Chapter 24: Hospital Visits.
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
Slowly someone's eyes began to open slowly. In the first person's view, the view got a bit groggy and blurry but some sounds can be heard. Eventually though, the view soon became back to normal and there he could see clearly.
When the view became normal, he could feel someone holding his hand and turned around to see none other than Ayami, whose head is laying on the bed.
"Ayami?" Kazaka asked softly.
Slowly, Ayami woke up and rubbed her eyes. Then when she saw Kazaka, oh boy all heaven broke lose.
"Kazaka?" Ayami asked in awe before tears of joy came out from her eyes before she said happily, "Kazaka! You are okay!"
And so she is about to hug Kazaka but then...:
"Hey. Don't do that! He just woke up right now." A voice said sternly.
"Oops. Sorry Grandma." Ayami said and hold his hand instead.
Kazaka then shook his head for a bit before he could see everything clearly and said in surprise:
"Ayami! Ayami's grandmother! Sparks! Rosie! Mayor! Parrot!"
"Ah so you are finally awaken my boy." The Mayor smiled.
"Pck! He has risen!" The parrot said as he spread his wings.
"Ah. Indeed." Ayami's grandmother smiled.
"Glad you are okay." Rosie smiled.
"Boy buddy! I was so worried!" Sparks cried in happiness as he cuddles Kazaka in which everybody smiled.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who's excessive worried." Ayami giggled a bit.
Silence occurred for a few seconds before Kazaka asked:
"Am I in the hospital?"
They all nodded.
"How did I get here?" Kazaka asked before recounting, "The last time I remember is that I threw a beating heart on him."
"Then you collapsed." Ayami said, "Your parents and both my mother and grandmother as well the Police Chief came and took you to this hospital."
"Sparks, Rosie, Max and the Mayor all scratched and bit her ex-father's both arms and legs." Ayami's grandmother said, "And also your Uncle went berserk and even shot on the injured parts and was about to kill him but your aunt and intervened and he stopped but he did his face with the barrel."
"Oh." Kazaka said before asking, "BTW. Who's Max?"
Everyone then soon realized that Kazaka couldn't meet Max because he was unconscious at that time.
"Pck. One of our friend you can say." The parrot said in which everybody nodded.
"Oh I see." Kazaka said before asking, "Wait! Whatever happened to them? Those bad guys?"
"Ayami's ex-father was arrested." Sparks said.
"As for the traitorous Den, we executed him." The Mayor said, "Like we took him to our base, gave him lots of fear and then we executed him last night. Now only his skeleton head remains on the wall."
"Oh. Well at least you guys and those deceased ones can rest easy now." Kazaka said.
"Almost you can say." Rosie said, "Now that fatso's fate will be left to Japan's law's hands."
"Yep."
Silence occurred for a moment.
"Kazaka." Ayami said before she cried on his hand, "I'm so sorry that you got dragged into this and that you nearly died!"
"You only got those injuries cause of us!" Ayami's grandmother cried on his other hand, "They were about to kill you."
They cried for a bit in which the four animals are very sad.
"It's alright you two." Kazaka said as he pats their heads, "I was gonna get dragged into it anyway cause of that Animal Island issue."
"Yeah." The Mayor said, "And good thing we came to the rescue on time."
"Pck! You didn't see what happened in the battle did you?" The parrot asked.
"I think he would be rather better off not knowing." Sparks said, "But I can say that it was a really bloody battle."
"Yeah. I was able to see lots of bloods and limps on the ground before I collapsed." Kazaka said.
The others sighed for a moment before Kazaka asked:
"Did I get any bandages?"
"Let's see." Rosie said, "A big one wrapped around your forehead and two bandages on your cheeks."
When Kazaka touched it and felt it, he sighed:
"Good Grief."
"Don't worry. It will be healed soon." Ayami said as she touched his face.
"Yeah but one thing really surprised me. *Turns to the animals* How did you four get inside?"
"Ah Kazaka! You are finally awake!" A voice said.
Everyone then soon turned their attention to the doctor and nurse who went inside and checked on Kazaka.
"You are here since last night and we had to treat you." The doctor said, "You were lucky. Really lucky. Maybe those bad guys might had beaten you up with sticks and some one, maybe the boss, had hit you even harder with possibly a metal pipe which was why some blood of yours came out. If they all had metal pipes, you would have died after a while."
"I see." Kazaka sighed.
"The good news is that you will be released tomorrow."
"Wow!" Ayami said in awe in which her grandmother and the animals smiled.
"The bad news is though that you will have to remain like this for a month or so. Like I mean, the bandages will need to be kept like that for a while."
"Oh Great." Kazaka sighed, "I'll have to think of the answers that they are gonna ask later."
"Well that's all I have to say. Take care of yourself."
"And also, there is a guest by the way who wants to meet you. She has shown the documents saying that she knows you." The nurse said.
"Really?" Kazaka asked in which the nurse nodded.
"Send her in." Ayami's grandmother said.
The nurse nodded as she and the doctor left.
"Whoa wait. Why didn't they freak out when they saw you four?" Kazaka asked in surprise.
"Pck. Well..." The parrot is about to say but...
"The guest is here!" The nurse called out.
"Pck. Interrupted again..."
The others giggled a bit but then soon came the really big surprise. When the guest stepped in, it's none other than...
"Prin...Principal?!" Kazaka and Ayami gasped in shock.
That's right. It was the principal of the school Kazaka and Ayami go to. She's carrying some flowers and a chocolate box. The animals are also surprised as well.
"Whoa." The Mayor thought in awe.
"Ah. So the principal has arrived." Ayami's grandmother smiled, "So kind of you."
"Hi. Guess you are all really surprised by me appearing." The principal said, "I know Kazaka and Ayami are my students but I actually came here for something else. Something only you guys know."
"Please take a seat."
The principal then sat down and sighed before saying:
"I heard about what happened to you. Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Kazaka nodded, "I'll be released tomorrow but the bandages will have to remain for a month or so."
"I see. And you Ayami? Kazaka told me what had happened to you. It must had been really traumatizing for you to go through that."
"Yes principal but I'm alright now." Ayami smiled.
The principal then smiled before asking:
"And how are your animal friends? Mayor, Sparks, Rosie and the parrot?"
That's when everyone nearly jumped up except Kazaka who gasped in shock.
"Wa...principal. How did you...?" Kazaka asked in shock.
"I know. I know." The principal said before introducing, "Meet my Animal Island friend."
An anthropomorphic mouse soon came appeared on her head in which everyone is surprised.
"Whoa!" Ayami said in awe.
"Is that...?" Sparks asked.
"Hey guys. The name's Matt here." Matt said as he slid down from her shoulder to the bed, "I was one of the Animal Island resident until your ex-dad, that traitor and their goons destroyed it. I drifted to Kyoto and somehow she found me. Long short story of how she found me out talking but I thought she would freak out but she reacted differently. When we settled, I told her about what happened. She then takes me to the school. It was fine until you told her as to what had happened to Ayami which was then I realized what had happened. Later on, I attended the Mayor's speech, heard the news of you getting kidnapped, took part in the battle, witnessed the execution of Den the traitor, later on told her about what had happened, searched for the hospital he is in and now we are here."
"Ah yes. So you have seen it all." The Mayor smiled before realizing, "Oops. I spoke in front of you."
"That's alright." The principal smiled before asking, "So you also know it as well?"
"Ah yes. I have a parrot." Ayami grandmother smiled while the parrot squeaked.
"And you Ayami and Kazaka?"
"Yes." The couple nodded.
"Hi there." Sparks said.
"Hello." Rosie smiled.
"Well it's nice to see both of you." The principal smiled before asking, "What about you Mayor?"
"I'm fine on my own." The Mayor said.
Silence occurred for a moment before the principal said:
"Look. I know it's kinda late to say this but I kinda actually saw you two before."
"What? How?" The cat couple are mouth opened as well as the human couple.
"Well actually I saw you four chatting with each other when I was in my car. Matt also saw it which made me think that you two cats also came from that island. When you two cats were walking around the school, trying not to cause any hectic, it was then I knew it."
"Exposed." The Mayor teased a bit and gave a soft push on Sparks, who groaned.
"Well looks like the cat came out of the bag." Ayami sighed in which Kazaka nodded and sighed too.
"I brought some chocolates for you Kazaka. Hope you'll feel better." The principal said.
"Thanks. I love chocolates." Kazaka said.
They giggle a bit before the principal said:
"Anyway. I don't really want to talk about that. I want to talk about yesterday."
They looked at her closely. Matt then said:
"As I had said, I was there during the battle and I heard about what you did. You had the heart of the tigress and you were very brave despite the odds were against you. You took your own body to protect Kazaka and talked smack to your ex-dad and Den. In fact, you were the bravest girl we had ever met. Too bad your ex-dad tried to take you hostage and failed when Kazaka threw the heart on his face."
"Ayami. I'm really sorry about whatever happened to you and your mother when you both were tormented by him before and whatever you he and the goons did to you both as well as Rosie in your house. I..." The principal cried a bit, "I couldn't do anything other than hoping that you are all okay but whatever you did yesterday, I would have been really proud of you. You showed that having an heart and soul is enough to overcome the obstacles."
"That's okay and thank you." Ayami smiled.
"Thank you for the condolence." Ayami's grandmother cried a bit.
"Kazaka. I'm really sorry for whatever happened to you last night. I...I couldn't even imagine what could had happen to your parents or how could I deliver this to the school if you had died."
"I'm alright now." Kazaka said.
"Believe me guys. When Matt told me about what happened last night, I couldn't even control my tears as to what had happened to you two. I was really worried and scared cause you both are my students and I couldn't even believe that something like this could have happened to you two."
"Glad you share the concern." Sparks said in which Rosie nodded and smiled.
"Well even though the execution of Den the traitor gave me some relief, it brought me another worry. Whatever your ex-father did would definitely hit the headlines as well as the last night one. If your names end up being on the newspaper and on TV, then your lives are gonna be so hectic when you step outside."
It was then everyone soon realized.
"Oh Man." The human couple sighed.
"You are right. This is really concerning." The Mayor said.
"That was what I was worried about as well." Matt said.
"Does it mean that their school lives will be over?" Rosie gasped.
"Not over. Pck! Hectic. Hectic." The parrot said.
"Is there any way we can make their names anonymous?" Ayami's grandmother asked.
Suddenly they could hear a voice saying:
"And we'll be able to do it. We can help."
They then turned around to the direction of the voice. Guess who it is? It's the Chief and Max!
"Chief!" Kazaka said in surprise.
"Max!" The Mayor said in surprise.
"Oh Kazaka! I'm so glad you are okay!" The Chief said in relief.
"Yeah. What a relief." Max said.
The Chief and Max then approached them.
"What happened to your right hand?" The Chief gasped at Ayami and even the principal took notice.
"Oh this?" Ayami saw her right bandaged hand, "Oh. I had to smash the window to get in cause there was no other way."
"Right..." Ayami's grandmother sighed.
Silence occurred for a moment before Kazaka asked:
"Are you that Max the Mayor and others are talking about?"
"Oh yes. You were unconscious at that time so yeah. I'm Max, one of the police officers from Animal Island." Max said, "I think you know already how we got here but the difference is that I was found by the Chief. How did he find me that I was from Animal Island? Well I got this one on my necklace and the cat came out of the bag really early. I was a bit weak at that time though."
"Well not only that, he accidentally talked by saying 'No.'." The Chief grinned.
"Ah yeah...right."
Some laughter took place before the Chief asked:
"Oh by the way, who are you by the way?"
"Oh me?" The principal asked, "I'm the principal of the school Kazaka and Ayami goes to. I know the Animal Island from..."
"I guess that explains it." Max said as he points at Matt.
"Hi." Matt smiled.
"Yo."
"Wow. That's really awesome." The Chief said in awe, "The principal came. I really love those humanity acts."
"Thanks but I didn't actually came here as a principal. I came here as a concerned human being." The principal said, "After Matt told me what had happened, I thought that I would faint."
"Believe me. My reaction was far more shocking seeing him bleeding."
"I know. Must be painful right?"
"Definitely but I'm glad he is alright."
"That's the most important part."
Everyone nodded except Kazaka who sighed before the Principal asked:
"I'm sure that you heard the execution of Den right?"
"Den the traitor?" Chief asked, "Yeah. Max told me."
"And that brings huge relief for us." Sparks said.
"Yeah. I guess all animals here present witnessed it." The Mayor said.
"Pck! Indeed!" The parrot said.
"Would anyone like to share the details of what happened?" Ayami's grandmother asked.
"It will be too gory to say. You already had seen what happened last night and it's really amazing that you hadn't fainted." Matt said.
"I think it's for the best that we all move on from there." Ayami said, "He's gone and the spirits can rest a bit easy now."
"Right. Maybe we can just forget about him." The Mayor said, "He already got his death sentence."
The others nodded as silence occurred for a while before Rosie said:
"Den is gone but Ayami's ex-father hasn't."
The others soon realized it and groaned.
"Oh Yeah. You asked that how can we make the names anonymous right?" The Chief asked in which the principal nodded, "I do have an idea. I'll go to the trial myself."
"Whoa!" The others are in awe.
"Really?" Kazaka asked.
"How so? It seems that you know this guy." The principal said.
"Yeah. Even before the Animal Island incident, he was a lot of trouble when he was in Tokyo." The Chief said, "And now committing genocide, attempted killing, lying to the public, attempted r-word and domestic assault are now on his list."
"That genocide should simply be enough to raise public's fury." The Mayor said.
"I never asked this but was he doing business?" Matt asked in which Ayami nodded, "Oh."
"Matt told me everything about what had happened." The principal said.
"Yeah but I need to record the statements from Ayami about what had happened last night. You too Kazaka." The Chief said, "I already had recorded about what he, Den and those goons did to you and your mother. I'm pretty sure some animals also witnessed it rather than hearing it so would anyone lend me a hand of it?"
"Pck. Me, Sparks, Rosie saw all and the Mayor saw some of it." The parrot said.
"Indeed. The bigger, the better." The Mayor said in which the Chief nodded.
"We'll say it." Sparks and Rosie said.
"Is it possible to say it now?" Kazaka asked.
"No. Not in your condition." The Chief said, "It's a miracle that you are okay like this despite the beating you got."
"Yes. You must rest for now." Ayami's grandmother said.
"True. After that time of beating you got, it's amazing that you are still alright." The principal said.
"Take it easy now Kazaka. We'll say it together." Ayami said.
"Boy I can't wait to see the public's reaction when they hear it." Matt said.
"Same here." Max said.
Everyone chuckled and smiled for a moment before they could hear a knock from the nurse in which they turned around and then the nurse said:
"I don't know what's going on but there is a female who said that they want to visit you cause it's really important."
Everyone got a bit confused.
"Okay...Send her in." The Chief said in confusion.
The nurse nodded and left. Minutes later, they got a shock of their lives.
"It's...It's..." Kazaka gasped in shock.
"Uh...do we know you?" Ayami's grandmother asked.
"No. Not really." A woman said, "But you can say that I'm kinda one of the government officials."
Everybody gasped in awe and shock.
"Wh..." The principal said in shock.
"Whoa!" Ayami said in surprise.
"Yes. I know it's very rare that someone from a position like me to come and visit a civilian." A government official said, "But I came here because of the similar topic you guys have been talking about."
"Really? How so?" The Chief asked.
"Come with me."
And so she enters and coming along with her is a female lioness who is wearing glasses. The animals are in awe when they saw her.
"Whoa!" Sparks and Rosie said in awe.
"Is that who I think it is?" Max asked.
"It sure is." The Mayor said.
"You guys know her?" Kazaka asked.
"Pck! We do indeed!" The parrot said.
"We saw her last night." Matt said in which the animals nodded.
"Really? That's amazing." Ayami's grandmother said.
"Hello there human adults and children. I'm Jane." The female lioness introduced herself with a smile, "I was one of the governors of the Animal Island till that traitor Den and the other bad guys destroyed it. All of you knew what happened next but I actually drifted on a remote place of Kyoto where she found me. It won't be wrong for you to guys think that she would freak out when she sees a lioness in Japan. Well she did so a bit but later on, we got an understanding of each other after I also freaked out a bit when accidentally asking as to where I was which was how she knew I talked. Long story of what happened next but I also met the Mayor on the way so I spent most of my time on the base to avoid getting spotted roaming around by the other people. I didn't take part of the battle but I was one who were at the controlling center where we monitor the areas around of them marching on. I also witnessed the execution of Den which gave me immerse relief that at least one part of the devil is gone. Soon I met her again and she then asked what was going on since she heard and saw lots of noise at night. So I told everything about what had happened which included what happened to you too. Oh and I also attended the Mayor's speech."
"Oh!" The humans said.
"But since you are here, won't the media come around?" The principal asked worriedly.
"Not this time. I asked for privacy and they had to oblige it." The government official said before sighing, "You two. I'm really sorry as to whatever happened to you two last night and the days before. It really shook me to the core as to something like this happening to you two when you are still students. Jane told me everything."
"That's okay. Thanks for the concern." Ayami said.
"If you want, I'll be able to pay for the treatment."
"That's okay. Thanks for the offer but the doctor said I'm fine and just need some check up." Kazaka said, "And I'll be released tomorrow."
"Well that's really good to hear. I was really concerned when she described the injuries you had received. That was unacceptable."
"Yeah. I would have freaked out myself if it were my own child." Jane said.
"We all would." The Mayor said in which everyone nodded.
"Well I really don't want to make you two uncomfortable with the family history you had but I'll make sure that your ex-father will never set foot outside again, especially what he and Den did to the Animal Island which definitely will cause an uproar." The government official said.
"Oh believe me. I have everything on my notes with the exception of what he did to them last night which I'll record it when he gets released from hospital." The Chief said, "And believe me. It's massive."
"Massive indeed." Max said.
"Well that's good to hear." The government official said.
"But I would rather have them anonymous because if their names hits up on the media then their lives will be hectic." The principal said.
"You got a good point there. I'll see what can be done."
"Actually I'll be saying it since even before that, he caused a lot of problems in Tokyo." The Chief said.
"Okay then. While we wait for the trial to happen, we wish you all the best and hope that those injuries can heal soon."
"Thank you ma'am." Kazaka bowed.
Silence occurred for a moment before her grandmother said:
"Well if there is one thing that's becoming common in here, it's that whatever background or professional we are coming from, we are all gathering together cause of the Animal Island spirits." Ayami's grandmother said.
"I agree. Today I came here as a concerned human being also." The principal said.
"Yeah." The government official said before realizing something, "Oh yes I almost forgot. Jane also told me this. Despite whatever happened to you two last night, you displayed an utmost courage and bravery despite the odds that went against you. I couldn't have been more proud of it."
"Yeah. Who knows what could have happened if you didn't break in in time or giving us the time for the other animals to break into the enemies base. It could have been horrible but it didn't happen thankfully thanks to you." Jane said.
"Arigato." Ayami smiled before saying, "Though I had to admit that it was my instincts that made me act like that."
"It doesn't matter. In the end, thanks to you, we were able to take our revenge, capture and, later on, executed Den the traitor and had your ex-father arrested though he was badly injured too."
"I can't wait to see the reaction of his face like I said. It's gonna be hilarious." Matt said.
"Especially when his sweat will come out." Max chuckled.
"Whoa Whoa wait. Don't forget that there will be some defendants coming up to defend him so we need to get ready for that." The Mayor said.
"Don't worry. We are gonna search each and every one of the houses he lived but we will need some co-operation from your mother as well Ayami." The Chief said.
"Okay." Ayami nodded.
"Yeah. The bigger, the better." Sparks said.
"If we were the judges, what would it be?" Rosie asked.
"Pck! Guilty! Guilty!" The parrot said.
"Well you sure are funny." Kazaka said.
Everyone then shared a small laughter that was needed when suddenly there was a knock from the nurse.
"I don't really what's going on but there's two gentlemen who wants to meet you." The nurse sighed in which everyone got confused.
"Send them in." The Chief sighed.
"All off a sudden, I'm having been visited by ones whom I thought won't even make a public appearance based on it." Kazaka said, feeling confused.
The nurse nodded and sighed. Minutes later, they got a shock of their lives again.
"Soldiers!" The principal said in awe.
"Hello there citizens." A soldier said as they gave their salute, "I'm Lt. Takashi and this is the captain of the navy, Sorothi."
"Wow. I would never have thought to see you guys here." The Chief said.
"I know. Same here." Sorothi said, "But we came here this time cause we have similar interest you guys are talking about."
"I have a feeling that this would be the reason." The government official said, "Is it that Animal Island reason?"
"Yes it is ma'am." Lt. Takashi said before asking, "Are the animals okay?"
"Yes we are." The Mayor said only to realize, "Oops..."
Everyone giggled a bit.
"It's okay. We actually knew you can talk." Lt. Takashi said, "Come say hi to your commander."
And soon a dog commander came in which everyone is in awe.
"Is that him?" Jane asked in awe.
"It is him." Matt said in awe.
"Wow! But...But he's been bandaged." Sparks said.
"What happened?" Rosie asked.
"Pck! He seems hurt." The parrot said.
"Oh Dear." Ayami's grandmother said.
"I'm not really hurt right now but before, it hurted like hell." The dog commander said, "Hello there people. I was the dog commander of the Animal Island where we are assigned to keep the situation under control should things go volatile. Everything was peaceful until those goons attacked and destroyed the island. My leg suffered a bad cut when I had to flee cowardly cause it was impossible to fight them. And I drifted, thinking I was going to die cause of the blood loss and it would have been better for me. But when I woke up, I was sleeping on a bed I the army base and when I opened my eyes, he came and inspected me and asked if I was okay and that the Animal Island badge I got was safe with them. He even said that he heard me talking about shame and death when he found me. Sighing and knowing that there's no way to hide it now, I explained everything and when I tried to get up, I collapsed."
"I'm extremely sorry to hear that." The Mayor said sadly, "And don't worry about it. No one saw it coming."
"Yeah but luckily, I got in contact with the horse general and he told me everything: How the Animal Island got attacked, the traitor Den, what happened to the ones who knew about the Animal Island, the battle, the capture and execution of Den, etc EVERYTHING. And after hearing all of this which included where the hospital is, I just want to say that thank you all for playing your part in the victory, especially to your human friends. You were a very brave girl and courageous and for you boy, your refusal to answer the demands had given them time to attack and for her to protect you. Thank you all and the spirits of the Animal Island will be thankful to you all as well."
"Yeah. No problem." Kazaka smiled.
"Arigato. But it was just my sudden reaction and instincts that made me act like that." Ayami said.
Silence occurred for a moment before the government official asked:
"What about you?"
"Oh me?" Sorothi asked in which everyone nodded, "Well here it is."
Sorothi then reveals a kitten in which she looks at them and then turns around, feeling shy.
"Awwww!" Everyone smiled.
"She's kawaii." Ayami smiled.
"She sure is." Jane said.
"What happened to her?" The Mayor asked.
"Well while we were doing our typical navy duty, I happened to discover her drifting being unconscious and full of tears." Sorothi explained, "We were able to pick her up and then I soon saw her having a locket which contains her parents. I then took her home and then the next morning, my daughter told me that she was crying and I rushed to the kitten when she said "Mamma...Papa...Animal Island...gone...all gone...". I was shocked that she could speak and I was not the only one. There are several of my men who shared the same story but with different baby animals, all crying and telling about 'Animal Island'. So I called him and he told me to come with me. I didn't know what was going on at that time but now I know everything."
Everyone is in shock and very sad.
"Oh Dear." The government official said sadly.
"We are very sorry to hear about her." Max said sadly.
"Yeah. It's truly terrible." Ayami's grandmother said.
"That's the sorry state of the post invasion." The Mayor sighed, "Animals dead or drifted away and never found."
"Pck. Yeah." The parrot said.
"Well at least the traitor is executed so they can rest in peace." Jane said.
"Perhaps we can adopt her?" Rosie asked.
"Thanks for the offer but she's actually use to us now." Sorothi said, "She enjoys my daughter's company."
"Oh. Well if you say so." Sparks said.
"Tha...Thank you." The kitten said.
"She said thank you." Sorothi said in which everyone smiled.
Silence soon occurred for a moment till Lt. Takashi said to Ayami:
"We don't want to bring you discomfort by bringing up your history with your ex-dad but he also did some terrible stuff to you right? *Ayami nodded* What we want is giving him the most harshest punishment the trial had enough given."
"Trial of the century!" Matt proclaimed in which everybody nodded.
"Exactly. He also did a host of bad things as the horse general said." The dog commander said.
"And to put the wounded salt on top, the genocide of the Animal Island." Sorothi said in which everyone nodded, "Finishing Den had removed only half of our worries."
"Oh don't worry. I nearly have everything ready." The Chief said.
"Say. I've got a good idea." The government official said, "I'll notify to you all later."
"Aside from that, we wish you a speedy recovery." Lt. Takashi said as he gave a salute.
"Thank you. I'll be released tomorrow though." Kazaka said.
"That's good to hear." Sorothi smiled.
They all nodded and smiled for a while when a knock sound can be heard and a doctor's voice can be heard saying:
"I don't know what's going on but there's a foreigner who says he desperately wants to meet you and he knows Kazaka when he was 8-9 years old."
"Whoa!" Everyone said in awe.
"Just bring him here." The government official said.
The doctor nodded. Minutes later, they again got a shock of their life.
"Wait. Who are you?" The Chief asked in confusion.
"Sshhh." A foreigner hushed and he then soon comes back with a joey (baby kangaroo) in his hand, "Easy mates."
The others soon got surprised when the foreigner approaches them and soon takes a seat and the joey hoped beside him.
"Hi." A joey smiled.
"Whoa. It talked." Ayami said in awe.
"Wait a sec. I know you." A government official gasped, "Are you a...?"
"Yes Yes. Quiet down." A foreigner said.
"Okay..."
"Wait. Are you the Australian ambassador?" Kazaka asked slowly.
"Well the cat's out of the bag." The Australian ambassador sighed.
Everybody gasped in awe and they couldn't hide their excitement but they decided to keep it silence.
"Wow! I would never have thought of seeing someone very important." The principal said in awe.
"Yeah. It feels like I'm in a dream right now." Ayami's grandmother said in which the parrot squawked.
"Yes I know that it's very rare for me to come here but given the circumstances that took place yesterday night and when one of my employees told me who was injured and what was happening, I was shock that I felt the need to come and visit the boy to see if he's okay." The Australian ambassador said.
"And how were you able to come here unnoticed?" The government official couldn't help but giggle a bit.
"Well I had to wear this casual one and go there in disguise. Obviously, if the media finds me then they are gonna spring on me which I wouldn't want that to happen. Once I entered unnoticed, I showed my documents to the reception to prove that I know him. Actually I came here before but when I saw those animals on the room, I had to rush back to bring the joey here and I didn't even allow my wife to come with me due to the fear of the media."
"Understandable." Lt. Takashi said.
"But how do you know Kazaka sir?" Ayami asked curiously.
"I remember him when he was 8-9 years old that he and his parents came cause they want to go to Sydney and Gold Coast and they need help with the travel documents so I had to help them. Meanwhile, he was placed in the playground area where, thanks to my mistake, he was placed in the same area where my son is. Despite that, there was no chaos and I was able to say goodbye to him when they left. My child still talks about him." The Australian ambassador said.
"Oh!" Everybody ohhhhed.
"Ah. Now I remember. You were a secretary at that time." Kazaka said.
"True but now since I'm the ambassador, I had to disguise myself by wearing casual clothes." The Australian ambassador said.
"That's amazing. That you still remember him." The principal said.
"Yep."
Silence occurred for a moment in which everybody smiled before the Australian ambassador explained:
"Okay now for the main one. This is a joey, the Australian word for baby kangaroo. Me and my wife found him drifted and lying down on the beaches of Tokyo and there was a picture of him and his mother. Soon we had to keep him in our place where he finally woke up after a while and started crying about his mother and that place called Animal Island being destroyed. He was really and scared and he seemed sacred from what had happened. He wad also scared of us when he discovered that I was an Australian, he soon calmed down and he was able to tell about the place and how it got destroyed. Now it seems that most of you know the full story of it. So can anyone explain to me the whole thing?"
"Papa! Mayor!" The joey said happily.
"Oh and he now calls me papa."
Everyone chuckled.
"Time for a full explanation looks like." The Chief said.
And so the full explanation was given to the Australian ambassador: How it got destroyed, the culprits, the other horrible crime they did, the traitor Den, the kidnapping, the battle and the execution. The animals also introduced themselves.
After all the explanations had been given, the Australian ambassador was shocked and said:
"I don't believe it! He, who I thought was doing an honest business, is actually a liar and a mindless monster beast!"
"Mama!" The joey cried in which everybody is sad and some even teared up a bit.
"There There. Poor joey. He lost his mother thanks to that traitorous bloody dog whom I'm so glad that he's dead and that liar!"
"He's not the only one." Sorothi said, "This kitten I'm holding right now had lost her parents."
"Darn..."
"It's not only us. There are many of the others whom we don't know where there are." The Mayor said, "Some could have died or drifted away."
"Yeah." Max said.
Everyone nodded and sighed a bit before the Australian ambassador said:
"Kazaka, Ayami and to all the animals that are here from Animal Island, I'm really sorry to hear that all of you had to suffer the wrath of that traitor and that monster liar! And Ayami, send my condolence to your mother and just refer to me as a Foreigner who knew Kazaka when he was 8-9 years old. Oh and I applaud your bravery that you showed when you stood up against your evil ex-father."
"Thank you." Ayami smiled before saying, "But I notice that you look really guilty."
"I do cause I brought his products without knowing his true color."
"That's okay. Now that you heard it, you can throw away his products now." Jane said.
"I will indeed. Kazaka, if you need any money help, you can always let me know."
"Thank you sir." Kazaka smiled.
"Kazaka! Kazaka!" The joey said happily in which everybody smiled.
Soon the Australian ambassador said angrily:
"As for this liar, he must never ever be set free ever again for what he did!"
"Oh and we are almost nearly ready for it." The Chief said.
"The government official had said that she had an idea but she will tell us later." The dog commander said.
"Yeah. He must pay." Matt said.
"Pck! Indeed!" The parrot said.
"True." The government official said.
"Agreed." The cat couple said.
"Yes." The Mayor said.
"If you want me to be part of it then I'll definitely accept it. Especially, if the poor joey can get some closure and peace from the torment he had to face." The Australian ambassador said.
"Papa!" The joey said.
"If there's one thing I can say, it's that no matter which professional we are coming from, we are all in this together." Ayami's grandmother said.
"I agree. We are all united against that bastard." Lt. Takashi said before apologizing, "Excuse my language."
"True." Sorothi said as he holds the kitten.
"Yep." Jane said.
"Yeah. I might need to stay in Kyoto for a while looks like." The Australian ambassador said.
Everybody nodded as silence occurred for a moment before another knock sound can be heard and a doctor's voice can be heard saying:
"I'm so sorry for the continuous knocking but there's someone who says that she desperately wants to come here and she knows Ayami."
"Oh boy. Just bring her here." The government official sighed.
The doctor nodded. Minutes later, they again got a shock of their lives.
A woman then entered and soon simply said:
"Hello everyone."
Ayami gasped in shock as she stood up.
"Aunty?" Ayami asked in awe.
"Aunty?!" Everyone also said.
"Hey there everyone. I heard what had happened so I came here as soon as possible." A woman said.
Ayami then soon ran to hug her.
"I can't believe that you are here too." Ayami said happily.
"Yeah. Your mom told me everything about what had happened so I came here as soon as possible." Ayami's aunt asked, "Kazaka. Are you okay? How are your injuries?"
"I'm sure that she told you about me." Kazaka said in which she nodded, "Yeah I'm okay. Just have to have some bandages on my face though for a while."
"I see. Say aren't you one of the government officials?"
"Ah...yeah." The government official said.
"Aren't you the Australian ambassador?"
"Wait...how?' The Australian ambassador asked in shock.
"Aren't you the Lt of the army and the captain of the navy?"
"Yes?" They both asked.
"And aren't you those talking animals?"
The animals couldn't believe their eyes and ears.
"And how exactly do you know about them?" The principal asked.
"Well I work in the media..."
"OH NO!" They all cried out.
"Wait! Wait! Let me explain! I came alone! The media is not there! I just came here as a concerned aunt of Ayami."
Everybody sighed in relief.
"Plus I got someone whom you might recognized." Ayami's aunt said, "Come on in."
And pretty soon, a snow leopard came and pretty soon the animals, except the kitten and the joey, had their mouths drop in shock.
"Hey is that..." Max said in shock.
"That's Risa!" Rosie said in awe.
"Risa! Risa!" The joey said happily.
"You know her?" Ayami's grandmother asked.
"Pck! Indeed!" The parrot said.
"Yeah. She was the most popular figure of the Animal Island media." The Mayor said.
"Oh!" The humans oohhhed.
"Risa! Risa!" The joey said happily.
"No wonder." The Australian ambassador said.
"Hello everyone. Missed me?" The snow leopard asked, "I'm sorry that I haven't been in contact with you for a long time but I was scared of going out ever again until one of my bird friend spotted me and told me about what had happened and thus early in the morning, he told me which hospital you were in so we both came here as soon as possible."
"Bird friend or boyfriend?" Sparks smirked.
"Bird friend! Bird friend!"
Everyone laughed.
"So can anyone tell me what happened with all those Animal Island stuffs?" Ayami's aunt said, "I found her drifted on the beach and I freaked out upon seeing her and I took her to my home. Long short story as to how I found her talked but she was able to tell me about the place she lived and how it got destroyed."
"Here comes a long explanation." Lt. Takashi said.
And so they said the same explanation they said it to the Australian ambassador which really shocked the snow leopard while Ayami's aunty groaned.
"That fatso. I knew he was never trusted from the start." Ayami's aunt said.
"And I can't believe that one of our ones will be responsible for all the loss." A snow leopard said in shock.
"Well these are the facts sadly." The Mayor said.
"Yeah." Ayami said, "And we all experienced it."
"Even I heard it for the first time." The Australian ambassador said, "But if the main party got involved which are the talking animals then it's really hard to deny the facts."
"Yes. I guess it's true." Ayami's aunt said.
"What happened to Den now?" Risa asked.
"Executed. Half of our torment is gone." Matt said.
"And half is still remaining." Sotori said, "Which is the trial."
"Yeah and I almost got all the facts ready." The Chief said.
"A long list of crimes he did." The government official said.
"And the genocide of the Animal Island to put the sour cherry on top." Jane said in which everybody nodded and groaned.
"Yeah." The dog commander said.
"It's nice for us that we all come together to share the pain we all had." The Mayor said.
"I agree." Sparks said.
"Kazaka, Ayami. I'm so sorry to hear about what had happened to you too. I could have done something but..." Ayami's aunt sighed and teared up a bit.
"It's okay aunty." Ayami said, "Whatever happened had happened."
"Plus it's all over now." Kazaka said.
"Just only the trial is left." The Mayor said.
They all nodded and sighed before Ayami's grandmother said:
"As I have said before, we may have come from different backgrounds, positions and professionals but today, we all come together cause we all have the Animal Island friends and their lives as well as some of our lives have been affected in a very bad way."
"Yes Grandma." Ayami said.
"I agree." Kazaka said.
"Same here." The principal said.
"Yes indeed." Lt. Takashi said.
"Poor kitty. There There." Sorothi said.
"Yeah. And soon we are all gonna reunite against that fat man!" The Australian ambassador said in which everybody nodded.
"Papa!" The joey said in which the Australian ambassador comforted him.
"Yeah. He is soooooooooooo busted!" The Chief said in which everyone nodded.
"For what he did to us." Sparks said.
"For what he did to our human friends." Rosie said.
"Uh. What about Den the traitor?" Risa asked, "Wasn't he responsible for all this from the start?"
"Yes it's true but we executed him." The Mayor said, "He will forever be in the history books as the traitor who destroyed the very island our Founding Father worked so hard to build."
"Forever in the Hall of Shame." Max said.
"Pck! Yes!" The parrot squawked.
"All because of losing in an election." Matt groaned, "Give me a break."
"Yeah. Most stupidities reason ever." The dog commander agreed.
"I sometimes have a tingering feeling that either a doctor or a nurse is going to knock and say that some one wants to see us and it's due to the Animal Island one." The government official said, "So let's wait."
They all nodded and waited for a while till Jane said:
"Nope. Not this time."
Everyone sighed in relief.
"Kazaka and Ayami. If you want your names anonymous, I can talk to the media to..." Ayami's aunt is about to say when suddenly...
"YES!" Everybody spoke at once and pleaded.
"Please don't include their names. If their names are their, then their lives are gonna be so hectic!" The principal pleaded, "They are only students."
"Yes. Please don't bring the media in front of them cause of what had happened." The Mayor pleaded.
"I won't care if you include my name but please leave their names alone from the media from sometime." The Australian ambassador said.
"Yes please?" The dog commander pleaded.
"Please?" The cat couple pleaded.
"Pretty please?" The two soldiers pleaded in which the government official sweatdropped and chuckled a bit.
And so they all continue to plead.
"Alright Alright. I know now. Your names will be made anonymous." Ayami's aunt said, "I was only asking them cause I even know myself as to what would have happened to them so I just want you make sure."
Everybody nodded, smiled and sighed in relief before Risa said:
"But you cannot hide from saying that you were the ones that had to witness it. You will eventually have to reveal yourself one day."
"Yes." Ayami nodded.
"I have everything ready." The Chief said, "Just you both need to tell us as to what had happened moments before the bloody battle took place."
"Okay." Sparks, Rosie and the parrot nodded.
"Understood." Kazaka said when he suddenly realizes something, "My...My phone."
"I have your phone. It nearly fell from your pocket when you were transported to the ambulance." Ayami said as she shows Kazaka's phone and gives it to him.
"Such a wonderful granddaughter I have." Ayami's grandmother said in which everybody smiled.
"You didn't really have to embarrass me like that..."
Everyone chuckled a bit as Kazaka is checking something on his phone.
"What you're looking at?" The Chief asked.
"Something important to show you all." Kazaka said till he found it, "There!"
He showed the pictures to everyone. Upon recognizing it, Jane gasped:
"Wait. Is that..."
"Yeah. These are the pictures of the destruction of the Animal Island." Kazaka said, "The Mayor and Rachael teleported me, Ayami, Sparks and Rosie to that island that was destroyed and we explored it. I took pictures with my mobile phone every path of destruction I could fine. I know this is wrong and felt incredibly guilty about it but I know that now the issue of trial is coming up, I thought these might be useful. Ayami's grandmother and the parrot were also there before we arrived."
Everybody gasped in shock when they looked at the pictures.
"Oh Yeah. Now I remember." Ayami's grandmother said while the parrot squaked.
"Oh My God! The destruction!" The principal gasped in shock as she covers her mouth.
"Don't look joey. These ain't those pretty pictures for ya." The Australian ambassador as he covers joey's eyes.
"What's going on?" The kitten tried to turn around.
"Don't look." Sorothi said, "This will give you nightmares again."
"Yeah. This is genocide." Lt. Takashi said in shock.
"I don't know whether to condemn you or applaud you." The dog commander sighed, "On one hand, what you did was wrong but on the other hand, they will certainly come in handy for the trial."
"Yep. That will definitely create an uproar." Matt said.
"Yeah. These will come in handy indeed." Sparks said.
"Darn! From the looks of it, it looked like a good place to live for all you animals." The government official said.
"Yeah. And now it's destroyed." Rosie sighed.
"Oh this guy is soooooooooo gonna get it what's coming for him!" Risa growled.
"Yeah. These are unacceptable crimes." Ayami's aunt said.
"Agreed. Too unacceptable for forgiveness." The Australian ambassador said.
"That's what Den tried to do but no forgiveness can replace the sins they did." The Mayor said in which everyone nodded.
"Yeah! More evidence against that fatso!" Max said.
"Of course." The Chief said before asking, "Kazaka. Can I borrow your phone for today so that I can transfer those ones to my computer which will be used for the trial? I'll give it to you first thing in the morning when you get out of the hospital."
"Sure thing." Kazaka nodded.
The Chief thanked and smiled as silence occurred for a moment before Ayami said:
"Kazaka. We can now hope that we can resume our normal life, leaving behind the danger we had to endure forever."
She then puts her hand on Kazaka's hand.
"Yeah. I can't wait to welcome you back." The principal smiled as she does the same.
"Hope those injuries can recover quickly." Ayami's grandmother said as she does the same.
"We salute both of your bravery." Lt. Takashi smiled as he gave a salute before doing the same.
"Same." Sorothi said as he also gave a salute before doing the same.
"Yeah. We'll soon put those tragedy and horror behind us." The Chief said as he does the same.
"Yep. Hopefully that fatso will also get what he did to you both." The Australian ambassador smiled as he does the same.
"We wish you a speedy recovery." The government official smiled as she does the same.
"Yeah. We can see each other more often from now on." Ayami's aunt smiled as she does the same, "We'll write every single crimes that he did."
"Until then, hope you get well." Risa said as she puts her paws on Kazaka's hand.
"You were my first human friend I had ever come across." Sparks smiled as he does the same.
"Yeah. Who knows what could have happened if you two probably would have never met." The Mayor smiled as he does the same.
"Or maybe me and Ayami." Rosie said as she does the same.
"Thank you for everything you and Ayami did for us last night." Max smiled as he does the same.
"Yeah. We are in your debt." The dog commander smiled as he does the same.
"Uncle!" The joey smiled as he does the same.
The kitten meowed as she does the same.
"Yes. We are forever grateful for what you did." Jane smiled as she does the same, "Now it's time for us to seek new light."
"Pck! Indeed." The parrot squawked as he does the same.
"Hey! Don't forget me!" Matt cried as he ran and he did the same.
Everyone chuckled a bit as silence occurred for a moment before Kazaka could tearfully happily say:
"Thank you."
Everyone smiled at him as silence occurred for a while before some voices can be heard:
"I don't it's a good time though."
"What do you mean? He's our son!"
And guess who's marching? None other than Kazaka's parents and relatives as well as Ayami's mother and when they saw what they saw...
"WHOA!" The parents and relatives said in awe.
"What's this? The principal? Two soldiers? A government official? A foreigner whom I think I know who it is?" Kazaka's mom asked in awe as the Australian ambassador gulped on the last question.
"Is that you?" Ayami's mom asked in awe when she saw Ayami's aunt before seeing her mother and asked, "Mother?"
"What's with those animals?" Kazaka's dad asked in awe.
"Can anyone tell us what's going on here?" Aunt Naoni asked.
"LLOOOONNNNGGGGG STTTTTOOORRRRYYYY!" Every human present said it together.
"Ooohh. I like long stories. Not that so called short stories they claim to be." Uncle Satori said in which everybody laughed a bit.
Me: Yep. And with that ends Chapter 24.
Sparks: And now it's time for the surprise right?
Me: That's right. Come on out Kazaka!
*And soon Kazaka comes out.*
Kazaka: Hey guys. Did I miss anything?
Sparks *happily*: Oh goodness! There you are! Where have you been?
*Cuddles Kazaka.*
Kazaka: There There.
Me: I have found him on the table but I told him to wait till the end of this chapter. And now we are all here.
Kazaka: Indeed.
*Silence occurred for a moment in which everybody smiled.*
Sparks: And what's the second thing you want to say?
Me: The second thing is that I would make a huge announcement at the end of this chapter.
Kazaka and Sparks: Whoa!
Me *smiling*: That's right. The next chapter which will include the announcement will be coming within a week or a week and a half so don't miss it!
Kazaka: And until then, please review and like this and his other stories as well as following and favouriting him.
Sparks: Yep. Stay tune for the next one.
Me: Yep. So until the next chapter comes, it's...
Kazaka and Sparks *waving their hands*: Sayonara!
Me *smiling*: Bye.
*We then all waved our hands.*
Me: Time to prepare my announcement speech.
Kazaka and Sparks: ^^
