In the hospital, Sasuke and his mum are talking when the Reverend Father entered.
"Good afternoon Father".
"Good afternoon son. Good afternoon Touka chan. How is your health?" He asked concerned about her.
She was his relative and he knew she had suffered some emotional issues in the past and how Sasuke meant the world to her.
"Good afternoon Father, not much better than before. Please can I talk to Sasuke for some minutes? There are some things I need to talk to him about first."
"No worries, call me if you need me, I'll be right outside" with that he turned and left the room.
"Mum, please continue. I'm listening."
"Well, Sasuke your life with me started with this letter" she brings out the letter from under the covers and handed it to him.
"What's in it mum?".
"One day I was driving out and saw some lovely flowers in the bush and I heard the cry of a baby. An accident had happened, and I saw you lying there, you were a part of that accident. I saw your little dog lying beside you, you had a letter in your hands, you clutched tightly to it. I looked around but there was no one else, how you got far from the site of the accident and with no injuries, it was a miracle. God had shined his face on me, I had no child so I took you home with your dog Prince" she said with a frail smile at Sasuke.
"Days later I heard in the news that a baby boy of a year and a month was missing in the bush during an accident. Your name, date of birth everything was mentioned. Your name was Ishida Sasuke, your twin sister's name was mentioned also, she looked pale. I knew she was not happy, physically and mentally, she looked sick, twins always feel connected and you weren't there. Yes, she was a child but children are sensitive too. She tried mentioning your name ".
"Oh, why didn't you take me back?".
"I'm sorry, I tried contacting them but it was useless".
"You could have gone to the police".
"They had moved, and I didn't know where they lived. So I took care of you as my child, it was an opportunity for me because after I married, we later found out that I was barren and my husband divorced me. So you were my hope, my love, my everything, a chance a better chance at life. I am so sorry Sasuke. I know I was selfish, please forgive me my son" she began crying again.
"Mother, please don't say so. Thank you for everything. I love you mother".
"I love you more my child".
"I love you most mum".
"When you meet her I would die peacefully knowing I've brought you two back together again. But I left some letters for both of you in my study room in the drawer. When you have seen her and feel the time is right to tell her, then you can read it together. Please go to school, you have to focus on your studies. I would be fine here".
"Mum please stop talking this way".
"We both know I don't have much time left. Please try and make my soul rest in peace and help me apologize to your family when you meet them. Live with your family and twin if you can".
"Mum I want to stay with you and no one else".
"I want you feeling complete like you've always wanted son, please you have to let go, don't for me, please. Go home, search your social media, look for her whichever way you can, please hurry don't stay here" she begged him.
"Okay, I'll try. I have to go now mum, let me see what I can get about her. I'm going home, I would see you, tomorrow mum".
"Thank you, son, find her."
"I love you mum".
"I love you too dear" she waved him goodbye as he left.
In school, the next two days, the Reverend Father who was in charge of the school arrived in his car with a teenage boy sitting in the front, at the passenger's seat with him.From a class window, a girl sees the boy in the Reverend Father's car and screamed, some girls rush over to her and look out the window and saw the boy."Look at that boy, he is handsome" the first girl spoke."Beautiful "."A boy isn't beautiful Kimura Mari. Well, he seems shy not to come out" she giggles as she looks at the boy."I have noticed you've been all too happy today Sakiko chan," Mari said to her trying to figure out why."That's true Sakiko, tell us, what's going on?" Noriko Harada asked pressuring her."Stop pestering her, she'll tell you later Harada"."Thanks, Reina," she said turning to face the girl who spoke last.
She gets back to class and sits, then their Homeroom teacher entered again."I have a new student with me, he transfered from another school here. Please come in" she said ushering him in.He walked into the class and greeted them, "Good morning everyone, I am Sasuke"."Good morning, what are your hobbies?" Mari shouted out.He simply smiled, while the teacher hushed her, "I didn't do anything wrong if you ask me". Just then, the Reverend Father entered the class, everyone gasps including Mari."He is not your classmate yet" as if getting their selves back, they all stood up to greet the Reverend Father. "Please sit everyone" they did and he continues addressing them."Today he would choose from the two classes, A or B which he would want to stay in, so till then children. Take care and study well. That would be all Mrs Hasegawa" he said and left the classroom".
"Nothing Sakiko" he walks past her and goes to sit down, he puts his head on his desk and cries, the talks to himself, "mum, I'm sorry, I found her, I couldn't bring her to see you. If I did on time perhaps perhaps... " he stops and looks up when he felt a hand on his shoulder."Sasuke, what are you saying?" She asked feeling concerned."Nothing, just talking to myself"."I'm here if you want to talk you know".He smiled weakly at her but didn't tell her, "Its okay Sakiko I'm fine".She nods her head but not believing him. During sports activities, they Sasuke and Sakiko move around the school."Hey Sasuke, why were you crying in the class a while ago?"."Nothing Sakiko had something in my eyes," he said looking away from her."You are a terrible liar you know right? Don't tell me nothing, Sasuke, I knew
When they closed, Sasuke and Sakiko waits close to the Reverend Father's car."Mari chan, Ayumi-chan, Reina, Sachi, Noriko, everyone, thank you so much and goodbye. See you on Monday" Sakiko waved her classmates bye with a smile on her face."Bye, do take care and be fine" they chorused as they left."You're loved, especially your classmates. It's nice"."We love ourselves honey. Hey Father Tanaka is coming".He press the button on his car key and the car unlocks, they open the doors and got in."Where is your house located at?".She tells him, "Wow, I never knew. I used to visit that place to see a friend. Who knew you were down the street"."Really? How come I never saw you?"."I don't know" he looks ahead, "Rest on my laps"."No, and why?" Father Tanaka smiles, "Why?"
As soon as she enters, she sees her siblings quickly sitting on the sofa."I'm home. Good afternoon Itachi, Itsumi"."Afternoon" they both replied her while laughing."... "She looks at them and knew something was obviously fishy."What's wrong with you guys?"."Who was that Sakiko? The guy that dropped you off just now" her elder sister asked her with a smile."Oh him? That's my friend"."Friend or boyfriend?" Her elder brother asked her."Friend Itachi, what's wrong in having a friend as a boy. Or a boy for a friend?" She asked her brother back."The one you embrace frequently! ""Oh come on Itachi"."Well nothing is wrong, but be careful my dear little sister"."I'm not little Itsumi. Gosh you guys, well he is a transfer student and he is lovely, he ma
"You've got him everywhere with you, not giving the rest of us a chance".Sakiko just stares at her with a blank expression that soon turned to a glare..."A chance to do what?" She asked Mari with a cold tone."To be with him. Give him a choice"."I am not forcing anyone to walk with me, it's their choice and it's his choice if he wants to or not. So since you are too concerned about his choice, why not ask him, here and now"."Fine, I will"."Good, better do" Sakiko said back and they both turned to look at Sasuke."Well, what are you waiting for?" Mari hesitated for some seconds before speaking up."Sasuke, who do you want to be with amongst all of us?" She asked feeling a bit shy."Speak up for yourself Mari, don't lump me in with you" Reina shouted at her."Sakiko or I? C
During the long break, Sasuke and Sakiko went to the library to read. Everywhere was silent and after some time, Sasuke raised his head and touched her hand that was on the table lightly."Should we read here every break?" Sasuke asked Sakiko as his eyes roamed about the library."No, I suggest after closure, an hour or thirty minutes, then the short break later, we come and revise what we read the previous day or whichever you choose"."Okay I go with you. After closing an hour, then the next day during the thirty minutes short break. Good idea, let's go and buy something to eat" he suggested."Okay" they pack the books and got up to leave."Ladies first" he said, gesturing for her to leave first and they both burst into a round of laughter and quickly left as they were disturbing others."Sasuke, do me a favour"."What is it Sakiko?"."T
Later, Ayumi comes back, "Ma the Student Council President asked me to go back to class"."What? Does he know someone is dying?"."Yes and he is coming".As soon as she finished her statement, the Student Council President walked in."Why did you send her back?" Mrs Hasegawa asked the tall slim handsome boy standing before her."She needs to get to the nurse's office first. Let me examine her" he said and walked up to Sasuke and touched Sakiko's forehead."She's burning up, let's hurry to the nurse's office at once" he got up and was about assisting Sasuke to carry Sakiko but he refused."No need, I can manage" Sasuke said and headed out leaving the Student Council President behind. Mrs Hasegawa hurries behind him.They get to the nurse's office and as they were about entering, they saw Miss Kaneki holding the d

I want to help you get back Sasuke."0_0“Get back Sasuke?” Mari repeated the question as though she did not just hear what Yuki had said or was it that she was trying to understand what the other girl had said?
CHAPTER 81At the end of the school day, the school's student council and the disciplinary committee couldn't find any useful clue as regarding the accident.Sasuke wasn't surprised and brushed it off. He had already prepared himself for the outcome but Sakiko's parents hadn't and they queried the school.Unfortunately where Sakiko had gotten injured was a blind spot. There were no cameras in that area. The perpetrators were skilled and careful. They planned this whole incident well.When Sasuke was shown the footage, al he saw from when he left Sakiko was a girl putting on a hoodie and brown shade with a tint of black, but from the way she bent her head, one would think it was black shades she wore and she walked away effortlessly.She got to another blind spot and that was the last they saw of her, later when they checked other footages connecting to the same hall, they saw several students passing there.It was truly and carefully planned
CHAPTER 80Back at the hospital, Sakiko filled Sasuke in on all that had transpired and they could both deduce that someone was out to get her."Sasuke, about that text you got earlier," she started, her eyes now on his face, watching to catch any slight change in expression but she didn't get any. Nevertheless, she continued. "Does it have anything to do with this?"His eyes remained fixed on hers, unmoving, not giving away any hint. After some seconds, he closed his eyes and when he opened them again, he stared down at her, his expression, now less cold and now filled with warmth."Nothing for you to worry about, love. It isn't." he lied and he knew from the questioning gaze she gave him, that she could tell he wasn't telling her the whole truth."Hmm, are you sure?"As soon as he opened his mouth to reply to her, the door pushed open. Itachi was standing right in the middle and Itsumi popped her head from underneath her brother's arm.
CHAPTER 79"I waited for you, why did you not come?" Sakiko said, breaking the silence. Her sudden question shocked him. Waited for you…? He was the one waiting for her.He pulled his head back and she did too, so both of them were staring into each other's eyes. "I got a message to meet you outside school, saying the P.E teacher sent for you," Sasuke informed her."What?!"The shock and confusion that appeared on her face next, made his brows knot. Her big round eyes shone with intricate with a glimmer of pain and confusion in them at the same time."Easy there," Sasuke said, his other hand patting her shoulder."No, I never said that," Sakiko started, then she lowered her eyes and almost immediately looked back up. "We agreed to meet by the staircase.""Then why weren't you there, like we agreed?" Sasuke asked, interjecting her sentence."I was coming to that. I received a message sent by you. It was you who told me to
CHAPTER 78"She is," Mr Ishida replied calmly."Then why didn't you say anything about that? Why didn't you call us as promised? Why didn't you inform us when we first arrived? Were you planning on telling us at all?"Itachi rained down his questions at their father. He had said he would call them when she woke up, but now he lied. He didn't do that."You never intended to tell us, right dad?" Itsumi questioned her father. Just like Itachi, she was not happy about the news herself, but then again, she partially understood him.The news was too much for them and that was why he sent them away to calm down and relax, especially because of Sasuke. He wasn't just about to allow them to start racing down here in the car, just because their sister was awake now, was he? No.He knew better. Rather he allowed them to return on their own, safely and calmly. He could afford another accident.His wife was the one who had told him not to as soon
CHAPTER 77Itachi and Itsumi took Sasuke to an eatery and bought him food to eat. They all took their seats in one of the three chairs with a table in the centre for customers to enjoy their meal."Sasuke, try and eat something. You look pale," Itachi said to Sasuke, watching him through his lashes."I do not have an appetite. I am sorry. I cannot eat when he is lying down in a hospital bed.""I know, but you have to try and take something. You heard the doctor, Sakiko would be awake in no time. You know she would be sad seeing you like this," Itsumi added.None of them would even have the appetite right now, knowing full well that their sister was not in a good condition, but amongst all of them, he looked weaker and pale.It wasn't long ago he fell sick and recovered from his ailment, his body wasn't still as strong as theirs and needed better nutrition not him starving himself."I am concerned about many things, Itsumi, Itachi. Tha
CHAPTER 76"I am sorry. I didn't want you to panic and cause your parents to worry so much before you all got here," he explained briefly, hoping they would accept it and not hold a grudge.Mrs Ishida took in a deep breath, her hands moving up and down her thighs as she directed her gaze to her husband, not too sure of what to expect.Noticing his wife's troubled look, he raised his hand up to dismiss the thought Sasuke was having. "No, we do not blame you for anything, son. Although, I would love to know how it all happened.""Well sir, we were to shower and meet each other at the staircase close to the changing room then go out to celebrate her victory for the sporting activities. I later got a message to wait for her outside the school building as our P.E sent for her. I did and by the time the wait was getting too long, I went in search for her, only to find out the P.E teacher never sent for her.""Someone is playing dirty. Who would do that?"
