I had gotten bored but so had Yuki, we had nothing to do yet we were feeling lazy to talk. I glanced around, there was no clock there.
"I am going out for a while" I told as I stood up from the chair, "Why?" Yuki asked. Did she seriously just ask, why?
"Time" I simply told, I didn't even want to say, 'Going to check the time'. It's rare for us to be this lazy; we would usually be playful and be doing random things, even roam around outside at night but not today, we were oddly lazy. Yuki just nodded in response and I left the room. As I stepped outside, the only thing I could see is darkness.
I blinked a few times; adjusting to the darkness. The only light that was coming was from the digital clock, it was just 11:56 pm… while it felt like we waited till 5am. It was insufferable to wait now. I sat on the couch. I should count how many wooden tiles are there in the walls. I did start counting it, from the tiles starting from the door, '1, 2, 3, 4, 5…' I started counting in my head. Bored so much, you end up counting tiles of your house. As I reached 20, someone grabbed me from my hand, I turned around lazily and as expected it was Yuki… she's happy and excited?
"Yunaaaa! Let's go now!" she exclaimed happily, go where? Aren't we in the house? Yuki sensing my daze state sighed and most likely wondering how I could be in such a daze like state. "The sisters! Remember?! Their official corpse now!" she said and my eyes widen. "Really?!" I exclaimed, finally. The heart beat would be gone- wait! The heart beat; we have to possess the body before the nurse comes to check it.
I grabbed Yuki's hand and dragged her there; she just let me drag her knowing that my aim was to possess the body before anyone notices that's it's now a dead body.
We finally reached the room; Yuki was the first one to go to the body now; that I think about it maybe vessel would be great. I went to the oldest one as planned. "In count of 3?" said Yuki and I nodded, a body with no soul is nothing but a mere corpse but a corpse with a soul that doesn't belong to it could at least be used for survival, the voice of Yuki as she reached the count 3 was faint in the background in the jumble of my thoughts but I did what I needed to.
I possessed the body, it felt weird and I subtly lost consciousness before regaining it again, my eyes were still closed and my head…oh gosh, it pained…it didn't stop, it felt like a car ran over it. My eyes snapped open; the pain in the head was getting unbearable. I heard it, my heart beat…it was there, beating rapidly as if I just went through a great shock… but the heart is not mine, it can never be. I managed look at Yuki…no, the body that she was possessing…despite the throbbing in my head, it still pained by a lot. Yuki seemed to be in the same state, she had managed to sit up but her hands were in the head, she was also in pain.
As the pain was getting more unbearable, the door slammed open and the nurse had rushed over to us, first to Yuki as she seemed to more in pain and for a kid? That pain might be a bit too much.
She also attended me and Yuki at the same time but a bit more focus on Yuki. After she had calmed down Yuki and helped the pain decrease she rushed to me. The pain in the head had decreased but the pain was still unbearable. The nurse helped the pain decrease as I calmed down even more.
The headache seemed to not be as painful as earlier for some reason. The nurse had left, most likely to inform the parents that their children are now awake…their children are dead, we aren't their children, it's like playing with their emotions and we are well aware about it…this feels wrong yet the only way for us to live the life we want because ghosts?
People see them as things that are blinded by rage, things that should be feared but we are just kids…we just need someone to lead the path…we never wanted this; we got the chance so we took it. What happens if a pure soul or souls that haven't hurt anyone and don't seek revenge possess a body? They aren't demonic beings that will harm the victim, right? But what happens? I rarely hear such cases, I doubt that even heard it.
As I lied down, the parents came. Their sleep was most likely ruined since it was probably around 12 or 1 am. I glanced at them, they seemed relieved and happy…can't blame them they just heard that their children are awake. The mother went to Yuki and the father came to me. I turned my head slightly. In his view the confusion seemed clear in my face but in my view, it was nothing but an act of mine. "Who are you...where I'm i?" I asked softly, the act of confusion was in my voice as well.
The father sighed a bit; he was most likely upset that his daughters can't remember anything about their past. He looked at me, his gaze soft. "My name is Okabe Isamu and I am your father" he said, his voice soft as if his talking to a wounded animal. "Take it slow for now, you will understand it slowly" I will and I know it but I nodded softly, the act was still on and will be till we fully recover. I glanced at Yuki, she also had the act on…she seemed completely clueless and innocent as the mother explained it softly to her. Guess this will be our life for now.
