Chapter 3: Travesty of a heart

The glowing aura grew brighter around Ayaas she was slowly floating in the air. Her body slanted horizontally, her eyes emitting light in the process before they closed shut. The blinding radiance filled the entire room but the teen had not been affected anyhow. Although he stirs from his sleep, he does not wake. Aya was set down, her bare feet touching the wooden floor gently. She strode back to Rei's side and her fingers tangled in his hair.

"Rei…I have come back…but I don't have time…" She said then let out a puff of air "why won't you wake up for me?"

"Rei?" The shocked voice of Aya came only seconds after the sudden action by the other party. "Let me go Rei"

"I won't" He said firmly. He held on her wrist tighter. She tried to wriggle free. Slowly, as the wind blew the leaves and branches of the tree, Otohata Rei walked closer to her. When he stood right behind her, he was about to pull her into a hug but she started to glow. The light disappeared quickly. Aya still stood there, suddenly her figure became transparent then back again. A few moments, she disappeared.

"Aya…" He whispered. He felt himself falling and falling as the tree's roots engulfed him from the ground. His heartbeat gradually failed him while he plunged deeper and deeper into the abyss.

"Wake up for me…"

He opened his eyes widely as he gasped for air. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead with him quickly panting. He scanned the left side of the room, from the bathroom to the door, there was nothing. He looked at his bedside table, switching on the light even if the sun practically glared at him through the window. Rei was moving around quietly after he had jumped out of his bed and went over to his table, pouring himself a glass of water from the pitcher and taking it all in a breath or so. Once he was reassured that nothing was there, he slowly crept back into bed, a sigh of relief coming from his mouth. He sits up straight before recalling the events in his dream. Who had called him? The voice was so distorted that he could not identify it but the words were so clear. Wake up for me… Rei was in deep thought when something stirred in the corner. He had not noticed.

Aya, from the moment Rei opened his eyes, simply stood there. He had seen right through her. She could feel him and touch him…but it was still the same, he couldn't see her. Aya watched him scamper around the room, seemingly terrified that something came in to attack him; it wasn't like Rei to do such act. Once he saw to it that no one was there, he went right back to bed. He was still in deep thought. Aya backed away to the corner when she hit something. A teddy bear rolled from the shadows and into the light emitted by the window. It was a medium sized bear with small brown eyes staring blankly ahead. Its nose was a deep shade of blue as a small curve appeared just below. Aya wanted to pick it up so badly but she changed her mind as soon as she saw another hand on its way to take the toy from its lonely place on the floor. Otohata Rei looked at it with a sudden sadness in his eyes as he dusted it with his free hand. He looked around once again, checking if anyone was really in the room. His head turned to observe the place where the bear came from. It was the dull and dark corner in his room where most of his secrets hide. He never tried to remember why he had made such a place in his quarters. Aya's tears spilled, slowly dripping onto the floor, she followed with her eyes where the drops fell. An urge to smile brightly infiltrated her being as she saw beside her a box filled to brim by different materials. Her name was written outside the box. The dark haired angel wanted to see what was inside; she wanted to remove the cloth that covered the top to hide its contents from unwanted eyes, but she couldn't. She wouldn't want Rei to get scared. A floating cloth isn't exactly logical. Her eyes reverted back to the boy. He was still standing there, his dark orbs staring at the bear. What is it that he sees?

Aya looked at the bear closer for the first time and realized that it wasn't the same with all the other bears she had seen. This one had a bright blue shirt and green shorts, it was adorable in it's own way. Tied around its neck was a golden choker. The band, Aya thought, resembled like a dog's collar except that it was made for humans. How could she tell? "Hoshino Aya", the two words that were engraved on the collar with black ink, "Aya" in the front and "Hoshino" at the back.

Rei's fingers dwindled from the head of the toy and onto the choker. He felt alongside the name and gave out an exasperated sigh. How could he have let her go that easily? Was he that foolish? Without a goodbye, without a sorry. Pathetic, yes he was. How had his own heart mocked him? He was simply to blind to see what was right in front of him. He hadn't realized that everything he ever cared for, he ever loved were slowly being taken away from him. Rei walked back to his bed and plopped down on it as he placed the bear in front of him. He looked at it again. His lips moved. He was talking to the wind.

Aya watched closely as Rei's mouth moved and shaped words. She could not tell what he was saying but she knew, by the looks of the expression on Rei's face, that he was telling the bear something that hurts from inside, something that seemed bottled up in his soul. Stepping away from her place, Aya walked to the lamp and listened there. His voice was soft, his words were gentle hands touching her inner being. He was talking about her.

"This is wrong. Whoever thought that I would be talking to a bear" Rei stated in his unfeeling voice. He paused for a moment as if taking every bit of memory stored in his head the continued on. "I was supposed to give you to somebody…somebody, who I know would take care of you. But I was too late. She's gone now. She moved away, far away where I couldn't reach her."

The bear was silent, it looked at him.

"All in all, I thought she was just a foolish ditzy girl who liked me because of how I looked. That's how everyone looked at me, how everybody liked me. I considered her like she was one of my loyal fans who would crave for me or wait for me just to talk to her. I guess I was half right. She did wait for me, she did wish we could talk, but I refused her, stopped her, and did everything so that she would go away. What was weird was that, she never ceased. No…" Rei froze for a while and realized what he was talking about, nevertheless carried on "She was different, she didn't like me, she loved me. She was foolish but I was more of a cretin. I saw her but I never looked at her, she on the other hand, trusted me, believed in me…" Rei kept on going, talking to the bear about everything he had had shunned inside him. Aya, who had stayed close to the lamp had felt a faint feeling in her already translucent body. She looked at her arm and saw that she was slowly disappearing. It was almost time. Finally, the fainting feeling grew stronger and took over her. She fell to the ground with no sound, hitting the lamp beside her as she fell.

Rei's head snapped to the lamp. It dropped onto the tiled floor. Odd, I swore there was no wind today. Even if there were, it wouldn't be strong enough. Rei stood up once again, leaving the toy on top of his pillow and then bent down. He took the lamp into his hands then set it back to its original place. Moving back to lie on his bed, Rei had once again reached for the bear. It had disappeared. He turned to the pillow, thinking his hand just missed it but it really wasn't there. He shifted around his bed, his mind recalling where he had last placed the bear. It wasn't anywhere. Giving up, he rested his back upon the soft mattress and waited for sleep to consume him again.

Aya sat on the floor, one leg tucked under the other, clutching the bear tightly. She had swiped it from the pillow when Rei had gone down to pick up the lamp she had bumped into. The long haired girl looked down at her body and saw that her stomach had turned transparent as the sun's light reached her but it returned back to its original state when she moved away from the sun. 'This is useless…' She thought 'What good is it to touch and feel if he couldn't see me? Temporary as it may be…I'll never get to him now…' She budged into a much more comfortable position, with the rug underneath her, she had failed the attempt to move in silence for the rug had also went along with her, its dragging noise easily heard by the owner of the room. Before Aya ceased moving, she had hit a table making the contents on top of it fall all on her.

He turned around.
