THE YOU OF THE FARTHEST LIMIT
Chapter 1:
Yabu slowly opened his eyes, soon he’s staring at his ceiling. He rubbed his eyes with his left hand and sighed as he felt a movement from his right. Turning to that direction, Yabu smiled lightly with content, knowing that she’s still there. It had been a year now since he found her. And it had been a year now since he started searching for her past.
She had woken up, yes, and Takaki had started demanding her but she couldn’t answer anything. That was the moment Yabu had decided that it is indeed necessary for them to bring her to the hospital and report about her to the police. But then, they are still waiting. She has nowhere to stay and Yabu doesn’t have the heart to leave her somewhere else until someone comes for her, that’s why he took the responsibility of looking after her.
“This is absurd” Takaki grumbled as he drives their way home. He looked at the rear view mirror of the car to look at his friend who’s holding on the sleeping woman with them. He narrowed his eyes in disbelief as he caught Yabu’s eyes. “How can you decide on this like she’s just a puppy or a cat? She’s a complete stranger, Ko and I’m telling you, she’s very fishy and I don’t like her at all” he said
“Well I don’t like Daiki either” Yabu said calmly, adjusting his position since the woman in his arms lightly moaned. “Her name’s like a boy” he added and smiled faintly
“You don’t have to point out how boyish my girlfriend’s name is” Takaki shook his head “And she’s not related in this” he pointed out “Why can’t you be serious about this? What if she’s the reason you’d get hurt? I will never forgive myself because I can’t stop you!” he snapped
“I won’t blame you on anything, Yuya. I just want to help her” Yabu said, touching the hand of the woman
“You don’t even know her name and besides, she’s so ugly” Takaki mumbled
“Don’t judge her by appearance” Yabu frowned “That’s so unlike you” he added “Just because she’s bruised and all” he shook his head
“I can’t believe you have a fetish over battered women” Takaki shook his head
“YUYA!” Yabu snapped “How could you think that I am helping her because I have a thing over her” he said
“Kota” Takaki shook his head “You are never the reckless type unless it has something to do with your own interest” he pointed out
“You’re a good friend and so far you did nothing but help me so I’m forgiving you” Yabu sighed
After helping Yabu on settling the woman in one of rooms in the house, Takaki left saying that he doesn’t have every time in the world to idle or care that much for his friend.

“Oh, hi” Yabu greeted as the woman he was looking after opened her eyes
“H-hi” she greeted timidly. She then grimaced and touched her lips.
“You don’t need to reply, you’re still healing” Yabu smiled, standing from his chair to sit at the edge of the bed. “Oh and because of all the things that happened, with the police and hospital things, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kota. Yabu Kota” he nodded down
“Yabu-san” the woman muttered
“You can call me Kota” Yabu offered “But whichever you are comfortable with, it’s okay with me” he nodded down “By the way, since we don’t know your name and there’s nothing yet coming from the police, we should at least have a name for you” he said
“Right” the woman replied, her head going far down to hide her face
“It’s okay, you don’t have to feel down about not remembering about anything” Yabu assured “Can you think of a name you’d like me to call you?” he asked then
“Uh~” the woman blinked as she looked at Yabu.
Smiling at the length of her thoughts, Yabu’s smile turned into a grin.
“What do you think about~?” Yabu started
“Ko” the woman blurted
“Yes?” Yabu tilted his head
“Ko” the woman nodded “Is it not okay?” she asked
“Well, Ko it shall be” Yabu smiled “Since my friends call me usually by my last name and only one person do call me Ko, it is okay for you call yourself Ko” he agreed
“Thank you” the woman said, her lips moving slightly telling Yabu that she had smiled.
“Ko” Yabu tried and smiled as the woman looked at him. “I’m pleased to be your friend, Ko” he said
“Me too” Ko nodded down
The first days with Ko, Yabu felt a little awkward since she barely speaks and she usually hides her face from him. It is very obvious that she doesn’t like how her face looks because of her bruises. He simply assured her that everything will be fine and indeed everything went well. Ko’s swells disappeared, leaving her only with her bruises and deep wounds. The shallow ones healed fine, leaving no scars and Yabu hoped that same thing will happen with her deep gashes. He can’t do anything about her hair so he decided to wait for the ugly clumps to lengthen before he’d ask for Takaki’s girlfriend to help him fix it, since Daiki’s a stylist.
“Oh my god” Daiki cried out the first time she saw Ko. It was the third month since Yabu found her. She had healed beautifully and only few bruises are left to remind them of what happened to her. Her wounds had healed and Yabu’s wishes were granted. Ko did not have scars. Her hair grew long enough to be styled and she’s smiling every now and then, making Yabu satisfied somehow.
“Don’t scare her” Yabu warned and looked at his best friend who tagged along “Thanks for allowing Daiki to come and help Ko with her hair” he said gratefully
“You named her Ko” Takaki rolled his eyes “That’s like your name” he sighed
“No one calls me Ko in the first place” Yabu smiled
“That’s right” Daiki agreed “She’s so pretty” she sighed as she looked at Ko again
“Isn’t she?” Yabu grinned “Someone here called her ugly once” he teased and glanced at Takaki
“I bet it’s Yuya, he’s very judgemental” Daiki shook his head “Besides, talking to you two is not my purpose why I came. I came to pamper someone and that someone is very pretty” she grinned
“And there she finds her living doll” Takaki sighed “But I admit that I was wrong on judging her about her appearance, she’s pretty, right? But I still don’t trust her. Besides~” he drawled
“Are you bringing that up now?” Yabu asked “I told you that I’d open that topic once she remembers her past” he nodded down
“It’s taking time, you know” Takaki sighed
“I’m not hurrying” Yabu shook his head “In fact, I’m grateful that she’s with me” he smiled
“You really did fall bad” Takaki shrugged

“Good morning” Yabu greeted with a smile as Ko’s eyes opened and looked at him sleepily. She faintly smiled as well and inched closer, snuggling on his warmth. A year indeed had passed by and nothing still had come to claim her or even a tiny bit of memory came back to her.
“Good morning” Ko yawned and sat up “I’m very hungry” she said and yawned again
“Should I cook something heavy?” Yabu asked affectionately, reaching out to touch her cheek
“Hmm~” Ko sighed “Ah!” she exclaimed then “There’s this breakfast café that opened two blocks away. I saw it the other day. Can we eat there?” she asked, resting her head on Yabu’s chest
“How can I resist when you are like a cat begging for tuna?” Yabu asked “Alright, get ready” he nodded down
“Oh, it’s a little crowded” Ko said as soon as they entered the café. “Let’s get that table” she suggested and marched to the table she picked for them. Both of them settled down and got menus for them to use.
“Just pick whatever you want” Yabu suggested as he looks at his own menu. Getting no answer from Ko, he continued on looking at the dishes but as the silence lasted, he frowned and put the menu down to look at his companion just to find her staring at the portable cot resting just on the table next to them. “Hey” he called but earned nothing. “Is there something wrong?” he asked then but still got nothing. He watched as Ko reached out for the baby resting inside the cot.
“Hotaru” Ko murmured
“Ko” Yabu tried again
“My Hotaru” Ko sniffed, her fingers touching the cheek of the baby.
Yabu watched her, tears flowing out of her eyes. Is she recovering her memories now? A year ago, when he found her, after he had brought her to the hospital with Takaki the one aiding her check-up since Yabu couldn’t trust others except his friend. They discovered then that Ko had just given birth when they found her and knowing her situation, looking for her child would be impossible since even a single detail about herself, she couldn’t provide what more of the whereabouts of her child.
