Last Book

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened? Were you born blind?" Eichi asked. Everyone started to protest against telling, but Sayuri said "If I tell you, then you won't look at me differently?" "Of course." Eichi said. "Right, Nagi, Kira?" Nagi said "Yea, I won't. Why would I?" Kira nodes in agreement. "Ok." Sayuri began to tell her story.

Syauri's POV

"I was the firstborn twin of a royal family. He was only 3 minuets later than I. Since I was the firstborn and I was a girl, I wasn't valued very much in my family or aloud to be the next ruler. Papa hated me for it. My mom was the only nice one to me, all the time. She had the prettiest blue eyes and blue hair to match. Papa was always whipping me and hating me for being a girl. My twin, Masiki, was forced to hate me in front of father, but he really did care for me. We were identical. We both have a form purple hair and a roundish face. The only thing that was different was our eye and hair color. My eyes and hair like a lavender and his eyes and hair were a heliotrope color. I loved him so much, and he loved me back with all of his heart. Masiki would sneak me out and let me see the stars and the moon. He would eat lunch with me and mama sometimes. He even slept with me when I was scared. He was so much taller than me, he could pass as my older brother. Since I came out first, I was frail, so my brother protected me as best as he could without getting in trouble. I was happy for first five years of my life, but one day, I was sitting at the table, smiling at my mother as she makes me dinner and brother was upstairs, doing his training. "Sayuri, you can stop now. Sayuri..." I vaguely hear. I continue, without a second thought. "My dad came home, drunk, with a knife. He screamed 'I'm going to kill it. I'm finaly going to KILL IT!! I've had just about enough of IT messing up our live andy son's studies in martial arts.' He ran at me, full force, with a crazed look in his eyes. I closed my eyes and I heard a squishing noise and a gasp, but I didn't feel the pain. When I opened my eyes, I saw mama with a knife in her heart. She lay lifeless on the floor, blood pooling out of her. Her eyes looked dead. I could do nothing about it. My dad looks at me and screams 'This was all your fault. She died because of you.' I sat there and cried." "Sayuri!! She won't stop shaking. Get me a blanket. She's having a panic attack." I barely heard this, I was lost in my memories. I still continued on. "My brother came down from his studies and saw this and was broiling. He couldn't stay silent any longer. 'You! You killed mama! She did nothing wrong, except love Sayuri. You sicko, messed up man!' He screamed and lead me up to his room because my room was the equivalent of a stable with hay as my bed. He ushered me into his room and told me to sit on his bed. He sat down next to me and started to cry. I gave him a big hug. He clung to me and I started to cry, too. We were about to turn 5 in two days. The next day was the day I was blinded. I woke up to find that my father strapped me to a table and taped my eyelids open. He had a sadistic look in his fiery, crimson eyes and it looked like his crimson hair was on fire. Then he had magnifying glasses placed over my eyes. It was noon and when the sun was over the glass, I was blinded and my eyes burned. "Syauri!! Stop. Its ok. Calm down. Your fine." I heard, but it didn't register in my head. I just kept taking. "He said he did this because my eyes looked too happy. He said 'You will never be happy, as long as you are in this house.' I started screaming bloody murder. I heard Masiki open the door and run outside to see me strapped to a table. I heard Masiki punched papa and kicked him. I hear a whosh and a snap and suddenly, I was free. I could only hear, and I couldn't see. 'Run away to cousin Cecil. He will take care of you. Here.' He pushed something into my hands. It was a bag and a cane. He said 'I love you.' And he kissed me, not in the brotherly way. Like in the lover way. He said 'Go! I will meet up with you later.' I ran and ran until I found my way to the smell of the ocean. I bumped into someone and asked 'Where is the ferry boat? Can you take me there? I'm blind.' I started to cry. 'Ok. Don't cry. I'll take you.' He took me to the dock and said goodbye. I waved I the direction of the voice. I curled up into a courner and cried all the way to the inland. It's been one month since I..." 'I am going to lose it. I need someone to hold me. I just need something I can hold onto and have faith that they won't leave me. I don't want to leave them. I want my friends. Please stay with me.'

During the flashback

Sayuri hung her head and clenched her pale dress as a streak of silver came down her face. Ittoki looked over and saw tears on her dress "Sayuri, what's wrong?" Everyone stops listening and looks at Sayuri. "Sayuri, you can stop now. Sayuri? Hey!" Tokiya and Natsuki said, with concern. She just continued on talking, like she didn't hear them. She started shaking violently and more tears were coming down her face. "Sayuri!! She won't stop shaking. Get me a blanket. She is having a panic attack." Masato informed. Syo and Ittoki ran around in a panic, trying to find a blanket to stop the shaking. Sayuri still continued on talking, like no one was there. Natsuki left as quick as he could to get a blanket. When he came back, Nagi and Eichi said "We have to go to a audition. So, Bye." HEAVENS zipped out the door as quick as they could. Syo said "Wimps. Well... this is pretty scary." "Syauri!! Stop. Its ok. Calm down. Your fine." Cecil screams, worried about her. "Little flower. Calm down." Ren said, scared out of his mind for her. Nanami was unable to move, she was so scared. She could only watch as Sayuri screamed, locked in her painful memories, thinking 'no child should ever have to go through this.'

After the flashback

When she stoped talking, Sayuri screamed. She kept screaming and weeping and shaking. She screamed at the top of her lungs, "MAMA! MASAKI! COME BACK!!! PLEASE!!!!!" She started to console herself. "Mama don't go near him. He has a knife. He will kill you. Mama, please come back. I'm so sad without you. Please come back from heaven." And "I don't want to leave, Masiki! Let me stay!! Don't push me away! Please stay with me. I love you, too." She fell into Cecil and grabbed his shirt tightly in her fists, crying into his shirt, still consoling herself. "Shhhh." It's ok. Your fine. We're hear for you. We won't let you go. We won't leave or push you away." Cecil petted her hair and tried to calm her down, but she was lost in her own grief. She kept crying and saying those names over and over again. Cecil picked her up and placed her onto the couch and set her down. Cecil sits at the edge of the couch, watching her shiver and bawl ino a pillow that she heald tight to her chest. Everyone else was sitting around waiting for it to stop.

After a couple of hours of nonstop crying, she sat up and said, with a slight smile "Cecil, Ren, Tokiya, Masato, Ittoki, Syo, Natsuki, Nanami. I'm sorry you had to see this. Do you hate me?" Ittoki smiled and said "Its ok. Don't worry about it." "We will always be here for you." Syo and Natsuki told her. "You don't have to do it alone, little flower." Ren said, with a smile. "You will never be left behind. We could never hate you." Tokiya and Masato said. "You are important to us. Don't ever forget it." Cecil says. "You are such a sweet girl. Thank you for coming here to us. No, we don't hate you. We love you like a little sister." Nanami told her. Nanami came up and gave her a hug. Sayuri spoke up and asked "Where is HEAVENS?" Cecil says "They had to leave for a audition." "More like run away from Sayuri's panic attack. Chickens." Syo said. "Was it that bad." She asked with blush on her cheeks and a small smile of embarrassment on her face. "No, it was nothing we couldn't handle." Ittoki said with a false grin. Syo agreed and said "Yea, no sweat." Tokiya, Natsuki, and Masato sweat dropped. They were the only ones who were running around like idiots when she was panicking. Sayuri laughed and said "Thanks for not leaving me. You are my family." "SAYURI!!!" A voice that she recognized screamed for her. Sayuri heard the pounding of footsteps on the carpet in the lobby. She knew who it was as soon as he screamed her name. "Sayuri, why are you crying again?" They couldn't hear him, he was too far to hear without really good ears. He finally came back to me. I'm so happy.
