What is this dream?!!!

Nakamura Kenji's Point Of View:

"I've always had a dream. It is so close, yet so far." I looked at Tsubomi-san. Today, my dream came true which I have been imagining all these years. I kissed her.

"Hey, Nakamura. Are you listening?" Shoyo asked me.

"Yeah, what happened?" I came back to reality.

"Take the base ball bats and help us carry back Tsubomi-san." He said.

"Let's go." I said.

I took the bats to the car and came back. We tied up Tsubomi-san perfectly so that she even couldn't make any sound or movement. But I felt sad while doing this.

After that, we secretly took Tsubomi-san and put her in the jeep safely. I got on the driving sit and started to drive. But I am starting to remember the old memories of me and Tsubomi-san.

Six years ago:

I, Tsubomi-san and Shoyo were playing in the park. We were all kids then. We went everywhere together. Shoyo and I were best buddies. It was hard to separate us. Shoyo had transferred here a few months ago. He always seemed sad. He always sat on the swing lonely and watched us play. After his mom and dad died in an incident, he was transferred here with his elder sister. I heard that Shoyo's parent's body could not be found after that incident.

One day Tsubomi-san went to Shoyo.

"Hey, why are you sitting here alone? Let's play together." She said. She didn't wait for his answer and pulled his hands and started to play. This didn't make Shoyo forget the sadness fully, but he started to enjoy the time with us. Him and I became best buddies.

When I was playing with them, I felt that something was weird with Tsubomi-san. She was kind of different. I thought that she had fallen for Shoyo. But it took me a long time to get that she actually had a crush on me.

After a few months:

While Tsubomi-san and I was playing, Shoyo came very late. He had a very sad face.

"What happened?" we both asked.

"I am going to get transferred from here." He said.

"What! But you came only nine months ago." We were shocked.

"I'll miss you guys very much. I'm sorry I have to go." He said and run off. I could see tears running down from his eyes. We couldn't stop him.

A few days after that, Tsubomi-senpai also transferred to Tokyo for her father. I was left alone.

In middle-high, Tsubomi-san came back again. She became very much prettier than before but I felt that a distance grew up between us. Later, I found out that she was just being embarrassed to be around me because she was in love with me. But knowing with her all these years made me also fall in love with her.

In my second year at middle-high, I met a girl, who was really nice. Her name was Suzuki Mamoru. She always gave me the ideas to get close to Tsubomi-senpai. I started calling Tsubomi-san, Tsubomi-senpai after she returned. I joined the science according to Mamoru-san's advice. Tsubomi-senpai was the club prez. Our relation got deep after I joined the club. But she didn't know that I loved her. I was too embarrassed to confess. The same was for her.

Suddenly on the first day of high school, I saw Shoyo beside the shoe box of the school. I was surprised to see that. I waved my hands when he looked but he didn't react. He thought that I waved at another person. It was like as if he had forgotten about me. But we were best buddies, he possibly couldn't forget me. So, I started to have doubts if he really was Shoyo.

At the introductions of the first day, I became sure that he was Shoyo. I tried some attempts but they didn't work. He couldn't recognize me. So, I thought to make friendship with him from the beginning. But why did he only remember Tsubomi-senpai but not me?

Present day:

Today, I kissed Tsubomi-senpai. Maybe I can put it that way but it wasn't a kiss actually. I had to feed her that way. But somehow, I felt relaxed.

There was one thing that shocked me.

Mamoru-san has a crush on Shoyo. It's just so sudden. She just met him a few days ago. She is also not a person who would fall for a person just because of his looks.

Suzuki Mamoru's Point of View:

Phew, it's a relief that Kageyama-kun didn't kiss Tsubomi-chan. Nakamura-kun would feel very bad. But when he tried to do it, I was flustered. I don't know what's going on with me these days. Maybe it's because of that day.

Two weeks ago:

I was helping my granny to give some goods to a relative. Those were heavy. When I was returning to home after giving those to the relatives, I saw a vending machine so I bought a juice. It was so good that I closed my eyes out of the good taste. I didn't notice one thing. A car lost its control and was about to crush on me. That's when I opened my eyes. I was scared to hell. Kageyama came running and saved me. I didn't know him then.

I was angry at him for touching my breasts. I was very grateful to him for saving my life. But there was a lot of places in my body where he could touch to save me. But I couldn't say him anything. When I looked up, he was across the road and I didn't see him after that. I was kind of sad. At least, I could thank him.

But at the first day of school, I was lucky to meet him in the class. But he couldn't remember me. When I talked to him, I felt that he different from the others. He was different from the people who call themselves 'friend' just for a show. But it felt like Kageyama-kun had an emptiness.

Later, I found out that he had been like this since his mom and dad died. I couldn't get him out of my mind. Maybe that's why I got frustrated when he tried to do mouth to mouth with Tsubomi-chan.

Kageyama Shoyo's Point of View:

Something very strange has been occurring to me since I saw Nakamura and Tsubomi-san kissing. I am getting some glimpses of fragments of memories.

I forgot to say that I had a little accident a few years ago. I don't remember how it happened. The doctor said that I had a car crash and hurt my head.

I couldn't remember some of the memories from my childhood. I was told by the doctor that I had been going through an amnesia. But I remembered my mom and dad and my sis also. So, it was hard to believe that I had an amnesia. But Rumia-nee took care of me very much. She said that, "I have lost mom and dad. But I can't lose you. If I lose you, I will have no choice but to die."

That inspired me a lot to stay alive even though I was feeling as if there was a big hole in my mind somewhere. This feeling started after I had the accident.

I was felling headache while getting the glimpses. So, after we got on the car, I fell asleep and saw a very weird dream.

The dream was like-

There were three children playing in a playground. Wait! I know these children, they are Nakamura, Tsubomi-san and me. Why are we playing in a playground together?

I saw that I was enjoying my time with them. Suddenly everything around me became dark except those two friends of mine. They were saying, "Don't go! Don't leave us!" No matter how hard they were trying, they couldn't get near me.

Everything became dark again. There was no sound and light for a few moments.

"Why did you leave us? Why??" a very terrific voice came from behind. They were Nakamura and Tsubomi-san. They were constantly saying, "Why did you leave us? Why did you leave us?"

"Shut up! Shut up! AHhh" I cried out with closing my eyes and covering my eyes with my hands. Everything stopped. I felt scared.

Suddenly a light turned on just above my face. I was lying in a bed. This kind of light was used in the surgical rooms for surgery. A man appeared beside my bed and a little bit beside the man, there was a woman who was crying. They looked a lot like my parents. But my parents never even wore safety glasses and apron like a doctor. My mom was a housewife and my dad was a business man. This made me think the two persons beside me are not my parents.

"Do not cry, Sakura. I am doing this for Shoyo's sake." The man told the woman. She kept crying. But I became surprised the most because my mom's name was also Sakura. So, are they really my parents?

"But what if the 'equix' doesn't work? It isn't perfectly ready yet." cried my mom.

"But we have no other choice. This is the only way to save our son from his hands. And try to believe me a little, I have been working on this serum for my whole life… Don't you worry. Our son will be fine. Even if we don't stay by his side, Rumia will always be by her side." My dad tried to console my mom but it didn't work. She kept crying.

I tried to speak up but I couldn't. My throat was as dry as wood. I wanted to talk to mom for one last time. All I felt was despair.

"I didn't know he would plan to do this so early. I didn't even get to complete the equix perfectly." He said as he pushed a very hot thing in the bone of my right hand. It was like syringe but it was connected to a tube of a very large machine.

"We'll just have to wait for a few minutes now to see if his body accepts the equix." Said my dad. Suddenly my whole body started to itch a lot and a burning sensation was flowing throw my body. I was shaking a lot.

"Oh! No! The body is rejecting the equix." He said looking at the monitor beside my bed which was warning that the patient body is rejecting the equix.

"My baby! He is only nine years old. He can't die." Cried my mom.

Suddenly an alarm started to ring, the whole room was becoming red simultaneously by the sound of the alarm.

"Sakura, we have to go. The alarm is ringing, he noticed us. Our son can't make it." Said my dad. Tears flowed from his eyes.

"My baby!!…No! let me go!!! No-" my dad pulled her up on his shoulder and got out of the room leaving me. They thought that I died. I was feeling nothing but despair.

I saw red signal on the monitor saying, "Body rejecting equix. Warning! Patient is going to die."

Suddenly a bulb which was on the ceiling blasted, so did every light in room. An electric shock wave occurred. And suddenly the red signal turned into green signal saying, "Congratulation, Equix implantation successful. The patient will be healthy after some rest." Then everything around me became dark.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wake up! Wake up! Kageyama-kun. Wake up!" I heard a voice. I opened my eyes and saw an extremely beautiful girl. It took me some time to get that she was no one other than Mamoru-san.

So, all that I saw now was a dream.

"What happened? Mamoru-san?" I asked because I saw that Mamoru-san had a tensed face.

"You were shaking, sweating and screaming in your sleep." Said Nakamura.

"Besides that, we came to a very interesting place you'd wanna see." He said.

I got up to see what was this place that would capture my interest.
