fear

" t-tsukasa ? what are you doing here ...? " I asked in utter shock , but the reaction was not what I was suspecting . 'tsukasa' started whimpering , covering his face with his hands , his eyes widened . Akane rushed to the bed and tried to calm him down . I backed away , in confusion . that... wasn't tsukasa . Akane directed me out of the room once the boy calmed down . Closing the door , Akane turned to me ,

" what do you need ? "
" who was that.. "

" amane yugi . "

" o-oh .. i'm sorry i mistaken him for someone el- "
" i can see why "

" huh ? "
" tsukasa , was that the name ? "

" yes.. "

" well , tsukasa was amane's brother . "

" was... ? what happened "

" he died . Amane is in this hospital suffering from PTSD from past experiences with his brother . any memories brought back or reminds him of his brother , triggers it "

" oh ... "

" was that what you wanted to see me for ? "
" oh ! no , i was going to ask what room kou minamoto was in ? "

" ah yes , he's in the H wing , room H78 "

" thank you ! "

I turned and walked to room H78 , on the way there , I thought about the boy from earlier , Amane . I never knew Tsukasa had a brother . I wondered what Amane experienced that caused his severe anxiety .. Reaching the door of Kou's room , I decided to visit him tomorrow .

The next day , I walked to school . Reaching the broadcasting room , just as I was about to open the door . I pull back , hesitant . I was still traumatized from yesterday with Tsukasa . Why did he try and kill me and Kou ..? I thought about breaking off the contract with him , but I was scared . I turned and walked to class instead .

After school , I walked straight to the hospital . First visiting Kou . I sat at the side of his bed , he was asleep . I sighed , holding his hand . I whispered , " I'm so sorry... this is all my fault . "

" No it's not . "

I looked up and realized Kou was awake the whole time , so I jumped up and hugged him . He winced , I forgot he was still injured . I immediately let go ,

" ack , sorry .. are you ok ? Did I hurt you ? "

" i'm fine , thanks haruka "

After spending some time with Kou , I bid goodbye and left to go see the boy from yesterday . I knocked on the door , there was no reply . I open it and see the boy sitting on the edge of the window , this was the 4th story and if he fell he would either get seriously injured or die . I rushed to get him down but he smacked my hand away . My eyes widened as he turned to me and looked at me , he definitely looks a lot like Tsukasa but just by looking at his eyes , I can see the difference . He had a more... soft and gentle look in his eyes , looking closely you can see fear . I looked at the footboard of his hospital bed , labeled "Amane Yugi ; Age: 14" . I didn't realize he was so young..

" hi amane , what are you doing at the window ? "
" how do you know tsukasa "

" excuse me ? "

His voice was so quiet , I didn't hear him the first time . " how do you know tsukasa " he asked louder ,

" he uh... well- "

" you can see him too ?! "

Amane looked up at me with wide eyes , full of fear and shock . I didn't fully understand what he meant by "see" .

" he's dead right ..? i- well , I can see him yes . you could too ? "

Amane started trembling slightly , " I'm scared " he cried in a soft voice . My heart shattered right then and there , what happened to cause him to be so scared even after Tsukasa was dead ? Amane grips onto the curtains of the window , looking out . " I don't want to stay here . Be trapped with him.. "

" What about your parents ? " I asked , surely he had parents or some sort of guardian that looked after him .

" They're dead . He killed them ... " He broke down crying , hugging himself .

" W-who killed them ? "

He kept quiet , and didn't say a word . Without thinking , I hugged him . Amane cried into my shoulder , hugging me back tightly . What did Tsukasa do when he was alive... ?
