A Rediscovered Soul

Chapter 3

The Others

Mimi was late. Late for a date. Late for a date with Shobu Kirifuda. She was worried that he'd leave before she got there. How had she forgotten? Oh yeah, that's right. She was looking for something to wear.

Mimi ran down the path leading to the restaurant, panting hard. The smart shoes that the 17-year old wore made sharp scrapes against the pavement. She shoved past a busy crowd of commuters waiting to board a bus, and kept on running. She shoved past another group and ran onto the road, completely focused on running.

All she heard was somebody shouting "STOP!" before she turned and froze. Two bright lights, then complete darkness.

All the while, Shobu was waiting at the restaurant, stirring his coffee with a stainless steel spoon, holding his chin with his other hand. His black spiky hair ruffled slightly as the door opened. He looked up hopefully, only to see it was some random person, at which he looked at his coffee. He slammed his fist down on the table, and cursed quietly, making the other people inside stare at him disapprovingly. Suddenly, he heard someone next to him say something about a purple-haired girl being knocked down by a car near the diner.

Shobu gasped. He leapt up from his table and raced out of the door.

Saiyuki and Rakudah , 17 and 16 respectively, were sitting in Saiyuki's living room playing Duel Masters, not Kaijudo, just a casual game. Rakudah was wearing something better than he used to, baggy jeans and a grey t-shirt. Saiyuki hadn't changed her style much. Suddenly, Rakudah's mobile phone started ringing. Removing it from his pocket, he saw it was from Shobu. Putting it to his ear, he listened to the voice on the other end, and then went pale. Putting it back slowly, he turned to Saiyuki.

"What's… wrong?" she asked.

"It's Mimi… she's… she got hit by a car and she's in a terrible state." he said quietly. Saiyuki screamed quietly. Saiyuki jumped up at something near light speed and they were soon both in her car, almost as quickly at the hospital. Shobu was already there, in the waiting room, pacing up and down, eyes red with tears.

"Shobu, we're-"Saiyuki started, before Shobu turned to face them. He didn't say anything. "I'm sure she'll be-"she tried to say again. Eventually she and Rakudah sat down.

A doctor came out of the room. They all turned to look at him.

"H-how is she? Is she all right? Oh, please tell me she's alright?" said Shobu, in a voice thick with worry and sadness. The doctor looked grim.

"Well, she's still in a coma, but her heart rate is getting more regular."

Shobu almost fainted with relief, but he knew that there was still a worry. "You can visit her if you wish." the doctor added. The three teens were through the door before the doctor could even tell them when to leave.

The girl was there. She was still wearing the same red satin dress she was taking to the diner. Her purple hair was underneath her. She was surrounded by bleeping machines, her arms covered with tubes and her mouth covered with a breathing mask. Her eyes were closed. Shobu knelt down next to the bed, out his face on the covers and cried. Just cried. Saiyuki and Rakudah nodded to each other, and left the room. They were waiting for almost three hours before Shobu came out. He sat on a chair and fell asleep.

After a while, something happened. Something strange. There was a strange noise from the loudspeaker, like a loud, shrill scream. Saiyuki and Rakudah fainted when they heard it. Then they and Shobu had a shared dream.

The hospital was in flames, the walls covered in fire, spitting out white hot sparks which lit more places on fire. Every person in the hospital was dead. Mimi wasn't there. The three teens ran outside, where everything was normal. Except that there was a huge shadow over the white building. They all looked up. There was a monster there. A monster from the Duel Masters game. Immortal Baron Vorg. It was breathing fire over the hospital, as if it were trying to get something inside there. But then, it stopped. There was a brilliant light flying towards it, and the monster was backing away, screaming. As the crystal approached, the monster melted into liquid and disappeared. Mimi then approached and kissed Shobu on the cheek, then fainted, falling to the ground and disappearing. Thousands of monsters appeared all around, all breathing or blasting fire onto the hospital and the surrounding area. The teens seemed to be in a dome of protection of some sort, all the fire just rolled off to the side of them. For each and every monster, a crystal appeared, making them all melt and disappear into a puddle of purple liquid. When the final one fell, there was a huge flash, and a huge crystal appeared in the sky above the teens. This then shattered, with a ear-splitting smash, and all the teens woke up with a huge bang. They were all sweating profusely. Each looked at the other.

"What was that?" asked Saiyuki. The others just shook their heads. Suddenly, they noticed something in the corner. A spark, flying as if from nowhere, and a crash from outside…
