Sorry 'bout the delay. Here they are:

Summary: Raimundo centric and in mostly Raimundo's POV. After having several weird experiences Raimundo starts worry if anything is really real. Slight swearing.
The beginning is a little repetitive but I already know that thanks.

Chapter 7-
I woke up to a rather worried Kimiko standing over me. I was outside lying on the ground. I halfway remember being outside but I don't remember passing out again.
"RAIMUNDO!" she shouts shaking me, when she realizes I was coming around, "You passed out again! Are you sure you're all right? This can't be normal."
"I'm fine," I lie, there's no way in hell I'm fine and I'm a hundred percent sure on that one.
"Good," Kimiko says and then shouts at me, "YOU HAVE US ALL WORRIED SICK OVER YOU!"
"Could please stop shouting, I'm not deaf," I say covering my ears.
"Apparently," she snorts annoyed. "Something's wrong with you."
"Shut up," I say, neither denying her accusation not agreeing with it.
She shook her head exasperating, "You need a cat scan."
"Could you leave me alone," I growl at her with a little more anger than she deserved.
"Oh sure, I stay all worried over you this WHOLE time and the first thing you want when you come to is for me to leave you alone!" she accuses, angrily pointing at me.
"It has nothing to do with you," that was a half lie, she's annoying but I also need sometime to think. So that's what I tell her, not the first part mind you.
"So, you do agree that you have a problem?" she asked twisting my words.
"No, just… damn it, just go!" I yell at her annoyed. Getting a better idea, "Look, never mind I'll leave."
Without another word I jump up off the ground and take off, heading away from her hoping she doesn't follow. I want to turn around and make sure, but I can't do that.
I sit down under a tree at the temples end nearest the mountains. I once heard there was a weird creature up there. Okay, remembering that was totally random and I know it, but for some reason I just do.
I lie back against the trunk and shut my eyes. I want to know if I remember anything; did I hallucinate again? If I did I don't remember. Why is this happening to me? Did I do something to deserve this? Those questions and many more cross my mind, but I don't have any answers.
What if this is not reality?
I grit my teeth I don't want to think of that. Of course it is. There's no way I've been living in a mental hospital the past two years. I mean there's no way… but that's what anyone in my position would think.
There are crazy people out there that live in fantasyland and they believe it's real.
I shake my head annoyed. These weird thoughts, they don't feel my own. Is someone messing with my head? What if someone is doing this to me? How could someone do this to me… it's not possible. These thoughts, these things, they're internal; I can't blame them on anyone else.
I open my eyes. I jump when I'm somewhere I don't remember being. Scanning the area I still don't know where I'm at. It looks like a park or something; there's a building on one side and it's all fenced in.
"Honey," a voice calls to me.
My heart skips a beat as I twist around to the direction of the voice. A woman stands there, staring at me. She looks so much like me.
"Mom?" I asked still shocked, the mother I knew died last year.
She nodded and ran over to hug and kiss me, "I love you."
"I love you too," I tell her feeling content just sit wrapped in her arms.
She's crying.
"What's wrong?" I ask worried.
"It's just that I'm so happy," she says and then looks apprehensive.
I get a shock back to reality remembering that this is just an illusion. I shake my head. Man, my mother? My head's really crazy now.
She frowns as if reading my thoughts. "Honey, I want you back, please I need my little boy."
"This isn't real," I tell her sadly shaking my head violently, I want this hallucination to end, I can't bear it any longer. "Please just stop."
I feel her arms wrapped around me and I quickly pull away, "My mother isn't alive. She's dead! She died!"
I remember the day that I got that letter from my father very clearly. We'd been practicing all day.
"Raimundo, you have mail," Kimiko had said as she shoved the letter into my hands; we'd been fighting and she was mad.
I read the letter at least twelve times, each time my heart had sank a little more. That day, two weeks before Christmas, my mother had died in a car accident. It had parrelled the first worst day in my life; the day my sister had died. It didn't get any better from there. Regardless, last Christmas was the worst I'd ever had. It didn't help that the other monks were trying to cheer me up.
"Raimundo, honey, I'm not dead," she says, snapping me back into the present.
I shake my head again. I'm doing that a lot lately.
"Raimundo, you're mother's telling the truth," it's that stupid doctor again.
"SHUT UP AND JUST GO AWAY!" I screamed at him and run from them.
Two surly looking guys in white grab me and I'm fighting to get away from them. I scrunched my eyes shut in anger.
"Raimundo," I hear Omi's voice.
There's still someone grabbing me. Hesitantly I open my eyes. Clay's got a hold of me but he soon let's me go.
"Are you okay?" Kimiko asks.
"You were screaming," Omi tells me.
"No," I sigh, "and don't want to talk about it. Just leave me alone."
"That's all you say now days, 'leave me alone'," Kimiko tells me annoyed, "if you're not careful I'll leave you around forever!"
"Look, I'm sorry, I need to be alone for now, that's all," I tell her and push past the three of them to go inside.
End of Chapter 7
Yes, I know I add a lot of my own stuff to make it easier for me; i.e. dead sister, dead mother, but oh well. That's how it is in this story.
Review please!
