Hello my readers.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews so far.
Okey so just a heads up. This chapter is a bit...sad. But it's not the end.
Next up
Chapter 9
Chapter 9
Breathing in and out Hikari laid on the muddy grass. She still has not fully recovered from the previous incident but she has made it through the water and onto some dry land.
"Miss?" Hikari opened her eyes to look at the woman now standing over her. "Miss? Are you okey?"
"Yes, thank you, just glad to be alive"
The woman nodded in agreement. "We are one of the lucky ones, aren't we?" Hikari sat up right looking at the water waist land in front of her and then to the still unconscious Jason next to her. "Yes we are"
The woman shook her head and spoke again. "I'm sorry to do this but we need to take a roll call of whom is still alive so we can get temporary Identification Documents printed for the people and know how many supplies we need to start gathering. Hikari nodded. The woman looked to the boy still lying on the grass. "We also need to know how many children are orphaned so we can start putting them into the system" Hikari remembered the words spoken to her and stood up and spoke with fire in her voice.
"This is my son, how dare you try to take him away from me!" The said woman paled. " I'm sorry mam…I did not know" Hikari nodded
" It's okay, I think today is just stressful for all of us. Could you please direct me to the nearest First Aid facility?" " Yes mam," Hikari picked Jason up again and followed the said woman. ' I need to be strong for Jason, he is my family now. Kei…. I'm sorry'
It was pouring and Kei was drenched when he stepped into the house but nobody was there to take his coat and briefcase as usual. Then he noticed that the house was quite, to quite for his liking. The only sound in the house came from his study.
"what's going on here?" He asked walking into his study, coat and briefcase in hand and anger evident in his voice. Every servant, plus his mother, father, brother and grandfather looked at him with pain staked eyes. "what?... what's going on?" and it's then he saw the images on the television filled with destruction and water and the words on the bottom read ' Disaster hits Phuket' Kei felt his whole body went cold.
"we already tried to contact the hospital, but there is no answer" His grandfather was the first to speak. Kei only looked at the screen of images flashing in front of him.
" Get the jet ready!" Kei shouted , walking out of the study.
"Kei it can't be done"
"Why not!?" Kei shouted at his father, did he not understand. Hikari was supposed to come home, she was supposed to be here with him.
" The area has been cut off Kei, the only air transport that are allowed is that of the government and medical staff." His mother interrupted. Kei looked at the audience around him, he knew they knew how he felt but he could not take it. The fought that she may not have survived, no, no it cannot be. He turned around and ran out of the house shouting his beloved's name, letting the clouds cry for him, the thunder shout for him and the wind carry him as far as he can go.
The news soon reached the other members and Hikari's family. The next day at school a grieve ceremony was held in Hikari's honor and the SA members where never the same again. They all graduated but none attended the graduation ceremony. They all came together at Yahiro's villa and spend the summer holiday in grieve, memories and a few celebrations of engagements that took place but one sad sombre day the SA Members and their partners attended the funerals of Mr and Mrs Hanazono. A horrific car accident left them both dead on impact. They were on their way to the airport to go and pick up Hikari when a drunken fool crashed into them, killing all of them.
Atsushi stand and watched at his parent's grave. He is all alone now, no parents, no family… he is all alone.
"Atsushi?" he looked around seeing the S.A Members standing there. Kei walked towards him and gave his shoulder a squeeze. " I know that you are feeling hopeless and alone" he nod knowing that they all were in the same grieving state. " I don't know what I'm going to do Kei. The house is going to be demolished if I can't pay of the debt, I have no job…" the young man started to cry. Kei looked hopelessly at the rest of the team. "Why don't you come into my office tomorrow and I will look at what your qualifications are?" Kei said looking at Atsushi with a weary smile.

Hikari and a now awake Jason stood in the line of the temporary identification/ job application tent. Jason was silent and crying holding Hikari's hand very tightly. Hikari looked at her soon to be son, thinking at their conversation a few days previous in the first aid tent.
*Flash Back*
'Jason? How are you feeling?'
The boy looked with frightened eyes around him.
'Where is mom? Where is dad?'
Hikari felt her heart break and her throat suddenly went dry. 'Jason…. I…' Hikari could not look the boy in the eyes but Jason soon led on.
' No… No… Hikari? Please tell me it's not true.' Hikari started to cry 'I'm sorry Jason, I'm so sorry." The boy in front of her started to scream and cry calling for his parents. He needed to calm down a bit, she needed him to listen. So she grabbed his shoulders
'Jason please listen… please Jason' she also could not hold back the tears
'Please Jason!?' She begged him and he calmed down just a bit. She looked Jason straight into his eyes 'Jason I promised your father that I will look after you. I promised him that I will take care of you'
The boy , still crying, nodded his head ' Jason, I know you will not see me as your mother, but I will love and care for you as my own son. I promise you that but you have to promise me that we will get through this together okey?' She looked at him with hopeful eyes.
'Promise me that we will work hard to be a family?' Jason nodded and started to cry as Hikari gave him a hug feeling a motherly and protective instinct kick in.
*End Flash Back*
Hikari hold Jason's hand tighter. 'This is it Hikari. You have a son now, you have to keep on living for him, for Kei, for everyone you love. You will become stronger' and with that thought Hikari and Jason started their new lives together.
Okey this is so sad. I know.
Please do not kill me.
Like I said. This is not the end.
I promise the next chapter will be better.
So question time.
How will Hikari and Jason's life turn out.
R&R pretty please.
As always
Love ya all.
