Chapter 7

-----

"Ave Maria, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death."

-----

Where am I?

My head hurts…

"Tezuka!!!"

Urgh…

"Saeki! Can you hear me?"

This voice… sounds familiar.

….

"Saeki, you finally wake up!! I was so worried…"

Opening his eyes, Saeki could vaguely see Fuji's face. The light is blinding him.

"Calm down Fuji, don't strain him too much."

Another figure is standing near Fuji.

"Fuji?" Asked Saeki weakly.

"Don't try to get up. You've been unconscious for some time now." Tezuka told him.

"What happen?" Asked Saeki. "My head hurts so much…"

"Well you hit your head quite badly;" chuckled Fuji "and you've been out for 3-4 days now."

Coming to his sense, Saeki tries to connect everything that he can remember. He remembers how he hit his head and how loud the people are screaming for help. He vaguely remembers being brought to the hospital and someone keep on calling his name.

As he tries to remember, his head starts to hurt again.

"Don't think too much." Said Fuji. "Get some rest, you need it."

Fuji then reaches out his hand, patting Saeki's head, trying to comfort him. Feeling more relax, Saeki closes his eyes when he suddenly realize there is something wrong.

"Why are you here Fuji?"

Hearing the question, Fuji stays still and stop touching Saeki's hair. When he is about to take his hand away, Saeki quickly grabs it.

"You disappear suddenly in high school, not even finishing school." Said Saeki. "Where have you been all this year!!??"

There is clearly anger and confusion in his tone but Fuji stays quiet, same with Tezuka who is standing next to the door. Saeki's grip is getting stronger, leaving a red mark on Fuji's thin wrist but he says nothing.

"I was so worried about you, disappearing like that, without any news." "I contacted your family but they could not help me. As if they don't care anymore…"

"It is because they don't." Said Fuji coldly, staring at Saeki fiercely with his blue eyes.

Shaking off Saeki's grip, Fuji took off from the room without any word, leaving Saeki with Tezuka. None of them say anything for a while that Tezuka decides to leave him alone. However when he is about to leave, Saeki suddenly starts talking.

"We used to be close friends in high school." Said Saeki. "We do stuffs together and hang out till late. We also study together since he's a genius." "He's excellent at everything, studies, sports, you name it. He used to help me a lot back then especially in escaping from school." Said Saeki with a laugh.

That explains the escape… Thought Tezuka.

"Then he suddenly disappears." Continued Saeki. "I thought it will be just for one or two days because he likes to skip school but he never comes back. I contacted his family but they all said nothing. They didn't even report his disappearance to the police. I know his relationship with his family is bad, but I couldn't believe his family would do this! As if they don't care about him at all!!"

"Maybe they don't." Tezuka suddenly interrupt.

Shock with what he just heard, Saeki looks up and faces Tezuka, "How could you say that so easily?" Said Saeki with anger.

"Some family happens to be just like that." Replied Tezuka coldly, without any emotion. Like mine.

…….

Walking up the stairs, Fuji closes his eyes and tries to block out everything from his mind.

Maybe I shouldn't show my face to Saeki after all. Haven't I decided to forget my past when I came here? My heart is still too weak after all.

Unaware of his surrounding, Fuji suddenly runs into Dr. Takada who is going down the stairs. Stumbled, Fuji almost fell if Dr. Takada doesn't catch him.

"Are you ok?" Asked Dr. Takada.

"Yes… sorry about that." Replied Fuji with a smile.

"You look upset."

"No, I'm ok." Said Fuji as he tries to get away from him as fast as possible. He never did like Dr. Takada that much.

"If you want, you can come to my office and we can talk." Said Dr. Takada holding Fuji's arm, tightly.

Feeling suspicious, Fuji tries to shake off his grip but could not. It was unexpectedly strong.

"No thank you, I'm fine really." Smiled Fuji. "You can let go off me now."

"Oh yes… sorry about that." Replied Dr. Takada, also with a smile but an eerie smile. Fuji can feel the atmosphere is changing and there seems to be something unusual about this 'doctor'.

"I will be going then." Said Dr. Takada. "Be careful from now on."

Just as Dr. Takada passes Fuji, he whispered softly to Fuji's ear, "my beloved."

Hopefully it lives up to your expectation ha ha ha…. If it doesn't, I'm sorry then.

I'm sorry also for another cliff hanger and yeah… hopefully my English is better this time.

I try updating Tsuki no Uta soon.

Oh yeah.. and that Ave Maria is because I really like the song (don't know why but I do) and the lyric is nice.
