As I sat there with Yuu suddenly, the door opened, and there was a shout. "Yuu! You're awake!" I backed off, for two reasons. One, so Nene and Yuu could have some space, and two, because I didn't want to get caught up in all this mushy stuff. Gross. "How's Tagiru doing?" I asked my mom. She shook her head. "He still hasn't woken up yet. How did Yuu wake up?" I noticed Kiriha had walked off. "I don't know, I was just sitting next to him, and he, woke up." She nodded, thinking.
Just then, the doctor, whose name was Dr. James by the way, came into the room. "Hey, I heard someone had woken up. How you feeling kiddo?" Yuu didn't answer. The only reason we knew he heard him was because he turned his head to look at him. "Well, can you sit up for me at least?" again, he didn't answer. "Yuu, can you sit up please?" I asked him. This time, he sat up, no hesitation. My mom put a hand on my shoulder. "Let's go get a place to stay. I think they'll want some privacy." We all turned to go, but before I could go anywhere, I felt a hand on my wrist. "Mikey, please don't go, I wanna be with you. Please, can I stay with you?" his eyes were pleading; there was no way I could say no to that face. "Hey, mom, I'm gonna stay here a little longer, ok?" she turned to look at me and said, "fine, but don't get in the way, and wait for me to come get you." I nodded, and pulled the stool over to the corner.
It was about an hour before we were done, mostly because I had to repeat everything Dr. James said in order for him to do it. After that, Nene said he should stay in her room, and she would make sure he didn't get into trouble.
I went to my room and was watching some TV when Kiriha poked his head in the door. "Hey, Nene said that Yuu is trying to get in your room, so just don't freak out if something happens." Before I could respond, he left, and I shrugged. A few minutes later, the door opened, with Yuu standing there. I asked him, "hey, Yuu, what are you doing here?" he still had that blank expression on his face, and I went up to him and grabbed his arm to gently sit him down on the bed. I sat next to him, but he gently tugged on my shirt and asked, "What did I do wrong?" I was starting to get worried now. "You didn't do anything. I'm just worried." "About what? I want to help." I shook my head. "Yuu, I want you to stay here, alright? I'll go get your sister." He nodded, and I went outside to get Nene.
After about a half hour of searching, I went back to my room, to find Nene and Yuu in an argument. "Yuu you need to come back to the room with me, so let's go." She tried dragging Yuu out the door, still not noticing I was there, when Yuu said, "But I wanna stay here. Master's worried, and I wanna help him. Master told me to stay here." Nene was exasperated now, and said, "Listen Yuu, I don't know who 'master' is, but we need to come back to the room." I shuffled my feet a little to let them know I was there. "Hey, Nene, if he wants to stay here he can. I mean, I can keep an eye on him, and you can take a break. Yuu, you wanna stay here, right?" he nodded vigorously, and said, "Please let me stay, I wanna help." Nene sighed and said, "Fine, but be good. I'll catch you later Mikey." I waved at her as she left. After the door closed I asked him, "So who's master?" he looked up at me and said one of the worst things possible at that moment. "You are, Master."
"Listen, Yuu, I don't want you to call me master, ok? Just call me Mikey." He nodded and said, "I really want to help, please, is there anything I can do?" I sighed, and thought, but nothing really came to mind, so I said so. "Just, be careful, ok? I don't want you getting hurt." He nodded and told me if I needed him to call him. I agreed, and he was satisfied with that. "Why don't you watch some TV for a while? That should calm you down." I was about to leave when Yuu spoke again. "Mikey, please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, alright?" I nodded, but an idea came to mind. "Yuu, I don't want that blank expression on your face, ok?" he blinked, and a worried expression replaced it. "I just want to help." He smiled, and then went back to watching TV. Before I could do anything else, another idea came to mind. I sat down next to him and asked, "Hey Yuu did anything, unusual happen after you got hit by those, party-crashers? Answer me honestly, ok?" he turned to me, and then thought for a second. "Well, I had a really bad nightmare, where you were dying, and there was Nene, she was just standing there, looking at me, nothing else. And Kiriha was tearing people to shreds, and eating their insides, and Tagiru was changing his shape, into some scary things. Then there was a mansion, with only one person inside it, a guy, he had dark blue pants and a light blue shirt. Thing is, he had eyes, but no pupils. So his eyes were completely white. He kept showing up, and scaring me." He shuddered, and then continued. "The whole while, there was black sand creeping up my body. It was scary." He certainly looked scared.
Suddenly, Kiriha burst into the room. Something leapt at him, but he moved so fast, I couldn't see what it was. Kiriha punched him in the face, knocking him out the door, and slammed it shut. He turned to us. "Party crashers. But it wasn't the ones from before. These people are, faster, stronger. I've never seen anything like it. I looked at Yuu, then back at Kiriha, and said, "We might wanna hide. I don't wanna get involved." Yuu and I ran into my closet. Kiriha ran somewhere else.
We hid there for about an hour, before I heard footsteps, and my mom opened the closet. "Oh, hi, mom. Where's Kiriha?" she laughed, and I stopped smiling. "We didn't want to get interrupted by the party crashers." I said. She nodded, and then said, "Its ok, their gone. Come on, Tagiru just woke up. I think he wants to see you." She has a worried look on her face, and she beckons for us to follow her. We both stood and followed her, and we head to a heavy metal door, and she takes out a keycard, and swipes it in a key next to the door, and there is the sound of gears grinding, and the doors open, to find a small room, with nothing inside. My mom steps inside, and we follow her. The door closes, and we look up to find a scanner, it moves over us, and then disappears. There was the sound of gears moving, and we start going down. After a few minutes, the elevator stops, and the scanner appears again. I look at my mom, wondering what all the security is about. The doors open, and we step through, and she has to use the key card again. The door opens, and we find everything in ruins. "Where's Tagiru? You said he wanted to see me." Suddenly, there was a scream, and my mom said, "What do you think? Because something tells me that way." She points to where the scream came from. We take off in that direction.
What we find scares me.
Tagiru is surrounded by fifteen of the freaks that chased out of our house, fighting them off, and losing. As we watched, Tagiru took a hit to the head, sending him straight into another freak, who hit him to another, but thankfully, he tripped, so he couldn't get hit again. Unfortunately, one of the freaks stepped on his back, hurting him more. I couldn't take it anymore. "Tagiru! Hey come on, pick on someone who can put up a fight!" I picked up a crowbar, and prepared to fight. I looked over at Yuu, to find he had found a knife from somewhere. He smiled and said, "I'll fight with you. Just count on me." I nodded, but that's when they charged. I don't know what happened; all I know was my brain went into autopilot. Slash, whack, duck, dodge, cut, step. In a couple of minutes there were only two left? I couldn't believe it. We stepped forward to finish them off. "Hold on a second, Mikey. I have a better idea." I stepped back, but kept my weapon ready, just in case. My mom stepped forward, and pulled out something I have never seen before. She held it up, and pulled a trigger, and a net shot out, which caught them both, sticking them to the back wall. I ran over to Tagiru, helping him to sit up. "Tagiru, can you hear me? Come on, you have to be ok." He let out a groan, and then coughed several times. I saw something light green drip from his mouth. "Mikey, I hear you. What's wrong with Yuu?" he coughed again, and more of the light green liquid leaked out his mouth. "Shush, we'll get you to the hospital, just hang in there." My mom came over to us. "I just called them, their on their way over. You still have to hang in there, ok?" he gave a weak nod, and coughed again, more liquid leaking out his mouth. I was starting to think that was blood. He was breathing heavy, so we laid him down on a mattress Yuu found. He continued to cough up blood, and we calmed him down, when the doctors came in. they moved him onto a stretcher and rushed him to the hospital. We got out and decided to go back to our rooms. "Yuu, why don't you get Nene and Kiriha? Bring them over here please." He nodded, and rushed off.
What was taking Yuu so long? I had started to pace my room, waiting for him, when the door burst open. "Mikey, what were you thinking?! You could have been killed!" I was confused, but Yuu came forward, he took ahold of my arm, and we went in the other room. "Listen, Mikey, I'm sorry. I didn't want you to have to tell them, so I did. I thought I was saving you trouble, but I just made more of it. I'm sorry." I put a hand on his shoulder. "Yuu, you were trying to do a good thing. That's what counts in my book, ok? Come on, let go tell the others what happened."
It took nearly an hour of explaining, but we finally came to an agreement. "No more fighting, both of you. If you're going to punch someone… I don't know, punch a pillow or something. I don't want you to get hurt, please." We looked at Nene and nodded, then Yuu said, "Should we, check on Tagiru? It's been a while, and he should be better by now.
What we saw only made it worse. Tagiru had more than five needles in his arm, and he had tubes all down his throat when we talked to the doctors, they said, he had several broken bones, he had lost a lot of blood, but worst of all, he had popped a lung. "I don't think he's going to make the night. I'm so sorry. Only one person I know of could fix this." We looked at Tagiru, and I knew he was right. "So who is this person, which could fix Tagiru? He must be good to fix him." He turned to look at me. "Two things, one, that person is a girl. Second, it would be suicide going after her at this time. Plus, she's on the other side of the world. There's no way you'd make it in time. He would be dead by the time you got back." I looked at him, and then looked at Tagiru. "So you've just given up. You're not going to do anything for a kid who's going to die! You make me sick. Even if you've given up on him, I haven't. Just tell me two things, and I'll be happy. Who is she, and where is she. Please, do it for a kid who's dying, and do it for me." He sighed. "Her name is Maria. Right now, she's in the amazon rainforest. The only way you could get to her is if you had the powers of the ocean. Listen, you need to get there at sun set. Get to the source of the Amazon River. Trust me, she'll be there. But you'd never make it back it time. He'll be dead by the time you get there. Please, people have died going there, so don't do it." I looked at him, and he sighed again, turning his head away. "There's no changing your mind is there. Just tell her isle seven, room twenty. She'll know what it means." I looked at Tagiru, then back at him. "Thank you. You don't know what it means to me." I turned and ran, before he could say another word.
Man, what is it with me and cliff hangers? I guess you'll have to keep reading
