One long life~a K project fanfic [BOOK 1 FINISHED/ UNDER EDITING]

Chapter 17- Aftermath

Last time:

" I..I'm glad you are doing alright..."I said, smiling.
"Try to rest for a bit." Izumo said "Mikoto will come by in the afternoon to talk to you"
I nodded. As the family began to leave one by one, I started wondering.
Was this a right choice? Or the dreadful wrong one?
Well, it was certainly a right choice that I saved Tatara, but...
Why do I sense something uneasy here?

Now:

I laid in bed, staring up at the boring and blank hospital ceiling. Mikoto had came in this afternoon to talk to me, it was quite a serious talk I'd say.But, everything had worked out in the end.

The doctors came once again right before now, saying that i am doing good, but also my body is weakened by quite a bit, which worries me. I already have asthma, and doing a bit of exercise everyday helps me to one, keep my body in shape, and two, so I can be stronger and not as likely to have an asthma attack every so often.

It was nighttime again.Looking out the window, I saw the beautiful night sky of Shizume city. The night was like a heavy black curtain, draped over the sky. The milky speckles twirled and danced along in various patterns.

I shifted my attention to the silver disk in the sky and studied the silver glow of the moon. She smiled down at me with love so intense that it warmed my soul like a fireplace on a cold winter's night. But i won't ever forget, it was the same beautiful moon, that had witnessed the shooting.

We still don't know anything about the shooting, not yet. The rest of HOMRA was waiting for Tatara and I to get out of the hospital before searching for the shooter. Yata had texted me this afternoon after Mikoto left. He said that Tatara's camera had filmed the shooting, and that made things a lot more easier on me.

Retreating my attention, I peered over at the nightstand and taking my laptop. I punched in the password, as my desktop screen popped up. The background was a childhood photo of Mikoto, Reisi, and I. The photo was taken right before I went on the plane. I smiled to myself, before logging onto my email. After doing so, I saw a email that was sent to me from Reisi. Apparently, the shooting of Tatara and I had gotten the SCEPTER 4 into it, I know it was probably the rest of the boys, stirring up some problems even after Izumo had said that the search will begin after we get out of the hospital.

Sighing, I replied the email in a formal manner, saying that I will talk to the rest and keep them under control.

After this, my laptop went black screen, then, four boxes popped up, along with my face in one of them.Seeing this, I reached over and put on my headphones, connecting it to the laptop, before speaking.

"Hey you all" I said, smiling as three other male faces popped up. It was Eisuke, Akira, and Kiyoshi.Seeing me in a hospital suit again, Kiyoshi bursted into laughter.

"Hahaha!!!Kimiko!!!Are you officially living in the hospital now? Hahaha!!!" I sweatdropped at the green eye blond.

"Stop laughing Kiyoshi. I was shot" And after saying this, the room went quiet. Kiyosh immediately looked at me with worry and sympathy, along with Eisuke and Akira, looking at me with worry too. The silence was broken by the voice of Akira.

"That's it. No matter what you say anymore. We are coming to Shizume" He said, my eyes widened with surprise.

"No! Just no! All three of you need to stay out of this. My situation right now can't be helped by you three!"

"But at least when we were there, we are able to protect you!" Akira yelled back at me angrily, I froze. Akira was the calmest and nicest out of all of us. He always walk around with a slight smile and act so much like a gentleman. It was the first time I've ever seen him angry.

"What he saying is true." Eisuke butted in, pushing up his glasses. "If your ' family' can't keep you protected from harm, we'll step in."

"Eisuke it's not that. This was an accident, okay?" I said, tears welled up in my eyes.

"We all know that Kumiko, accidents happens, and we can't prevent them" Kiyoshi said. "But what we can do is lower the chance of you being harmed!" I closed my eyes, tears dripped down my cheek as I silently sobbed.

"You guys..."After a long silence between the screen and I, I finally choked out. "If this is what can keep you guys not worried, then come" Hearing this, all three of the males on the other side of the screen smiled.

"Alright then, we'll come by around next week, we just have to clean up and settle everything before we come back" I nodded in understanding, but suddenly, Akira turned serious.

"Kumi, we have news" I tilted my head.

"What is it?"

"It's Reiya."

Reiya Munakata. The younger sister of the current fourth and Blue king. My eyebrows knitted together. This young girl had always been a pain, she is so attached to my brother, even before I left. But thankfully, not long after I had left, Reiya had also been sent to another country to study.

"What about her?"I asked.

"She is coming back to Shizume around next week." I sighed, knowing one day this would come.

"Is that why all of you need to come back?" And one by one, they all nodded. I sighed.

"Kumiko, she could be a threat. To you.And your secret on the Slate."Eisuke said, I nodded.

"I understand. If the time where I do have to end her, I won't hesitate" I said.

The call continued for a few minutes, until they forced me to go to bed. I closed off the laptop and set it aside before resting my head on the pillow.

Reiya...

Slowly whispering the name to myself, I grinned in a sadistic way.

"You could've have been left out...but the you are looking to close...hehehe"

Small laughter filled the room,as consciousness drifted away.
