His eyes were distant, his hands were cold. Although he was smiling, his heart seemed empty.
Even though, Kiyomine felt relief that Takara is back in to his arm.

Kiyomine pulled Takara to his chest and hugged. Not too tightly, but a gentle warm hug.

"Shorty... YOU MADE ME WORRIED THIS FAR AND YOU ARE SOO NOT FORGIVEN BY ME."
His tone was deep and calming but his eyes were fierce.

Takara held his pen and a notebook he was given earlier, from the table and wrote something down.
As he finished writing he handed to Kiyomine.

[I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.] Kiyomine was now more worried.

With a calmed voice he replied. "I said before, what are you sorry about. You did make us worry but that was because something happened right?"

Takara's eyes widen as he heard 「Something happened」. His heart thumping very loud. His heart squeezed painfully.
He couldn't bring himself to tell Kiyomine what happened. He felt terrible, his head again begin to replay the scene over and over again.

No matter what, he could not forget it. His head felt pain, gradually becoming stronger. Takara hears something beeping in his head. He held his head and cried.
"Hey Shorty, what's wrong. Does somewhere hurts? I'll call a doctor so wait here. Hold on tight!"

Kiyomine dashed away as Takara started to see something. Something familiar. Something nostalgic.
He then, fell out of the bed.

Takara opened his eyes. What he saw was a playground. A playground that he used to play when he was little. The playground near that old house. When he walked farther to the playground, he saw a small boy who looked exactly like Takara. He was wearing a cute sailor and shorts. Beside him was a young men. Although he wasn't able to see him clearly, he knew it was someone he know.

As people pass by Takara, he realized that no one seem to see himself.

His gaze turned back to the young man.
Takara walked closer and peeked through the fence.
Suddenly the man beside small Takara turned and walked towards him.

`Huh? He...is walking towards me? But...he..can see me?` Takara looked around. But no one was there.

The young man stopped in front of Takara and smiled.
The man's smile reminded him of certain someone.
His bangs hid his eyes but that smile wasn't any good smile but a cruel one.

"You cause people miserable. You give them problem. Your nothing but a burden." The man begin.
"WHA-! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHI-"
"I don't know anything? Hahahahahaha! Don't joke around. You're the one who doesn't understand anything. Are you stupid?"
"STUPID!? Who are you anyways! Don't just talk everything as if you know anything about me!" Takara shouted. his mind fuzzy and weak. Blood boiling within Takara, and his heart beating fast.

"Do you believe that someone might still love you? You still think that everybody will never leave you? You are always alone. Isn't that right? See your father even left you after your mother died. He didn't like you." The man snickered.
"I know that...I know that already. My father left because he didn't want to see me that moment but he loved me. Everyone stayed with me. He said that he loved me."

"Wow...You sure are arrogant. You actually believed that he loved you. Haven't you ever doubt that he lied to you? You're just scared to admit that you are always alone and hated."

"..." Takara could not talk back. His statement stabbed his heart like a sharp sword.
There was nothing to fight back, he was right. Takara hated being alone and hated.

He was scared.

"See, you also think that he hates you right? You father never tells you the truth like back then."
Takara was silently standing. His heart ached. More and more...
"There is one way to stay safe. You have to come to me. I will be there for you. I will love you Takara."

Takara flinched. Then suddenly the man disappeared like a mist.

Takara lost it's conciousness.
As he opened his eyes his eyes instantly went to his own hand.

Warm and gentle hands holding his own tightly. As he traced his eyes from the hand to the person's face, he saw Kiyomine sleeping. His face seemed pale and tired.

`Kiyomine. I'm sorry.` Tears started to flow.
His hand flinched as Takara's tear drop on his hand.
Kiyomine stared at Takara, as Takara did the same.

"Shorty! You're awake." Kiyomine tightly hugged him and caressed his cheek.
"Let me call the doctor. Just wait a sec." Kiyomine walked and left.
Outside, he could hear many voices.
His father's and even Reiichi sempai's voice was heard.

The doctor walked in.
"Hello Takara kun. How are you feeling right now?" The doctor sat on the chair.
He took the notebook and the pen from the desk and wrote.

[I'm fine.]

"Do you remember what happened when you lost consciousness?"

Takara nodded.

"Then everything will be fine. You don't have injuries when you fell too. Just the problem is those guys..." Doctor glanced at the door.

[Those guys?]

"Yes. Your friends. They have been worried for god sake so in my opinion, you should meet them to insure your safety." Doctor smile and left again.

It was not so long that many people suddenly barged in the moment the doctor left.

"TAKARA!" Many people dashed in and hugged Takara with all their might.

Well only Asou and Aritomo got choked by Kiyomine later because...you know...

[Sorry for making you worry and all. I'm very sorry.] Takara bowed as he tight grabbed the bed sheet. Trying not to cry.

Aritomo patted Takara's shoulder and smiled..
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm glad that you are safe and sound. Your voice will come back soon, doctor said!"

Takara glanced around and everyone gave him a warm smile.

`How can I doubt them...` Takara smiled them back.

All the people laughed and giggled. Many smiles flied everywhere. Takara felt happiness.
He was the happiest person in the world.
