Chapter 6
POV: 1st person Lily
"Yuki wake up", I say poking my friend awake.
"What", Yuki says sleepily.
" We'll be landing in a few minutes", I say.
Yuki nods slowly at me and attempts to stretch in her seat. I try not to laugh when Yuki says,
"Oh wait I forgot we're on your private jet."
I shrug, before saying,
" How could you forget, you said you would never forget riding on a private jet".
Yuki merely sticks her tongue out at me in reply. I looked out the window, hoping I could convince the three other archers of the light of their true identity.
It had taken awhile to convince Yuki she was the archer of of healing. I finally convinced her when her little brother fell off his bike and scraped his knee pretty badly. I taught her one of the simpler healing spells, which healed Po instantly. This was one of those rare days Yuki's parents were with us. After they saw Yuki use one of her powers, it was easy to convince them that their daughter could take care of herself. I had convinced them of my powers when I showed them my wings. After that it took awhile to explain to them that Yuki was one of the four archers of light and that it was my job as the Chosen One to unite all four archers to prevent the apocalypse. So after two weeks of basic training; I figured Yuki and I could travel to Sleepy Hollow to find the three other archers before the horsemen find them.
POV: 1st person Yuki
I'm nervous. That's all I can say, being on this plane has made me realize, I've started on a journey that I can't go back on, to do so could cause the apocalypse. I may be exaggerating, but I must because it keeps me from being selfish, something my parents have told me, I need to work on. I remember as a little girl, I only cared about myself. That all changed when my brother Po was born. It was very rare the doctors said, it was a miracle he was still alive. Po was born missing both his kidneys. The doctors told me he could die at any minute, unless I gave him one of my kidneys. I was the only in the family who could donate their kidney.
I remember waking up in a hospital room after the surgery. I asked the nurse when she finally came into my room where my parents were, the nurse told me they were with my brother Po. I understood that they would want to be with my little brother. I patiently waited to see one of them, thinking they would take turns staying by my brother's side. It was nice being by myself.
It was very quiet and relaxing so to pass the time I asked one of the nurses if I could have some sheets of paper and colored pencils. Once I had these items I carefully colored each of the sheets of paper. After I had finished with that, I asked the nurse when she came in again, for scissors and string. When she came back, I carefully cut the papers into various sizes. The ball of string she gave me, I cut into varying lengths. Once I was finished with that, I folded a long piece of paper and made holes all around the paper. I unfolded the piece of paper and picked up one of the strings, I carefully tied the first hole to the last hole. Around the now made circle I carefully wrote Po around it. My parents had decided on his name as soon as they found out he was a boy. After I wrote Po's name a sufficient number of times, I folded the remaining papers into origami cranes. I attached each crane to the circle with string. Right after I had finished making the mobile for Po, I heard a knock at the door.
It was Oji Ken my uncle at the doorway. I looked at the clock and saw it had been four hours since I had woken up.
" How come my parents haven't visited me yet", I asked my uncle.
" Yuki you know they're with Po", Oji Ken said.
" Yes but I though they would take turns spending time with the both of us", I said innocently.
" I feel well now and maybe I could go see them and Po," I continued happily.
" And when we go home we can hang up this mobile I made over Po's crib".
Oji Ken sighed and looked angrily at me.
" Why would your parents waste their time with you when they finally have the son they want," he snapped at me.
I was shocked at what he said, to me it was ancient thinking that we wouldn't be treated or loved equally.
" Oji Ken why would you say that," I asked
"Because it's true, why should your parents continue to bother with trying to make up for what they did to you now that they have the son they finally want."
" What did they do", I asked unable to hold back my tears any longer.
" They left you at some stranger's doorstep, when they could take care of you they just didn't want you", Oji Ken said glaring at me.
I shook my head in disbelief, tears falling hard down my face.
"I'm gonna have to ask you to leave", a man said walking into the room. He wore a doctor's uniform, but was covered in many tattoos.
" Are you a doctor you don't look like one", Oji Ken challenged him.
"Yes I am and I will have to ask you to leave or call security, you are upsetting the patient", the man said sternly.
Oji Ken stormed out of the room. The doctor walked over towards me and sat at the side of my bed.
" Are you alright", he asked with a kind look in his eyes.
I merely nodded and mumbled a thanks when he handed me a box of kleenex.
" I don't understand, I thought Oji Ken loved me and now he's saying all these mean things", I sobbed.
" I don't understand either how someone could say stuff like that to a child", the doctor said.
" I hope he gets really bad hiccups", I remember saying.
" I can give him more than that", the man said.
I laughed and said, " Then he'll be even more mean".
The man smiled at me and told me he was Doctor. Awa. Bubbles in English which caused his friends to make fun of him he told me. He asked me how I felt, I told him I felt fine but I was still sad because of what Oji Ken said. Just then Oji Ken came in with two security guards and another man.
" This man is harassing me and bothering my niece".
" Is this true" the man who later I had found out was the chairman of the hospital asked me.
" No", I said.
" Mr. Kaicho this man I asked to leave because he was making his niece cry", Doctor Awa said.
" This is not your floor Cobra, I will only give you a warning", Kaicho told him.
" Now both of you will make peace and act like the adults you are", he continued.
I watched intently as Dr. Awa took my cup of water. Was he gonna drink it or throw it at Oji Ken, I wondered. He did neither, I watched with curiosity as Dr. Awa muttered some words under his breath, the water in the cup bubbling and turning black.
" Here accept this cup of coffee as a peace offering", Dr. Awa said as he handed it to Oji Ken.
Oji Ken said nothing as he drank the cup of coffee. He left along with Mr. Kaicho and the two security guards.
" I'm sorry but I have to get back to work, it was nice meeting you", Dr. Awa said before leaving the room.
I waved goodbye. I was jolted out of my memories when I felt Lily's plane land. Little did I know I would soon see Dr. Awa again.
