Sasaku tries to open the house door, but it's locked. She tries again knowing that it's useless.
She goes around to the back door. it's slightly ajar and she walks in. "Mom, are you home, asked
the confused sasaku.
Sasaku then walks cautiously up the stairs to her mothers room making sure not to make any
sounds.
" Mom, where are you", asked sasaku out loud.
She opened that door to her mothers room to find no one in sight. She then headed down stairs
and into the kitchen. " Well, mother usually leaves a note on the fridge".
And sasaku's instincts were right, there was a note on the fridge. Sasaku then began to read it out
load.
" Gone to see shikogu in the hospital, I'll be back soon. I love you, love mom".
She then placed the note on the table to her right. Sasaku never cared for shikogu, he would
always yell and sometimes beat saragui for no reason, she has always believed that he blamed
saragui for the death of his wife. Sasaku's stomach then growled and she opened the fridge and
popped some leftover sashimi in the microwave. A few moments passed and she ate her lunch.
After she finished she put her plate in the sink and decided to take a quick nap. She lowered
herself into bed and stared at the ceiling until her eyelids got heavier. She slowly closed her eyes
and fell into a deep slumber.
" Saragui, are you there?', said sasaku as her voice echoed into space.
There was no reply. Sasaku then started into a jog, she didn't care where she was going. She just
wanted to get ' there '. She sped her pace into a run , then into a full sprint. She ran as fast as
possible , but didn't go anywhere. She then sat where she stood and started to cry. She let all her
pain go that was bottled inside of her. " Saragui! I love you! I can't live without you...You were
always there for me, and you had to leave. Why? I don't understand", screamed sasaku.
Sasaku then slowly lifted her head. She saw a faint figure in the twilight ahead of her. " Saragui, is
that you", asked the puzzled sasaku.
The figure said nothing as it continued to walk towards sasaku. The mysterious figure stopped
about twenty yards from where sasaku stood. At that very moment, sasaku realized it was saragui.
Saragui smiled, he began to mumble, but sasaku couldn't make out what he was saying. The all of
a sudden he burst out screaming, " HELP ME!".
The figure then caught fire and screams continued to come from the figured as it slowly went to the
ground. Sasaku tried to run and help him, but it was no use. the figure then laid on the white pearl
floor with smoke rising from his charred body. A black ring surrounded the figure from the sought,
a incomplete burn. the figure sank through the floor in the direction of hell. " No!", screamed
sasaku as she jolted from her sleep. She instantly came back to reality. Realizing she just had a
serious nightmare, she began to ponder. " Is saragui really alive? No! I can't let myself believe that
he's gone. I won't!", thought sasaku as if she was fighting with another personality. Sasaku's
mother then arrived home. " Sasaku, are you here?", asked the mother.
" Yes, I'll be right down', replied sasaku.
Sasaku then stood up and stretched and then yawned. She walked down the stairs with one hand
on the rail beside her. " What's wrong mom?", asked sasaku as he saw the grim face of her
mother's.
" Shikogu's dead, he died while i was holding his hand", replied the mother.
" That bastard disserved it. He would treat his son horribly and drink all day", said the apathetic
sasaku.
" How can you say that? Go to your room, I don't want to see you for the rest of the night",
screamed the morose mother.
With no expression on her face, sasaku when up the stairs and back to her room and locked her
door. She then sat down on her bed and cried herself back to sleep.
" I'm tired, I'm just going to lie here and take a nap", said the exhausted saragui as he yawned.
Just as saragui got ready to lie down, soldiers ran passed his door yelling , " Yokohama is under
attack by the federation!".
" Everyone to your ships and get prepared to fight!", said another soldier.
" My hometown, this is my chance to help fight and see sasaku", said the happy yet sad saragui.
he then ran to the door , opened it and ran down the hall. As he turned a corner he ran into
takanata. " Hey, where do you think your going?", asked the general.
" My hometown is under attack and I need to do something to help", replied the anxious saragui.
" You haven't finished your training, so back to your room, now!", commanded the general.
She then turned around and ran to get to her ship. Saragui then started walking to his room. He
stopped twenty feet from his room and looked around. he saw noone was aroound so he took a
left into the aircraft room. " Which one should I choose", thought saragui.
He needed no secound thoughts , saragui stepped into a AD Fighter jet. At that moment, two
other piolets came barging into the room. " We need to hurry", said the first piolet.
Saragui ducked down. " OK, I'll take this one and you take that one', said the secound piolet as
he pointed to two different jets.
The first jet was a 2025 model bomb carrier. the other jet was the very same jst saragui was in.
Saragui heard footsteps come near the ship and suddenly they stopped. Saragui became very
nerviuos. " This one is too old, it won't keep up with my standards", said the piolet.
A sigh of relief came over saragui as the piolet jumped into another jet. The large door opened for
the jets and both of them were off to fight for the TAF. The pilots left the door open, which
created the perfect opertunity for saragui to leave. Saragui then thought about the simulation. " this
can't be harder then the simulation, I'll do what i did before'.
The jet started and moved into posistion. Out the door he went , on his way to Yokohama.
" Hey sasaku, could you go to the store and pick up a few items. I'm really sorry for yelling at
you. It's been a depressing day', said sasaku's mother.
" Sure, I'll be right down in a minute", replied sasaku from her bedroom.
Sasaku stood up from her bed and went to the window. She clasped to sill in front of her. She
then leant out the window and stared aty the sky. She then took a deep breath. " Sasaku, are you
going to go to the store or not?', asked the now irate mother.
" I'm comming", said the depressed sasaku.
She walked to the door and opeded it. She then walked down the stairs to see what her mother
wanted at the store.
" This jet hadels easy", said the over confident saragui out loud as he put the oxygen mask on.
He then lent over to see what was out the window to his left. All he could see was clouds and faint
glimpses of earth below. He then begin to think that maybe he'll see sasaku in Yokohama. He then
took a glimpse at his compass -- South West -- " OK, well, i'm going in the right direction",
mumbled saragui to himself. A moment passed and saragui began to dose off. " Wait a minute!
Could't i just go home and not have to worry about anything...no i can't, the president said he had
an eye on me and if i run away, he'll track me down for sure", said the dissapointed saragui as he
hit the cockpit window with his fist.
He began to ask himself too many questions that he himself didn't know the awnsers to. In the
thoughts that he was having, he wasn't paying attention and didn't realize where he was going. "
Oh shit! ", said saragui as he veered to his left. " Whew, that was close. i almost smashed into
those trees back there. I need to keep my mind clear and focused", said the surprised saragui as
he passed a mountain that was covered in the clouds to his right. With persperation on his face, he
headed to Yokohama.
