When We’re No Longer Here - Chapter 22 - Trust That Lady
Rui stopped dead on her tracks at the sight in front of him. A familiar figure standing beside the bed where Ryosuke is lying on. There’s nothing wrong if she knew that it wasn’t her father standing there. Strangling Ryosuke who is struggling weakly with the remaining strength he had.
She was left paralyzed for a moment before she could move her body again. She quickly runs toward the men and try with all her might to release the hands from Ryosuke’s neck.
The man seemed like he’s surprised by the sudden appearance as he turns toward his attacker. “Rui…”
“Stop it please… Otou-san…” Tears already escaped her eyes as she whispers the words.
After a few min of fighting, Rui finally managed to release Ryosuke from the death grip. She smiles lightly as she saw the boy coughing while weakly touching his aching neck. At least he’s alive.
“Why did you stop me ?” The middle-aged man ask angrily.
“Why did you do that at the first place ?” Rui demanded back.
“You know it well Rui !” The man whispers angrily. “He’s the one who took away everything ! He killed Kite ! Your brother !”
“No !” Rui shake her head continuously. “You don’t understand ! Kite wouldn’t do that for that shallow reason ! And Ryosuke never killed him !”
“He is one of the cause !” Touyama hiss.
“But not the major one !” Rui almost shout in despair.
“He still the one who triggered Kite’s suicide !” Touyama push Rui back. “Can’t you understand ? He’s only a misfortune ! A hindrance ! He could only took away things from people around him ! If he was never there, his friends will still have their spotlights ! If he was never there, Kite will still be here with us ! If not for this damned kid !”
‘SLAP’
Touyama step back at the painful slap he received from his own daughter. “Rui…”
“You were wrong ! Ryosuke never did anything ! He never meant bad for anyone ! He must have suffered too, knowing that he might be the reasons for things you accussed him !” Rui exclaim between her cries.
“Rui… You…” Touyama muttered under his breath. He then turn to look at Ryosuke who was just watching the two of them fighting the whole time. He then marched toward the boy as he pulls out something from his pocket. “Because of you, my daughter dared to hit me !” As he points the thing at Ryosuke.
Rui widen her eyes at the realization of what his father is doing. Marching toward the man in hope she won’t be too late, she screams.
“STOP THAT !!”
******************************************************************************************************************
“Ryosuke-kun ? Ryosuke-kun ?”
Ryosuke slowly open his eyes only to be hit by a wave pain all over his body.
“Ouch” Ryosuke hiss as he moves his hand to his aching head. “Where am I ?”
“In your dream.”
Ryosuke stare at the familiar smile.
“Kite-kun ?” He calls out.
Kite nod at the call, but soon, his smile turned into a bitter one. “Gomen ne, for what my father did to you. He was so cruel for saying those words. But he’s actually a kind man.”
Ryosuke say anything as the silence bound them.
“Say, Kite-kun.”
“Hm ?” The other boy tilt his head to the side.
“When you asked for my help. It wasn’t actually for the reason of your death ne ?”
Kite just keep on smiling.
“It was actually to tell your father, that no matter what the reason was, you never blamed him for everything. And no one else.”
Kite just smile more as he stares into Ryosuke’s eyes gently.
“I have no regrets, Ryosuke-kun. I did a mistake, and I accept that. But someone in your world couldn’t, and it bound me here. I couldn’t go back, nor can I move forward. And though it’s hard for me to leave, I know I can’t stay. I don’t belong here anymore.”
Ryosuke stare back at those orbs sadly.
“I’m sorry. If only I knew sooner.”
“It’s no one’s fault, Ryosuke-kun. I told you that.” The other boy smile warmly.
Ryosuke return the smile just as warm.
“I promise you, I will make him understand.”
Kite just smile wider.
“Arigatou, Ryosuke-kun.”
******************************************************************************************************************
“Ryosuke !”
Ryosuke gasps at the sudden cold surrounding him. He looks around and saw those worried faces around him.
“M-minna…” He calls out weakly as he tries to sit up.
“Careful.” Daiki help him gently.
“What happened ?” He looks around the room and realizing that he’s in a hospital bed.
The other boys glances at each other before Yabu finally sigh and move closer to sit beside him.
“When we were at Johnny-san’s office, you suddenlt fainted, remember ?” The oldest boy started.
Ryosuke frown before he nods.
“We brought you to the hospital, but unfortunately, we brought you to where Touyama-san worked and he…” Yabu pause as he takes a big gulp. “He almost killed you. And it was our fault.”
Memories rushing back to him. He remembered waking up feeling the air were sucked from his lungs. With those strong arms wrapped around his neck, strangling him. And the moment Rui came and saved him. The time they were bickering because of him. When Rui hitted the man. And then when the man rushed toward him, pointing a sharp thing on him. And how he felt the pain on his stomach…
Subconsciously, his hand find it’s way toward his stomach, but strangely, he felt nothing at all.
“Why ?” He frowns. “I remembered him stabbing me here.”
The others watched him in confusion.
“He stabbed you ?” Yabu ask back.
“Yes. Here.” Ryosuke point as his stomach. “I remembered feeling the pain before everything turned black.”
“But… It’s impossible !”Yabu is hesitant at this. “I mean, you’ve got no scar ! And Rui-san told us that he managed to shoved her father before he did anything to you and knocked him down as well. But you were already unconscious.”
“But…” Ryosuke frown as he rethinks about it all. “Maybe I was wrong…”
“Or maybe I just always had a guardian guarding me.”
