Mysterious Maiden

Chapter 9: Truth From Where We Started Part 1

"Mitsumi! Mitsumi! Wake up!!!" Micheal waking me up.
"What's wrong it is 9:00 in the morning, can't I have a peaceful sleep?!" I said bluntly while covering my face in case that he comes near my face again.
"I have news, You know Namiko, Namiko's back, she's here again, SHE'S BACK!!. I saw her by the shrine as I was coming to your house. MITSUMI!!!  Are you listening to me?" Micheal shouting out loud off a sudden.

My eyes grew big. My hearts starts beating fast. What's these all about, what the! I want to remove her from my memory but Micheal!!  Why do you kept on making me remember her. She's already gone!!

"Get up where going to see by the shrine, come on sleepy head!!" Micheal saying it while removing my blanket.
"Okay, okay, just go out and wait downstairs and call Minako to come too I bet she wants also to see her." I said giving Micheal an easy reaction.

I kept telling myself to forget that girl, but I can't because of these people surrounding me. How I am going to move on. If that guy will always insist to know that she is still here. One thing I know, that she is gone and she left. I wonder how far I am going to endure this thing. I went downstairs to check on Micheal and Minako.

"What take you so long?" Micheal said while hurriedly going out the house.

I look back to see Minako and ask her, " Are you coming or not?"

"Nii-san, Are you sure you are alright seeing her. I mean that I know its hard but..." Minako said with those weary eyes.
"I'll be alright, don't worry." I said to her while pulling her out the house.

I never saw Minako that worried so much about me. I guess my time of living here reached its satisfaction. I am also gone. That is I never told Micheal all about it. Minako is different from Micheal. Minako can see things that others can't and she knew what have happened to me, Micheal and Namiko. I stayed cause I want to know who I will entrust Minako with and what is beyond those blurry memory in my dreams. I want to know if that girl is Namiko? and Why did she never told me why she left before she died.

We we're walking going to the shrine where Micheal saw Namiko standing but when we reached the shrine nobody was there only leaves fallen from the trees. I guess Minako was't there at all then Micheal started to shout.

"NAMIKO!!! Are you still here?" Micheal shouted repeatedly.

As I am going to interrupt him a voice came out and " Micheal, you stupid, don't shout my name that loud." with giggles coming after. I was shocked to hear that voice. That voice, as Minako runs towards near the temple and hugs her so tight and telling her name,

"Namiko nee-san I am glad to see you again. What happened why did you came back?" Minako with tears nearly going to fall from her eyes.

"Ohh Minako, I am sorry I could not have told you I have to come for your brother, he still doesn't know why he is still here but I bet he have the idea but Micheal also." Namiko said to Minako while holding her back. 

"My dear Namiko where on earth have you been, and disappearing like that. Where have you been?" Micheal said while going near Namiko with arms wide open near to hug her but still Namiko walks towards me neglecting Micheal again as the old times. "You're mean Namiko." Micheal said.

"I am sorry Micheal, but I am in a hurry." She said while walking near me as she stands in front of me my heart started to beat as fast as it could. Her smile, My beloved Minako. Why? I could not make myself clear. I could not understand anything. Tell me now before it is going to be late again. Why Minako? Why have you come back now?

*"WHY HAVE YOU LEFT WITH OUT TELLING ME SOMETHING!" - Mitsumi*
