Chapter Three: Moving In
As I looked out the window of the taxi cab that was taking me to who knows where, I tried to figure out what the heck I was going to do. First off, I did a mental check list of everything that I did know. One, I had been hit by a car. Two, I couldn't speak for about a month because of the whole number one thing. Three, I was in a fictional world, but my body was still in a hospital in my world. How is that even possible? I knew that I was in a coma, but I never feel pain in my dreams, and yet, I felt the pain of my injuries. This gave me the conclusion that I wasn't dreaming, but if I wasn't dreaming then how is my body still in my world? Yeah, I was really confused at this point and doing this check list just made everything a lot worse.
"So, um, what's your name?" the girl sitting across from me said.
I kind of jumped when she spole. She had been so quiet the whole ride, and I had been so wrapped up in my own thoughts, that I had kind of forgotten that she was even there. I quickly grabbed the pen and paper that I had grabbed from the nurse's station as I was leaving the hospital and wrote on it hastily.
Alyssa Brown. Your's?
"I'm Ruka, and the boy that was with me before was my brother, Rua. Sorry about what he said to you at the hospital. Sometimes he acts before he thinks," Ruka said looking guilty.
I was amazed. Here I was, totally ignoring this girl who had offered me a place to stay, when she and her brother could have just left me on the streets, and she was feeling guilty about what her brother said. I wrote on the piece of paper:
It's okay. I'm the one that should be apologizing. I was ignoring you this whole time, when you were nice enough to offer me a place to stay. I'm really sorry about that. Also, thank you for letting me stay with you.
After she read the note, Ruka looked at me and smiled. "It's no problem. I'm actually kind of glad that you're staying with us. You see, our parents are away on business trips a lot, so it's just Rua and me at home. Rua thinks that not having our parents around is awesome, but I wish they were around more."
Wow, this girl must really think that I'm a good person or else she wouldn't have just told me that. Or would she? I certainly wouldn't have said anything like that to a person that I just met. I gently took the paper back from Ruka so that I could write my response.
I know how you feel. My parents are like that too. Also, this not being able to talk thing is really starting to become a big pain in the rear.
After she read this, Ruka gave a small giggle. "That must be really annoying. Having to write everything down on paper for people to read. I'm sure your voice will be back in no time."
I just smiled at her and nodded my head. I really hoped that my voice wouldn't take a whole month to come back to me.
"We're here," the cab driver said, looking into the review mirror at us, "Charge it, Ruka?"
"Yes, please and thank you," Ruka said before hoping out of the cab.
I, on the other hand, was having some difficulty getting out of the cab. Ruka and the cab driver, who's name I found out was Mr. Westmore, both offered to help me, but I was going to be as independent as I was without the crutches. After a few moments, I was finally able to get out of the cab.
'Not being able to talk isn't the only pain in the rear that I have to deal with,' I thought to myself as Ruka and I headed towards the elevator. 'The first thing that I'm going to do when I wake up from this coma is find the son of a bitch that ran me over and kick his butt all the way to the moon.'
"Well, here we are," Ruka said, opening the door to her house.
After I had taken a couple hops to get inside the door, my jaw hit the floor and I think my eyes went to the size of tennis balls. Her house was huge!
"Alyssa, are you okay?" Ruka asked while trying not to laugh. Apparently she noticed my reaction.
I just nodded my head. Even if I could have spoken, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have been able to right then because my whole vocabulary just flew out of my head.
"Are you just going to stand in the doorway, or are you coming in?" Ruka asked teasingly.
I nodded my head before hopping over to where Ruka was standing. My ankle was starting to throb, so I balanced myself on one crutch, while I wrote on a piece of paper that was lying on the desk near me.
Could you please tell where the kitchen is? I need to take some pain killers. My ankle's bugging me.
"Sure. Do you want me to get it for you?" Ruka asked.
I just shook my head no. I liked being independent, and it wasn't fair that she should have to get me stuff when she's already done so much for me.
"Okay," she said before turning and walking down a short hallway and turning left into the first room of the entrance way.
When I finally made it into the kitchen, Ruka had already gotten me a glass of water and had set it on the table.
Thanks, I wrote after I was seated at the table.
"No problem."
I tore the seal off of the pain killer bottle before shaking out two round tablets. I quickly downed them both with a swig of water.
"Hey, Ruka, you guys here!?" shouted a voice from the entrance way.
"Yes, Rua! We're in the kitchen!" Ruka shouted back at him, then turned towards me, "Just to warn you now, Rua is kind of hyper and loud."
I just smiled and nodded to show that I understood. My little sister was like that when she had eaten to much Halloween candy.
"You won't believe it, Ru—Whoa!" Rua said before he fell on his butt. Apparently he had been so excited about something he'd seen, that he had forgotten to take of his shoes, which were wet, and slipped when he came into the kitchen.
"Rua! Are you okay?" Ruka exclaimed.
"Ya, just my butt hurts now," Rua said laughing.
Ruka just rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Rua. You'd think that you would learn by now not to wear wet boots in the house."
"Well, you aren't Ms. Perfect either. At least I'm not afraid to duel!" Rua said back which caused the twins to have a spat.
'Wow, they fight like cats and dogs,' I thought to myself as I watched the twins continue to argue. It wasn't until Yusei and two people that I didn't know came into the room when the twins quite their arguing.
"Hey, what's with all the bickering?" asked an old man.
"Huh?" both twins said before turning towards the old man.
"Rua, who are those two?" Ruka asked while pointing at the old man and another guy the size of a bear with teal hair.
"That's Yanagi," Rua said pointing towards the old man and then pointed at the teal haired man, "and that's Tanner. They were with Yusei at the facility."
Ruka just nodded her head, but I was really confused. 'Facility? What facility?' I tried to remember if Sophie had said anything about a facility when she was telling me about the latest Yugioh 5Ds episode, but I couldn't remember. That, however, isn't that much of a surprise since I didn't really listen to her. Now I was kicking myself for not paying more attention.
"So, where's this mute that Rua told us about?" the one named Tanner asked.
My eyes narrowed at this while Ruka scolded Rua on telling random people about my inablility to speak at the moment. I wasn't able to speak but there was nothing wrong with my hearing what so ever. I wasn't invisible either. Who the heck did he think he was anyways? God, if I had my voice I would have chewed him out for that one, but I was to lazy and tired to write anything down, so I just took to glaring at him instead.
"She's right there, and judging by her expression, I don't think she liked you calling her a mute," Ruka said pointing at me.
His and Yanagi's head then swiveled towards me. I kept up my glare for a whole two minutes before I got really annoyed. They were looking at me like I was an alien or something. Getting fed up, and not being able to talk, I picked up the pen and threw it at the two of them. I hit Tanner right in between the eyes, which is surprising considering the fact that I can't aim.
"Ow! What the heck was that for!?" Tanner yelled. I just rolled my eyes before grabbing another pen and wrote on the pad of paper before giving it to him.
You were looking at me like I was an alien, and I was annoyed by it.
"I'm sorry for looking at you like that, but come on! You don't even look close to Japanese, and you're dressed in shorts and a t shirt when it's almost cold enough outside to snow."
I just gave him a quizzical look. Cold enough to snow? I didn't find it that cold, though I wasn't really paying much attention to what was going on around me. As to the fact that I didn't really look Japanese, he did have a point there. However, I wasn't about to tell them that I wasn't Japanese because that would raise a lot of questions that I didn't really want to answer.
"Wow, you're right," Rua said looking at me, "she's really pale. I wonder why?"
Seeing that he was actually asking me, I just shrugged my shoulders in response. Rua opened his mouth th ask another question, but Rua interupted him.
"We can go shopping for clothes for her tommorow. Right now, I think we should just not ask her anymore questions," Ruka said looking at Rua in a way that said don't bug her anymore.
At hearing the word shopping, Rua's nose kind of wrinkled up. "You guys can go shopping, but Yusei and I are going to see if we can see the Witch again."
"You saw the Witch!?" Ruka squeaked in amazement.
"Yup," Rua said looking proud, "and she even has a weird birthmark like you and Yusei do."
I just looked between everyone, totally confused. 'Maybe I'll get someone to explain everything later,' I thought to myself as I just half listened to Rua retell the story of how he, Yusei, Tanner and Yanagi saw the Witch.
So, I hoped you liked this chapter. In the next chapter, Yusei will actually be involved. I will update when I can. I am focusing on this story and What's Yet To Come, so I am trying to update those interchangeably. Well, bye till next time.
