Saga 2: The accident
~0~0~0~0~0~
The happenings last night caused sadness and grief between the twins and the chosen children….
Usually, when the twins passed each other, they would greet both a 'good morning' and smile however…these recent happenings aren't bound to happen this day…

9:10 am ~break time~
Takuya sat in the cafeteria alone in a table in the corner, it is where their group has been sitting during lunch…he's hopeful that anyone would show up…but so far…they're aren't turning up at the moment…or at least it was…
Izumi: may I sit?
Takuya: the least you showed up…what about Junpei and Tomoki?
Izumi: [sigh] Tomoki's out doing his project in the art room while Junpei's got to do some extra work….
Takuya: I see….
Izumi: what about the twins?
Takuya: kouji doesn't have the mood to join…kouichi's been studying…
Izumi: those two's excuse isn't good…it can't convince me….
Takuya: you're telling me…they're just making up excuse to not see each other….
Izumi: you're right….I just wish that their fight won't last long than we can imagine…
Takuya: let's do hope so…

Classes has been dismissed about an hour ago…kouji had decided to wonder around the city to forget things which keeps bothering him….but every time he passes a store, memories flutter around his head like a bee that keeps rounding you….
Kouji had found a bench and decided to sit for awhile…
Kouji: *yawn* [takes out cellphone] …
~flashback~
Takuya: as your friend….we're just here by your side….if you're ready to talk about what happened awhile ago, just ring me in my cellphone or anyone you wished to talk to….it would be nice if you'll say the problems Instead of keeping it to yourself…we'll be going…just remember us when you need to tell or talk to someone about any of your problems….we're always open for you…bye…
~end of flashback~
Kouji: [smirks] like he cares….but it's worth a try….
He flipped his cellphone open and dialed Takuya's number…..

Takuya: (my cell's ringing)
[Answers phone]
Takuya: Taki speaking….
Kouji: Taki?
Takuya: I-I mean Takuya speaking!
Kouji: oh….i thought it's someone else…
Takuya: why did you called?
Kouji: I was just thinking about last night….
Takuya: so you're ready to talk about last night?
Kouji: well kind of…
Takuya: that's great!
Kouji: like you care about what happened…..
Takuya: c'mon kouji, don't be like that….that's what are friends are for right?
Kouji: yeah….right…
Takuya: so-
Teacher: KANBARA! You're in the middle of detention, put down your phone this instant!
Kouji: detention? What did you do?
Takuya: don't worry about me….I'll just call you back, 'kay?
Kouji: sure….
And they both hung up….kouji closed his phone and came to notice something that fell on his cheek…
Kouji: snow at this early time?
~Flashback~
Kouji: Merry Christmas, oniisan!
Kouichi: Merry Christmas too, Kouji!
~End of flashback~
Kouji: [smirks] why did I say those things? Now I know that Christmas would be lonely without him….
He stood up and walked down the streets while gazing at the colorful lights of every store he would came to pass until there's something that made him stop…
Kouji: cookie house?
~flashback~
Kouichi: wow! A cookie house!
Kouji: why are you so happy about it?
Kouichi: well….when I was in kindergarten, I love reading books about fairytales and everything that includes fantasy…I read a book about 2 children who lost their way in the forest and found a cookie house which was life size! Since that day, I wished to have something like that…though...it's too expensive for me or for mom to buy it…it's just an imagination for someone like me to have it…
Kouji: I see….
~end of flashback~
Kouji stepped inside the pastry shop where the cookie house was displayed.

5:30 pm ~kimura residence, kouichi's room~
Kouichi was staring outside by his window…his eyes were puff and he didn't even stopped crying. He's very depressed that even his mother, Tomoko, is getting worried…with much of her concerns, she went up to her son's front door room and knocked softly.
Tomoko: kouichi, may I come in?
She couldn't tell what was her son doing inside but a faint "yes" came from the room and silently opened the door to see his son, sitting by the window…
Tomoko: are you alright, honey? You're so pale…have you been drinking your vitamins?
As she approach kouichi and sat down beside him, touching his forehead….
Kouichi: no mom…I'm fine….it's just the weather…it's really cold…
His voice was a bit hoarse, it is as if he is having a cough or anything…Tomoko caught a glimpse of her son's puffy eyes, it bothered her deeply. Why is her son crying?
Tomoko: is there anything you wish to tell me?
Tomoko's words concerned kouichi…he is really sure that his mother is very worried and he doesn't want that to happen…
Kouichi: it's nothing mom, promise! I'm just so cold that it affected my body….nothing to worry about me, really!
Tomoko: is that it? Well... [Goes out] if you want to tell me something I'm just here, ready to listen…
Kouichi: thanks a lot mom!
Tomoko: before I forget, here [hands out a paper envelope] Take this…use it!
Kouichi:[gets envelope] what is this?
Tomoko: use it to buy something for kouji…
Kouichi: but mom! This money is all what you gained for the whole extra shift you've been having! I can't have this!
Tomoko shook her head and smiled
Tomoko: just take it, I really don't need it…use it to buy something for kouji, understood?
Kouichi was hesitant, how can he tell to his mother that they had a big fight. How can he tell her that it is all the cause of his crying status…?
Tomoko: I'm expecting you to go out and look…okay? Your stamina and vitamins might disappear if you don't get any exercises and fresh air…
Kouichi: but mom…
Tomoko: I don't want you to disobey me…okay?
Kouichi has no choice but to agree, Tomoko went out the room and closed the door for kouichi…
Kouichi: I am so sorry mom…
Again, tears fell down from his eyes…when will he stop crying?

~streets of Shibuya, In front of a pastry shop~
Shop owner: thank you for buying our product, please come again next time!
As kouji step out of the store, carrying a medium sized box with green wrapper and a big red ribbon with 2 golden bells attached…it's a mystery…what could the big box contain? And to whom will kouji give it?
Suddenly, His cellphone rung and carefully pulled out the gadget as he struggle to hold the box in one hand. He answered the call….
Kouji: Minamoto kouji speaking, who is this?
Takuya: hey, buddy! Where are you?
Kouji: in front of the SORA WA PASTRY shop…why?
Takuya: I'll meet you there in an hour or so, can you wait for me there and we can talk about it…
Kouji: o-ok…sure, I'll wait for you…
And he hung up the phone…kouji stayed in front of the pastry shop but he was immediately interrupted by some people who are panicking and running about…it came to him that there were police men and a burglar-like man coming towards him. He was about to run when the burglar-like man grabbed him by the arm that caused him to drop the box…
Kouji: let go of me, you nasty criminal!
Police#1: let go of the boy, please!
Criminal: no! You took away my privilege to celebrate my holidays with my family! I am only just doing this because I want my children to be happy even this once!
Police#1: but sir, it's against the laws…and you should have known that! The boy also has a family to celebrate with, please don't take it away from him as a consideration! He is perfectly innocent and has nothing to do with your case!
Criminal: do you think I'll let him be happy while I suffer? No! I'm not a fool to believe!
There's no other choice but to surrender…
The police men lower their guns so no one can get hurt…
Police#2: okay…we will put your case down…just let the boy go and we will assure you that you will be able to celebrate the holidays with your family!
Criminal: really?
Police#1: yes…just let go!
The criminal was loosening his grip when he spotted a gun lying around; he immediately grabbed it and pointed it to the police men! The police men, in return held their guns up again…
Criminal: click that gun and the boy will be done! [Brings up gun to kouji's waist]
Police#2: we had an agreement! Let the boy go!
Criminal: no! He'll suffer like me!
As the criminal clicked the gun that caused kouji's waist to bleed eventually…the criminal had let go and ran…
Police#1: go after him! The rest; call the ambulance! The boy needs severe treatment!
For kouji, everything went black as the figures slowly fade in his vision...many things zoomed in his head…
What will happen to me? Will I going to be dead or will I live? Is kouichi going to be worried about me? Maybe, probably not…I hurt his feelings and it's all my fault what had become of us…maybe I should have better die rather than suffer in sadness…and maybe that way, kouichi would be happy with me gone vanishing in his life… forever…
And the world for him went black…
(A/N: saga 2 has been pretty long right? It was really hard for me to write this part in my notebook then same as in typing and I can't stop my hands from trembling so hard…I'm not a big spoiler, so just tune in to the next saga…I want to keep you in suspense! I'm silly right? He…he…he…anyways…if you would notice, I'm not good at criminal-to-police conversation…I'm not in to that kind of conversations badly but I did my best to make it realistic…just wait for the new saga…you'll be surprised to see some familiar characters I'm sure you'll like! See ya!)
