I entered darkness again sometime during the night. I remember hearing a voice but nothing else. I could not understand the words that were spoken to me. They kept repeating over and over again the same words. Oh wait there was another thing as well. There was a mirror there, and when I looked into it, it was me but… I was older more.. I don't know how to describe it. I just wants me. I reached out to touch the mirror but everything fell away, I soon started falling too. I was not worried. It was just darkness after all, I would just keep falling. Then the voice went away and I hear nothing, not even my own breathing this time. Just silence. It hurt. My heart started to beat faster although I don't know why, it pounded in my chest cavity even if I could barely feel it. Something was wrong.
It felt like I was dieing, not that I knew what it felt like but I seemed like I was. I felt then arms encircle me. They were crushing me. I understood now what the words were saying. But I can't repeat them, because this can't be right. Darkness didn't have arms or feelings… Then who was this? Who was making me suffer this way?
'Selone.' I heard this from a distance. 'Selone.' I heard again, it was a voice I found familiar some how. But why were they calling me Selone? Wasn't my name Aira? I felt the arms again crushing me, cutting off my air way. 'Selone!' The voice called again, now I started to hear beeping. Where did that come from? Where am I? My eyes fluttered open, my breathing coming back. My vision was blurred as I looked around the room. Something was covering my mouth, and my hand hurt. My eyes soon cleared and spotted a women sitting next to me. Green eyes stared back at me as her face broke into a smile. Who was she? Where am I? Question kept running through my head. I knew I was missing something but… What was it?
"Selone! Your finally awake!" The women stated her tone of voice more then happy. A few people ran into the room wearing white coats. Wait… Was I in the hospital? The last thing I remember is… Sanzo. I tried to sit bolt up right but they held me down. Where was I? Where are they? Sanzo? Hakkai? Goku? Gojyo? I struggled against the people in the room. Where are they? Where am I? "Selone! Stop! You have to stop this! You just woke up! You've been in a comma for a month!" That stopped me. I looked wide eyed at the women. I could not believe what I was hearing. A coma? How could this have happened? Was it all a dream? And why was she still calling me Selone? My name is Aira. A pain filled my chest and caused me to gasp for breath as it closed off my air supply.
'No! You are not Aira! I am!' Called a voice in my head much different then the one from before. This one was almost like mine. The beeping around me increased as I feel back on the white bed. I heard noise around me but I did not care. Something had to be wrong.. Why was I here? Where was here anyway? I turned my head to the side and spotted a book. It was black and I somehow remembered it. I reached out my hand to grab it and was helped by a man that was the only one in the room besides the women without a coat on. I looked over it trying to remember it. I opened it and started to read.
'My name is Selone Amaris McFadden. I'm 16 years old and I have only been out of my parent's house 14 times. I know, it's sad right? When you are 16 and you can count how many times you left the house…'This is my hand writing. When did I..? I wasn't sure of anything anymore. I closed the book my head starting to hurt. I hadn't said a word to anymore yet. They were all looking at me. I was lost in thought at the moment. A coma? Could it be true? If its not then won't the guys go looking for me, if they were real? Can my name really be Selone? Or are they just making that up? But I had written it down? I'm so confused.
"Sweetie?" The man who had handed me the book, now known as a dairy now stood next to me. I looked up at him, him bring me out of my thoughts. "Don't you remember us? I'm your dad and that's your mom." He stated pointing to the women with green eyes. My parents? Then my memory started to come back. The hand, the rain, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, my home, my cage. It still did not make any sense though.
-Meanwhile-
The brown haired, golden eyed boy raced up stairs to the room next to the one Sanzo had stayed in last night. He knocked on the door before her entered the room to find it empty. He looked around confused. "Hey Sanzo! I thought you said Aira was in here!" He shouted to the blonde priest in the other room. Sanzo looked up from that day's paper with a cigarette in his hand. He rolled his eyes at the young boy and continued to read. "I'm serious she's not in there!" He shouted again getting angry. Hakkai walked out of the adjoining bathroom his hair still wet from his shower. "Hakkai! Aira's not in her room!" Goku now turned his attention to the older man. The green eyes man looked startled by the notion of Goku.
"Are you sure Goku?" Hakkai asked with a worried expression. The teen nodded vigorously. Gojyo walked into room them.
"Hey where s the chick? I thought she was staying in the room next to yours?" The red haired man asked with a cigarette in his mouth. Sanzo looked up for this. Two people saying she was not here? He stood from his seat folding the newspaper up, laying it on the table then made his way to the room where he had put Aira last night after she had fallen asleep. 'Gone? She can't be. Not again.' He shook his head while he entered the room. He stopped short after he entered. There was no sign of her, and unlike the other rooms this one adjoined bathrooms with the one next to it which Hakkai had just come out of so she could not have been there. 'Where is she?' The four men went around the whole inn trying to find her, asking people if they had seen her or what not. They came up empty handed in the end.
A/N: Sorry it took me so long to get this out and that its short. I'll do better next time, promise.
