Chapter 3 : " Walls Are The Worst "

" Hikaru-sensei where are we going ? "

At the moment Ayanokouji was sitting in the black coloured BMW M2 with which detective Miura arrived the scene . Ayanokouji was really intrigued with it as it was the first motor vehicle he saw in real life , instead of the pictures and illustrations he saw in the White Room .

Ms.Hikaru was looking very restless for some reason .  She was nervously biting her nails and her eyes were  constantly fidgeting  everywhere .

As his words appeared to not reach his instructor's ears , he once again repeated his question .

" Hikaru-Sensei where are we going ? "

" H-huh ? O-oh ? " She finally regained her senses and looked down on her lap guiltily .

She finally looked back at him and gave him a sad smile .

" I'm sorry Kiyotaka . "

Ayanokouji raised his eyebrows in confusion . In the back of his mind he already readied himself for the worst conclusions he could imagine .

' Why is she apologising ? Am I being sent back to White Room ? Or are they going to arrest me because of the number of  people I killed in the White Room ?  '

Even then , he still composed himself and looked at her straight in the eyes .

" For what ? "

" We are going to meet your father one last time . I know he is the last person you would want to meet right now , but he has some last words for you . "

Ayanokouji's curiosity level reached maximum as heard this answer . He looked outside the window and started observing the outside scenery while his head was filled with many questions .

" From what I can see , for some reason you are well respected among the police and the officials . Couldn't you reject his request then ? "

Hikaru Ayanokouji also looked outside the window with a far away look on her face , as if she was reminiscing something .

" I could have . My brain told me to cancel it . But for some reason , my heart couldn't . I want to meet the person I lov-more like I respect for the very last time .  "

Her face gained a panic expression as she realised that she nearly slipped up . But unfortunately for her , that was already caught on by the 16 year old who sent her a curious and scrutinizing gaze .

" Hikaru-sensei  , may I ask you a question ? "

" Y-yes ? "

She stuttered as she realised her fatal mistake .

" Last time , the officers called you Ms.Ayanokouji  , and now you were very close to say that you love that man . Are you her wife ? "

The woman realising that there is no point in hiding this anymore , looked down and nodded her head slowly at him .

" Say I already thought about it once , but never cared much for it later . I'm only curious about it  . Are you my real mother who gave birth to me  ? "

" Yeah " Her voice was so low that Ayanokouji nearly missed it because of the noise of the car speeding through the empty road .

Ayanokouji nodded at her and leaned on the window once again staring at the scenery with morbid curiosity .

" I'm sorry Kiyotaka . "

" For what ? "

" I never really helped you escape the White Room . It was because of me that you suffered for 16 years . If only I tried harder , you wouldn't have to live in misery for so long . It's all my fault .
