" Blahblahblah" : a normal talk

Blahblahblah : a thought

/ Blahblahblah/ a voice in the mind ( Sorry, I don't know how to call it, Telepathy ?)

Chapter 7 : One body, two souls

/I'm here, Sai/

I jumped. I knew this voice. Hikaru? Where are you?

/ I didn't see you coming back so I followed you. When I reached the sun, I'm here/ He stated stilly. I could hear his voice inside my head but I couldn't see him.

Hikaru, Where are you? I looked around, there were only Takamiya and me. I can't see you.

/ Sai, What are you wearing/ Out of the blue he changed the subject

What! What kind of a question is that! We have a more important problem here, can't you see?

/ Sai, Look at yourself, What are you wearing/ he demanded again.

Of course, I dress the same, white shirt and white pan..t.. I stopped arguing with him when I finally looked at myself. I was in a yellow T-shirt with long sleeves and shorts jeans. What the…! Why am I in this dress?

/ Sai, Turn to your left/

Although I didn't understand why he wanted me to do that, I did as I was told. All I saw was a bookshelf full with cartoon books. So?

/ …When you turned left, I intended to turn right but I couldn't. My body didn't follow my mind/

What? What do you mean? Where are you anyway?

/ Sai, this is our body but it's you who are controlling it now. I think I'm in your mind/

What!

" Hey," the future doctor interrupted our conversation, " So?"

" So what? Takamiya-san," I had already forgotten him.

" If you're Sai, where is Hikaru?" he repeated the question.

Hikaru, what should I tell him? Then Hikaru told me what to say.

" He is here..inside me,"

" What?"

" He says he wants sometime to think about stuff. He'll meet you later..when he's ready. I'll be in charge until he comes back," Ending the message, I nodded politely, " Nice to meet you again, Takamiya-san, My name is Sai,"

" Hikaru stops playing with me," the older boy was getting irritated, " First, you worried your mom by locking yourself in your room crying like a drain. Then, you fainted and freighted me to death," Looking intensely at me, he demanded, " So, stop playing and tell me what's going on,"

" I've already told you everything," I strongly answered.

" Hikaru,"

Giving him a cold icy stare, I only glared at him. I bet Hikaru had never done this since Takamiya was horrified by the look and searched deep into my eyes.

" Who are you?" he uttered in horror, " You're not my Hikaru,"

/ Sai, he is a trustworthy friend, we can trust on him, Tell him about us / Hikaru assured me.

So I told him everything…about the darkness, the first time I met Hikaru, the forest..I told him everything, everything. He just listened in a calm manner saying nothing. After I finished my..our story, his face turned white. He sighed heavily as he told…or rather ordered me not to tell anyone about this and meet him at his house the next day.

" Act as normal as you can," he gave me the last order before he left.

Once again, I did as I was told. I kept my mouth seal and acted like the way Hikaru did. The next morning, I woke up but something was different.

" Sai?" Hikaru called out my name.

/ Hikaru/ I knew that I was getting up but the weird part was I didn't intend to stand up. It seemed that my body moving by itself.

" Sai, I think I gain the body now," he informed me with certainty.

/ Eh/

" Let's talk to Ken-chan," He finished his breakfast in no time then we went to Takaimaya's house.

Hikaru swiftly went into Takamiya's room without knocking. The medical student was surrounded by many thick medical books. He was uneasy by his..our presence. It seemed that he didn't know that I was here either.

" Please, have a seat," he awkwardly said it.

" You don't need to be that polite! I come here for thousands times!" Another me blew off at full volume.

" Hikaru?" our older friend exclaimed in distrust.

" Yeah," Hikaru went straightly to his bed and sit on it, " Who else can it be?"

/ ME/

"……"

"...Oh, sorry,"

" …Hikaru..that's what I want to talk about," he sit next to him, " Do you know what happened yesterday?"

" You mean do I know about Sai?" he corrected him. The dark haired boy jumped by my name.

" Yes..yes, Do you know about Sai?"

" Of course, he's another me," Takamiya's eyes widened in shock.

" I ..I don't except you to know that," he was clearly uncomfortable about this, " Listen, Hikaru, Sai..Sai is another you,"

" I've known that!" Hikaru was getting bored.

" No, Hikaru, you don't understand what I mean…Do you know where Sai comes from?"

"….." Sai?

/ I don't know either/

" Sai..Sai is another you," the 20-year-old medical student slowly repeated, " Another your personality,"

" What?"

/ What! What is that/ Hikaru and I cried out in the same time.

Then Takamiya told us about a condition called " Double personalities". As far as I understood, Hikaru had suffered from the guilt…that victory over Touya Akira. Wanting to escape the real world and ditch his talent, his deep consciousness created the forest..created Sai…created me so I could take all his gift and all his guilt, then he could continue living normally.

It all made sense! I only brought to life for protecting him. That was the reason I felt so awful when he was sad. That was why I had decided to take away his fan!

Hikaru left the room as soon as Takamiya finished his theory. He ran as fast as he could to the nearest park.

" Sai, Are you here?" Panting out of breath, he called me.

/ Yes, I'm here/ Where else can I be?

" Did you hear what Ken-chan said?"

/ Every single word/

" What do you think about it?"

/…I think it's true…you're not my friend but my creator/

" What! I'm your friend! Another you! Not God!" he shouted angrily.

/ You create me. You're the creator, I'm the creation/

" Don't talk like that!" he exploded loudly. Luckily, there was nobody around here, " You're a person not a thing!"

/ …..I thought we were the same person..we're different but the same/

" We're,"

/ No, you create me. I'm just a part of you, not another you/

"….."

/ There is only Shindou Hikaru, you said that yourself. And it's you not me/

" US"

/ Hikaru/

" No matter they say, you're me, I'm you…Friends, equal friends, not God and his creation,"

Nothing I needed to say. He accepted me as his friend, his equal friend. I wanted nothing more. It was then I decided to protect him from anything, it was then that this boy became the reason I was.

siobhn01 : Yeah, it's hard to be Ken-chan, isn't it?

gravitation gig : Well, yes, that's what he was born for , it's the reason he live.

kathy: Good to see you again :D
