TO THE PLACE WHERE SHE BELONGS
Minako opened her eyes, again, she was in a dark room. She then remembered that she passed out after she gave her power to Minato. She stood up, "Nii-sama...Ryouji-kun?" She started to panic, "Where are you!" she shouted. Nobody answered her call, she felt a bit afraid then , c'mon Minako..stay calm...try to remember what happen after you gave your power...
"Glad to find you here, Minako..." a familiar voice came from behind her. Minako turned back and looked at the person. It was Minato.
"Nii-sama!" She hugged him. "Glad to see you healthier than before...!"
"Minako..wake up..." he said calmly.
Minako blinked as she released her grip and looked at her brother face directly. "What do you mean by that, Nii-sama...where are we actually?" she asked.
"Inside your mind, Minako." Minato smiled, "I returned your original power and I got permission from Theodore and Elizabeth to see you...your Orpheus, I return it to you..."
"But why...?" Minako asked.
"Your power, actually is not a wild card power. Because I gave my power to you...you have the wild card originally, you are not wild card holder. But, it's unique that because now, you have two personas inside you, Kartikeya and Orpheus, maybe Igor or the velvet room servants give you an exception. So now you have that power..." Minato explained. "Use it wisely, Minako..."
"So, you won't sufferingagain now?" Minako asked again, held her brother hand tightly.
Minato shooked his head, "No..I won't"
"Thanks goodness..." Minako relieved, "Shall we go home now, Nii-sama? Together."
Minato patted her head, "Actually you're the one who will go home to your place, Minako..." he smiled, "I'll return to the Great Seal..."
Minako surprised but then she nodded, "Yeah, you're right..."
"Go home now Minako, your friends waiting for you..." Minato hugged her. "I'll miss you my dearest sister. It's been a while since I hug you like this..."
Minako chuckled, "Tehehe...yeah, it's been a while..." she then looked at Minato and kissed his cheek. "Thank you...Nii-sama...for everything..."
"Farewell...Minako..."
The light from the lamp on the ceilling are dazzling her her eyes dazzled. Minako opened her eyes, slowly..she rubbed her eyes, "Where am I..?" She whispered. She rose from her bed, have I return to the real world...? she then felt something hard on the edge of her bed. She wassurprised when seeing that it was Akihiko, he slept. Minako poked his hand, but he didn't awake, then she realized that black half-circle under his eyes. He didn't sleep properly, didn't he...?
"Ah!"
Sound from the door surprised Minako, then she looked at the door. It was Yukari, she looked surprised. "Err...Good morning...maybe?" Minako greeted her.
Yukari looked happy and calm, she approached the brunette and smiled at her, "It's Good night, actually..." Yukari took the glass on Minako's table. "Glad to see you awake, wait here! I'll tell the others and get you some hot tea." She ordered and walked away from the room.
"Wait!" Yukari stopped when she heard that Minako called her. "How long I fell asleep?" she asked curiously.
Yukari though for a while, "A week...probably, but lucky you...Sanada-senpai stayed on by your side this whole time...he was waiting for you, to wake up.." She smiled and continued her walk.
Minako blushed, she couldn't hide her red face, lucky that Akihiko was sleeping, She couldn't imagine what will happen if he see her right now. She looked at the silverette who still sleeping. She smiled and caressed his silver hair, "Thank you...Akihiko-san..."
Tried to not wake him up, Minako tried to sneak out from her bed, went to her bathroom and changed her outfit. She caressed her hair, remembered that Minato's hand caressed her brown hair before their separated. Nii-sama...don't worry I won't look back again...Minako walked out from the bathroom, appearently Yukari waited for her, "Takeba-san..."
"Here, to make your body warm," Yukari gave her a cup of tea.
"Thanks." Minako accepted it and sat on the other side of her bed and still tried to not wake Akihiko. She sipped her tea, and she looked at Yukari, she looked like she had something inside her mind, "What's wrong Takeba-san?" Minako asked.
"You..you met him right?" Yukari showed her a faint smile. Minako just nodded. "Actually, I met him too, two days ago...he returned his power to you...you remember that you passed out for a while right? Yeah,but I can't say that for a while, a week actually..." Yukari reached something from her pocket, "I met him, and talked to him. About what will we do for our future, I can understand his feeling, and then he gave me this.." Yukari showed Minako Minato's MP3 player including his earphone.
"It's..." Minako blinked her eyes for a while
"It's hims. He gave it to me. First, I accepted it as memento...but," Yukari kept quiet for a while, "When I saw you, I felt something is not right, you should keep it Minako, not me..." she looked confused. "I...I..."
"Just keep it, Takeba-san..." Minako said gently, while she wrapped Yukari's hand with her hands. "He entrust you with his precious things. It means that you're important for him too. Your place in his heart are different with me."
"But..." Yukari tried to refuse it.
"I insist.. Please." Minako said, "...maybe you can tell that I'm jealous, yeah it's right but...It can't be helped, your position with me inside his heart are different. You're his lover, not me. I'm just her sister who always looking after him. Not like you, who always keep on your eyes at him, scolded him when he done something wrong, supported him when he needed it, cheered at him when he felt down, cried for him when he couldn't cry..."
"You're everything for him, Takeba-san...I'm sure about that.." Minako smiled.
Yukari exhaled her breath, "Geeez...thanks Minako-chan.." She smiled back at her, "I promise to him and you too, that I'll treasure it, no matter what..."
A moan came from the silverette guy, and both of Yukari and Minako looked at Akihiko, "It looks like he'll be awake soon.." Minako smiled. She approached Akihiko, and rubbed his shoulder, "Sanada-san..." she said softly.
Akihiko, slowly opened his eyes, when he saw the brunette was missing from her bed he was surprised but suddenly someone poked his shoulder, he turned back and surprised again, the girl that he watched over, now stood in front of him, with her angelic smile. "Mina..ko..."
"Sleep well, Sanada-san?" She teased him. Before she could teased him again, Akihiko wrapped his arms on her, hugged her tightly. Now, Minako's turn to feel surprised. "Eee..." she blushed and looked at Yukari who started to laugh at her. "Ta..Takeba-san.."
"Well, maybe I'll excuse myself..." Yukari teased Minako, "I'll left you guys alone..." she walked to the door slowly and before she closed the door, she winked her eyes at Minako and waved her hand then she whisperred something that Minako couldn't hear but she could read Yukari's lips movement, it seems she told Minako 'good luck', but for what, Minako didn't understand and she felt annoyed in the end.
But now, Minako couldn't move from her position. Akihiko hugged her and his grip was really tight. She couldn't release it so she decided to give up and let him. But then she rubbed his back, "Akihiko-san...are you,...crying?" She tried to figure out the low sobbing voice from him and she felt something shed and something wetting her dress.
Akihiko loosened his grip and looked at Minako's face directly. Yeah, Minako was right. He was crying. She smiled and wiped his tears, "What are you crying for? Tears really doesn't suit you...you're a tough guy, right?" she said gently.
Akihiko, held her shoulders tightly and pressed his forehead with hers, "I though that...I'll lose you, forever..." he tried to hold back his tears.
Minako could felt the warm of his body, his hand. His strength that held her hands tightly. She took a deep breath and caressed her senior hair. "Akihiko-san..." she said gently. Yeah, Nii-sama..you're right, the person that really important for me now...
Both of them loosened their grip and looked at each other. Minako smiled, "...I'm home..." It's him...
Akihiko smiled back at her and hugged her again, "...welcome back..." he said gently.
The other day, all of the SEES members including Minako gathered at the cemetery, they went to Minato's grave. Minako put a bouquet of red and white roses and white lilies on the grave. She smiled, "Nii-sama, this is the last day...I must return to Ayanagi now..." she stood up and faced the SEES members, "Well, everyone..thank you for everything...sorry if I bothered all of you back then..."
"It's okay, beside..." Mitsuru took one of minako's hand and put the SEES arm band on her palm, "..you're one of us..."
"You're Minato's twin after all so, it's normal if you're part of us too..." Yukari smiled.
"Welcome, aboard..." Fuuka said happily.
Minako was surprised andthenlooked at each of SEES members, they smiled at her. "..everyone...thank you..I don't know how to repay all of your kindness..actually I don't want this, but thank you..." she bowed her head a little.
"Well, maybe it's the separation...c'mon Minako..." Akihiko said, took her hand.
Junpei blocked Akihiko's way and grinned, waved one of his finger, "Naah..not yet Senpai.." he took a digital camera from his pocket, "Let's take a picture together first..." All of them sighed and laughed a little.
Akihiko too, he felt a bit annoyed and then smiled, looked at Minako who giggled. "Shall we..? as reminder of this place.." and Minako nodded.
They took a position in front of the shrines, "sometimes, you have a good idea, Junpei..but why in this kind of occasion..." Yukari teased him.
"C'mon Yukaricchi..just accept that I'm the genius." Junpei said while he tried to find someone to take the picture and he got one.
"Yeah, genius in the inpredictable situation..." Yukari said in a low voice.
"But, it's Junpei for us..." Fuuka said.
Yukari sighed, "yeah you're right.." Yukari then realized that, Akihiko stood behind Ken while Minako stood beside Mitsuru, then she got an idea, "Wait, Minako-chan, Sanada-senpai, your position is wrong.." she took the brunette and silverette hand, dragged both of them in the center. "Here..." she looked at them, "Perfect!" then she returned to her position.
"Yukari-chan, sometimes you're nosy too.." Fuuka realized what Yukari did, she make a match both of Minako and Akihiko.
"Everyone ready!" Junpei shouted.
"YEAH!" All of them shouted.
"C'mon Junpei, or I and Minako will miss the train!" Akihiko shouted back.
Junpei walked to their place, "Yeah..yeah...sorry to disturb your time with Minako. Hmmm...lovebirds.." he teased him.
Akihiko blushed, "Why..you..." and Minako blushed as well.
"C'mon sir! Count in!" Junpei shouted at the person who held his camera and unexpectedly he tripped and making them surprised and then before he could fixed his position, the picture, already taken.
On the train, Minako couldn't stop laughing. Remebered the event back then, "...Really, I can't wait for the picture result..."
Akihiko sighed and patted her head, "Yeah, that stupid one...never change..."
Minako exhaled her breath and looked at the train's floor, "So..it's over right?" She played her feets. "About Nii-sama..."
Akihiko stoped patting her head and blinked for a while but then he smiled and caressed her hair, "No Minako..it's just start now..."
Minako then looked at Akihiko and smiled, "Yeah..you're right.." then she laid her head on Akihiko's shoulder. Akihiko wassurprised, "Just let it like this...for this moment..." Minako said softly.
Akihiko nodded a little, "So...did you tell him everything back then...?" he asked.
"Yeah...and I am relieved..not only about the matter, I told him 'good bye' too this time, properly..." Minako stared at the window.
"So that's mean..."
"I won't look back anymore..I'll face what will happen in my future ahead ofme..." she smiled. Then both of them stay quiet for a while. Minako didn't hear his voice, maybe he was sleeping "Nee...Akihiko-san..."
"Hmm..?" Akihiko murmured.
"I haven't thank to you properly..." she said, "Thank you for protecting me and waiting for me that time...it's really kind of you..."
Akihiko smiled, "I promised, right?" he then put one of his hand on Minako's shoulder, "promised that...I'll protect you at any cost..."
Minako giggled, "Yeah..you're right..."
"Let's just take a break for a while..for now, enjoy this moment..." he said and started to close his eyes.
"Yeah..." Minako slowly closed her eyes too.
Yay...Iwatodai's part done!
