Chapter 13 – paradise dream.
"Minoru?" Chii patted my head as she sighed with worry written all over her tone of voice.
I just sat in my chair feeling numb with things passing all around me as if they were going in slow motion. But I knew that deep inside, it was just me.
All this was just me, after all.
I began to laugh as Chii shook her head. "No, you have to fight it!"
"She is going to kill herself and I'm supposed to fight that?" I slapped my hand to my forehead. Then, I laughed even more with my self-mockery.
I was the one who put her in this position.
"Oh Minoru…" Chii began to gulp as tears began to form on her face while she drove.
"I made her. I made her exist." I looked at Chii wanting to cry all over again. "Isn't cruel to make something exist when you find out all you will do is give them pain?"
"Hideki believed that he could make me happy. That's all he could give me, Minoru." She began to smile through her tears. She glanced at me as she said, "That's all I wanted from him.
"And you. You have a good family, a name and money. You have many things that many people would want. You are very lucky. Because you are kindhearted, you could even make Yuzuki with your own hands when you could have been some brat that just wanted to be waited on hand and foot."
She patted my chest once more and breathed slowly. "Okay, breathe, Minoru."
I just looked at her.
"That's all Yuzuki wants of you. And you of all people know this. That's all you want from her." At that moment, she parked the car and patted my head. "Don't be scared of what you can't do for her.
"Be afraid of when you don't want to. But that won't ever come, now will it?"
At that moment, I hugged Chii and bowed my head. "Hideki's such a lucky man."
Chii lifted up her chin and smirked playfully like the day I first met her. "Of course! He tells me everyday!"
I opened the door and ran into my house.
It was quite strange to think that all the other persocoms had that 'emotion chip' within them but they didn't want to utilize. Nor did they know how.
Only ones that were well taken care of.
Didn't I take care of them? No, I didn't love them like I did with Yuzuki…
With my hands in fists, I felt my fingers press on the already open wounds as I found a secret room that only Yuzuki knew the password. Somehow, I regretted doing so as I found it had been renamed.
"Shoot!" I shook my head as I closed my eyes carefully. Calming myself down, I put all the passwords that I could think of.
"I'm sorry to do this…" In my panic, I ran towards Yuzuki's room and went through the drawers of her desk.
"There must be a clue…" I looked at the clock as I shook with fear and a sweatdrop running down my face.
It was then that I found a diary. It was as if a little girl had written these entries instead of a persocom.
At the beginning, there was a dried orchid. On the inside cover, she had written:
"Minoru-sama gave this to me. Even if he won't remember, I won't ever forget the day he said he wouldn't ever leave me.
It was the day that I felt like a real woman. Not a persocom."
"Orchid…" I mumbled as I brought the diary with me and ran towards the room in the far end of the house. Pressing the katakana symbols, my heart beat with anticipation.
"If this doesn't work…"
I sighed as I prayed that it would.
The door opened and then I ran in to find it closed once more. I ran down the corridor to hear their two voices talking.
"I should have never put that program into you." Sai harshly said. "Kaede told me in a dream that Minoru-kun would make a persocom in her image."
"Sai-san…" I mumbled as I ran in a maze.
I had made a personal maze so that my laboratory would be well-protected. So, I could hear their voices all over, but they couldn't hear me coming towards them.
"And what will you do if you destruct now?" Sai asked with an exasperated tone.
"It's better that he has less pain now than he will later." Yuzuki simply answered.
"Stop! You're acting like her. Kaede…" Sai's voice was going in an out. I could tell that she was shaking her head at Yuzuki. "Don't hurt Minoru-kun like Kaede hurt me!!!"
When I was getting closer to the laboratory, I could see the glass panels that I had put all around it. I shook my head.
They were in their own world as my eyes opened wider.
Yuzuki looked at the wire in her hands and then at Sai.
"Don't Yuzuki!!!!!!" I screamed inside of my head as I ran in the maze almost getting to my destination.
"She had a heart disease. And I didn't know it until it was too late. It was the same with my sister. She had the power to dream, but she didn't have the power to live. It wasn't because of choice, her body failed her." She took a hold of yuzuki's shoulders. "You have the power to live. Don't waste it."
Her eyes became fierce. "Or I'll never forgive you."
For the first time in her life, Yuzuki answered firmly, "It is my choice."
"Yes, it is your choice, but what you have to see is that you don't understand what it means to be human…you're too weak to survive." She pushed her away. "Go ahead and leave, but Minoru should have never loved you."
It was then Yuzuki's eyes became frightened. She pushed the wire away as she grabbed her head from side to side. "I don't understand. He tells me he loves me, but all I can see is that I am his sister's double. He tells me that I'm no longer that, but how can I be certain?"
Then, all became quiet.
I got to the final door. The password that I had never given to Yuzuki was the same as I had input into her.
"Paradise dream!" I shouted into the system.
"How will he ever know that I'm in here? Waiting. Just waiting here." Tears began to fall from her eyes.
Her life draining away…
The door suddenly opened and I ran past Sai to get to Yuzuki. I grabbed Yuzuki and put my arms around her waist like when I was a kid.
In tiredness, I smiled as I whispered into her ear, "I found you, Yuzuki."
She shook her head.
I nodded quietly as I took her head and ran my fingers through her hair. Pressing her close to my chest, I held her tightly. "I found you, finally…"
Yuzuki finally let go of the wire.
Tap, tap.
She hesitantly asked, "Minoru-sama, will you let me go when I need to?"
I nodded as I said, "Go wherever you need to. Just know that I'll always be looking for you."
It was then that she wrapped her arms around me. "Minoru…"
I began to cry as I said, "But no matter where you go, I'll follow you, Yuzuki."
As I opened my eyes to look at Sai, she turned around with a smile while walking away from me. I wanted to stop her, but I knew I would talk to her later.
"Would you love me any different if I was your persocom and you were the one I served?" I shook my head as I stared into her eyes. "I don't care about what you do or what you want. Just as long as you'll let me be there next to you."
As I continued to stare down at Yuzuki, she began to smile as she closed her eyes in contentment.
I took a deep breath as I looked up at the white ceiling above us. I whispered to her, "We will start all over again."
Finally, I have found you.
But, aren't you the one who should have said that to me, Yuzuki?
Take me with you,
Wherever you may go, Yuzuki…
Tsuzuku…
