In Hikaru's dream:
" Blahblahblah" ( a talk )
' Blahblahblah ' ( a thought)
Chapter 4 : The first word he said
5 minutes later,
" Auntie, Auntie, Are you alright?" Mitsuko slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Akari's worried face.
" Ru…Hikaru," Calling herdearson softly, she tried to get up with Akari's help.
" You've fainted, Auntie-Mitsuko, Are you alright?" the young girl repeated the question in deep anxiety since there were 2 patients this time.
" 'Am..I'm fine," Mrs. Shindou said tiredly. Everybody could tell that she wasn't fine at all. " Hikaru?"
" He's still sleeping, Auntie," Biting her lip nervously, Akari replied awkwardly.
" I think you should go home and get some rest, Shindou-san," Morishita stepped forward from the corner.
" No! I want to be here with my son!"the young woman turned down the suggestion right away without the second thought. It wasn't a surprising reaction anyway since her son was in a coma.
" What if anything happens to you right now, what will happen to Shindou-kun?" Kouyo backed up his friend. This woman needs to rest, she looks like she can pass out any time.
Noticing that his friend's sensible reason weighted greatly in Mrs. Shindou's mind, Morishita undoubtedly took this chance, " I've a car, Let me drive you and this young girl home," he offered generously.
Mitsuko gazed at Akari and let out a sigh. The old gentlemen were right, she couldn't collapse now, if she did, who would take care of her son? Besides, this nice girl needed a rest too. " I'm very grateful, sir," she bowed appreciatively.
" Sensei, I'll drive for you," Saeki offered because it was nearly midnight now, it wouldn't be wise to let the man with poor eyesight to drive at this late at night. Nodding,the Sensei accepted the offer. After making Kouyo promise to call her if anything happened to Hikaru, Mitsuko kissed her son on the forehead and halfheartedly left the room in tears.
The octet became the quartet now. The Touyas, Waya and Isumi were still by Hikaru's side.
In Hikaru's dream,
Hikaru woke up and found himself alone in the middle of an endless green field covered with grass.
" Where am I?" he whispered to himself. ' Am I still in Tokyo? I'm heading to Touya's Go salon, aren't I? What happens? Why am I here?' he wondered. Bewildered by the scenery before him, he didn't even notice that he now was in a white Yukata, not his favorite yellow t-shirt.
He was standing in the bright green field, in front of him was a shallow river, beyond it was a land overspread with various colorful flowers.
" Someone is on another shore?" Hikaru walk toward the river. It was difficult to judge from where he was since the land was shrouded in mist. " Damn it! I can't see anything!" he cursed irritably. Out of the blue, a strong wind blew, countless fragile flowers were carried by the speedy wind into the air. The mist was flown away and slowly disappeared. Thousand of vivid petals gently swayed in the air and smoothly fell onto the ground.
Though Hikaru didn't have an excellent visibility but he caught a glimpse of someone on the edge of his vision.
' Black Tate-eboshi…White Kariginu…Red earrings…Long purple hair!' " SAI!" Shouting at full volume, he shed tears of happiness and jumped into the river without the slightest hesitation, " SAI! SAI!" he moved clumsily since the river was deeper than he had thought, the waters reached up to his knees, " Sai! Sai! Sai!" he kept calling that name over and over again like a lunatic.
" Stop right there!"
He was right. It was Sai's voice. Sai in his silky Kariginu was standing right there in front of him, waiting for him on the opposite shore but why… " Sai?" Surprised by his friend's sharp command, Hikaru was extremely startling, " Why! Sai! I…" he took another step.
" I said Stop right there!" Ordering intensely, Sai smiled softly as the tears welled up in his eyes, " Don't come any closer, Hikaru"
