Chapter two:
Hospitalized
Kanon opened his eyes slowly. Leaning over him was a man with shoulder length red/brown hair and glasses on his nose.
"I-Irie....s-sen...sei..." Kanon croaked. It was hard for him to talk, and it hurt. The man looked worried, but slightly relieved.
"How do you feel?" Irie asked, and Kanon only whispered;
"Numb..."
Sudden realisation ran through him.
"W-where's Kagu?! H-he collapsed, a-and he was b-bleeding! I-is h-he....alright?!" Kanon begged, and he could see slight tears in the doctor's eyes.
"I-Irie....sensei?" Kanon asked.
"K....Kagu-kun is...dead.."
It was like being dipped in ice.
"D-Dead? N-No...he isn't.. he's going..he's going to be..alright...I'll see him...I'll see him later... it..it will be fine!" Kanon said, and he mustered up a small smile. Tears rolled down his face, and he had no idea what to do. The nurse, Takano, looked at him with pure sympathy.
They shot him sad smiles, before drawing the blinds around the bed.
"I want you to find him the best orphanage you can..." Kanon heard her say. The emotions in her voice could only be that of personal experience....
Kanon began to form a shell around his heart and soul. He...was alone... Kagu...was dead... He was furniture. He was not allowed hopes, or dreams. He would just serve his purpose and die. That's all he wanted to do.
He was sent to the Fukium house, and was given a new 'family', and a new name. Kanon. Yes.... he was Kanon now... He shut his old heart behind, and created a new version of himself.
He was furniture now, nothing more then furniture. He would try his hardest not to get close to anyone, as to protect himself. He knew how fragile his mind was..
...and how easy it would be to break it. However....
"Hi! What are you doing here, all by yourself?"
"....Who are you?"
"I'm Shannon!"
I know it isn't much . I also put in the kinder side of Takano, and those who have seen Higurashi will know why she wants him sent to a really good orphanage...
please review!
