Chapter 7: Gone

I try to hug you,

But I can't.

I try to carry you in my arms,

But I can't.

I try to kiss your soft lips,

But I can't.

Because you're,

Gone.

"Hey! Where am I!"

"You're here of course," the blonde said.

"Specific answer please?"

"Here."

"Forget it," Jikan said as she sighed, got up, and dusted herself off.

"Wait…. I… Need you…," the girl whispered.

"Huh? What? Me?" Jikan asked as she pointed at herself. "But I can't do anything."

"Do you… still have the Heaven's Clock? Ms. Tokei, Jikan…"

"Hey! Stop calling me Tokei! It makes me feel fat since I think that all clocks are round and I am NOT round! Now, lets see…," Jikan said as she dug through her pocket. "Ah! I still have it. But what for?"

"I told you…. I need help…"

"For what?"

"Take me…. Back…. 40 years… To the time…. Right before Dark, disappeared."


"Ow….," Daisuke said as he got up. 'Dark, are you ok?' Daisuke thought. '…,' He's not answering….

"Ow…," a person next to Daisuke said. His back was turned to Daisuke so Daisuke didn't know who he was.

"Hey! Who are you! What are you doing in my house! Get out, NOW!" Daisuke said while pointing to the door.

"What are you talking about! This is my house!" the person said without turning around. "Hey wait. You sound like this wimpy idiot I know…," the person said as he turned around.

"D-D-D-D-D-DARK!"


"Ow. I guess the Saint of Tears was activated, Krad."

"Yes, Satoshi-sama," the blond said as he dusted himself and got up.

"I wonder how Daisuke is handling it…"

"Just tell him you like him. If you're lucky, he still might talk to you."

"Shut up. You know I don't like him. And what about Dark? I heard you talking about him in your sleep and you were hugging someone that was supposed to be next to you."

"Hmp," Krad said as he turned around and blushed.


"What? Why?"

"I… I want to see it… one more time…. Before God puts me to sleep."

"What are you talking about? What time? What's God? I came from Time so I wouldn't know. Is that like a god? His name is God. 'Cause our God was a clock keeper. He made biggest clock ever in Time."

"Please…," the girl said as tears dripped down her face. "I need to see it…one more time…"

"Hey! Uh... Don't cry! I'll take you there! Uh… Let's go right now!"

"(Sniff) O-Okay…"

"Okay! Get ready!" Jikan said as she held the girl's hand.


Daisuke gasped and turned around. He felt like Jikan was gone….. Here but yet… Gone.
