I wake up in the morning and its really quiet. I mean I can hear a dust mote fall, literally. So I wander around the house and wait for everyone to wake up. But when they do, I wish they were still asleep. Why? It's too loud. Can't hear myself think. I am not thinking of anything important,
but still. I sit on a chair in the bar in the pub part of the house. That's when everyone remembers I woke up yesterday. All of a sudden I am being ambushed by too many questions at the same time and I can't even process one. Except when I hear Kai ask "Are you Hungry Saya?"
I say "A little bit" Then my stomach growls, I blush and look down. Everyone starts laughing and I blush deeper. Then Kai starts cooking breakfast for everyone but Hagi, since he doesnt eat.
We all eat and Hagi says "I am going to take Saya on a walk. If that's OK with you Saya?" I just nod and he takes my hand. Like we are a couple or something.
"Am I with him? Did we ever go on a date? Why is he holding my hand like this? I am confused." I think while we walk out of Omoro, and onto the sidewalk. I look around and it all seems so familiar.
So I ask "Were we ever here in the past?"
He answers "Yes, you lived here for a year, then your father George died, and thats when Red Sheild took you, and we killed Diva, but you wanted to die with her, but Kai and I talked you out of it" and he glances at our hands and I start to remember my last moments before Hagi and Amshel fought and how we kissed and I found out that he is in love with me. So I squeeze his hand and he smiles.
We walk for hours and I remember that he really didnt smile much "Hagi? What makes you want to smile so much now?"
He just looks stunned that I would ask that "It should be obvious Saya. Your awake, and you don't have to throw yourself in harms way anymore. That would make anyone happy if they knew you."
I just say "Oh, OK. That is a good reason to be happy." I smile and he pulls me in for a giant bearhug and I can't breathe.
"Hagi, no air" I whisper and he lets me go and I try to catch my breath and he looks guilty.
"Saya, we should be getting back, its getting dark out." I look up and its dusk, the perfect time of day in my opinion, not to dark, not to light.
"OK, how far are we?" I look at hagi and he is just watching me and smiling. "OK, now what?"
"Nothing, just happy your awake." He starts walking, leaving me only to run to catch up to him, he takes my hand and we start to head home.
