Home

Your friendship with Nao was kind of okay since you started talking yesterday but you still decided to tell her that today you were going to your home. Of course you both clicked right away but you still refrain to tell 'everything' about you. She asked if she could join but you declined as you had to solve some 'family matters' with your parents.

While on train you started to think about your life events. How you always wanted to know more about your own clan, growing up and using more of your jujutsu techniques, how in high school you met Satoru, Riko's death, your aunt's and uncle's accident and their death and then watching Satoru almost going insane. From you remembered you were quite lost after loosing your aunt and uncle, you were just walking not knowing where you were going. That's when you saw him floating in air and laughing like a maniac. It was something you called 'out of pocket', you thought of watching him but then you focused on his blood stained shirt and a well built man, you figured that they were fighting, knowing that the reason behind your aunt's and uncle's death was a curse, you just ran away. After few days you got the news of Riko's death. It was all nerve wrecking.

Then you started to think about your dream. It was so real, too real. Why? Your mother's terrified eyes was something you could not just get it out of your mind. It was something you never saw in your mother's eyes. The fear. You were lost in your thoughts when you realized that it was your hometown station. You got off the train and took taxi directly for you home.

When you reached your home it was almost evening, you were about to ring the bell when all of a sudden someone opened the door, it was your brother. He was shocked to see you, but then he started smiling and jumped to hug. You hugged him back and he took you inside. Your parents were in the living room and when they saw you they ''tried'' to look surprised. You immediately got the feeling that they knew. They knew that you were going to visit them. You looked at them, your father seemed fine but your mother looked a little bit sick, so you asked if she was okay and she replied,
''Yes honey, I am okay just a little bit tired, I wasn't able to sleep last night.''

''Oh. Okay. If you say so.'' You replied.

''Stop worrying about me and go to your room, come down after you are freshen up, we will have dinner together.'' She said to you.

You just simply nodded and decided to go to your room. The more you thought about your dream the more you saw the resemblance of that look in her eyes. That fear. It was not okay. All this change and everything. Nothing was okay. You wanted to make things right. So you decided to discuss about your dream you had last night to Satoru. But now you needed to take rest. You missed everything about home, minus the strange behavior of your parents.

The moment you lied down to take some rest, it all started to crashing down on you. Every single thing. You were on verge of breaking down when you heard something crashing down downstairs. You ran to see what happened and saw your mother on her knees, her hands on her head and crying, you ran to help her the moment you touched her she said

''It's okay honey, I am just tired.'' She tired to reassure you that she was fine but you knew she was not.

''Mom I know you are not fine, anyone can tell it. You look paler than usual, your eyes are screaming that you had not slept in days, you look exhausted. What is happening mom. Please tell me. I know something is wrong but no one is telling me anything.'' You said now clearly frustrated.

''Everything is fine honey, I am just tired.'' She said smiling trying to cover her tears forming in the corners of her eyes and failing miserably. You did not said anything coz you knew asking her is not only on vain but also it was all just stressing her up more. The question was why your mother was the only one to be so tired and terrified? Why not your brother or your father? Why just her? Your brother and father always act like everything is fine. Well for them every thing IS fine. Your father was way too relaxed for all this.

You helped you mother to get up and told her to sit down on the chair and checked for any injury. You were worried about her. You asked her again if everything was fine to which she said

''Yes honey, I am fine do not worry about me.'' After few seconds of silence she again said '' I had a dream last night, it felt real, you visited us just like today surprising us but you were not safe, I saw you getting killed in front of me and I was not able to do anything. Listen to me in Tokyo there are many Jujutsu sorcerers find the strongest one, the one who can help you train to protect yourself. You do not have time. And do not let any soul know about your powers until they earn your trust. Please-'' She was saying it all in such an urgency at first you did not understood anything but when she suddenly stopped you just knew your father was home with your brother. They went for ice cream since your brother really wanted it.

You got this feeling, that after this visit is going to be the last peaceful visit with your family so you decided to act like everything was fine. Nothing was bothering you. You decided to ignore what you actually feel. You were good at this, ignoring your feelings. You have been doing this since you saw him.

When your father saw broken pieces of dish he asked what happened almost worried. Almost. Before your mother could say anything you chipped in and said

''It slipped from mom's hands, she is kind of sick too and is in dire need of rest and sleep. How about we have dinner early tonight and call it a day since I am tired too and I have to leave tomorrow early in morning.'' To which your father agreed but your brother was sad, he wanted to spend more time with you and now he could not. You looked at your brother and got this overwhelming feeling of protecting him. He was too young for all this. You had to do something. You have to train yourself. Not for yourself but for your family.

Dinner was quite, quick and awkward. Everyone was just silence, you occasionally peeked at your mother , brother and father and all were way too focused on their food. After having dinner and helping your mom to do the dishes you decided to head up to your room.

You laid down on your bed and started to think about the things that have been happening. What in the world is happening and why? Everything is too confusing. Nothing makes sense. Why is it happening? And that too all of a sudden. Everything was happening so fast and with such a mess that nothing made sense but at some point it did made sense and it all was happening. Think about everything made you exhausted more than you thought and since you had travelled so much you were tired so you started to seep into a dreamless sleep still wondering what does the future gonna look like.

There are different kind of voices, every voice have it's own sound, some voices are quite and some are loud, some are close and some are far away. Some voices are screams but nobody can hear it no matter how hard you try it does not comes out. A silent cry. So silent yet so loud. So quite that nobody hears it but it made you deaf. But the question is will he be ever able to hear it?
