Between Two Hearts
Chapter 12: A Walk To Revelation
~~~~~
Hisoka and the older Gushoshin were already at the library. They were at the private room, scanning the computer.
"Here are all the files that I found," the Gushoshin said. "Let's look at this one first."
It clicked the first file and read, "On March 1996, two dead bodies, recognized as the famous detective, Yumeki Ran, and his wife, Yumeki Hana, was found lying on the floor of their house. But the body of their daughter, Yumeki Sakura, was found missing, thinking she was kidnapped. They investigated the whole place and found short strands, about an inch, of platinum hair lying near the corpse of the couple. The investigators think that it was owned by both the murderer and kidnapper…"
"It can't be!?!" he thought.
"This means that the person you're looking for was already missing at that time…" it told him. He continued, "Let's now look at the next one…"
It clicked the next file. It was a picture of a group of kindergarten students.
"This is a class picture in Kyoko School of Kanazawa…"
It pointed to a little girl, with short ebony hair and sapphire blue eyes, at the left side of the picture. Something struck Hisoka's head, making his head ache that much.
"I know I have seen this uniform before… back at Kanazawa… Also with this girl…"
"… maybe that's why I have this feeling that I've met her before… before the dream…" he thought.
"Hisoka-san, daijoubu?" the Gushoshin asked worriedly. "Do I have to accompany you to the clinic?"
He replied, "Iie… I'm fine…"
"… Is that Sakura?"
"Hai," he retorted and glanced again at the monitor, "Staring at her makes me remember Kageyami-san…"
Hisoka suddenly turned to the Gushoshin.
"Oh! Speaking of Kageyami, I haven't found files about her but…"
"… I have hacked the file in her profile and it took me almost forever…"
Hisoka said, "Will you show it to me?"
It clicked the file Hisoka wanted. It was a profile.
"This is…"
It replied, " Yumeki Sakura's profile. Saino's the one who moved it there. But luckily, I have got it…"
It read, "Name, Yumeki Sakura. Born when, January 1st, 1988. Born where, Kanazawa. Parents, Yumeki Ran and Hana…"
Hisoka said surprisingly, "It's almost the same as Kageyami's! What does this mean???"
"It's such a coincidence that Kageyami-san and Yumeki are born in the same place. Kageyami's year of birth, if you compute it, would be 1988, the same as Yumeki's. And their hairs are exactly the same…"
"Also, why would Kageyami keep this profile as top secret?… This only means that…"
"Kageyami Saino and Yumeki Sakura are only one person…" it finally got to the point.
"NANI?!?" he exclaimed. "Impossible! Maybe it's REALLY just a coincidence. Saino's eyes are crimson blood while Sakura, she has calm sapphire eyes."
"The person you're looking for was always beside you…"
He thought and shook his head, "It's really impossible!?! Really…"
He suddenly remembered the scene. The first one was the time Hisoka went out from Saino's room and noticed something different from her (It happened in Chapt 2, in case you forgot).
He shook his head again and walked away.
"Where are you going?" the Gushoshin asked.
"I'm going to take some fresh air," he said as he closed the door.
----- At the streets -----
It was already sunset. The young boy was walking alone, thinking about both Sakura and Saino.
He shook his head, "It's really impossible…"
"Please take care of yourself while I'm gone…"
Recognizing the voice, he turned to the flower shop, where he heard it. He noticed Saino, talking to an old lady.
"Is this where she's working?" he thought.
"… I won't be long. Merry Christmas!?!" she said as she went away.
As she turned back to wave, he stared at her directly and noticed her eyes were not those ruby red ones but were sapphire. He was stunned. Saino ran away from the flower shop, smiling. Hisoka followed her.
"Kageyami-san!" he called her.
Saino stopped at the silent alley and slowly turned to him. She was both shocked and frightened, not only that she knew it was him but also because of his bitter stare towards her. She suddenly ran away from him.
"Shumi!?! Why is he here?!" she thought, wanted to lose from the run.
"Matte!?!" Hisoka insisted, still running.
They arrived at the middle of a quiet park.
Saino's foot accidentally slipped in a cracked stone floor and got tripped, "Ah!!!…"
"Kageyami!?"
Hisoka nimbly went to her to catch her. Saino was on his arms. She quickly stood up and bent her head down.
"Why did you follow me?" she asked, feeling bothered.
He never gave a reply. But instead…
"Why did you kept it from me?!…" he yelled.
He harshly raised her arm in front of her, revealing the silver bracelet.
She defiantly said, "Let go of my arm!?!"
He yelled at her, "Tell me, why is the bracelet with you?!"
Saino can't utter a word but just let a tear fell on her smooth cheek.
"It's because you're Yumeki Sakura, am I right?!" he frankly told her.
"So, you already knew…" she said. She pulled back her arm and replied with mixed emotions of anger and sadness, "What if I am?!… I thought you're the one who can help me but it seems that…"
"… You're like the others!?!" she exclaimed, tears brimming her beautiful sapphire eyes. "All I ever wanted was just… was just…"
She didn't continued what she was supposed to say. She changed the topic.
"That childhood Sakura just did a big mistake…"
"… I already told her that I can go look for my past by myself…"
Realizing what she accidentally just said, she quickly covered her mouth and turned around.
"Shimata!?! That wasn't good… I have said it!?!" she thought.
"What did you say?" he asked. "Go look for your past by yourself?…"
She gulped and nimbly flew away, "Gomen!?!"
"Matte!?!" he quickly grabbed her leg.
As he pulled her down, her body turned to him. He was about to yell but as he stared deeply in her tear brimmed eyes, he felt the sadness hidden in her eyes. His thought accidentally synchronized with her thoughts, seeing another of her past.
~~~~~
Saino was at a dark room, tucking herself at the far corner of it. Tears were falling continuously on the floor.
"Naze?… Why does everyone hate me?…"
She tucked her head deeper on her thighs, "… I love them all… I tried to be nice to them… but…"
"… Why do they still hate me and is afraid of me???…"
"Is it because I have these strange powers??? Is it why they call me 'Demon'?…"
She shook her head defiantly, "I can't take it anymore!?!"
She let herself rest on the ground and took out her cross pendant that was hidden on her chest. She held it high and stared at it.
Then, she held it tight on her chest, "Kami-sama… tasukete… tasukete…"
~~~~~
Hisoka's thoughts were back to the present.
Saino softly begged, "Onegai… Let me go…"
"… I have to go there immediately. I don't want Sakura to scold at me again. And also…"
"… I'm afraid of your anger towards me… it just adds pain to the sorrowful memories I had from what I only remember to recent…"
Hisoka let go of her. He stared at her as she flew away from him. Seeing her sparkling tears that flew with the wind and filled the night sky, he felt guilty about everything he had said and done to her. The fountain thrash as it tried to reach the dark sky. He sat beside the fountain and stared blankly into its water.
"Naze?…" he thought. "Why does guilt never leave me?… Is it because I'm the only one in the group who makes her cry?…"
He bent his head. His hair shadowed his lime eyes. It suddenly started to rain.
*****
Waaaah!?! Bad Hisoka!?! Making Saino-kun cry!?! *sighs* Hisoka already found out that Saino is Sakura Yumeki, also with you. I guess you already have found it out before this chapter. Almost every chapter has those hints. But what does Saino meant by 'Go look for her past'? Read the future chapters if you want to know… ; p
Next chapter hints: (The Cross Pendant)
Hisoka already opened his gift from Saino. And guess what it is?… ; )
Want me to still continue it? R&R. -Reia
