Okay, my laptop was being a bitch. Internet didn't work for three hours, and I had to submit this. I just HAD to. Why? It's 12-12-12! Heheh.. I love that date. Back to the chapter: You remember chapter seven, where Kyara wanted to send Judai to a institution.. well, you can guess what happened. It's not much talking, more about information about the characters. (Which wont play a main role, so don't get to attached to them! XD)
Have fun reading!
New york, 7 October 1997
So there he was, sitting in a 'bedroom'. At least, they called it a bedroom. It was a simple room with white painted walls, a small white bed, a desk and a chair. That was all. A small window was just above the desk, and the sun shone through the bars.
Judai had been here for more then a week, and it didn't help him at all. Of course it wouldn't. How would a institution, where people thought he was crazy, help Judai to get the voice out of his head? It was impossible.
Anyways. The people around here where stupid, but nice. They listened to Judai although they knew he wasn't good in his head. At least, that's what their bosses had told them. Sadly, they believed it, because Judai wouldn't have been the first one who saw and heard things which weren't there. For example, there was a little blue haired boy called Sho Marufuji, which had been talking to his dead brother Ryo Marufuji ever since he died. He talked hours to his brother and believed Ryo really was standing there, talking back to him. Judai felt sorry for him. It would've been hard for him to loose his brother, just how Judai had lost his family.
But besides the little Sho, there where more persons who said they could talk to their death relatives or friends, or just see spirits they didn't know. Another example would be Asuka Tenjoin. Asuka saw, according to her story's she had told Judai, two spirits. One of them was her dead brother Fubuki Tenjoin, which died in a car accident just like Judai's adoptive father Christian, and the other was a girl she never met before. Though, she knew the girl's name was Rei Saotome, and used to live in the house Asuka lived before she got brought to the institution. Rei was horribly murdered by her boyfriend Marcel, which Asuka didn't knew the second name of.
After Judai had heard the story's of Sho and Asuka, he began doubting if the spirits they saw would be the same as Jehu. But according to both of them, they where relatives, except for Rei. And when Asuka had told him about Rei being murdered, she hadn't told anything about Rei bothering her.
Putting all the story's together, it seemed that almost everyone in this institution saw spirits, just like him. Sho Marufuji saw his dead brother, Asuka Tenjoin saw her brother and a little girl, another boy from the institution, Daichi Misawa, said he heard voices in the back of his head, and so on.
Though, after everything he had heard, he found the story of Hayato Maedo the most interesting. The boy didn't look handsome or smart, more like a lazy over-weight person, but he had a good heart. Hayato had been bullied on school for almost his whole life after he told his so called 'friends' he heard animals talking to him. Not just normal animals, but koala's. That's what caught Judai's attention. There where many story's about people seeing spirits of humans, but never koala's.
Anyways, after Hayato had told people about his 'gift' to hear koala's talking to him, they began throwing things at him, give him mean nick-names, and so on. At first, it wasn't that bad, until they started hitting him. Hayato kept up with it for a few years until he was sick of it and did things a person would never be proud of. Don't get me wrong, he had never did anything to someone else.. but he did it to himself. After his father, Kumazo Maedo, found out what he did, he immediately began worrying about his son, kept asking questions, and then send him to an institution, in hope to help him to get rid of his bad thoughts about self-harm.
Judai had talked to Hayato for what it seemed hours that day, and Judai didn't mind at all. Other days Judai had been talking too, but to people who weren't as talkative as others where. For example, there was Jun Manjoume. He lived together with his two brothers Chosaku and Shoji Manjoume, but when things didn't go right, they send him away. Jun didn't talk much, that was already known by everyone. Some of them got a few sentences out of him, but that was it. They knew his name, and the names of his brothers. Judai though, knew more. He asked the people who worked around there what was wrong with Jun, and they told him more then he actually wanted to know. Now he was thinking about it, wasn't it their jobs to not tell 'patients' about other patients?
Anyways, Jun's brothers Chosaku and Shoji where two businessmen who worked twenty-four seven. They left by telling Jun how 'unbelievable stupid' he was, and made sure it hit him in the heart. After it went on for a few years, Jun got a depression and eventually it developed into self-harm. Though, when the brothers Chosaku and Shoji found out, they felt horrible for what they did to their little brother, and made an end of the pain they caused Jun.
The woman Judai was talking to back then didn't want to say more. Judai already thought what they did, but didn't bother to much about it. What he knew is that Jun wasn't happy with his life, and hes not even trying to get back to his normal life, and social contact. Jun had been in this institution for at least two years, and in these two years he had only said 'I'm Jun'.
As far as Judai could remember, these where the people he had met here. There where lots more, but they where too 'dangerous' to talk to. Apparently, these people didn't only saw and heard spirits, but they actually did what the spirits wanted them to do. Horrible things like killing and stealing, and the worse part was yet to come; they couldn't do anything about it. Judai had been told to come to the mirror a few times by Jehu, and on that moment he lost control of his body, so he knew how these people would've felt when they where forced to kill and steal. It's just horrible.
Something else then the 'patients' in this institution, was that nobody really understood the problems everyone had. They indeed listened to everyone, but they never believed their story's. They didn't believe that their patients really saw and heard spirits, they thought they had some kind of sickness, or just where crazy, like they said Judai was.
The clock struck twelve, Judai looked up from his bed. After thinking about everything that happened these days, he had forgotten about the time. Jehu would show up in a minute, just like he always did. And if Jehu could read Judai's thoughts, what he probably really could, the voice spoke.
"Ah Judai, have you been waiting for me?"
"No, leave."
Judai was lucky that there where no mirrors inside the room, ore else he would've, besides the voice, also seen Jehu's body, and he really wasn't in the mood to stare to that smirk until he finally left. Which could take hours, really.
"But Judai, why would you want me to leave?" Judai knew Jehu was pouting, although he couldn't see it.
"How many times do I have to say I don't want to hear you?"
"Like a million, but I know you don't mean it."
Judai groaned. "Let's take the million, and multiply it with seventeen." Seventeen million times. He had to say it more then seventeen million times, and Jehu never stopped. Will he ever stop? Probably not.
It's longer then it was supposed to be, but that's not something bad. Also, you might see this as out-of-character, but to be honest; how would you react if your brothers made you feel depressed, which lead to self-harm, and put you in a institution? You would not be your normal self and be a arogant bitch. He honest. Sure, theyre not real people, but I give them the emotions of REAL persons. So if someone complains about any character being out of character, read this again and you'll understand. Otherwise; Why would you still be reading?
Also; ALL THE NAMES ARE IN JAPANESE! If you dont know the English names, go on google, search for Yu-gi-oh GX characters, and then you'll find a page where the english and Japanese names are.
Alsoalso: I LOVE REVIEWS! I seriously love them. *hint-hint* :D
