It was early in the morning, and Mrs. Yumori was talking to a woman with long midnight-blue hair in a coffee shop.
"Oh, please! Can you let me borrow him? I just know it'll work this time! I'm sure!" said Mrs. Yumori, pleading to the woman in front of her.
"This is the twentieth time you said that. Seriously, every time you "borrow" Ikuto something bad happens. For example, the hospital room is too small for two people, Ikuto accidentally hits a fragile vase with his elbow or something, the vase drops on the patient, and...You know the rest of it." replied the woman, sighing at the memory of the accident.
"I think it'll work this time though! Music is the cure to cancer. I know it! Plus, this girl's parents also consented to this special method!" said Mrs. Yumori, trying to convince the woman in front of her.
"Just because it helped you get healed, it doesn't mean that everyone in the whole entire world would get healed. It's just people who love music. Plus, scientifically music doesn't heal cancer. Some people hate music" said the woman, trying to give reasons why this wasn't a good idea.
"Well, scientifically if you do something you really like, you can survive even the most deadly illness" said Mrs. Yumori.
"Alright then, does this girl that you're trying to cure actually like music?" asked the woman.
"Of course!" said Mrs. Yumori, "I wouldn't have suggested this plan in the first place if she didn't like music. She loves to hear people singing, and-"
"I mean with no vocals. Ikuto doesn't sing" said the woman, rolling her eyes.
"Uh, I never thought of that. Sorry, but I still think that the sound of the violin will at least cheer Amu up. Please?" Mrs. Yumori asked.
"...Alright." said the woman.
"Yes!" shouted Mrs. Yumori, victorious.
"But with just one condition" said the woman.
"What is it?" asked Mrs. Yumori.
"It's that you have to stay beside this girl while Ikuto plays the violin" said the woman.
"Okay" said Mrs. Yumori.
"It's a deal. You are responsible for the accidents. Not me." said the woman.
"Oh, don't worry. You won't end up paying $50,000 like the last time I borrowed Ikuto" said Mrs. Yumori.
"Don't bring out that subject. I think I'm going to change my mind" said the woman.
"Oh, sorry!" said Mrs. Yumori, "Also, thank you Souko. Thank you for letting me borrow Ikuto"
"Your welcome...also, don't call me Souko. Call me Ikuto's mother" said the woman.
"But you also have a-" said Mrs. Yumori.
"Just, I feel like it today" said the woman, smiling.
"Alright, anyway, bye Souko" said Mrs. Yumori.
"Whatever. You're hopeless. Never listening to me" said the woman, sighing.
"I know. I know." said Mrs. Yumori, smiling.
"Amu, it's time to eat your breakfast!" said the nurse who was in charge of me.
I sighed. The nurse was too hyper. Every time she came into my room something happened. Yesterday, she dropped a spoon on the floor. That wasn't too bad, but last week she accidentally spilled porridge all over my bed and on me. I had to move to another room, shower until the smell of the porridge was gone, and change into a brand new set of clothes. That kind of drained my energy, and I ended up sleeping for the rest of the day. Not so good.
"Alright, here's your porridge! Whoa! Wait don't fall porridge! No wait!" shouted the nurse.
The tray with the bowl of porridge slipped out of her hands, hit the glass vase full of flowers next to me, and thankfully fell on the floor, and not me.
"Um...I think porridge with glass, flowers, and water will also be tasty" said the nurse, a sheepish smile on her face.
I decided not to say anything.
"Should I clean this up, or you can eat it. It looks delicio-" said the nurse.
"No thank you. I think you can clean it up..." I said.
As you can see, my nurse is a little weird. I think her imagination is a little too big.
"Ikuto, please...it's my friend's request" said Souko.
"I thought you learned your lesson after paying $50,000 and saying "sorry" to the patient about sixty times" said Ikuto, lying on the couch looking lazy.
"Um, yes...I did learn my lesson. I know it's a crazy idea, but I said "yes" to my friend. I promise I won't make you do this ever again. Just this once." said Souko.
"I thought you said that last time" said Ikuto.
"Alright then...here's the deal. Just go there this once, and if you don't like it then you don't need to go there ever again. Also, I promise I'll do anything you want if you do this" said Souko, wondering why she said that at the same time.
"Anything I want? It's a deal" said Ikuto, already thinking about all the awful things he could ask for.
"Alright...deal. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow" said Souko, thinking about the awful things her son would ask for.
Second chapter finish! This chapter was a little confusing and weird. Sorry if you couldn't understand what I was writing in some parts. Anyway, Amu is meeting Ikuto in the next chapter! Yay! I'll update A.S.A.P.
