Matches and Maddness!
Chapter five: Life without you isn't sweet
Disclaimer: The only things I own are Eye of Oniarshi, Run Down, IRUKA, POW POW! KO! and Deadly Wishes (FUTURE STORY!)! So, if your NOT a COMPLETE idiot, then you'd know that Rockman.EXE is not listed there! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD! Also, Kaoru Kishimoto belongs to the creators of Hikaru No Go! I just happen to be a BIG fan of him! Sigh... Kishimoto-kun...
I swear I'm not bashing Madoi! For story purposes I made her sick and other things... Did you guess what she has? Let me give you a hint: you have to have a cold first before it becomes this illness! What? Madoi didn't have a cold? Actually, she did, a very minor one that got very bad during her six and a half hour nap in the rain... So... What does she have? I'll let the doctor answer that for you!
I just drew an awesome picture of Kishimoto! I've just noticed... Kishimoto is kinda like Ishida from Bleach! I like them both! OrihimeIshida forever! Orihime looks like a brown-haired version of me! Both of us have a strong best friend that has short hair... We're also very oblivious to things!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinoken and the other sat out in the waiting room. They had resently found out that Madoi had a fever of a hundred and four! Then the doctor came out... "Mr. Hino... Can I talk to you and your friends alone?"
"Sure..." Hinoken and the others got up and walked over to Madoi's room, number one sixty-five...
"Your friend has bacterial pneumonia... We've tried everything we can to make her fever go down, but... Her fever is getting worse! I remembered that you said she was passed out on the bench... What I'm thinking is she had this BEFORE she passed out... I've heard that people can sometimes pass out when they have pneumonia... The rain made the pnumonia worse and she's now in a comotose-like state... I'm afraid she doesn't have much longer to live..." the doctor said in a sad tone. "I suggest saying your good-byes now, before it's too late..."
"Okay... I understand... Saloma, I think you should go first... I want to go last..." Hinoken looked down at his feet and walked into the waiting room followed by Hachiko and Tesla...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saloma sat in the seat next to Madoi's lifless body. "You were a great customer... You always had some thing to talk about. You were fun to have around..." Saloma had tears in her eyes.
"You were also good with Hachiko and I thank you for that. I'll tell you a secret! I never got to see Hachiko grow up into a teenager... I don't like sharing that with customers, but you're different!"
"You always cracked me up with your sense of humor! I loved having you around! We could have grown to be good friends... But sadly... It has to end this way..."
"I've never lost someone close to me before. I hope this is the last time... Losing you, I'm losing a friend-like person and I regret that I had never told you that you're a good person... I hope you find a good place in heaven... I'm sad to say this, but... Good-bye, Madoi, I hope to see you again..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hachiko came in an sat in the chair next to Madoi's bed. "I've never been in a situation like this before... I never thought I'd lose a friend so early in my life..."
"You helped me through a difficult time in my life... And I thank you for that!" Hachiko's eye welled up with tears.
"I'll pray for you when your gone, so don't worry! I'll pray every day! I want to make you happy... So, I hope that will make you happy!"
"There's no replacement for you... I can tell you that! There's something I've been meaning to say to you... Have a nice day!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tesla entered the room and remained standing up. "I was never nice to you and now I regret it... We could've been a dynamic duo! We could've been beach buddies! Instead... We bickered and insulted eachother... I was stupid for being so mean..."
"If you were in my position, here and now, I'm pretty sure you'd say the same thing... So, I hope that you find it in your heart to forgive me... I know I don't deserve it, but I'd forgive you..."
"Good-bye... Madoi... I'll see you around, 'kay?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you sure he's the one, Steven?" asked a purple-haired woman wearing a red shirt and a white mini-skirt.
"Yes, Win, he's the one. I'm sure of it!" said a silver-haired man wearing a white suit with a black collared shirt and a grey tie. He also wore a hat with the same colors.
"When should we start?" asked a purple-haired man who wore a black vest and pants and an orange shirt.
"In about a week, Will... Karen! Get the files ready! We need to learn more of the habits of this Momoko person..." Steven called to a light blue-haired woman wearing a black dress.
"Coming up! Steven! Got any good predictions, Will?" Karen looked over at Will, who was looking at her, so she winked.
"Hmm... Momoko has a sister... That is all I can see." Will said obviously ignoring Karen. "Now I see... Blood... Blood covering the roof of a building... It is not Momoko's blood... It is... A man's blood... I cannot see the man's face... Blood is coming from his stomach... That is all I see." he said in a cool, calm, monotone voice.
"Hey, Will's predictions are ALWAYS right... Maybe she killed a guy already? Or... She's gonna kill someone... But who?" Win looked at Steven waiting for a reply. "What do you think about this, Steven?"
"We track her down... All we need is a good lead! I know this guy will help! If Will's prediction is right... Then we can stop the man from dying by catching her before it happens!" Steven said in a confident voice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinoken came in and plopped down on the chair. "Saying this... Saddens me to death... But, I'm gonna miss you..."
"We may argue a lot... But... We make a good team! I was hoping you would be talking to me on my death bed... But, things didn't turn out right..." Hinoken started to cry.
"Being with you was one of the only joys in my life... And that's no lie!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saloma and Hachiko sat in the waiting room, it was about 10:43 PM. "Mom... I'm going to get something from the vending machine... I'll be back shortly." Hachiko walked away towards the vending machine and put one hundred zenny in the slot and she pushed a button. A soda can popped out.
Hachiko started to walk back, but her feet were to close to the bench... So... She tripped... "Ow!"
"Are you okay?" asked a tall, slender, black-haired young man. His bangs came off to the side and were down to his nose. His eyes were chocolate brown. He wore a burgandy long-sleeved, zip-up shirt and long, black pants. He also had oval-shaped glasses. "Let me see your ankle..." Hachiko took off her shoe to reveal black and blue around her ankle. "I think it's a sprain... You should get a doctor to look at it." He looked up at her. "Hey... Aren't you Hachiko Sakuraba who ranked third out of all the third-years in our school? You're in several of my classes!"
"Uh... I think so... But, I don't recall you in any of my classes... I don't remember your face... Um... Which classes do you have with me?"
"Algebra, Science, Language Arts and Social Studies! We sat next to eachother last semester! But, of course, I'm kinda quiet..." he grabbed Hachiko's arm and put her arm around his neck and helped walk.
"I'm very sorry... I'm kinda oblivious to things around me! It's not your fault that I don't remember you! What is your name?" she looked up at him and smiled.
"Oh... I'm Kaoru Kishimoto! This is the first time I get to talk to the third ranked person in our school! Us top-ranked students aren't usually popular... Maybe you can eat lunch with us!" Kishimoto smiled back at her. Hachiko felt weird to be happy at such a sad time...
"Wait... You said "us top-ranking students"... Meaning you got a high score... What rank did you get?"
"Um... First... My friend Ryo got second... She's real nice! She's in our class too!" Kishimoto looked down at Hachiko. "Why are you here so late? It's a school night!"
"My friend... She's dying..." Hachiko looked down at her feet... "Why are you here so late?"
"I do volunteer work here... I read to the elderly and I play board games with them too. And... I'm sorry to hear about your friend... What does she have?"
"Pneumonia... Her fever won't go down... I heard from the doctor that she has a ninety-five percent chance of dying tonight... I can only pray for the best." Hachiko had a tear in one of her eyes.
"I'm so very sorry... I wish I could help you in some way..."
"You're helping me right now! You're taking me to a doctor!" They were now half-wauy down the hallway.
"I meant about your friend..."
"Oh!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinoken stopped crying. "Madoi... I regret never telling you this... But... I've grown to love you! I was so scared of rejection that I... Was afraid of telling you... Now it's too late..."
"Good-bye, Madoi... I hope you have a good afterlife!" Hinoken said as he exited the room.
The rain has stopped...
