•Chapter 7-Knowing •
"AKARI! What's going on?" Yuma started howling as his sister sped off at top speed, wheels spinning, car swerving. His sister did not speak, only threw him a note. He unfolded it, and started reading.
"Dear Yuma,
I'm sorry that I've kept this a secret for so long, but it's time you knew. Your sister was sent to a hospital in Russia, but we thought she was going to die. So we didn't tell you. We thought it would make you want to see her, but, in her current state, I don't think your mother or father would've wanted that.
Before you get angry or tear up this letter, please understand that we only did this to protect you. If you had known, and she'd died, you would've been devastated that you didn't get to see her.
Love, hugs, and kisses,
Haru and Akari." Yuma's hands shook violently as he read the letter. Akari saw him and quickly pulled over.
"Are you ok?" She asked the pale boy, who was shaking and sweating.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Yuma leapt out of the car, and threw up all over the Tarmac. After a few minutes, he came back into the car, only a bit pale and shaking.
"You good?" Akari placed her hand gently on Yuma's shoulder. He nodded, so Akari drove off so they could meet someone at the airport.
Yuka Tsukumo.
