As I started writing the third chapter this suddenly appeared in my mind yelling to be written. The interludes will be parts of Yami's past, starting from day one and onward... but they can be anywhere in the years from when Netto vanished and returned to Japan a Yami.

Ghost from the past

Interlude: The Past- Part One

It was a quiet day, the sun was not the brightest and the birds didn't sing quite as gaily... is truth it was just one of those quiet days nothing ever happened.

It a large gray building known as 'New Beginning's' Hospital, and just as the name said it was a place where people began new lives. Here children were healed, then sent out in the world to live. They went out with something they hadn't before, a will to live and live life to the fullest... a new beginning.

It was on this day, a Saturday to be exact that something did happen... something unexpected.

A hospital patient woke up; well you the readers would say, why would they... well let me just tell you why this is so important. This patient was a young eleven-year old boy with no identification, he had been found washed upon shore in an terrible awful condition... in fact so bad the doctors thought he would die.

But the unconscious boy held on to life with an iron grip, the doctors saved his life and set his many injuries to heal... but by then the boy had fallen into a light coma.

For two weeks he was in a coma no one thought he would wake from, well today he proved them all wrong... he woke up.

The first thing he became aware of was pain, it screamed at him from every nerve ending and seemed to also come from every particle of his body.

He also felt a sense of lost, for what he did not know at this point.

In his mind he seemed to see a rope or bond of something blocked, it seemed important but at the moment he couldn't seem to remember why that bond should be so important. (1)

Slowly he began to open his eyes: he found this task to be harder then he thought; it was as if someone had sewed them closed while he was asleep.

'But why would anyone sew eyes closed' his tired mind thought, it was just a silly thought after all.

Finally after what seemed like hours, but was in truth only minutes, he opened his eyes.

And as quickly as he opened them he closed them, the world seemed to be overly bright and powerful to his eyes... and his eyes felt very sensitive at this point.

He gave a small groan, he was still in pain but it seemed more muted now that he was totally awake. Slowly he opened his eyes, this time he allowed them to adjust to the light.

'Where am I?' he thought in confusion, he moved his head back and forth slowly trying ignore the jolting pain he felt in his neck when he moved it too fast.

He couldn't recognize anything in fact; he started to feel a bit panicked to be told the truth.

'Wait... what's my name!' he thought in shock, his face paled as he realized something. He knew nothing, everything was a blank... it was as if someone had erased his past from his mind.

'What's wrong with me, why can't I remember anything' the boy thought, he tried to get up to call for help but couldn't. He felt a whimper of pain escape him as he lay upon the bed, he felt tears gather in his eyes... he couldn't even move because the pain was so great.

A few moments later a middle aged woman looked into the room, when her gaze settled on the wide awake and very upset boy her brown eyes widened... then shouting something he couldn't hear she vanished from the door.

The boy blinked, that had been very weird.

Less then a minute later a man in a white coat of some type rushed into the room, quickly he began to look him over and the boy realized the man was checking his heath.

Finally the man turned to look at the boy, then he spoke... what came out of the mans mouth seemed to be nonsense. (2)

"Nani?" the boy said completely baffled, the man and woman exchanged looks and the boy realized that it would be a very long time till anything would be right ever again.

(1) This bond is the one between Netto and Rockman, somewhere in the story, interludes or sidestories I promise to tell you how the bond was blocked.

(2) The doctor was speaking English, Netto is Japanese and I know that they learn English in Japanese schools but in mine they don't.
