Chapter 36 - The Truth From The Sorrow Past
Ryosuke slowly open his eyes and found himself in a comforting warmth.
“Aah, you’re awake !” A voice chirped out near him.
Ryosuke try to focusing on the face. “Alquirro ?” He calls in confusing.
“I found you when I was on my ride home and when I called you, you suddenly collapsed.” The girl explain as he touches the boy’s forehead. “Hmm… You’re fever is rising up. You better change your clothes.” She tells the Ryosuke calmly.
She stands and take something from the closet in that room before he hands it to the boy.
Ryosuke stare at the bunch of clothes on Alquirro’s hands blankily.
“Here. Change into this. These are not girl clothes you know.” She smiles when Ryosuke finally take the clothes. “I’ll wait outside.” She then leaves the room.
Ryosuke slowly changed into the clothes Alquirro just gave him. It’s a warm white sweater and a pair of white pants. He put his wet clothes beside the bed.
“I’m done. You may come in.” He informs the waiting girl.
Alquirro then come inside the room with a bowl of gruel and a glass of hot chocolate on her hands. “Oh ! It suits you !” She exclaims happily. “Here. Eat these.” She then offers the food which Ryosuke take confusedly as the girl grab his wet clothes and bring them out.
Ryosuke already finished half of his gruel when Alquirro returned.
“How do you feel ?” She asks the boy.
“Warm.” Ryosuke answered plainly.
“Let’s move to another room once you finished your food.” Alquirro suggested.
“Why ?” Ryosuke ask confusedly.
“The bed is wet. You can’t sleep on it anymore.” Alquirro simply reply.
“Aah.” Ryosuke commented shortly as he continues his meal.
About 15 min later, Ryosuke finally finished his food and Alquirro help him walk to the new room after she made sure that Ryosuke also drank the medicines. The room is a little bigger than the room before. But both have similar nuance. A comforting white room.
Alquirro help him sit on the bed and cover him with warm thick white blanket.
“Arigatou.” Ryosuke mumble.
“Don’t mind.” Alquirro smile as she seated herself beside him.
“For everything else too.” Ryosuke speak in a lower voice.
Alquirro just smile again. It’s rare for her to be like this but Ryosuke doesn’t feel strange about it. Instead, he feels so comfortable with her.
“Mind telling me why did you wander around under the rain and ended up collapsed ?” She asks.
Ryosuke keep his mouth shut toward her question.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.” She smiles again and is about to leave when Ryosuke finally speak up.
“I, had a fight with my parents.”
Alquirro frown and sit back. “What happened ?” She asks concernedly.
Then, Ryosuke tell her the whole story until the part when he ended up run out of the house.
Alquirro sigh. “Ryosuke, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Ryosuke tensed up and shifted on the bed uncomfortably. “What is it ?” Ryosuke ask.
“I know who your real family are.” She speaks sadly. “In fact, I was involved in the incident which made you a Yamada.”
“W-what ?” Ryosuke widen his eyes.
“My mother, was the Guardian of the Goddess years ago, along with Einsatz to guard the God, when Rea was just 10 and I was 4. The Goddess was Rea’s mother.” Alquirro started. “You know, her twin daughters, Rea and Shana were both intelligent and talented. They were both great back then. Rea was a Monk and Shana was a Guillotine though they were just 10. I adored them both, especially Shana. They were like a star in my eyes. However, the 2 of them had different personality. Rea was more modest while Shana was more ambitious. I guess that’s the beginning of the tragedy.”
“There’s one rule in the Org, which stated that it was the youngest child of Kishimoto would be the heir of the Org. If the child was too young to take over the job when his/her predecessor died, then the position will be handled by the Paladin until the child is grown up. In this case, Rea was younger by 6 min from Shana so it made her the heir. Shana was unhappy, but she kept quiet at first.” Alquirro frown.
“And then, the Goddess was pregnant again. Her husband, the God was killed when she was 6 months pregnant. After that, she had to took care of the Kishimoto family by her own. Soon, Shana confronted her for her will of being the next Goddess after her. But the Goddess said no to her and that made Shana left the house. Until 2 months later, on the day the Goddess was about to gave a birth, she came back.” Alquirro looked on the ceiling with a sad smile. “I still remember that night clearly. Clearer than any other memory on my head. That nightmare.”
“What happened ?” Ryosuke ask in reflex.
“My mother was helped the Goddess to gave a birth. I was there, hiding under the desk. I wanted to watched but my mother forbid me to. But I think that she actually knew that.” She smiles bitterly before continuing. “Just right after the Goddess gave birth, Einsatz came in. He was panicked. He told my mother that someone attacked us, and intended to vanish all the Kishimoto clan. My mother knew that she had no chance as well as the Goddess because she was too weak back then. So she made one critical decision.”
“What is that ?”
*FLASHBACK*
The worried middle-aged woman stared at the another woman who was lying weakly on the bed. Then she turned her gaze to the newly born baby who was just got cleaned and dressed.
“Einsatz, you must took Rea-sama away. I’ll buy you some times while you run.” The woman finally spoke up in a rush.
“What about you ? And the baby ? And Goddess-sama ?” Einsatz asked frantically.
“The baby will be saved. You wait at the place we used to meet and you’ll found the baby save. As for me, I can’t leave Goddess-sama by her own and she’s not in a condition of running away.” The woman told Einsatz while looking right into his eyes.
“Does that mean… ?”
“I’m sorry. But promise me one thing.” She asked hurriedly.
“What is that ?” Einsatz asked back.
“Take care of Maya after this.” She begged to the man.
Einsatz stayed silent for a while before he walked outside the door and gave a last glance to the woman he loved.
“Maya, come here now.” She spoke again when Einsatz went out.
A little girl with long black hair and soft pink dress came out from under the desk. “Mama, what happened ?” She asked innocently.
“I need you to do a favor for Mama.” The woman told her as she handed over the baby. “You take care of the baby and run to a place Mama brought you a month ago remember ?”
The girl nodded as she took the baby.
“You make sure to take care the baby well. Ein-chan will be waiting for you there okay ?” The woman smiled to her.
The girl nodded again and followed the woman to a secret passage behind the cupboard.
“Now you run as fast as you can and never look back.” The woman told her as she closed the door.
“Mama ! Mama !” The girl shouted with the baby still on her embrace.
She slowly could hear another voice spoke from the room quietly and followed by her mother’s yells.
“She never gave the birth ! There’s no baby here !”
BANG! BANG!
The girl wanted to run back to her mother but then she was stopped when she saw the baby’s figure. The baby stared at her with a firm and challenging look with the baby’s dark-brown eyes.
The girl then ran away from that place to where her mother told her. The place was quite far but she felt like nothing could stop her right now as she didn’t even realized the tears on her eyes.
But then, her body gave up. Not so far away from where she was supposed to be, she collapsed to the ground and her grip on the baby unconsciously loosened.
She awakened when she felt a hand shaking her body.
“Ein-chan ?” She asked as she rubbed her eyes slowly.
The man helped her sit and asked, “How are you feeling, Maya ?”
“I’m tired.” She weakly replied.
“Where’s the baby ? Einsatz said the baby will be save !” Another voice burst out.
“Rea-sama, please calm down. Give Maya time to think.” Einsatz lectured the older girl.
“The, baby…” The girl tilted her head. “THE BABY ! Where is the baby ?!” She shouted frantically.
“Don’t tell me…” Einsatz hold his breath.
The girl cried as she realized that the baby is missing. “Mama told me that I have to take care of the baby but I failed her. The baby was just with me but then I was exhausted and passed out. I’m useless.”
Rea seemed to shocked but she didn’t cry a bit. Instead, she approached the girl and pulled her into an embrace.
“Don’t cry. You’re not useless. You did your best. The baby will be just fine.” She spoke softly.
“Hontou ?” The girl asked for reassurement.
Rea just nodded and smiled warmly. “My brother will be just fine.”
*END OF FLASHBACK*
“What, what happened to the b-baby then ?” Ryosuke ask, his heart is beating fast.
“It seemed that he was found by some particular scientist who brought him home and raised him as his own son. Why he didn’t brought me ? Well, I guess the baby was rolled further from my place so his founder didn’t found me. But it seemed that he didn’t received a proper treatments he should received. His founder’s wife and son thought the baby as the bad-luck barrier and so they blamed him in everything went wrong in their lives.” Alquirro stated.
“And ?” Ryosuke cleared his throat.
“And fate brought him back. After the deaths of his foster family, he was taken care by a gentle man who is related to his real family. He and his wife treated him well, and at last, one of his last family left recognized him and told the one who had been taken care of him.” Alquirro speak quietly. She then stares at Ryosuke with a loving eyes. “That baby was you Ryosuke. The real heir of the DarkGod Org. The last chain of the Kishimoto clan. It’s you, Yamada Ryosuke, or I should say, Kishimoto Ryosuke.”
Ryosuke is left stunned for several min before he asks ever so quietly. “How, how could Rea knew that I was, that baby ? What if, what if I’m not ?”
“It was actually me who recognized you. Rea, she surely had a feeling about you, but couldn’t figured it out at first.” Alquirro smile.
“You ? But how could… ?” Ryosuke frown.
“When I saw into your eyes, I knew. I asked Rea about you and she told me about your past. After that, I told her that I knew you were that baby. And she finally realized that this was the reason of her strange feeling toward you. But she was only sure about that after she did a DNA test.” Alquirro answered his unfinished question.
“My eyes ? How could you recognized me only by my eyes ?” Ryosuke ask in confusion.
“I can never forget that firm and challenging eyes of yours. Beside, I have a photographic memory.” She tells the boy plainly.
Ryosuke nod. So that also explained of how much Alquirro could remembered when she was just 4 years old. He still confused though.
“You know, Rea never wanted to push you to do something you don’t want. She won’t pulling you with her and leave your parents. If you’re satisfied with them, than she’ll be more than happy. It’s not like she doesn’t want you, it’ just, she just wanted you to be happy. That’s all.” Alquirro caress his hair.
“Ka-chan… Tou-chan… “ Ryosuke mutter quietly as tears start forming on his eyes. “Rea…”
Slowly, Ryosuke can feel the older girl pull him into a soft embrace while caressing his back soothingly.
“It’s true that you have to choose between them. But that doesn’t mean you have to leave one, right ?” Ryosuke cry harder on her words. “Shh. You’re not well. Don’t think too much.” Alquirro try to comfort the sobbing boy.
After couple of min, Ryosuke finally stop crying.
Alquirro pull back as she asks, “Feeling better ?”
Ryosuke nod faintly.
“Now rest. It’s getting late anyway. I think you can spend the night here. I won’t tell your parents if you don’t feel like to.” She smiles and help the boy lay down.
“Maya. Is that your real name ?” Ryosuke ask once he’s settled.
Alquirro smile again and nod. “Since you knew, you may call me by that name.”
Ryosuke smile to her. And when she’s about to leave, he utters, “Arigatou, Maya.”
Alquirro pat his head softly. “Don’t worry about that. I promised someone that I will take care of you and I won’t fail this time.” Ryosuke smile warmly. “You can come here anytime you want. Now you knew, you can thought of this place your other home.”
Ryosuke thanked her once again and with that he drifted to slumber.
