As usual, the world went on, oblivious to the danger and the heroes that
once walked in their midst. People turned on their radios and television
sets early the next morning to listen to reports of the strange explosions
that wracked Japan's center. And as expected, quite a few people were
supposedly hurt in the massive destruction that turned the core of the
Capsule Corperation into a standing ruin. However, though medics searched
high and low and specialists had to come in and study the queer markings
and puddles of blood in the dirt, strangely enough,...
no bodies were found...
~Decades later...~
"Ms. Kira? Ms. Kira...?"
Sounds...Voices in the background of the darkness.
"Ms. Kira. Wake up...There's something important you need to hear."
"Uhnnn..." Her own voice sounded strange and forlorn on her lips, making her cringe in fatigue. Slowly and not so surely, blue eyes opened to gaze unknowingly at a pale face.
"Ms. Kira..."
"W-Who..."
The most unexplainable cry sounded in the background to her fuzzy senses. It sounded familiar...as if it was to tell her something. Something she was missing...
"Ms. Kira...It's a boy."
"Nani?" she blinked.
"It's a boy. He's so beautiful, Ms. Kira...A beautiful baby boy."
Ms. Kira tried to stir beneath the hospital sheets, looking around to realize where she suddenly was.
"H-hospital...I...What am I..."
Another wail rose from somewhere beyond the two figures. She widened her eyes as rememberance glided through her mind.
"A..."
"Do you want to hold him, Ms. Kira?"
The bed bound woman nodded her head in a silent stupor.
"Yes....Please, I'd like that..."
The same nurse stood from her stooped position and whispered to another nurse nearest her who whispered to the doctor. Every one of them, clothed in white, bustled about the room calmly.
"You've been through a lot, Ms. Kira...I just want you to keep calm when holding him," the doctor murmured to her, a green bundle in his arms. "We don't want you becoming stressed in any way."
"Let me...Let me see..." she managed, holding out her hands with tears forming in her eyes. "Please...I want to see my little miracle..."
He nodded and lowered the wriggling form into her weak arms, pausing only to make sure she held it tightly to her.
"Careful..."
Pushing back the nimble cloth, a deep green that contrasted the white room so surprisingly, she came across a tiny pink pudgey face. It stared back up, it's features now calm with understandace.
Her lips curved to form an "o" as she inhaled with mixed emotions. "He's so..."
"He's beautiful..." a nurse repeated.
"Yes...He is."
"Ms. Kira?" The doctor suddenly piped in. His face, solemn and serious in every way, peered down at her. She looked up.
"We need you to sign a bit of paperwork later and such just to get a couple of things straight...and...We need to know, will your husband be in later?"
Her face fell. Looking down at the baby, she sighed with remorse.
"No...He wont be coming."
One of the nurses exlaimed an,"oh," quite rudely. Ms. Kira ignored the sound.
A sudden quiet flooded the room. However it was soon broken as one of the other nurses leaned into Ms. Kira thoughtfully.
"He's sure going to be a lucky baby..."
"Yes," she suddenly laughed. "I'm going to smother him in affection. Absolute, pure affection."
"Ms.Kira..." yet another broke in, some papers in hand and a pen scribbling with the other.
"Have you thought of a name?"
That made her pause. A name...She hadn't really been considering the idea lately.
"A name? A name...I..." She looked into the baby's eyes, their grayish hazels gazing back up with curiosity.
"A name..." A smile grazed her lips. "A name..."
The room seemed to slow as others waited to hear her finish.
"I think...I'll name you..."
She paused once again, her lips widening and a warmth filling her heart.
"Gokou."
