The Forgotten Children That Weren't To Be Remembered
Chapter 6
I was hoping to see the beautiful blue eyes when I wake up, but my hopes shattered when I saw nothing but darkness. I hate being alone, it reminds me of unwanted memories of the past…
"Mitsuko…."
I felt my eyes widened as I heard the voice of the man whisper behind me. I didn't dare to turn around, for I know that he was there breathing on my neck. There was a sudden touch to my shoulder and I collapsed to the floor when he whispered to me.
"After you see this… you'll remember…"
When I decided to turn around, I was no longer surrounded by darkness… instead I ended up back at the orphanage. 'Am I awake? Wait… this place looks too new…'. I looked a around a bit more and finally decided that I was dreaming after I closed my eyes and pinched myself. Of course it hurt, but since I didn't see Naru when my eyes reopened.
I started to walk around the house and noticed a girl who was around 7 years old looked kind of like me when I was younger. Except she had longer chestnut brown hair that reached down to her chest. Her eyes were a darker color than mine and she was a lot younger than me. She was standing in the hall way with a women, who must have been her mother.
'she must be Mitsuko…', I thought.
The women kept yelling at her and tears were starting to roll out of the girls eye. "DON'T YOU DARE CRY! Some one who's useless and dumb as you don't deserve to cry! I cant believe I gave birth to such a monster like you… I wish I never gave birth to you!"
"B-but….", yelled Mitsuko
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!", interrupted the mother. "I told you not to use you physic abilities and you used them! I have no use for monster who wont even listen to a word I say!"
"But the boy was going to fall to his death! You cant expect me not to save him!", she retorted.
The mothers face was red with furry, then as quickly as paper that has catch on fire… Mitsuko got slapped. "Shut up, I don't want to hear your stupid excuses!".
Mitsuko held a hand up to her face as she started to cry. She then ran down the hall and went toward the living room. She slammed the door open, her eyes met the eyes of her father. She started to cry harder as she ran to him and jumped onto his lap. Her father just gave her a comforting hug and waited for the girl to calm down.
"D-daddy…", Mitsuko tried to speck between sobs. "A-am I really a m-monster? W-why d-does mommy hate m-me? D-do you h-hate m-me too?" "shh….", he tried to calm the girl as he held her closer to him now. "don't worry, you're not a monster. Even if you were I will always love you, and your mother is just… like that I guess… but don't worry, you have me. You don't need anyone else other than me ok? I'll always be there for you. If you're lost, I'll be the one who'll find you. If you ever need someone to talk to, then I'm all ears…". he kissed her on the forehead and she gave a slight smile at him.
Even though I knew the father was trying to kill me, I couldn't help but feel happy for them. I just stood there as I watched the girl looking so happy being with her father. I envied her, yet at the same time I felt bad. She had a mother who hated her, but had a father that loves her. For me… I had a mother… even though she wasn't my real mother, she loved me. My father died before I could have much memories of him…. I guess me and Mitsuko are opposites in some way, huh?
The scene changed from a happy moment to a terrifying one. I was standing a meter from two figures, my feet couldn't move as I watched the scene before me scar me for life. One figure was Mitsuko, and the other was her mother. Her mother just stabbed Mitsuko right in the gut. Mitsuko screamed in pain as blood soaked through her baby blue dress.
"DIE! DIE! JUST DIE! I DON'T NEED A MONSTER FOR A DAUGHTER! GYAHAHAHA!", the mother kept laughing almost as if she was insane.
Mitsuko dropped to the ground, gripping her wounds, as her mother pulled the knife that pierced through her body. It didn't stop at that though, the mother grabbed her daughter's hair and dragged her to the washroom upstairs where Mai had been attacked.
'OH GOD! NO!' I screamed, but I couldn't move my feet to help the girl. It was almost as if someone had nailed my feet to the ground. 'NOOO!'
Mitsuko's mother kept dragging her daughter to the bath tub. When she finally reached where she wanted to be, she threw Mitsuko into the bath tub and turned on the water. She pulled her daughter's hair back, Mitsuko started struggling but soon stopped when the knife her mother was holding stabbed into her heart. Her body started to slowly lose it's movement and soon went limp.
I covered my mouth as I watched the bath tub being filled with blood. 'I-I… don't want to see anymore…. Where's gene? I don't want to see this anymore!". I tried to wake up but I couldn't… I couldn't tear my eyes away from the dead body. Mitsuko's head hung over the edge of the bath tub staring at me… but I ended my staring contest with her to look at her mother who kept cutting and laughing at her daughter who just lay there. I closed my eyes, shutting them tightly, but against my will… my eyes shot back open and refused to closed when I commanded it to.
"watch Mitsuko, you need to remember!", said the father.
'oh god… he's forcing me to watch!' I screamed.
When the mother finally realized her daughter was dead, she started laughing more. "HAHA, I FINALLY KILLED THE MOSTER! HAHA! FINALLY!". She then did something I wasn't really expecting… she started to skin her daughter. She first started by cutting and ripping open her stomach pulling out all her organs with her hands, then proceed to pull the heart out. She dumped the organs in to the laundry basket, and went back to cutting the skin piece by piece, dumping it into the basket. The smell of blood filled the air more and more as each cut was made to her daughter. When the mother was finally done skinning her daughter and left nothing but bones, she grabbed another basket and dumped the bones in there and carried the two basket out of the was room.
The scene changed again, they were outside and the sun was setting. They were in some ally way, and all I could see was a few hungry dogs. I was kind of relieved when I didn't see blood anymore… if I wasn't dreaming and I saw that…I'd be puking or fainting could so be an option. I snapped out of my thoughts when a car pulled over at the entrance of the ally way. I turned to look but only to noticed Mitsuko's mother, who was carrying a basket of flesh.
The dogs started barking more and more as the mother walked closer. When she was close enough she flipped the basket over and the flesh dropped out onto the floor. she then walked back to her car and drove off.
I just stood there watching the dogs with disgust as they gobbled the meat. once again, the scene changed but this time it was the back yard of the orphanage. There was a huge a fire that reached about 3 meters into the sky. Inside the fire, it was burning the bones… Mitsuko's bone. Waterfalls poured down my face as I watch the scene reveal before me. 'Gene… please… Naru… Naru, help me… I-I want to wake up… please…". I was now sobbing quietly to myself, hoping someone can wake me up from this nightmare but no help came as the scene had changed again.
The mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room, covered in blood and smiling to herself almost as if she accomplished something to be reward for. When the father came home… he was shocked to see his wife covered in blood and his daughter no where in sight. Before he could say anything, his wife ran up to him and gave him a hug, then started to rant on what she did.
"LISTEN TATSUYA! Guess what! I finally got rid of that monster, ahaha!", she shouted insanely.
Tatsuya's eyes were wide with shock. It stayed like that a for a few minutes before he snapped out of his daze. "Kyoko… YOU DID WHAT!"
"Yes! Yes! I killed her! Ahaha, she's dead aren't you proud? I even hid the evidence, all we need to do is clean up the blood…", she said excitedly, but before she could say any more, Tatsuya ran around their home looking for his precious daughter, but had no luck. He then turned his body and was now facing his wife who had an excited look on her face but soon dropped when he yelled at her. "WHERE THE HECK IS HER BODY! TELL ME NOW!".
"Why? Aren't you happy she's dead? She ruined our lives!".
"NO! IM NOT HAPPY, IN FACT I CANT BELIEVE YOU KILLED HER… SHE DIDN'T EVEN RUIN OUR LIVES, YOU DID! IF YOU TRIED TO LOVE HER, YOU COULD HAVE SEEN JUST HOW PRECIOUS SHE IS! NOW TELL ME WHERE SHE IS BEFORE I DO SOMETHINGTO YOU!"
"…"
"KYOKO!"
"I… I fed her meat to some hungry dogs… and burned her bones to ashes…"
With those final words, Tatsuya snapped. He grabbed his wife to the kitchen, and then pulled out a knife. He kept stabbing her, ignoring her screams, till she was completely lifeless. Right before she died, she somehow pulled the knife that she killed her daughter with from her back pocket and stabbed him in the heart.
"IF I DIE, SO DO YOU!", those were her last final hearts before she died when a knife slashed her throat open, causing blood to spray all over the man. Soon after Tatsuya died next to his wife.
I was once again the darkness waiting for something to happen when I knew I wont be waking up anytime soon. When I looked up dude to footsteps walking towards me, it was Gene.
"Where the heck were you?" I cried, "I didn't want to see that!"
"Sorry Mai, but Tatsuya blocked me and I tried my best to get to you before you could see something like that…", apologized Gene.
"that's ok… I just want to wake up… please wake me up.." "sur-"
I looked up to Gene as he stopped talking all of a sudden. He was staring at something, so I follow his eye sight and spotted Tatsuya.
"do you remember now, Mitsuko?"
"You got the wrong person! I'm not Mitsuko, I'm Mai Taniyama! You got the wrong person!", I shouted back.
"No, you're Mitsuko… I know it…."
"No, I'm no-" "Tatsuya, she's right you got the wrong person, this girl is not your daughter… so please move on…", interrupted Gene.
"NO! not until I find my daughter! I finally find her and a guy like you is keep her from me! NOW GO AWAY!" When Tatsuya shouted that, Gene started to disappear slowly. "GENE!", I shouted.
"Mai! I need you to wake up now! Just close your eyes and calm down. He's going to use this chance to kill you since you're frightened, so wake up now!", Gene faded into the darkness.
'great.. You want me to calm down…. And you tell me he's going to use this chance to kill me.. Yeah I can so calm down now…' I thought sarcastically, but did as I was told. I could hear the foot steps coming closer to me when I closed her eyes, but I ignored it… I slowly calmed down… and soon I was fading from the darkness. I could hear Tatsuya yelling and shouting for me not to leave… but I loved life and Naru too much to give it to some spirit who mistaken me for his daughter.
"-ai! Mai!" I listen to the voice that was calling my name… 'it's Naru'… I thought. I slowly opened my eyes to meet my boyfriends worried blue eyes, but before I could say anything, he pulled me up into an embrace. I blushed madly as he started kissing me non-stop, "N-Naru!" I shuttered.
"You've been asleep for 2 days! If you ever sleep that long next time, I'm deducting your pay check, you idiotic moron!" he shouted.
Mai opened her mouth to say something back, but instead Naru used the opportunity to French kiss her. Mai was lost in the kiss and did not notice that people were watching them.
"AHEM!" coughed Bou-san, "um… sorry to ruin the moment but did you forget were in the room too?"
The couple stopped kissing and looked toward the door. John was blushing, Lin just looked away, Masako showed a look of disgust, and as for the rest… they were smirking and started to tease the couple.
"AWH! Please continue on! Just pretend we aren't here!", Yosuhara said cheerfully.
"yup! don't mind us! Continue on!", agreed Bou-san as he pulled out his cell phone to take a picture or video.
"Mai if you ever get pregnant, feel free to come to my hospital any time! I'll personally deliver you baby!", winked Ayako.
Mai blushed madly, Naru just glared at the group which made them shut up and caused everyone to leave the room.
Before Lin left he said something to the couple, "Taniyama-san, Naru was really worried… he didn't sleep for the two days when you were asleep", with that he left the room.
Mai blushed even more at that statement. If her face got any redder, she was afraid it'll stay that color.
The room fell silent, till Naru kissed her on the cheek and hugged her. "I love you… don't you dare do that again, you hear me?", demanded Naru.
Mai couldn't help but chuckle at him. He raised and eyebrow showing some impatience in his eyes. "Yes, I love you too Naru… and I promise…", with that Mai kissed Naru again.
After a few minutes of kissing, they returned back to the base, but was only to be teased again.
