Chapter Two- Kir? Or Kira?
ORB, he's been leaving there as far as he remember. Together with his sister and my mother but after a year he leave alone together with the orphaned child. Those orphaned child where the victims of the last war. He didn't know when he started accepting orphaned child in his new build mansion beside the ocean. He left their home because he feels that something was off. That everything doesn't feel right.
He's been in coma for a year. He can't remember anything. He got retrograde amnesia due to internal hemorrhage. There's so many changes that happen according to his sister but he can't says if there such a big changes that happen. The war was over after he woke up. He got caught in the fight between the ORB and Plants.
Almost five years ago after he woke up from his coma, he's been dreaming about this girl. His sister says that maybe before she got into an accident he make a vow to a girl. When he asked who it might be she didn't answer. She didn't know who it might be because he is too secretive. When he asked his mother he didn't know too. Whoever might she be, he wish that she'll find happiness even if he's not the cause of that happiness.
He looked at the sky, it's too bright. It's already lunch time by the time he reach ORB, too hot. He search for his car keys at his pocket. He played at his car keys as he looked for his car. He didn't notice that someone heading his way talking to someone.
"Where did I park it? There!" he murmur.
He bump to someone, his car keys drop. He apologize not looking at the person he bump to as he took the keys. It's seems the man didn't even notice him too.
"It's okay."
He got inside his car. He was about to start the engine's car when he notice that the reddish chestnut haired man is looking at his car. He's the one he bump just now. He's with a red-violet haired girl. Even though the man can't see him in that tinted window, that man still curiously stared at him which he also did.
"Shinn, is there a problem?" The girl asked and looked his way too.
"Nothing... It's just he looks familiar."
"Who?" The man named Shinn just shake his head and walked together with the girl.
He still stared at them when he can't see them now, he start his engine's car and got out there.
Did I know him? That man looks familiar.
He shake that taught out of his mind. He was caught up thinking when he notice that he was near to his home. He glanced at the ocean. From where he was driving he can clearly see the ocean and the Orb memorial's. He's in the high way driving on his way to his mansion.
"It's really hot!" He murmur.
Kir, I'm calling you answer this phone!
He starled when heard a phone ring. My sister change his phone's ring tone and she always do that when she had the time and chance. My phone where did I put it? Ahh.. Dashboard.
He opened the dash board and took his phone. When he looked at the screen, one named which he knows very well and he feels some dark aura emitting from it.
How scary. Audrey...
He sighed answer the call, "I'm on my way there."
"I taught I'll fetch you up, Kira!" Audrey's angry voice could damage any eardrums.
"Later!" Kira hang up his phone and speed up his car. Then, he hears a 'bang'. "Did she put a curse in this car?"
A loud laughter can be heard in the middle of the road near the Orb memorial. Her laughter sound like , 'Buwahahaha' or 'hah hah hah' but I can hear 'bwa' from her mouth. The man kept his face expressionless, though he really wanted to laugh, as he stared at the young girl laughing really hard as if there's no tomorrow. He really feel like covering his ears but if he tried to she won't stop. The best way is to let her have fun and he would let himself have fun. Jeez, what are they? Idiot?
"KJ!" She pouted.
"Did you bring the spare?" He sighed. He feels that she had done something with his car.
"No." The girl proudly declared.
He feels that a vein popped in his forehead. Okay, enough! She's the idiot one. 'am not.
"It's your fault. I said that I'll fetch you but you gotten here without even informing me."
He feels that he's talking to a child but the one in front of her is no a mere child. For goodness sake! She's already twenty five to act like that. From head to toe's, there's no sign of a child.
If she doesn't open her mouth I admit she doesn't looked like a kid. No one who'd mistake her for a kid. She got curves and all. And she's oozing with sex appeal. But that got been blocked because of being a mischievous girl. Wait, I feel like I'm a pervert. Stop it.
He sighed and whispered, "What a pain."
"Did you say something? Huh!?" She glared at him.
"Audrey..." He murmur.
"Yes, Kir?"
"Okay, what do you want?"
Finally, he admit defeat. He knows she wanted something from me. That's the reason why Audrey kept on presenting herself to fetch him. He even believe that Audrey knows some black magic or she just plain curse everyday, which Audrey always did when she's mad at someone. Sometimes, her curse effective. Like how the girl slipped from walking after she humiliate Audrey. He feels goosebumps.
"Yahoo! I want to go to a mall and buy lots of, lots of new jeans and shirt! My dress won't fit anymore. So, I need a new one." Audrey jumped as if she win a lottery.
"I taught so..." Kir sighed, "And please stop..."
"Let the towing car handle your car, okay?"
"What!?" Is she really twenty five years old or a five years old. He sighed again, "It really hard raising a twenty five years old child."
"Let's go! To the nearest mall!" Audrey said out loud raising her hand.
"What do you think of me? A credit card?" Kir sighed as he approached the purple car.
"I'll be the driver." Audrey says as she toss and catch the key.
Kir stop walking towards the car, turned around to looked at Audrey and gulped. Audrey is a reckless driver. That's the main reason why he doesn't want Audrey to fetch him. He'll die from heart attack. That's certain. Audrey doesn't even know how to use brakes. Try imagining driving without using brakes. Audrey is a wanna be road racer and a road racer for her doesn't need to use brakes. He remember the last time he let Audrey drive he almost died from heart attack. Kidding! But really he can't let her drive. He doesn't want to visit the Police station the first day he came back here.
"Don't you dare. I'll be the one driving!"
Audrey stop walking and curiously looked at Kir. Kir took the keys from Audrey and seat at the driver seat. He adjusted the rear view mirror as Audrey sit beside the passenger seat. He noticed that someone seating at his back. He turned around to see a young boy shyly looking at him. He then turned to look at Audrey.
Auel was a eight years old boy and one of the boy he took in from the hospital he visited for a check up. He found out that the boy parents die from the last war and it's aunt, who were supposed to be taking care of him left him in front of the hospital bleeding to death. Auel won't say what happen and kept quiet.
Well, after he took him in Auel won't go anywhere where he can't see me. He really didn't know what Audrey says to him and he seems fine now. I'm getting curious.
His mother let Audrey take care of the children when he's away. She said it's Audrey's fault for ruining that contracts and he is the one fixing that.
Well, mom's right. It's Audrey's fault for not showing up there. But, I can't let myself not to be worried. Audrey's not good at handling children. And my house is like an orphanage no more like a day care center.
"Auel insisted. He says he wants to see you." Audrey pouted, "Auel say hi to your uncle."
Uncle?
He frowned. That doesn't feel right. He was about to interrupt but he lost again to Audrey. He doesn't really win if Audrey is his opponent.
"Go ahead."
"Uncle Kira?"
That doesn't feel right. One hundred percent not right. But can he win against a child? A young one and much older one? How I wish my work took longer in Plants. Life much easier there.
"Let's go! Let's go! Auel, you sing too!" Audrey encouraged Auel to sing with her, "By the way, I set you a date. Next week. Saturday night seven pm. Don't yah forgot!"
"What!?"
"Is he stupid? How the the word 'mind reader' became 'lid girl'? No! He's really stupid! Matt is stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
Kir really liked walking out or just cover his ears but can't. He's holding a lot of shopping bags which Audrey bought. Well, all of it was paid by him. They we're been going shop from shop buying clothes.
I'm the one who paid for it but she doesn't even took one or two bags from him. And shouldn't I be the one she should treat? I'm the one who fixed the problem she caused.
He really wanted to hide his face. People were looking at their directions. He feel embarrassed. Audrey won't stop cursing while eating the ice cream and walking. He really feels like running away.
"Stop cursing brother. He can't understand you 'cause you're eating ice cream. Try calling him when you calm down and emptied that ice cream." Kir sighed and walked away.
"I don't wanna! Let him find a 'lid girl'." Audrey says as she opened another strawberry flavored ice cream.
Take note that's the second serve of half gallon of ice cream Audrey eat while walking. And about the 'lid girl', well, even I misheard the word 'mind reader' from the word 'lid girl'. When they saw a poster of a movie named 'mind reader', Audrey suddenly called Matt and discussed the 'mind reader' thing and well because she's eating ice cream 'they' didn't understand what Audrey wanted to say. The only thing he understand is 'let's wash 'lid girl'.
"Okay! To the next store! Let's eat lot's of ice cream."
She really acts like a child.
"You'll keep getting fat if you won't stop that."
He didn't intend to voice it out but he can't it back. He glanced at his shoulder but luckily Audrey wasn't paying attention to me. Audrey looked worried and keep looking around. He also looked around.
Something's was off.
"Where's Auel?"
Holy cow! Auel boy is missing.
"I taught he's with you?" Kir says without thinking.
He then remember that because his been holding too much bags he let Audrey hold Auel's hand but because Audrey busy eating her ice cream they lost Auel.
"You're point is? It's my fault?" Audrey's faced turned red.
Oh, she's pissed off. Better get out here.
"No, I'm not. I'll look for him. I'll call you when I found him and call me if you did."
He's been looking around for Auel. No luck. He can't see him. He came back from where they were before. He heard a child crying.
"Auel!"
Kir sighed from relief when he saw Auel crying.
"Find you atlast..."
He walked towards Auel but he slowly walked and stop. That pink haired girl, the girl she saw at Orb memorial. She's walking out of the dress shop. He didn't bother reading what shop it is. He stand there slack-jawed looking at the pink haired girl.
Is this destiny? This is the second time he met that pink haired girl in one day.
He gets uncomfortable and he feels his cheek heat up. He cover his mouth. He knows that he's blushing and his heart beat faster. That girl is gorgeous but it's not like it's the first time he met a beautiful girl. But that girl, he really like her eyes and the way he smiled. He felt someone called him 'pervert' but when he turned around he didn't see Audrey. The one who always says that he's a pervert. He breath in and out before he got near Auel.
"Auel." He called out to Auel as he got near him.
"Uncle Kira!" Auel stop crying and hug him as he kneeled his one knee.
"Hold my hand so you won't get lost okay?" He hug
Auel just shook his head up and down. He stand up and glanced once more to the girl they called 'Lacus'.
Lacus? Where did I heard that name? Then, it hit him. That's the reason why. She's the ex-chairman of Plants. That's why her face looked familiar. Maybe, she's not? Another Lacus look alike?
"Uncle Kira? What's the matter?"
Kir looked at Auel smiled and shake his head.
"Nothing. Let's go. Don't let go of my hand again so you won't be lost."
Auel smiled back at him. He glanced at Lacus before he walked away holding Auel's hand. He took his phone from his pocket and called Audrey.
"Where are you? I found Auel."
"At comfort room. It seems my stomach upset."
"What?" From the back of his mind a voice says, I told you so.
"I said I don't need to see a doctor. My stomach just upset. Get it?"
Kir whispered some curses before he followed his sister. She's really stubborn. After the phone call and proclaimed that she had stomach upset, she seemed fine. But when they were at the parking area of the mall, Audrey almost fainted. He got really nervous. He send Audrey to the nearest hospital. When they were there she suddenly said that she doesn't needed to go see a doctor.
Audrey stop walking. She breath in and out. He can see her back moving from breathing. Suddenly, Audrey's shoulder started shaking. He could hear small sniffs and he knows where it came from. He turned Audrey around and tears were streaming down on her cheeks.
"I'm fine! I don't need to see a doctor. I wanna go home. I want to go home." Audrey's voice sounds cracked.
"Are you okay? Where does it hurt? I really think you should see a doctor."
"I really want to go home."
"Okay, okay. We'll go home."
He carried her bride style and hurriedly go in the parking area.
I really am stupid. Why did I forgot that Audrey have aversion in staying too long in the hospital.
He really feels smacking himself. What an idiot am I? Audrey hates hospital.
When he got in the parking area in front of that hospital he hurriedly looked at the purple car. He left Auel before there and the air condition on. Children is not allowed at the hospital. He planned on dropping him at the mansion before going to the hospital but Audrey's stomach hurts again.
He opened the door at the back of the car and let Audrey sit there.
"Are you okay now? Feeling better?" Audrey just shook his head 'yes'.
He kissed her forehead and closed the door before he got in the driver seat. He adjusted the rear view mirror and turned around to looked at Auel, who smiled at him. He double check if both Audrey and Auel are fine before she start the engine.
He looked at the rear view mirror and squinted his eyes. He feels that someone looking at him but he ignored it. When he turned around to see who is it the first person he saw is Audrey looked fine and kicking.
"What are you waiting for? End of the world? Will you make it fast!"
Yes, Audrey's fine now. She can kick anyone's butt now. And she can manhandled anyone.
He's dreaming again. The same dream. I know what he would do and what will happen. Everything is the same.
"Where are you going?" The girl asked to him.
"It's a secret." It's my voice.
"Will it take you longer?"
"No, I'll just check things up there."
"Okay, take care!" The girl smiled at him and he returned it with a kiss and a big smile.
"I'll be back."
He knows that girl the girl is unhappy. He knows why. Because 'he' can't come back to that person anymore. He lost the rights. He lost it because he can't remember her anymore. The girl he swore that he'll come back.
Kir woke up from that dream again. He's breathing is unsteady. He looked at his table clock. 5:20. The sun is about to rise any minute. He wear his jogging pants and jersey. He wanted to take a jog at the beach and maybe thru this he can clear his mind. As I stepped out of the house, he felt the morning and ocean breeze.
It's cold. Got to run for it.
He warmed up a little before he started jogging. It was still dark around but little by little a mixture of yellow and orange on the horizon started to show. He stopped jogging and stared at the sun peeking over the horizon. He sit in the sand where he won't get wet from the ocean's waves. He keep on staring at the yellow, orange sky and waiting as if something will happen.
Want some coffee?
He heard a girl's voice and turned around to look who's voice is it. There's no one around. He shake his head and sighed. Another hallucination. He sit there for a minute before he started jogging again towards their home.
When he notice he's near to his house he looked around and saw what he was looking for, that mansion. At first, he wanted to buy that one. It gives a homey feeling but the owner's of that mansion won't sell it even though they're not staying to leave there. There's a lot of people leaving there but due to the war it got destroy and had to be renovated. As he keep on jogging he notice that the light was on.
So, they finally decided to stay? For how many days would they stay there? I really want to buy that one. Maybe, I can convince that owner to let me bought that one.
As he reach his home, he smell something nice from the dining room. He curiously looked and saw a breakfast meal, hotdog, ham, eggs and bread.
"Who cook this? Asagi, maybe?" He frowned.
"It's not me. It's aunt Audrey."
Kir jumped away when he hears someone talk behind him. He quickly turned around to see Asagi, a fifteen years old orphaned, wearing her long white nightgown and her long black hair is in a mess, too.
I taught she's Sadako from the Ring. Wait, what did she said? Audrey cooked this?
"What!?" Kir wide-eyed looked at Asagi's eye.
He stared at the food and gulped. Was it even edible?
"Don't worry you won't get food poisoned eating her cook. She improved." Asagi said as she left.
Kir can't believe it. His sister who doesn't know how to cook and really dosen't like cooking, improved? But, is that true? Can he really trust what Asagi said? Asagi leave him thinking whether it's true or not. They can't blame them.
I got food poisoned before.
"By the way, where is she?"
"She just left."
Why? Is she in a rush? "Did she say anything?"
"Nothing... No, she said that a typhoon will come. That's all."
"What did she meant with that?"
"Who knows?" Asagi said then turned around. "I'll wake up the others. It's not good to let the food wait."
As Asagi left, he peek from the kitchen and looked at the stairs. The only lights opened was on the dining area and the rest is still turned off. You'll get this wild imagination that Asagi walking upstairs floating like ghost. Well, Asagi really looks like Sadako. It gives me goosebumps thinking that and too old for me to be scared of ghost. Even child now a days don't believe in ghost.
He walked inside the dining area and smell something nice. Cooked meals serve at the tables with a cover. He opened it and looked at them. Even if there are only eggs, hotdog and ham they are not burnt. The last time he let her cook eggs, the kitchen almost burnt. He taste the egg and ham.
Nice. Doesn't taste funny. Well, it's too easy to cook fried eggs but he's really curious before why Audrey doesn't know how to cook it.
He went to the kitchen and fetch some cold water at the fridge while drinking the open window caught his attention. He can see that house. The only neighbor he got. He almost choked when he saw thru the window that pink haired girl.
What kind of coincidence is this?
He hears footstep walking towards him. He turned around and saw the four years old boy, Gerard.
"What are you staring at uncle Kir?"
He looked curious. He even pulled the chair and set it beside him and stand at it to look outside the window.
"Aunt Lacus!" Gerard shout and wave.
He didn't know whether the girl saw us or not. He didn't know why but he's body move on his own. He just see himself sitting in the floor, breathing hard.
"What are you doing there?"
He saw Asagi staring at him then to where Gerard staring at and frowned back to him. She turned her attention to Gerard.
"Gerard, that's dangerous. Don't do that again, okay?"
Asagi took Gerard from where he is standing and walked away but turned around when she remember something.
"Everyone is in the dining room. Let's it, Pervert." Asagi murmur that last word that only he can hear it then left.
"That's not..." Before he can explain to Asagi was long gone
I didn't do anything wrong.
He turned around to look at his neighbor but the girl wasn't there anymore. He followed Asagi to the dining area shaking his head.
Kir was reading at the hammock at the side of the house. He yawn and stop reading. He's really sleepy. He look at his wrist watch, it's already 3 o'clock.
"I'll just take a nap." He murmur. He cover his face by the book his been reading but remove it again. "I can't sleep." He stared at the blue sky. He closed his eyes.
Finally, he can relax. He got two long week vacation after he fixed the problem that Audrey caused. It took him one week of sleepless night to fix that problem and as a reward, Matt gave him that paid vacation.
"I wish Audrey don't cause anymore problem."
Audrey spells trouble. When she got into trouble, she will always come back running to him. Her sister always like that. A twenty five years old with a four years old attitude and trouble maker. I am a lucky one.
He heard someone knock in the front door. He didn't move and wait for the children to open it but when a minute pass and no one open the door. He then remember that the kids was at school and he's the only one there.
He stand up and went directly in front of his house. He was about to call out the one knocking when he saw that was none other than that pink haired girl.
That girl, she's really a beauty. Maybe we're destined together. Kidding...
He gulped and called her when she's about to leave, "Is there something you need?"
The girl looked at him. The girl's face became expressionless as she stared at him. Then suddenly she dropped her basket. He looked at the basket full of kringle, luckily even a single of it didn't fell in the floor. He stared again at the pink haired girl. Now, he saw it. The girl's eye became watery.
She got pale cerulean colored eyes. Wait, she's about to cry? Did I do something wrong?
"Is there something wrong?" He got worried.
"Kira?"
Wait, what? How did she know me? Now, it's different.
"Excuse me. How did you know me?"
"Did you even notice?"
She frowned and curiously looked at him.
"No matter what happen, the sun will still rise every morning."
"But, you won't notice that in Plants." She thoughtlessly said.
"Yeah... I know."
Silence. Both of them stared at the sun that about to rise, sitting at the sand.
"... you... me..."
She glanced at Kira. She heard that he say something but because she's too conscious of Kira. He's been staring at her as if he wants to say something important.
"Nothing."
Kira just smiled at her and stared at the sky. He got serious all of the sudden.
"What is it?" She pout at him.
"Nothing really. Maybe, next time at the right time."
She just kept quiet and stared at the orange-yellow sky while wondering what he wants to tell to her.
If only she kept bugging him. Maybe, she won't feel regret.
