Chapter Twenty Three: Hello

“Hansuke get up he’s awake.” A woman turned on the lights and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“He’s awake?” He jumped up in nothing but his boxers.
“Yes. Go wake up Kayato and get dressed.” She smiled.
“Yes mam’.” He quickly ran around to his dresser frantically grabbing some clothes excitedly. Ace quickly got dressed and rushed to Kayato’s room. He flipped the light switch.
“Ugh.” The boy moaned.
“Get up! Get up!” Ace shook the boy.
“What is the house on fire?”
“No! He’s up!”
“He’s up?” Kayato shot up with a bright smile.
“Yeah get dressed.” He pushed Kayato off his bed. The boys met with the three girls at the door. Ace sped the car down the street with the pedal all the way down.
They ran down the hall of the new laboratory hall.
“I can’t believe how well they fixed it up.” Yuki jumped around.
“It’s been five years for heaven sake.” Kayato rolled his eyes.
“I can’t wait to see him!” Shiria smiled.
“Looks like everyone’s excited.” Tadashi stood beside a door.
“They shot up like rockets when I woke them up.” The woman laughed. She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“He’s still mute right now and he’s having a hard time moving around but he still has his memory intact.” Tadashi explained.
“He’s going to be so excited to see all of us!” Shiria cheered.
“He sure is.” The blonde woman replied. Tadashi led them in the door. A boy in his teens sat on a bed in sheets looking at the fake window. He seemed to be interested in something out it. But he turned and looked at them.
“Uh.” He gasped a little. His golden eyes wide. He rubbed his eyes and looked up again as if he didn’t believe what he saw. He saw three teenagers that use to be three little preteens he once knew. They all had matured and grown taller. He saw two more familiar faces with black hair. One in his twenties the other in his late forties or early fifties. He was shocked as a white haired girl hugged him.
“Ryouya!” She hugged him.
“Hey big brother! How are you?” A black haired girl smiled.
“He needs a haircut.” A smart elic boy with blue hair grinned.
“Yeah!” The young adult slugged his shoulder.
“Urgh.”
“Take it easy on him he’s very sensitive right now.
“Well that’s payback for busting my jaw up.” Ace grinned he then patted his younger brother’s head.
“Alright let your mother get to say hi to him.” Tadashi shooed the kids off him. They stepped away and let a blonde woman in. She smiled and sat down on the bed. She brushed a strand of red hair away from his face.
“Look how big you’ve gotten.” She smiled, “You’ve grown up so much it’s hard to believe it’s you.”
“Mu…” He tried to speak. His eyes in shock. He looked up at his father that had a small smile on his face. He then looked back at the woman then back at his dad before finally looking at her again.
“Yes I’m here.” She petted his head like a mother would to a child. He reached up with trembling hands and managed to hug her. He looked around and smiled at the others. He waved them over. He hugged the girls and invited them to sit next to him on the bed as well. He then looked at Kayato and Ace he patted Kayato on the head and shook hands with Ace.
“We brought something for you.” Shiria pulled out a white choker with a bell. Two chains on opposite sides and met the bell in the center of the collar. He smiled and took it. He placed it around his neck and fastened it.
“He should be ready to go home in a few days. But he’ll need to get use to talking again.” Tadashi spoke up.
“Well we can deal with that.” Airi petted him behind one of his ears.
“But his birthday is tomorrow.” Ace shook his head.
“Yeah.” Yuki hugged one of his arms. Shiria had his hand in hers. He looked back and forth from all of the people in the room.
“We can have the party in here.” Tadashi sighed.
“Alright!” Ace cheered. The others laughed and clapped.
“Hmph.” Ryouya sighed. He never had had a birthday before and couldn’t wait for it. He wasn’t sure he ever would’ve. He didn’t think they would’ve kept the choker he had given them as a small token of thanks. He wasn’t sure he’d ever see the light of day again. But here he was with all his loved ones and just being alive.
He wasn’t sure what else was to come but he was ready. He couldn’t wait to catch up with all them and learn more about all he knew of them. He hoped that they didn’t change too much but a little wouldn’t be too bad. He smiled as he heard each of them call him a name. Ryouya he would echo in his head. He had to get use to that name. But he couldn’t wait for tomorrow even if he had all he wanted right then and there with him...

Tiny petals fluttering,
Like tiny wings of a butterfly’s,
The light of day,
The lantern of night,
Falling like snowflakes,
The kiss of hope…

The tiny snowflakes,
Once cold,
Once alone,
Once a storm,
Now a ray of light,
Now with friends,
Friendly again...

Tick tock went the clock,
Now a world of color,
The wild wonder,
Grins again,
Tamed…

He prowls around,
Visiting his friends,
Maybe a little tea party,
Or a visit to the Queen’s Palace,
Or even a dance with Alice,
Cheshire Cat...
