked.

I looked up at him and nodded my head.

"She was shot twice in the stomach and once through the chest." He said calmly. I looked at him in shock. I was trying to hold back tears.

"So you're saying this was attempted murder?" I asked. My voice was shaky.

"Yeah…we don't know who did it." He said. I looked down at the ground and started to think. 'Did my mom have any enemies?'

No one came to mind. I felt the doctor put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sure your mom will make it." I could tell he was lying.

(Hospital)

I was in the waiting room praying. It was something I haven't done in so long.

"Fransisca," a nurse called out, "your mother would like to speak to you."

I followed the nurse into the room my mom was in.

"Here you are." The nurse left.

I walked into the room.

"M…mom?"

"Fransisca come here." She looked at me. I walked up to her.

"These will be my last words to you."

"D…don't talk like that mom, you…your gonna make it." I felt a tear fall down my face.

"No need for tears, now listen to what I have to say." She took a deep breath. I held her hand.

"I remember when you were little, and now you're all grown up. You have to promise me two things." I nodded. "1. don't be a bitch to everyone around you," she said jokingly, "and 2. don't choose revenge, I love you." She closed her eyes. I felt her hand growing cold. The machine made a flat line and one long beep.

"Mom…please…don't leave…" the next thing I saw were doctors rushing in and two of them pulled me out of there and back into the waiting room.

I was getting a bit impatient.

"Fransisca?" I heard a deep familiar voice. I looked up to see Hibari standing right in front of me. He seemed a bit taken back as he looked at me. Of course he still kept his composure.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. I didn't answer. I just stared at the floor.

"If you're wondering why I'm here I came to question the victim of the house that had burned down."

"Fransisca…" the doctor came out. "I'm sorry, but your mother didn't make it."

I dropped to my knees on the floor. I started crying. I didn't care if Hibari saw me.

"Hibari-san, may I have a word with you?" I heard the doctor asked.

(Hibari's POV)

I walked out of the waiting room with the doctor.

"You must be here to question the owner of the house." I nodded.

"Her mother was the owner; no one really knows what had happened."

I looked back at Fransisca through the glass window. She was still crying. That really pissed me off. I already know it was a murder. "Looks like I'm going to have to bite the culprit to death." I thought.

"Does she have anywhere to stay?" I asked.

"Not that I know of."

"Hmph…"

I opened the door and walked over to Fransisca.

(Fransisca's POV)

I felt someone lift me off my feet. It was Hibari. He put me on his back and left the hospital. I didn't resist. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his.

"Hibari-san…you don't have to…"

"Quiet." He ordered. I soon felt myself drift asleep.

(Dream)

I was five years old. I was in the back seat of my dad's old car. He was at the wheel.

"Hi sweetie I see you're awake." He said. "Are you excited about getting home to mommy?"

"Yeah!" I said excitedly. We were at a stoplight. The light turned green and we were turning. Then suddenly a bus hit us. I woke up in the hospital. I woke up to see that mom was there by my side. She was crying.

"Momma where's daddy?"

"He…he's gone…"

(End of dream)

(Hibari's POV)

I felt Fransisca flinch a little. I walked into my house and looked at the time. It read 3:00am. I decided to put her in my bed while I sleep at the computer desk.

(Fransisca's POV)

I woke up in Hibari's bed. I looked over and he had his head down sleeping at his desk. I got out of bed and walked over to him. I shook his shoulder.

He let out an agitated moan and glared at me. I had no one left so I don't really care if I die.

"I'm leaving." I said quietly.

"And where do you think your gonna stay?"

"On the streets somewhere." I answered.

As I started walking toward the door he grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug. I was shocked.

"Stay and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Hibari pulled me on the bed with him. He was still holding me. we both fell asleep.
