Kouichi's Dream and Kousei's Decision
"Hey Kouichi what'cha doing over there." A group of nine-years-olds started surrounding the blue-haired boy, who was on the swing set.
"Oh… I'm sorry guys. I guess I lost track of time!" The little boy smiled before jumping off the swing.
"Kouichi you have a bad habit of staring off in space at inconvenient times. You know that?" A boy with snow-white hair and pink eyes said.
"I know that Yuki-kun!" The blue-haired boy ran ahead of his friends.
The boy started blushing madly and ran after the boy. "Kouichi you know that only my sister is allowed to call me that! You know very well that my name is Huyu!"
"Come on Huyu! We're going to be late for class!" A boy with red eyes and crimson red hair that was tied into a spiky ponytail yelled.
"Hideharu you know that those two are like brothers. If it weren't for the fact that they were born from different mothers, they could be siblings." A boy with dirty blond hair and teal eyes stared over at the two boys who were running in circles.
"Iwao it amazes me how calm you are around them." Hideharu said with a grin on his face.
"Well… I wouldn't blame Kouichi for wanting to be an air-head sometimes." Iwao said in a sad voice.
"What do you mean?" Hideharu gave a confused look toward his companion.
"Kouichi's had a hard life so far, just like us. Until we met him in the park, he would have been alone, and we would have been alone too. If it weren't for him we probably wouldn't be here." Iwao started shaking at the thought.
"Let's not think of that." Hideharu whispered in a dark tone.
"Hey guys are you coming? The two of us are going to head to karate class without you if you don't hurry up!" Both Kouichi and Huyu yelled from down the street, both looking bruised up.
Iwao started walking down the street when Hideharu started talking. "Hey Iwao, do you think that we really would be…"
"I thought you were the one who said that we shouldn't think about that day." Iwao smirked at the crimson-haired boy.
"Yeah." Hideharu nodded before running with Iwao to their friends.
"Hey wait up!" Iwao and Hideharu shouted at their friends who started running ahead of them.
'I hope we never forget each other.' Each of the boys thought as they ran to karate class.
Kouichi and three other boys shot out of bed screaming, only to have six doctors, three nurses, seven parents, and two kids enter the room. As the doctors opened the curtains around each bed, the boys were shocked to see who their roommates were. All four boys stared at each, and all of them except Kouichi began crying. Only 1 parent, the doctors, nurses, and 2 kids weren't shocked by what they were seeing.
"You idiot where have you been!" The white haired boy; who's bed was across from Kouichi's jumped out of bed and punched Kouichi in the face.
"I haven't seen or spoken to you in months! We all thought you were dead! Do you know how much you hurt us? You… you… onii-san." The boy started crying even more, while Kouichi just looked down at his bed.
"He's telling the truth Kouichi. We thought you vanished off the face of the Earth and… and… onii-san you are so stupid." A crimson-haired boy tried getting out of bed, but fell to the floor and started crying heavily like his friend.
Kouichi seemed unaffected by any of their statements and mumbled "Yuki-kun, Haru-kun,…"
"Kouichi!" The dirty blond got out of bed, and wobbled over to Kouichi's bed. "I never thought you were an emotionless jerk, but now I'm not so sure. You-you, can't be forgiven for what you did to me, what you did to us. You broke the promise we made when we met." The boy pushed the white-haired kid off of Kouichi and gripped Kouichi's black T-shirt.
"You said that-that we wouldn't keep secrets, that we would always support each other, that we would-would never let people's deaths get in the way of our friendship, and that we would make sure that WE WOULDN'T DIE IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN!" The dirty blond started shaking Kouichi violently.
"Iwao-kun…" Kouichi mumbled under his breath.
"What's going on?" Kari started trembling terribly next to J.P. "Who are they?"
"I don't know. But they seem to know Kouichi." J.P. whispered back.
"Alright all of you get back in bed! The four of you have been unconscious for a week. You need your rest!" A tall, dark brown-haired man wearing a coat that had the name Dr. Hikaru Minamoto M.D. shouted at the boys.
"And Kouichi…" The doctor continued. "I think that you should…"
"Yes uncle Hikaru." Kouichi interrupted with an emotionless tone.
"Excuse me kids but I need to ask you something." Doctor Minamoto walked up to Kari and J.P.
"Um sure." The two responded and followed the doctor down the hallway to a sun room.
"Come sit down." The doctor motioned them toward a bench. "So…"
"So… why do you want us here doc?" J.P. asked the doctor who was looking out the window.
"How much do you know about Kouichi?" The doctor looked at the two kids who were slightly confused about the question.
"Well I know some, but I doubt Kari here knows anything." J.P. said a little rudely.
"Well actually J.P. he goes to my school and is in my class." Kari said shly and innocently.
"What!?" J.P. was surprised by Kari's reply.
"Well… that's interesting. Now how do you know him…" The doctor looked over to J.P.
"J.P. My name's J.P. And I just met him in the arcade of the subway station one day." J.P. looked confidently at the doctor.
"Okay… if you're going to lie to be I suggest you do a better job of it." The doctor smirked at J.P.
"Well… Hikaru I wouldn't blame him for wanting to keep it a secret." Another man who had short brown hair and wore glasses came in.
"Why Kousei I didn't expect you to follow me. You really are a great big brother." Hikaru smiled with a wide grin.
"You just had to become both an M.D. and a psychiatrist didn't you?" Kousei sighed and looked over to the two kids.
"If you want to see Kouichi, then you can go back to his room now." Kousei said in a cold voice.
"Um sure. Let's go Kari." Kari nodded and followed J.P. out of the room and down the hallway.
"So Kousei did you make your decision yet?" Hikaru asked, when he was sure no one else was around.
"Yeah Hikaru I already called my lawyer, and he said that he'll get the papers ready by tomorrow morning." Kousei stared at his brother with a serious expression on his face.
"You know that both Tomoko and Kouichi will be mad." Hikaru returned the look to his brother.
"Yeah but I don't think there's a choice anymore. Tomoko has neither contacted the hospital nor even tried to come here once over the past week. And I heard the Child Services was going to get on her case soon anyway." Kousei walked over to where his brother was and sat down in an armchair.
"Well I think that it's the best choice a father could make right now. Well… I guess we'll have to break the news to him tomorrow huh?" Hikaru started walking toward the door.
"I guess so little brother. I guess so." Kousei said before falling asleep the armchair.
Hikaru smiled at his brother and left the room thinking. 'Kousei is going to have his hands full with those two.'
Meanwhile, Kari and J.P. were on their way to Kouichi's room when the heard yelling. Someone, no a few people were yelling at another person. When they entered the room they saw the four boys in arm restraints and the three mysterious boys were all yelling their heads off. Both J.P. and Kari looked confused and stared at the sight for ten minutes before Kouichi spoke up.
"J.P., Kari both of you should just go." Kouichi said in an angry voice, still in the same position as when they left.
"Why should we! We came all this way just to visit you, and now you want us to leave!" J.P. said fuming. Not wanting to be told off by his friend.
"Yeah let them go just like you did to us!" The dirty blonde yelled from the bed closest to the window.
"Yeah!" The other two yelled with the same amount of fury.
"Hey who are you guys anyway?" J.P. yelled, and was annoyed by the mysterious roommates.
"Hmph…" The dirty blonde started. "Well J.P. my name is Iwao Fusao Goto."
The crimson-haired boy was next. "My name is HideharuKazuki Sakamoto."
"And my name is Huyu Ryu Yamada" The albino boy finished off the introductions.
"And you both know who he is." Iwao glared at Kouichi. "Kouichi Kei Kimura, but after what I've been hearing I think it's really Kouichi Minamoto."
"Why are you guys being so rude? Why can't you just…" Kari started crying and was interrupted by Kouichi.
"Kari, J.P. you shouldn't get involved. It's my problem. I don't need you guys trying to fix something you don't know about." Kouichi said with sadness.
"What do you mean?" Kari and J.P. asked, were immediately shooed out of the room by a nurse before they could get an answer.
After Kari and J.P. were shooed out, Kouichi immediately asked the nurse to close the door. After making sure no one would come in, Kouichi laid down and started crying. All of his friends watched as the boy was whimpering apologies toward them. All three of them were silent, the only noise coming from the sudden rain and Kouichi's constant cries of forgiveness.
