The Willow Tree

Touma?

TOUMA'S P.O.V

I can't believe it! I'm finally here! I'm actually back! But how? So many questions ran through my head as I tired to think. But I died how am I alive? I was in darkness not able to smell the fresh air or even talk. I was alone for years but now I'm back? It makes no since! I just woke up and crawled out of the ground. I was confused but when I saw I was under the willow tree I knew where I was. I felt a sadness but not my sadness someone else's. I felt like I need to follow the feeling so I did. I ended up finding Miiko and I was happy. And now I'm here hugging my little sister the person who got me through all those years of me being alive. The only thing that mattered to me I was finally able to see her after all this time.

Miiko's P.O.V

I have to be dreaming there's no way this is real....right? I'm hugging my dead brother. That's it! I'm still dreaming that's what this is! "Well I guess I'm going to wake up now! "It was nice you know umm hugging you this is a great dream but I don't want to dream this...it hurts to much so good bye dream Touma.." i pinch my arm and close my eyes tightly. I then open them to see Touma. "I-i-i want to wake up now.." I then piich myself harder but I can still see him. "I-i-i wha-what..." I step away not knowing what to do. "It's me Miiko...I'm back.." The boy who claims he's my brother smiled sweetly. "It can't be...I watched you die!" I yell feeling tears except my eyes. "It is me... I-i don't really know how I came back but I am.." he looks down as he runs his fingers through his hair. "B-b-but...how is this possible...I mean dead people can't come back....it's impossible!" I walk to him and poke his cheek. "You don't look like a zombie...but.." I put my head to his head. I gasp and move my arm quickly. "Yo-you're freezing!" He feels his head and looks at me. "I can't feel anything. Bu-but...I don't really feel good either so..." he walks to the wall and leans against it. I look at him my eyes softening as I walk to him. "So you are...indeed Touma?" He moves his head up and down. I sigh and hug him. "I've really missed you...but how did you know I was here?" He shrugs. "I'm not for sure I just felt a sadness and for some reason I needed to follow it...I also smelt you which is weird because you were really far away but I didn't just smell you I could smell everything far away I could smell different things I don't know how.." I thought to myself playing with the tips of my hair. Well he could be dead still....maybe he's an alien or an angel...I don't even know this is all confusing me. But he can't just stay here. "Touma we should go I don't want people to see you." I take his hand and start walking to the willow tree. I hope nobody sees us. I look around the corner of the building making sure it was clear. "Hey Miiko!" I jump at the voice and whip around. Touma doing the same. "M-mayu wh-What are you doing here? Its not time to go home yet!" She smiles and crosses her arms. "I could ask you the same thing! We're are you off to in such a hurry and with a boy?" She smiles sheepishly. Oh no what do I say I can't just be like 'Oh yeah this is my dead brother he got ran over when we were little and now his probably a zombie! But how's your day?' Now she's definitely going to think I'm weird. "Hi I'm Touma it's nice to meet you!" He puts his hand out so she could shake it. She does and smiles. "It's nice to meet you Touma! I don't think I've seen you here yet are you new?" He smiles nervously. "I guess you could say that..." Well I'm glad I didn't tell her I had a brother. "And the reason we're out of school is because Miiko was going to show me around! Right Miiko?" He eyes me. I look at Mayu and nod. "Y-Yep that's what's happening!" "Ohh ok. Well the reason I'm leaving is because my little brothers are sick and I have to go take care of them because my moms at work." Huh I didn't know she had any siblings well I did just meet her so I understand why I didn't know. "Oh well I hope you're brothers feel better. I'll see you tomorrow we really need to go." "Thanks! See you tomorrow Miiko, Touma." We all said are good byes. And me and Touma started heading to the tree. "So was she you're friend?" He asks walking next to me. "Oh..umm y-yeah well I mean I hope she considers me as a friend.." he smiles and stops walking. "I'm glad you found friends. And Miiko...I would like to go to school with you.." My eyes widen. "Wh-What you going to school?!With me?! But won't people suspect something I mean we do look alike..." He laughs and looks at me. "Trust me people are blind I mean you're friend didn't suspect anything well at first but she thought something else and we don't have to tell people that we're siblings." "We can't tell anyone we're related because people already think I'm a freak and if someone finds out you're my brother from the dead it's just going to be icing on the cake for people!" He pats my head. As he smiles brightly. "I'm here now Miiko if anyone dares to hurt you there be answering to me! And we won't tell anyone it will be are secret!" I nod and we start walking again. Well I'm happy I have my brother back i never thought I'd be able to walk by his side again but here I am walking by the person who saved my life so many years ago as we make are way to the only home we both ever knew.
