Whats Different?

Chapter 5 Writing

Akira still did not answer.

Akira's uncle rushes in to save the day, not. "Akira won't speak because he can't speak. He hasn't said a word for about a year."

Every one gasps again.

"What do you mean?" Aya asks.

"I said it. Akira hasn't said a single word for about a year." Akira's uncle said.

Kou puts Akira down and looks at him right in the eyes. He asks, "Is this true Akira?"

All Akira can do is nod his head. "How did this happen?" asks Haruka. He stares at the Uncle.

"I don't know, the doctors don't know. Only Akira knows. And he won't say a thing obviously." He said.

"Akira why don't you speak?" cries Kengo.

"Anyways that is the main reason I brought you guys here." He in hales sharply. "I want you guys to see if you can either find out why Akira can't, or won't I should say, speak."

"Akira! Akira. Akira. What is wrong. Why won't you speak." Cries Kengo. He has tear flowing in boatloads down is face.

Akira justs stares at us with no emotion. "I have an idea. Uncle-san do you have any white boards and markers around here?"Aya asks.

"Yes and why?" He asks.

"Well since he won't speak he could write down the word for us. And we may find out what is wrong." She says.

Uncle runs to get a white board and marker.

A couple minutes later he returns with a good sized white board and a red marker. He hands them to Akira and says. "Will you please do this?"

Akira takes the marker and scribbles down two letters.

NO

"But you are already doing it." says Kou. As a devious smile creeps upon his face.

Akira scribles something else down. A longer word this time.

Maybe

"Yes, we ay have something going on now." Screamed Aya.

"Akira answer true fully and honestly now, why won't you speak?" Asked Haruka.

Akira doesn't move. the marker doesn't move and no words are written.

"Please give us an answer." Said Kou.

Akira writes one word on the board.
