Unwanted Call
He was running and stumbling though the forest. He was reaching his hand out and calling a name he could not quite make out. He saw a figure standing a few yards in front of him. He outstretched his hand to it and yelled the name again. He could see that the figure was a woman with long hair. She outstretched her hand to him and yelled his name.
His eyes widened as he saw someone come down behind her, stabbing a long knife into her. She screamed, and then it all went dark. He was running in complete darkness. He heard laughing. He knew the laughter very well. There was only one person that could laugh like that.
Farfello. Then if that was Farfello then the woman must have been. He felt his heart burst. Yuriko.
Ken sat up in bed with a start. He looked around and saw he was in bed. He sighed. Just another dream, he thought. He put his hands on his head. Why can't I forget? It's been a long time since I last killed or did anything with Weiss and I still have dreams about Farfello? Am I going insane? No I'm not. I just need time. Try to forget about it now.
He looked around. What was I woken up by? He heard a baby crying from the other room. He got up and went to the room. Yuriko was holding a baby, trying to calm it. He walked in.
"You need some help with her?" he asked.
"Yes Ken. She only falls asleep for you. I tell you, she's a daddy's girl," Yuriko smiled and handed him Sarah.
"Oh Sarah, are you giving your mother a hard time?" he asked.
Sarah stopped crying a little and looked at him. She looked just her father, dark brown hair and chocolate eyes. She had some of the facial fetchers of her mother but everyone said she looked like Ken. He sat down in the rocking chair and tried to get her to sleep. She tried to fight the sleep but Ken started to hum softly. Her little struggles finally stopped and he laid her in her crib. He walked out of the room and closed the door silently. He turned and looked at Yuriko.
"She's a asleep," he said.
"That's good. You know what? I knew that she was going to look like you or she was going to love soccer like you do," she said.
"And how did you know this?" he asked putting his arms around her waist.
"When I was carrying her, and whenever she kicked it was always firm and hard," she said and laid her head on his chest. "I'm just glad you came back to me."
Ken kissed the top of her head. She lifted her face to his and looked into his eyes. He bent over to kiss her when the phone rang. He growled a little but went over to the phone.
"Hello?" he asked when he picked it up.
"Ken? This is Omi," came a voice on the other end.
"Omi? I haven't heard from you in a long time," Ken said with a smile.
"Yes I know. I have been busy. But I have some good news and some bad news to tell you," Omi said.
"Give me the good news first," Ken said.
"We found out where Aya is," he said. "But he's dead."
Ken almost dropped the phone. "Dead? How?"
"He killed himself. I don't know why he did but he killed himself. I'm at the flower shop right now with his sister. She's not doing to well. I called Yohji and he is going to come over and help out. I was wondering if maybe you could come as well?" he asked.
"Yes over course. We will be there as soon as we can get packed and get on a plane," Ken said. "We'll see you soon Omi. Bye," Ken hung up and turned to Yuriko. "WE have to get packed and go back to Tokyo."
"Why?" she looked confused.
Ken was still trying to make himself believe it. Why did Omi have to call me and tell me that? he asked himself. I was doing fine thinking they were all alive and well.
"Aya's dead." Ken said.
