Chapter 13: After The Accident Part 2

He was silent for a moment, and then he finally make eye contact with me, "Naru… is in a coma."

"Naru… is in a coma?"

Lin-san closed his eyes, trying his hardest to stay sane for my sake, "Yes."

I suddenly feel like a thousand knives was stabbed into me… over and over again. Tears stung my eyes but I quickly wiped them away and turned to the motionless figure on the bed.

"Naru," I erratically reached out and took hold of his hand, "T-Tell me it's not true."

No answer came from him. He continued to lay there, motionless like that of a lifeless doll.

"Come on," I said with more forced. Droplets of tear slowly rain down from my eyes, "Why? Why aren't you getting up?"

"Mai," Lin-san gently touched my shoulder, "Even if you cry, he wouldn't wake up."

I stayed silent, composing myself and cried for a few good minutes and then wiped away my tears, making sure my other hand was still holding onto Naru's. "How long has he been like this," I asked quietly.

Lin-san looked sadly down at me, "A week."

I looked up at him, "A week?" I turned away from him, "Then considering that I just woke up, I must have been asleep for a week as well," I mumbled to myself, "Maybe Naru will wake up soon."

"No Mai," Lin-san interrupted me, "Naru won't wake up anytime soon."

I looked at him again, "What do you mean?"

"The accident," he looked away from me to Naru, "was two weeks ago."

"Eh?"

He closed his eyes, "Naru woke up before you. He was up and about until he went to sleep three days ago. Since then, he hadn't woken up once."

I stared at Lin-san for a moment and then I turned back to Naru. I clenched his hand tighter, "Lin-san…"

"Yes?"

"Why Naru," I asked, barely audible.

Lin-san frowned, "I don't know."

I suddenly felt it then. A sudden rush of pain enwrapped me in its embrace. Tears fill my eyes once more and this time, I let it flow freely.

NARU'S POV

Where am I? Why is everything so dark? I could have swore I was dreaming about…

Suddenly, a bright light appeared through the pitch-black darkness. I quickly shield my eyes. What's going on? I started to feel a sudden rush of warmth surround me.

"I have been waiting."

What? I moved my hand away just in time for the light to tone down. My eyes widen at the figure before me. He looked just like me, except for the black ninja-like suit; I mean I wouldn't dare to wear something like that ever.

"Who are you," I asked cautiously.

My look-a-like smiled, "I am Hikaru."

"Hikaru," I repeated his name to myself, 'Sounds familiar.'

He continued to smile, which kind of get on my nerve. "Where are we?"

He looked around the darkness, "I believe it is your dream world."

I raised an eyebrow, "My dream world?"

"Yes," he looked back to me, "Since we're here, would you like to see the continuation of you previous dream?"

I frowned at him, "Why are we here?"

He smiled again, "Did you not want to see the past?"

I stared at him, "Is that a trick question?"

He continued to smile, "No. It is merely a question. But surely you must be curious as to why you kept having those dream?"

I studied him for a bit and then I let out a sigh when I couldn't figure out who/what is he. He took a step forward and reached out his hand, "Shall we?"

I looked at his hand and then at him. I knew what he was implying with his hand, but I had to make sure, "How do I know you're not taking me somewhere else?"

"I would dare not do such a thing," he replied, "for I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

I frowned, "What do you mean?"

The smile on his face disappeared, "For many century, I have waited here in your dream world for the day that you will appeared here. When that time comes, I can finally put an end to this curse."

I took a step forward, "What curse?"

He smiled at me again, "Why bother listening, when you can see it for you're self?"

I glared at him but took his hand nonetheless. I got the feeling that if I don't see it for myself, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

"Let the story begin," he said and then a bright light engulfed us both.
