Chapter 4

Hikari's POV

I heard someone knock on the door, "Takeru, wake up!"

"In a little while, big brother," I mumbled turning around, sleepily opening my eyes. I was about to go back to sleep when my eyes fell on someone lying on the floor.

I quickly sat up. That's right; I am at Takeru's place. The person knocked again.

"Wait, I'll bring some coffee,"

If his mom came in, then I'm done for. I got up from bed and sat on the floor next to him

"Takeru," I whispered poking him in the cheek with my finger. "Wake up," He mumbled something and continued to sleep. This is not good. With all the strength I could muster I shoved him underneath the bed and out of sight and then I snuggled into his bed pulling the duvet over my head hoping his mother wouldn't take it off.

The door opened and his mother came in. I held my breath and curled up in his bed clutching at the duvet hard.

"Takeru, get up," she said shaking my shoulder lightly. "I've brought some coffee, go brush your teeth and then drink it. Now get up and let me see if you have a fever."

I was shocked. I buried my head in the pillow and said in my best disguised voice

"It's okay, I'm fine. Please leave the coffee on the table and I'll drink it a little while," I waited with baited breath to hear her reply.

"Ok, then," she said sounding a little hesitant, "Don't let it get cold. I'm leaving for work. I might be late returning home," And with that she left. As soon as I heard her car leave I sat up and heaved a sigh of relief. That was way too close for my comfort. I unentangled myself from the duvet and stretched.

"Ow" a voice below me suddenly said. For a fleeting moment I didn't know who it was but I burst out laughing and bent underneath the bed.

"Takeru! You're up at last"

"What am I doing down here huh?"

"That's another story. Anyway great timing, if you'd gotten up a few seconds earlier then I would have been a goner for sure,"

"What?" he asked me bewildered as he crawled out from underneath the bed.

Takeru's POV

Hikari continued laughing as she went out of my room. I felt a little bit annoyed at first, but the sound her laughter was like tinkling bells and I couldn't sulk for long. The only words that ran through my head as I heard her laugh was Music to my ears. Hey! Wait a sec! Did I just think that? No way! I tried to erase it off my mind but failed. I felt my cheeks flush.

"Takeru!" Hikari's voice interrupted my thoughts. I walked out of my room.

"What would you like for breakfast?"

"I'll cook," I told her, "You'll be surprised at what a good cook I am."

Just as we were cleaning up, the phone rang. It was Daisuke.

"We were worried about you,"

"We made back in one piece, though it wasn't exactly a piece of cake,"

"What happened?" His voice was a little anxious now.

Judging from the noises in the background, I supposed that the other guys were with him. I quickly explained what happened.

"That was pretty close, you'd better be on the look out man," Daisuke said.

"Come on, don't tell me you're scared," I said with a slight hint of sarcasm in my voice.

"No of course not," he protested, "But remember Prevention is always better than cure,"

"Yeah yeah" I said sarcastically.

"Bye, then"

"Yeah, bye"

"Who was it?" Hikari asked.

"Daisuke" I replied.

Hikari's POV

A whole day passed and I was thankful to Takeru for keeping me entertained. We either played games or I would go and read some of his comics. I never had a thing for reading comics but his comics were pretty good.

The next day

"My big brother Yamato is coming to have dinner today and mom might come home early today to have dinner together" Takeru told me.

"Right I'll stay inside your came and make no noise" I said.

He laughed, "Okay, sorry about the trouble"

I shook my head, "I'm the one who should say sorry."

"How many times do I have to tell you? This is not your fault." Takeru left the room and shut the door behind him.

I smiled to myself. Takeru is the sweetest guy I've ever met and I am really glad I bumped into him that day.

Soon his mother and his brother arrived and I could hear laughter. I felt a pang in my heart as it reminded me about my family. So I decided to slip out and call Taichi. Fortunately Takeru's apartment was in the ground floor so I opened his bedroom window and jumped out.

I went to the nearby telephone booth and called home.

"Hello?"

"Big brother!"

"Hikari, how are you?"

"I'm fine; I'll be back at home mostly in a week."

"Thank goodness, should I tell mom and dad?"

"Not yet. We'll tell them when I come home"

"Okay" He said reluctantly, "Take care, bye"

"Bye"

I ran back to Takeru's window and I saw an envelope cello taped to the window. I tore it open and read the message

We've found you, Hikari Yagami. If you come alone tomorrow midnight to the abandoned school building with your cell phone, then we might consider letting the blond kid live.

I gasped. I felt like exploding. I sank to the floor my face covered with sweat. All of this is my fault. I have to go tomorrow. But it could be a trap. I shook my head. I am going tomorrow, I thought determinedly. Then I thought I heard the door click open behind me.

Takeru's POV

I opened the door and went inside my room. I could see Hikari sitting in a corner.

"What's wrong, Hikari?"

"Oh Takeru" She stammered "Nothing I'm fine" She said her eyes on the floor.

I walked over to her and caught her shoulders but she refused to look at me in the eye.

But there was fear in her eyes and I knew that something was wrong. I caught her hand and wrenched the piece of paper she was holding in it.

I read the note and looked at her. Her face was pale and there were tears in the corner of her eyes.

"I'll go" I declared.

"No" She cried. "It could be a trap."

"Yes that's all the more why I should go"

She looked at me her face expressed fear and shock. She shook her head and replied,

"I've brought you enough trouble already, I'll never forgive myself if anything happened to you," she started crying.

"No," I replied firmly. To my own surprise I found myself reaching out and wiping her tears.

"I'm going and that's final." I heard myself say, my face burning. She winced as I touched her cheek and looked at me startled. I thought I saw a blush creep up her cheeks but she quickly bent down and hid her face from me.

Hikari's POV.

I felt scared and so I started crying. Takeru suddenly reached out and wiped my tears. I was so shocked. I could feel myself blushing but I didn't want him to see me blush so I bent down. My heart was thumping.

Why am I feeling this way?

"Its 10'o clock" Takeru said, "We have 2 hours to go there." I thought his cheeks were red but I was not sure. "I'm calling the other to meet us in front of the park at 11 pm tonight. You lie down." He went to call the others.

I lay down and pulled the duvet up to my chin and hoped everything would be all right.

I could hear Takeru talking to his friends.

"Hello, Ken? It's me, Takeru. Yeah listen." Then he told everything about the note.

"Can you call Leo and Daisuke? I'll tell Rei…Right. Meet you in an hour"

One hour later

"Hikari, here you can have this coat." Takeru gave me a coat.

"Thanks" I wore it. It was a bit big but felt really warm and had a nice smell.

"Take your cell phone. I'll get a torch."

I picked up my cell phone. "Are you sure you'll go?"

"Yes I'm definitely not letting you go." Takeru opened the window, jumped out and held out his hand to help me.

I jumped out. I was feeling very scared. Unconsciously I held Takeru's hand.

Takeru's POV

I was surprised when Hikari suddenly caught hold of my hand. I could feel myself blushing but she didn't notice.

When we reached the park Ken was already there.

"Yo Ken" I called out as we ran up.

"I just arrived. Where are the others?"

"There are Leo and Rei" Hikari pointed.

"Hey guys where's Daisuke?" Rei rubbed his hands together.

"He must have fallen asleep" Leo commented.

"Here he comes" I grinned. Trust Daisuke to fall asleep.

"So did you sleep in?" Ken inquired.

"No..." He panted. "Had a tough time escaping my nosy sister."

We hid in the bushes. The school looked really creepy. I felt Hikari shudder near me. I glanced at my watch. It was 11:55 pm.

"I'd better get going."

"Good luck, man" Ken handed my torch and the cell phone.

"We'll be right here. Call us if you have any trouble." Leo said.

I nodded. Suddenly there was a loud rumbling noise. We all jumped.

"Daisuke's fallen asleep!" Rei said exasperated and placed his hand over Daisuke's mouth as he was snoring loudly. I shook my head in disbelief. I turned and was about to leave when someone grabbed my hand.

"Will you be alright?" Hikari asked me, her voice trembling. I patted her hand and said reassuringly,

"Everything will be just fine. Trust me," And with that I ran towards the old school building.

Hikari's POV

Takeru ran inside the building. I was very scared. I had a bad feeling that something awful was going to happen. I whimpered. I felt a hand on my shoulder

I looked up and saw Rei. He smiled at me

"Don't worry. Takeru's brave. He'll be fine."

I smiled at Rei. I hoped he was right.

We waited for about 15 minutes.

"Where is he?" Daisuke fidgeted about.

"Shut up, Daisuke" Leo muttered.

Suddenly we heard a loud blast

"What was that ?" Ken stood up.

"It can't be" Rei mouthed as pale as a ghost.

All of us suddenly stood up from the bushes. In front of us the whole old school building was on fire.

"That was a bomb blast. It was a trick" Leo gasped.

No! No! This can't be happening. I shut my eyes to prevent the tears from falling but I couldn't. It's all my fault I thought as millions of tears fell down my cheeks.

I closed my eyes again and screamed

"TAKERU!"
