It Started With A Kiss

Chapter 22: Innocence vs Reality

A/n: Listen to the song, this will really give you the feels. Sorry if the plot's going too fast.

--------------------------

"A psychic..?" I barely said it. Looking him deeply into his crimson eyes, "I don't understand-"

"Hiyori, how is it that you even know yourself?" He said in a low voice, "If you must know, psychics can be connected easily to humans. But like I said before, you are not human."

He slowly stated his last sentence. If he said that I'm not human, then what am I?

"Do you really think I was lying to you the whole time? Even though we just met, I can sensed that you want to know your past before it was erased."

I lowered my eyes and beginning to tremble with fear, not because of his words but his eyes really scared me the most. Its like he reading my inner thoughts. Even if my memory was a blank at first but when I first saw him, he was like him.

Why couldn't I see him again? At least for one more time...

Just looking at Anon really made me desperate but why can't I just go with it?

The atmosphere was deadly quiet. All I ever hear was the sound of the air sending chills down my spine. My stomach's been acting weird lately like I'm getting dizzy all of a sudden.

What is it that he knows about me? Can he really tell?

He closed his eyes for a second and slowly lifts them up, "Do you want me to show you?" He asked, wearing a gentle smile on his face.

Silence.

Am I too innocent to even face this?

I carefully thought about on what am I going to say. Would it be a yes or a no? If yes, then I will see on what happened but, on the other hand, if things go wrong, will I regret or accept my decision?

What is it going to be?

......

I stared at the ground, choosing wisely on my decision. If I really want to remember, there's no turning back now. I tightened my grip on my skirt while Anon waiting patiently. "How can I trust you?" I hesitated, trying to find proof if he's telling the truth.

He smirked. "You don't have to decide right away. You can think about it." He calmly stated, "There are no right or wrong answers. Take your time and if what you see, I will show you base on what I know."

I really want to know it now but judging on what he just said, what if my decision I chose will be a mistake I can't change? So many thoughts are swirling in my head. I'm starting to get dizzy on thinking. "You sure you know everything?"

He nodded.

I let go of the grip on my skirt and took a deep breath, "Although.." He interrupted before I could say anything,"....I can't guarantee that you will face on what am I about to show you. Like I said, you have to think about it. My memory is like a maze. Think of it as if it's like a puzzle piece that are scattered all over."

Now I'm unsure of what to do. But without a dull moment, I sprinted out of the door without looking back.

I wasn't sure of where I was going. I was so confused. So scared. What if my decision will go wrong? It just scared the hell outta me. Even though I live in a normal life but when those two appeared out of nowhere, my memory became frizzy and so does those dreams that usually clouded out inside of me. Like someone placed them there. It was pretty creepy. But I want to calm things down before I choose.

Somehow, I stopped walking, catching my breath for a few minutes. As I glanced up, I noticed a small playground. It was a bit messy because sand was scattered and dirty as well, mostly on the chains of the swings, the slide and also the seesaw. I walked to a bench, that was near the merry-go-round. I watched the kids play happily.

There's so much that I want to know, so many to ask. I always thought of how it feels to be normal it doesn't look like it is. I find it really weird. It's not before they came. But when Fujisaki showed up, it felt different. I forgot of what was I thinking when he's there.

But now because of those, I have to make a choice.

"You don't have to decide right now... Think about it."

Anon's words never stops repeating inside my head. It made me even harder to decide.

Are you doing this for yourself? Are you trying to forgive or forget?

Are you going to do the same mistake again?

I felt tears flowing on my cheeks. I couldn't control them. My heart was trembling into confusion, fear, and also afraid. Afraid that I might change myself.

I bit my lower lip, holding back but I couldn't. It was too much, the enduring of my heart feels as if it was slowly dripping. I don't why am I crying... I don't even know what's going to happen.

I wasn't ready. I thought I was to face him. But looking into his eyes, it was a deeper meaning. The very first time I saw him made time stopped around me. Everything was frozen. He was the one who wants me to figure out something that I lack. Something that I have to realize.

But what could be the reason why everything stopped but time lapses so quickly, I don't much time left....

What should I do?!?
