When We’re No Longer Here - Chapter 12 - The Shadow Of The Past
“W-what did you said ?”
Ryosuke turn his head toward the other boy.
“Y-Yuto ?”
Both Ryosuke and Ryutaro were too deep in their own conversation, they didn’t realized that another boy had awakened from his sleep.
“Since when did you wake up ?” Ryutaro ask after heaving a deep sigh.
“Well…” Yuto trail off.
Ryosuke sigh. “Let’s just speak about this tomorrow, okay ? You must be really tired, taking care of me the past week.” He said guiltily.
“I think so.” Yuto form a small smile. “Look, Yama-chan, you don’t have to feel guilty or else. It wasn’t your fault anyway.”
Ryosuke smile back at him. “Arigatou.”
“Now, how are you feeling ?” Yuto ask the boy.
“I’m feeling so much better now. “ Answered the boy.
Ryutaro then butt in. “Okay, so let’s go back to sleep. We’ll talk about your dreams tomorrow morning.”
“Un.” The 2 boys nod.
After that, Ryutaro returned to his blanket on the floor and Yuto lay back on Daiki’s bed. As for Ryosuke, he just watch the other boys sleeping. Truthfully, he’s still feeling afraid of sleeping in the night.
“But I have to get over it after all.” He whispers sadly.
***************************************************************************************************************
“You sure you’re fine ?” Daiki ask the other boy worriedly. Last night, Ryosuke’s temperature was quite high, but this morning when he woke up, he found the boy already up while smiling happily toward him and stated that he’s totally fine.
“Un !” Ryosuke nod while smiling widely. “I’m feeling so much better now. Thanks to all of you !” He beams toward Daiki and the rest of JUMP.
Yabu place his hand on Ryosuke’s forehead. “Hmm. Your fever is gone indeed. But I don’t think you can go anywhere and do anything hard just yet. Your movement will still be limited inside this room. And the bathroom of course. We don’t want the fever to come back just because you move too much.”
Ryosuke pout. “But I’m bored !” He whines.
Yabu give him a scolding look, telling him that his decision is firm.
The boy pout more. “What about the living room ? At least I can stay there and watch something ne ?”
The oldest member of JUMP frown for some moments before nodding his head. “But ! You have to bring your blanket and wear a warm clothes. A jacket too if necessary.” He command the younger boy before the other can say anything.
“Mou~ It’s not like I’ll be going outside. I don’t need the jacket if I had the blanket already.” Ryosuke protest.
“I said ‘if’ necessary. If you feel colder, than the jacket will be within your reach to wear.” Yabu cross his arms sternly.
Ryosuke cross his arms as well. “Fine.”
The other boys can only watch in amusement.
“You know. The 2 of you really looked like a mother and a son.” Hikaru commented quietly.
Yabu is about to reply to Hikaru’s words when Ryosuke beat him.
“You know, I just realized, that all this time, I’ve been dreaming about the life that once happened under this roof.” Ryosuke mutter quietly while the other boys surrounding him.
“What ?” Hikaru exclaimed, startled by the sudden change of topic.
“Last night. Ryutaro told me what cause you to spent the night at my and Dai-chan’s room. And from his story, I remembered that I was saying ‘I finally remember’ last night. And yeah, I finally remember something that I couldn’t these past few nights. Finally, I remember what I’ve dreamt ever since we lived here.” Ryosuke explain in a whisper.
“Impossible.” Inoo cover his mouth in surprise.
“But how- ?” Yabu trail off.
“I don’t know. It just did.” Ryosuke shrug. “Kite-kun said that impossible things become possible inside your dreams.”
“Kite-kun ? You mean- ?” Inoo widen his eyes.
“Un.” Ryosuke nod. “He showed me his past inside my dreams. I know he’s no longer alive, but, I think it was his spirit or something.”
“You mean ghost ?” Takaki exclaim. Fear is evident in his face.
“Maybe.” Ryosuke shrug once again. “I’m not sure.”
“So what did you dreamt about ?” Daiki ask frowning after whacking Takaki’s head.
“Well,” Ryosuke frown. “As I told you, it was about the life that was once happened in this house. Or precisely, the life from Kite-kun’s eyes.”
No one dared to say anything as they wait for Ryosuke to continue his story.
“I can only tell you what I saw inside my dreams. It didn’t came out in time order, but I think I could figure out what happened there.” He looks at his friends intently. “Years ago, when Kite-kun was around 9 or 10, his mother died. And ever since, the usual warmth inside this house disappeared. I think, their father was so depressed by his wife’s death, so he took the violent side. Ever since that day, he seemed to blamed Kite-kun for the death of his wife and started abusing him.”
“Why ?” Keito ask frowning.
Ryosuke shrug. “I don’t know. Maybe because Kite-kun was the only one at house when that unfortunate event occurred. And somehow, Touyama-san thought that if only Kite-kun stopped his mother from going out that day, she wouldn’t die.” He paused for a bit. “He tried to tell Rui, his sister, about this. But his father threatened him that he’ll be killed if he did so. And I don’t know, but I feel like that he still believe that his father will stopped eventually.”
Yabu already cross his arms since Ryosuke started his story, and creases of frown plastered on his forehead. “What else did you know ?”
Ryosuke shake his head slowly. “Mostly, it was just about how Kite-kun’s father abused him.”
All of them fall into silence afterwards until Ryosuke break it.
“You know, last night, Kite-kun came and conversed with me in my dream. He asked my help, to unbound him from the darkness.”
“Ha ?” Hikaru ask dumbfoundedly.
“It’s just my instinct, but I think that there’s another reason why Kite-kun decided to end his life. I don’t think it was just because of his jealousy toward us. And, he wanted us to help him solve that.” Ryosuke said surely, but carefully.
The rest of them, sans Chinen, widen their eyes in surprise. They suddenly remembered what Rui told them at that first day they stayed at this house together.
‘Masa ka ?’ Daiki thought in surprise.
“I thought I’ll gain more clues after another series of dreams. But, “ Ryosuke put a sheepish smile. “I’m still afraid of those dreams. I don’t think I can deal with them for now.”
Yabu smile a comforting smile. “It’s okay. We’ll always stay by your side.”
“Arigatou.” Ryosuke make a tender smile.
“Hey ! Does none of you thought that this is creepy ?” Takaki stare at them in disbelief.
His simple sentence of fright is enough to silenced them all. After 5 more seconds, they break into a series of laughter.
“You’re not in your cool mode, ne, Bakaki ?” Daiki tease him.
“Urusai, you penguin !” Takaki yell at the younger boy while trying to hide his blush.
“Stop right there you two.” Yabu stand between the 2 of them. “Yama-chan had just been recovered, you shouldn’t start your cat-fight.”
“It’s okay, Yabu-kun. It’s fun to see them like that.” Ryosuke beam happily, feeling interested.
“See ? He doesn’t even mind, Yabu-kun !” Daiki smirk.
“But the rest of us do mind.” Yabu said firmly. “Now, it’s almost breakfast time and I’m in charge for the kitchen. When I’m finished making foods, I want you all ready at the diner table. Bathed, and clean-clothed. Understand ?” He commands sternly.
“Hai !” Chorused the 9 JUMP.
“Good. Ryutaro ! let’s get the breakfast ready.” And after that, Yabumama step out of the room with the slightly frightened Ryutaro tailing him.
“Truth to be told, I’d be more than willing to make some noise inside. If not for Yabumama.” Hikaru whisper playfully.
The rest of JUMP can’t help but giggling by Hikaru’s comment. Indeed, Yabumama can be very scary when he’s mad. So they can’t do anything but to comply with his words.
