Reality

Part two:Life a dream?(a/n:-- that reminds me of an Edgar Allan Poe poem)

Chapter 1:Waking up

A/n: I don't know why I'm updating when people dont seem to be interested into this story, but I am anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'It was all a dream.'Rika woke up. She looked around.'It's not familiar. Where am I?'

"I see you finally woke up."a lady said.

"Who are you?"

"I am a nurse in this hospital."

Rika got up. She was in a hospital? The only memory of that part was after they rescued her.

"Ok...let me out."

"Sorry we can't do that. The doctor is the only one who can release you."

'For a hospital its seems too dark. What kind of hospital is this? 'Rika looked around her.

"You have a visitor."the nurse opened the door."It's your father."

She gritted her teeth. The last person she wanted to see was him.

"Hello Rika." he greeted."I'll give you your answers as long as you let me."

Rika calmed down a bit. He is the only one that she knew that knows.

"What do you want?"

Mr.Makino nodded and the nurse left. He sat down while Rika eyed him.

"I'll start from the beginning. You've been in a coma for 3 months now. The cause was probably the hits in your head that you got from me. During those three months I got help, I did. I'm different now. Police are standing by in case I go nuts again."

"Where are my friends? Where's my family?"

"They are all out there living their lives. Without you."

'No. He's lying. If he saw them then they wouldn't let him.......right?'

"Don't belive me then. But why aren't they here? I am the only one who can get you out this time."Mr. Nonaka stood up."Let me know when you trust me. I'll get you out then."

When he left Rika called the nurse back and asked to use the phone.

~~~~~~~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~~~~~

'It's been 3 months since Rika escaped her fathers house. How is she now? How come we can't find her?'

"Ryo?"

"Ya..."

"Aren't you going to get out of the car?" his dad asked.

"Oh, right. I'll see you later."Ryo went to Henrys house.

"So what's the thing that only I can find?"

"Rika."

"I'll try and search around. Come to think about it, I haven't really thought about her." Henry began typing."It's a good thing I know how to hack and such."

Ryo took out a laptop and typed as well.

"I'll do the easy thing and web search for stuff."

"Do you think the others want to know what we are doing?"

"Maybe if we actually find something."

"I'm lookin...."

*Ring*Ring*

"Your phone?" Ryo asked.

*Ring*Ring*

"Nope, it's yours."

Ryo took out his phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Ryo-"

"Hmmm? Hello? "

"Who was it?" Henry asked.

"I dunno, its an unknown number."he checked.

"Call it back."

"Nah, it's probably a wrong number."

But out of curiousity Ryo searched the number which turned out to be a hospitals.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~~~

'Not a good time to ignore your phone Ryo !' Rika hung up.'Now who else? It seems everyone is busy.'

"I'll call later." she assured herself.

'When is that stupid doctor coming? I want to get out of here...my dad's the only one who can get me out.'

"Hello Rika. I'm doctor Kazami." a woman entered.

"Do you know anything about my visitors?"

"Like what?" she got Rika's board.

"My friends..or my mom.....something?"

"Your dad mostly comes, I see him around a lot."

"Anyone else?"

"I don't know, and since you fathers the onyl guardian you have for now he made a restricted visitor list." Kazami checked her pulse.

"Don't you find that suspicious?"

"Sort of, but then again he is divorced. He's concerned of people getting to you."

"What kind of thing is that?"

"What?"

"Restriction. More like being isolated from the people I know."

"Calm down Rika, you can go and right now only your father has that opportunity. Besides, I don't think your friends are able to find this place because it's not too well known."

"What if I can get someone else to get me?"

Dr. Kazami wrote on the clipboard.

"That would work."

"OK!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~Ryo~~~~~~~~

"Hello Ms. Nonaka." he greeted as he entered her house."What did they say?"

"She's safe in a hospital somewhere near her dads house. But I don't know anything about the place."

'A hospital?' Ryo thought.' Could it be....?'

"What was she doing there?"

"The last thing the police told me was that she was in a coma."(A/n:That means that Rika's life in the dream was for 3 months.)

Ryo took out his cell and checked the number again. It was most likely her.

"She called me, but I didn't even get to pick it up."

"When?"

"Yesterday."

"I'll call her back."

*Ring*Ring*

"I'll get it." Ms. Nonaka answered right when Ryo was about to call.

"Mom, get me out!"

"Rika!"

Ryo stopped the call and went to Rika's mom.

"Where are you?" Ms. Nonaka asked.

"In a hospital. I'll explain more later, just get me out."

"Ok, we're coming."

Rika hung up and Ryo still wondered what it was about.

"Let's go Ryo."

"Do you know what hospital she's in?"

"Um.....no...."

"Don't worry, I know exactly know where it is."

~~~~~~~~~~~~Rika~~~~~~~~~~

'I'm out of here!'

"Rika, do you want to leave or not?" her dad came in.

"I do, but I don't feel like going with you."

Mr. Makino didn't move. Rika suddenly felt some sympathy for him. It sort of felt like her dad had changed from the last time she saw him.

"If you need to reach me for some reason, here." he handed her a card."You can call me."

"It's not like I will." she took it anyway. She had a feeling about this moment, weird feelings entered.

"Ms. Nonaka, your mom and your friend are on their way."the doctor entered. She looked at Rika and her father."Did I interrupt something?"

"No."Mr. Makino sighed. He walked pass the doctor to leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ride back home~~~~~~~~~~~

'Finally. Rika is back again. But this whole time we wasted a lot more time trying to get to her.'Ryo thoght.(A/n:That doesn't make sense.)

'What kind of friends are we?'

"Do you want a ride home Ryo?" Ms. Nonaka offered.

"It's ok, I'll stay within the area to do stuff."

'My dad is thinking. He was a little upset. Too genuine to be fake.' Rika looked out her window.'Everything is all stupid here.'

"Hey Rika, what's it like always being helped?" Ryo joked.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

'You'd think she would ease down a bit. Then again, the thought of her dad does provoke her to always think to herself.'Ryo looked over at her.

"This is fine Ms.Nonaka. I'll get off, thanks."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Ryo got out."I'll come by tomorrow."

"Ok, bye"

Rika didn't say anything. She was too into her head. Now that she can go home with her mom, she had things to ask. Ryo just watched her car go with others, then he walked.

'It seemed like she was wondering about something. But what is it about? Her life? Friends? Her dad?' Ryo asked.'I think I should talk to her. Would she open up or still no answer?'

While Ryo walked by a person, he caught his eye.

'Was that just Mr.Makino?' Ryo stopped and looked back.
