Chapter 5 : Neverland

It took us a few seconds to find our courage. Hikaru glanced at me and I nodded. I knew what he wanted to do, we were the same person after all. We slowly noiselessly turned around. And there it was!

A cute red squirrel was gnawing a hazelnut. It blinked as if it wanted to say ' What the hell are you looking at? Have you never seen a red squirrel before?'

He blinked, I blinked. We looked at each other and blew out a noisy laughter.

" It…It's just a squirrel!" he fell down laughing.

" Yeah, just a tiny squirrel!"

I guessed we laughed too loud, the squirrel got scared and climbed up a tree. We trailed off him and looked up to the sky.

The shining sun sent out a warming ray of light through the green leaves down to us. A light wind blew, carrying the scent of the earth. Nightingales, robins, finches and catbirds were singing happily together in this paradise.

" Wow," I didn't know what else to say.

" I think something is behind the bush," Hikaru headed to the gooseberry bush not far away and…

" Wow, Sai, take a look at this," he called me.

Three baby wolves were playing with their mother enjoyably. Not wanting to disturb them, we smiled and stepped backward without a sound like a ghost.

Another me wanted to explore the forest. Walking hand in hand, we started our exploration. Monkeys were on the tree while a fox was chasing a rabbit on the ground. A big black bear was at a river trying to catch a salmon, near by a moose and her baby was eating green moss when a golden wildcat was sleeping, we looked at them in excitement. We kept walking until we reached the edge of the forest. In front of us was a wide field covering with tall green grass, a large blue lake and a huge waterfall. A light breeze blew softly, the tall grass in the field swayed gently rippling like a wave. Colorful butterflies and dragonflies were flying in the air. A lion family was lying lazily under a big tree in the middle of the field while a beaver was busy collecting sticks to build a dam. At the lake, a couple of swan was gliding gracefully while a mother duck tried to teach her babies how to swim. Few giraffes seemed to have a hard time as they tried to drink water in the lake. On the contrary, bluebirds and sparrows were singing without any discomfort same as a roe deer was just standing still showing his elegant antlers.

" Where're they from?" Walking to the field, Hikaru said in awe.

" You create them," I answered.

" What? ME? You gotta be kidding!" he didn't believe me.

" I'm serious! When you told me your..our story, the tree started to grow!" I boldly told him what I saw.

" But..but..but,"

" Ne, why don't you try…" I suggested.

" Try what?"

" Why don't you picture something in your mind and see if it really appear?" I rapidly came out with the idea just a second ago.

" Eh?"

" Ne, Let's try," I shook his arm lightly.

"..Okay," he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, " Ummm," I looked around trying to see what would happen next.

" Kangaroos?" I exclaimed unexpectedly.

" What?" Hikaru opened his eyes immediately. The first thing he saw were four kangaroos jumping in the air, one of them had a joey in her pouch, " I can't believe it, they actually become real!"

" You think of them? Of kangaroos? " He nodded slowly, " Wow, ..Are you God?"

" No! Don't be silly!"

" But how…"

" It's your turn," he cut me off.

" Huh?"

" If I can do this, so can you," he pointed out.

" But I…"

" We're the same person, right? Everything I can do, so can you," he confirmed with assurance.

"…I'll try," I closed my eyes and imagined something in my mind.

" You can open your eyes now," he told me.

Three eucalyptus trees were standing in front of us, a koala was sleeping on each one of them.

" Impossible," It couldn't be true.

" See? I've told you," Grinning, he turned to the lion, " Come here, boy, come here," he was on his knees calling it.

" Hikaru! It's dangerous!" I shouted in panic.

" It's okay," he told me airily.

" How can it be okay! It's a lion! It's going to kill you!" I hollered in terror.

" How can he harms us when we're the one who create him," he commented sensibly.

" But, Hikaru,"

" Come here, boy," the big powerful lion walked straight to us when it heard his calling.

" Hi..ka..ru," Hiding behind his back, I was so scared. It comes! It's coming!

" Easy, Sai, it's just a big kitten,"

" A Big Kitten? It's a Lion! Hikaru, A LION!" I yelled into his ear.

" Ouch! You don't have to shout!" he cried out loudly.

" Hikaru, the lion," Burying my face in his back, I closed my eyes, my body was trembling with fear.

" Sai, he's so cute," Hikaru was amazed. I opened my eyes little by little. I saw him gently stroked its head like it was a puppy. The lion seemed to be comfortable by his touch. " Sai, he's so soft, Touch him,"

" It doesn't bite, right?" I said with my greatest fear.

" Don't call him ' It', he has a name, right? Poji," Cupping its face in his hands, he kissed Poji, the lion.

" Hikaru! It's going to eat your head!" Are you crazy! Wait, if he's crazy, so am I! Am I crazy!

" Poji won't hurt me," he declared stably, " Right, Poji, you will never hurt me, right?" heacted like a new daddy playing with his new born baby.

" Hikaru, Stop it," I tried to pull him away from Poji, " It's a lion not a dog, it's not safe!"

" But he's not just a lion, he's Our lion," he pushed me close to Poji instead.

" Hi..Hikaru, I..It…It's going to kill me!" I stammered as I saw it's moving toward.

" Still, Still," he instructed me. Poji looked into my eyes and licked my face. " Stop, Stop it, haha, Stop it," I tickled.

" That's enough, Poji," Poji stepped back obediently as it heard Hikaru's order. " Good boy, good boy," Ruffling its head affectionately, Hikaru praised it with smile.

" For the last time, Hikaru, it's a lion not a dog, we can't trust on it," I stated seriously.

" We create him, he won't harm us," he strongly disagreed, " And stop calling him 'it'!"

Umm…Maybe he's right. " Okay, but we can't call him " Poji" , he's a lion, the king of all animals, not a dog,"

" I call him whatever I want. Besides, he likes this name, right? Poji," he asked him. Poji gave us a sharp sound in answer.

I can not believe this. " Fine, Poji," Accepting my defeat, I sighed.

" Great, Ne, Sai, Let's keep exploring," he suggested cheerfully, " Poji, com'on, boy," I let out another tiring sigh as I saw another me running happily along with the lion which thought that it was a dog.

Three of us found a small hill. We climbed up, as we reached at the top, we saw the ocean.

" Cool, Let's swimming," Hikaru didn't hesitate to run to the white beach. Poji speedily ran after him.

" What a big turtle! Look! A starfish! Look! Sai! Albatrosses!" he cried out joyfully.

" Hikaru, how do we get here?" I asked him solemnly when I finally got to the beach. The second that he heard my question, he stopped playing with Poji right away.

A/N : What a long chapter! Well, I just want to describe this paradise in one chapter only. At first, I want the paradise became more ...abtracts...you know, just like " The Cell" then I think " Hey! Let's do it a simple way so people can understand easily" so the paradise became the forest.

Poji : one of the most common and old fashion name for dog, just like you name your dog Mac or John..kind like that.

About the continueation of Findind Seiji : I've revised the 1st chapter and divided it in 2 chapters. The 3rd chapter will come out after this fic is over. And believe me, I did change it from a one-shot to multi-chapters... or I should say many many chapters!
