Chapter Thirteen: Anguish, Pain & Betrayal
Finally Yushi finished healing dozens of people and was playing with Miya. Together with Takeya, they were playing a kite which Miya had claimed that he made it himself. Exhausted, Yushi left the both of them playing with each other and laid on the carpet of grass. She looked up at the sky and smiled to herself at the beauty of it.
There was a combination of colours in the sky as the sun was setting. She closed her eyes for a while without knowing that she fell asleep.
~*~ Doctor Shiyasu started looking through a telephone directory, trying to find a famous TV station. When he found what he wanted to find, he grinned to himself and started dialing the number.
When the person at the other end answered the phone, Doctor Shiyasu started launching on his purpose of calling. The staff didn't believe in him at first but in the end was convinced by the seriousness in Doctor Shiyasu's tone.
"You people are gonna pay me back for this interesting news, right?" The excitement heard in his voice.
"Eh? Ah, sure. What's it you want?"
"I want you people to give me a big sum of money in return for the news for me to go to a university in the capital."
"Nani? That's a very big sum of money. Let me ask my boss first. Hang on." Murmurs and whispers in the other end of the phone could be heard.
Getting impatient, Doctor Shiyasu called out. "Hey, have you guys made your decision? If you don't hurry, she'll go away before you know it."
Then the person came back on the phone. "Yes, my boss agreed but make sure that she doesn't leave there before we get there, ok?"
"Of course but when are you people gonna arrive here?"
"Um.in a half an hour or so. Well, bye." The person hang up before he could say anything.
Doctor Shiyasu hang up the phone and grinned. His eyes gleamed with happiness. "This is the day. This is the day that I'll get some money to go for a university in the capital. I'll be a great doctor. I'll be the world's best doctor." He laughed loudly. "Yushi, just wait and see your retribution for not telling me your secret. Everyone's gonna will know your secret and think you are a freak.
~*~ She felt a tap on her shoulder and opened her eyes slowly and groggily. She saw Takeya looking down at her who squatted beside her on seeing her wake up.
"Hey Yushi, we better go home now, ne? Look at yourself, you are too tired already and it's getting late too."
She nodded and said. "We better find Yamisu too."
"Hai. Why don't I carry you on my back? You can sleep on my back too."
Yushi smiled at his caring tone and offer but shook her head. "I might too heavy for you."
"Oh come on, Yushi. I'm sure you are so heavy. Now come on, climb on my back." He offered his back.
Reluctant at first but then climbed on his back. She kissed him on his cheek and thanked. "Arigatoo."
Then Miya came up to them. "Yushi-nechan, come back soon, ok?"
She ruffled his hair and promised. "Yes, I promise."
Then Takeya with her on his back strode away, searching for Yamisu. Their search later took them to a lake where they found her playing with a few kids.
Upon hearing footsteps, Yamisu turned and smiled at Takeya. "Hey, it's time to go back?"
"Yeah." He turned his head to Yushi who was sleeping. "Yushi's tired."
"Soka." She looked back at the kids and grinned at them. "I have to go now. Hope to see you kids again. Bye."
The kids waved goodbye to her sadly.
They headed to Takeya's car and went pass a block when they heard a voice saying," there they are" then loud footsteps.
A crowd of people appeared behind them, couple of them with cameras, some with their notepads and some with microphones with their cameramen.
Puzzled why there was a big crowd of reporters, Takeya asked. "What's going on?"
Doctor Shiyasu came forward and pointed at Yushi. "That's her, the girl with magical healing powers."
The reporters started clicking their cameras, taking pictures of Yushi. A few came up to ask Takeya what his relationship with Yushi is.
Shocked, Takeya couldn't move then he felt a movement on his back. Yushi had woken up due to the blinding flashlights of the cameras. She was surprised too to see so many reporters.
One of the reporters came and asked her. "Yushi-san, how does it feel like having powers? To be different from so many people?" The questions went on and on without waiting for Yushi to answer.
Yushi stammered. "How..how?" She got off from Takeya's back then Doctor Shiyasu came over and whispered in her ear.
"Your boyfriend told me about it?" He smiled smugly when saw anguish and pain shown on her face.
Tears started watering her eyes and she turned and ran as fast as she could away from the mob of people, away from Doctor Shiyasu and away from Takeya.
Takeya ran after her along with Yamisu but they couldn't find her. During the ride to home, Yamisu inquired.
"How did those reporters know it?"
"I..I don't know." Takeya shook his head then he remembered. "Doctor Shiyasu. He must have not known Yushi's secret and he tricked me into exposing her secret in some way."
A look of disbelief shown on her face then she nodded. "Yes, it must be. Yushi told me that he doesn't know about her secret."
The next day of school, Yushi didn't come to school leaving the two worried about her. She was all anyone could talk about. Some said she was a freak, some wrinkled their face in disgust for having such an extraordinary person in their school and some sympathized her as her secret was out.
Takeya and Yamisu went to the village the following day to explain things for Yushi to the villagers who had also known about Yushi's secret as it was all over the newspapers.
Miya was the first one to come up to them, asking them where Yushi is.
The both shared a look then Takeya told him the sad news. "Yushi.she is gone. We can't find her anywhere.not even her house."
Crushed, Miya's face fell upon hearing it then he said. "We all here understand Yushi-nechan. After all, she always comes to cure us from our sickness and we are very thankful to her." Then a hopeful look came across his face. "If you see Yushi-nechan again, be sure to ask her to come and see all of us soon, ne?"
Takeya smiled and nodded then he caught sight of Doctor Shiyasu covered with bruises and his clothes were dirty and torn. Anger surged in his body and he sauntered towards him. He grabbed him by his shirt and spoke angrily. "Why did you expose Yushi's secret?"
Laughing bitterly then he replied. "Why? I'm jealous of her for having such an extraordinary power and the TV station promised to give me a sum of money for me to study in a university in Tokyo." He laughed again. "But they lied to me, all the crap they said about giving me the money but they didn't."
"You deserve it after what you did to her. Yushi's gone. She disappeared to who knows where. She'll never come back to me anymore after what you did to her."
A guilty look shown on his face then tears started streaming down his cheek. "Yushi-san.gomen."
"Whatever you say now won't change the fact of what you did to her. Being guilty won't help too. Just to achieve your dream, you just reveal her secret just like that. You inconsiderate thing." He started beating up Doctor Shiyasu who did not defend himself or fight back.
Yamisu just stood there, crying.
Guilt won't change the fact of what you did. If knowing the consequences, why did you do it? Regret and guilt were the only feelings that were in you. Wishing that time will turn back but clearly know that it won't turn back just for you to change the fact. Knowing now, will you ever do it again?
