Chapter Notes:
This may seem more predominately than the last chapter, but the story might switch from 1st to 3rd person... that is from Tatanaga's and the narrator's point of view
DREAMS CHAPTER 2
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"OK, OK, keep things calm, don't panic. When I walk outside, everything will be the same, Fusuke will be there, and Onii-chan will be making breakfast".
"Ohayo Tatanaga-kun"
"Ohayo Onii-chan, where's Fusuke"
"Don't know, haven't seen him all morning"
"Shit!"
"Watch it, Tatanaga"
"Gomen"
Of course, it was a beautiful day, with sunlight streaming through the silken draperies, and it filtered into Tatanaga's eyes. He hated it. The sun disabled his ability to see, for however beautiful it may seem to one's eyes, it was poison to the next.
" Asuka-Chan, have you seen Fusuke?"
"Ne, Tatanaga, why?"
"No reason"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day mocked him. As if knowing his moves, it toyed with him, sometimes a minute went by like a second, the next an eternity... the sun was just setting, a duskish color, orange and a touch of peach, colors swirling...
But hell, I wouldn't know, I was deep in contemplation
"Nandakoregrai!"
My eyes snapped open. He had his eyes shut while riding his bike, and now he suffered the consequences...
"Kuso!"
I had ridden into a car, and his knee was gashed pretty badly, but at that moment, I heard a women's voice...
"Tatanaga..."
"Huh?"
It was the same voice as in his dreams... ignoring the pain, I got up and hitched my bike and rode towards the voice that was beckoning me...
I followed blindly, desperately clinging to the voice... it was addicting, it offered hope that Fusuke might actually be alive... a chance to get Fusuke back...
All of a sudden I found myself falling off a cliff, falling into the darkness... I heard someone screaming, and I realized it was Fusuke's, and that I will never live to see him again...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I awoke, with a headache and a pain in my knee, then I remembered the gash, and everything hit me in a whirlwind...
"Fusuke..."
"A woman"
"Never see him again..."
"Hiroki"
"He is not good in your world"
"Pain"
"Confusion"
"Lost"
"Dreams..."
I got up, brushing off the dust and grime, and winced as I put weight on my knee... I took out a towel and wrapped it tightly around my knee. It helped, a bit, and I was no longer cringing when I took a step...
I walked down the passageway... I didn't know where it would take me, but that was a risk I had to take... to save Fusuke...
As I walked down the tunnel, sucking up my fear of where this will take me... to a crazy murderer, or straight to hell... well, there went my overactive imagination again...
"I gotta save Fusuke..."
The thought of this ran through my mind and my mouth, I thought it, spoke it, FELT it as I hobbled through the duct...
I remembered the incident where Fusuke and I were hanging out at the park... We were still young, still innocent, barely reaching 6. It was a fine day, where nothing could go wrong...
"Tatanaga-kun?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think we'll be friends forever?"
"I think so Fusuke"
"I hope so..."
"A lot of good that did..."
But still I trudged on, clinging to the fact that Fusuke could still be alive...
"I'm coming..."
