Chapter 4
It's well past soccer practice by now, thought Koushirou. He had been sitting on a park with Mimi sleeping softly by his shoulder. He wondered what could have break Mimi's posture of personality. He couldn't stand to see one of his close friends, like this. What've could've hurt her so bad? Could've someone died? Koushirou looked over his Mimi's face. Her hair drooped down along her face. She looks so peaceful, Koushiou thought. He brushed some of her hair away from her face. He knew beauty surrounded her face, but he could never admit it to himself. The raining had stopped a few minutes ago, and now became gentle breeze of mist from time to time. Koushirou was soaked with water but it didn't mind him. He had been sitting on the bench for an entire hour. It seemed to him that it was only a couple of minutes. His mind was full of thoughts of the peculiar things that had happened over the last three days. Practice for soccer was at six o'clock pm. It was now seven fifth-teen pm. The sun began to set. It was a beautiful sight. If only Mimi could see it now, he thought. It was no wonder the park was called Sun Set Valley Park. The brightness of the sun made it look beautiful through the gray clouds rolling across the sky. If she could only see it now, he thought once more. He looked over her face.
"I'll be always here when you need me, Mimi" he whispered.
After a few minutes, Mimi slowly woke up. She rubbed her eyes, and soon realized what had happened. Koushirou greeted her. She winced in pain as she tried to move her ankle. Koushirou noticed her ankle immediately. It had not been treated well for an more than an hour. Mimi tried to stand up with the help of Koushirou. It was impossible. An idea came to Koushirou's head.
"Mimi, let me carry you. I'll get you home faster that way." Koushirou insisted.
"Koushirou, that is very kind of you but my parents, will have a fit not knowing why I'm not home," answered Mimi, quietly.
"Then blame this whole ordeal on me…" Koushirou said.
"Koushirou, you know I can't… It's just not me-" she sighed "Koushirou, I know you want to help and all but, I just can't…I'm sorry" she said.
"Well, I'm going wherever you're going" Koushirou answered.
"You're such a good friend, Koushirou…" She said. Suddenly a police car pulled up. Mimi knew what had happened. Her parents became worried had jammed the lock to her door. When her parents saw that she was not there, they panicked and called a search police team for lost children. The police officer looked at them.
"Excuse me, but is your name, Takichawa Mimi?" The police officer asked, staring at Mimi.
"Yes, it is" answer Mimi, being very quiet. She knew she had to tell the police the truth. She explained her broken ankle, but did not explain why she went outside, or jumped off the roof. The policeman helped Mimi into the car. Mimi yelled goodbye to Koushirou, and thanked him, for being there when she needed help. Koushirou yelled goodbye as the car moved down the street. Koushirou walked down towards his house, thinking about what just happened. He was glad he was there for one of his close friends. Koushirou opened the door to his house, and walked in. He heard his parents talking about his adoption again. Koushirou didn't mind. After searching for his true family, two years back, he only found one picture of his family. It was black and white. It showed his Mom and Dad carrying him. He hid it under all his encyclopedias and text books on his shelf in his room. He never told the Izumi's yet. Koushirou acknowledged his mother and father once he came in. Dinner was sitting on the table. Probably been there for some time, he thought. He ate his dinner quietly and headed to his room to sleep. He remembered the test that was ahead of him tomorrow. Better get some good night sleep if I plan to ace another test, he thought. Koushirou quickly fell asleep dreaming once more.

"Mom, Dad please" Mimi said "I don't want to discuss anything about it." She laid on the sofa, trying to ignore her parent's concern.
"Oh, alright honey, but remember we're always here for you" they said. Mimi's ankle was bonded by some bondage her parents put for her. She took her crutches and headed towards her bedroom to sleep. She heard her parent's concerns about her safety ness. She had forgotten all her thoughts about West. She didn't care about him anymore. She soon fell asleep thinking about what had happened at the park bench.

It was Monday morning. The chalk in the physics class irritated the class's ears. The chalk board read "Test! Talking Prohibited!" The class took out their pencil's and soon started doing the test. Koushirou, as always, was done first. He had woken early to study. Five hundred words and phrases absorbed instantly into my small head of mine, he thought. Suddenly, a tall man with a black business suit walked in. He handed a note to Mr. Akiyama. Mr. Akiyama nodded his head, and called Koushirou to talk to him outside.
"Mr. Izumi, this man would like to talk to you privately." Mr. Akiyama said, as he left to attend to the class.
"Izumi Koushirou, correct? We have received some very critical news…" He said sternly.
