Chapter 8
Normal POV
"Why? Why does everyone say you never existed"
Her face that usually looked so bright, was now pale. Her red lips trembling, her thin fingers playing with her hair the color of Sakura petals.
"Why, Why won't they believe me? I'm not crazy! They are the ones who are crazy! Why? What should I do so that they will trust me?"
The girl was walking with a limp step towards the corner of the room. She sat, hugged her legs and buried her face into her knees until her crying and murmurs weren't clear anymore.
"What should I do Dai-chan?"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
Kagami POV
"Are you okay, Taiga?"
I lifted my head and saw Tatsuya looking at me worriedly.
"I'm fine."
I gave a half-hearted smile. I know he realized there was something wrong with me. Ever since Sakurai's case, I'm often daydreaming and unintentionally worrying the people around me. Last week, I confused Hyuuga-senpai because of my odd behavior. I didn't touch Maji burger that they bought especially for me.
I don't know why, but lately, I cannot concentrate at all. Before I realized it, my subconsciousness gradually began to remember my past.
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid to remember all the memories. Each piece of memory that popped into my head made me sure of one thing.
I used to be a human.
Just like Aomine.
I used to have a family, friends whose faces I still can't remember. And I'm pretty sure, that I have someone I loved and admired while I was alive.
Who? I don't know yet. But I feel, whoever that person is, our relationship wasn't going well. That's the thing I feared the most when I recall all these things. But, deep down, I want to recognize 'that person' again. His voice, his face, his behavior, what made me fall in love with him (#For a while, I was using he/him to refer Kagami's special person) and I wanna remember all the memories that I once had with him, even if they were a very painful thing for me.
I think I should be more focussed and let it all run naturally. I'm sure, someday I'll remember everything, I will be ready to- No, I must be prepared to face it.
"..."
And ... There is one more thing ...
I finally know what the meaning of Seme and Uke is!
Yeah, I know this is somewhat totaly off from the gloomy things that I was talking about before, but still!
Heeyy! I don't agree! Totally disagree!
How could I become an Uke?! I should have been more suited to be a Seme!
(#Maybe the main problem is not who is the uke or seme, Kagami ... But, don't you mind that they said you're gay? XP)
And why do I have to be a Aomine's partner!? It was weird! It is impossible!
Uuugh, nevermind. I don't want to think about it anymore.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
I'm pretty sure there must be something wrong.
Suddenly, the chief called me and told me to meet him to discuss my new mission. I've been an angel for six months and never once did the chief give me any direct instructions about my missions.
And now, I'm standing in front of a large wooden door with unique carvings on the front, with the title 'Seirin Chief'.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Come in!"
Gulp.
Here we go, Kagami!
"You called me, Sir?"
"Sit down please."
"Umm .. Thank you Sir."
Five minutes had already passed, but the brown-haired man who sat across of me just looked at me without saying a word.
Uuugh ... This is really awkward.
"... Sir? "
Finally, the chief sighed and stared straight into my eyes.
"I have a new mission for you."
"Yes?"
"Are you willing to take this case?"
"Can I refuse the missions that are given to me? I guess since I didn't have any problems with my previous missions, I won't have any with the mission this time, Sir."
The chief was silent, but he didn't take his eyes off me.
"You know, Taiga ..."
My given name. Kagetora-san only use my first name if we are not on duty or he wanted to talk about important things. Kagetora-san is one of the closest people to me, one who cared about me ever since I woke up six months ago.
"You are one of my subordinates that I consider as my own son and I want the best for you."
"Could I know which direction this conversation is going in, Kagetora-san?"
I began to feel uncomfortable and felt that something big will happen.
"With this new mission and new target, there is a possibility that you..."
"Yeah?"
"...will remember all of your lost memories again."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
After I convinced Kagetora-san that I'm ready to take on my new mission, I was finally getting my binder mission from Tatsuya. I went back to my room and carefully read my new target's data.
Name : Momoi Satsuki
Gender : Female
Age : 16
Height : 161 cm
Weight : -
Bhirthday : May 4th
Zodiak : Taurus
I was studying the photograph of the beautiful girl with hair the color of bubble gum in my mission file. Do I know this girl? Was she my friend? Or was she ... the one I loved?
But I immediately denied my last question. Somehow, I'm pretty sure this girl isn't 'the person' who I had admired before.
I think I can't just sit here and stare at this file. I have to find this girl and get ready for all the things that would greet me later.
You can do it Kagami!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
Ah! That's my target's home! Momoi? Yes, Momoi.
Alright, let's end this quickly!
GRAB!
Suddenly someone grabbed my wrist and my body turned toward that person.
"Wha-"
I stopped. In front of me, Aomine stood with a strange expression. He looks sad and ... hurt? What happened to him?
"Aomine, are you alright?"
I never thought I would ask this to Aomine. Aomine didn't immediately answer my question, he stared at me as if he was looking for something.
"Did you get Satsuki as your new target?"
Once again, he called our targets with their first name. I know, he told me I was special, but it couldn't shake off this annoyed feeling when he called someone else by their first name other than myself.
And you! Get rid of that sly smile on your face! Because I'm not jealous, you got it?!
"Yeah, I know. We got the same target again, right? I am sure I will win again this time-"
"Don't take this mission, Taiga."
"Huh?"
Aomine tightened his grip on my hand.
"Ouch! Ahomine, you're holding my hand too-"
"I beg you, please don't take this mission Taiga."
"Aomine ..?"
"Just forget it! You can look for another mission."
"..."
" I really beg you, don't take this mission... "
What actually happened with Aomine? I've never seen his expression this upset and it makes my chest ache. I don't want him to make that expression, but I've made up my mind since Kagetora-san gave me this mission.
"Can you tell me the reason why you don't want me to take this mission?"
Aomine bowed and shook his head but he didn't release his grip on my wrist.
"... I can't."
Now I'm really pissed. He just came out of nowhere and begged me.
Yes, begged to me.
I never dreamed that Aomine would beg me for something. And unfortunately, I simply couldn't accept his request, especially for no apparent reason.
"I'm sorry Aomine. I don't know why you don't want me to take this mission. But for me, this mission is very important and I have to go through this mission to find out the thing I need to know most. "
Without listening to Aomine any further, I batted his hand away and flew off. I'm afraid if I was I would with him any longer there, I would change my mind.
Normal POV
Aomine closed his eyes and laughed bitterly.
"Why Am I asking you not to go see Satsuki ...?"
He balled his fist until his knuckles were white. He was trembling, holding all the emotions within him.
"Because you will remember everything, Taiga. You will remember your family, you will remember your friends... You will remember me and you will hate me."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
Kagami POV
I went to Momoi's house and pretended to be her friend. Her mother greeted me friendly and let me enter. Her mother told me about all the strange things that happened to her daughter.
Momoi's nature had mysteriously changed since five months ago. Momoi who was usually a cheerful girl became quiet and was often seen daydreaming. She was getting worse now.
"Without any apparent reason, she became hysterical and screamed at the people around her. She claimed that she had a 'friend' and asked about her imaginary friend to everyone. Finally, my husband and I decided to let her rest and not attend school for now, but there is no progress at all."
Momoi's mother wasn't able to cover her sadness because of her daughter condition.
"Could I see her?"
"Of course. Since a week ago she didn't want to meet with anyone and locked herself in her room. I hope that with the visit from one of her friends, she will calm down again."
Momoi's mother took me to her daughter's room. After nearly half an hour of persuading her daughter to open the door, finally, Momoi opened the door. Momoi's mother had left us to let us talk.
Slowly, I could see the face of my target who was sitting on the corner of the room, biting her nails. She looked totally different from the photo in my file. Her face is pale, there are black lines under her eyes, her long hair look tangled now.
"Uuumm .. Hi, my name is-"
Momoi lifted her head and her eyes widened. Her face looked shocked and confused.
"You ..."
Slowly she stood up, pointing her finger towards me.
"You're Kagami Taiga, right...?"
This time I was the one who shocked, how could she know my name?
"Umm .. yeah. Do I know you?"
Suddenly, a pillow flew to me and I barely caught it. I started panicking when Momoi kept throwing the things around her at me.
"Get out! I don't want to see you! You are the cause of all this!"
"Wa-"
"Get Ouuutt! I hate you! I really hate you!"
Hearing the commotion we caused, Momoi parents rushed toward us. Her mother tried to calm Momoi and her father took me out of her room.
However, Momoi shouted something that made me halt my step and turn towards her room with a bewildered face.
"You're the reason! You're the cause of Daiki's death!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-
Cliffhanger? No?
Ha hha, But we will know the truth soon..
Thank's for read this and see ya! :)
