Experiment 07

Chapter 8

Akihiko (POV)

My eyes opened wide, surprised to hear the boy speak for the first time while clinging on to me.

M-My name?! The first words I hear him say, are my name. What does this mean and why now of all times?!

" Yes, what is it ? I'm in a hurry little boy, so make it fast please."

The boy who resembled a doll in his outfit, tried to speak once more. However, this time only managed to let out a few words.

" I come... With..y-you. "

It seemed he did not want to leave my side. His body only just recovering from over exhaustion of magic.

" Fine. It's better than calling in one of the maids on their day off, and leaving you unsupervised in the meantime. " I said.

The angelic looking boy's ruby red eyes sparkled in enjoyment. He let go of the back of my suit, and tried to go on ahead of me, just before I stopped him short.

" And where do you think your going without a coat. Its the middle of fall so it gets quite cold. Now hurry on and grab a coat from the box I had received earlier. "

The boy turned around and ran to the box located in the classic Victorian era styled living room.

He glanced back a few times while running slowly making sure I wouldn't leave without him.

He reached down the big brown cardboard box and pulled out the long hooded horn buttoned wool coat. He slipped it on and ran back towards me, showing me he was ready to depart.

As we were heading out to the limousine that waited for us in front of the mansion, small fingers encased my hands.

I looked down to see the boy holding my hand, which in comparison was much bigger than the boys small, soft, cold white hands.

Unintentionally, I had let out a faint smile. How adorable. I thought.

We headed out of the colossal Victorian style mansion, and past the limousine door which was being held by a Chauffeur. The boy and I sat down in the limousine, his hands still entwined with mine. The car began moving and we continued our route to the company. I had placed the seatbelt on the child, and adjusted his coat.

The company wasn't far but it also wasn't close. Giving me just enough time to question the boy, considering he can speak enough for me to comprehend.

" Okay, let's go through this once again, however I would like to hear answers this time. " I said facing the boy, who looked at me emotionless.

" Where are your parents ? Your family must be worried sick about you. Also while your at it tell me your name, I don't fancy calling you boy. "

He tilted his head at me, displaying a confused look all over his face.

He opened his mouth slightly, closed it, likewise reopening it again.

" Family? Name? ....What is a ..family?"
The boy said, staring at me.

I opened my eyes in disbelief. Not being able to retain what I had just heard. I can't believe it,...no I won't believe it! I remained silent, turning all my attention to the boy that remained beside me, emotionless.
