Chapter 9 - Day 2.1 (imagination)

I'm back?

Enju tries lifting a finger but can't. Seems like she's in a hospital.

I have to go see pops, please move for me. Body...

She lifts one of her fingers, and then her hand and soon her arm. She feels her entire body calling back to the owner, but before she can stand up someone opens the door.

A doctor in full white lab coat, he looks at Enju who's sitting up. "Good morning Enju Kori. It's been four days since you woke up how do you feel?"

"A-a bit... tired... w-where is my father?"

"He's alive in the room next to us, he's alright but still recovering, however you... you're a special case, says here by the time ambulance reached you. Your wounds apparently already healed, along with your medical past it's a bit weird."

"My... medical record?"

"Ah yes you were a rushed child, mother would've died if we didn't, born weak. Then after seven years you had an aneurysm on your here neck." He taps the back of his neck.

"You survived which was a miracle but lost your memory during that which shouldn't make sense. It didn't affect your brain only the blood vessels to your neck."

"I've already heard of all of this so why tell me again?"

"Well because after this life threatening event you developed visual, olfactory, auditory, and tactile hallucinations. You started imagining a world of "magic" now did it happen again this time?"

"N-no. I just felt like I woke up after passing out."

"No dreams at all?" The doctor writes it down.

"N-not at all."

"Well if that's all to the story then I'll get a nurse to help you rehabilitate" the doctor leaves along with a locked door, leaving a blank piece of paper along with a clipboard behind.

Enju starts making paper balls and flicking them. Bored, real bored, wish I could use that bow some more. I don't even know how to go back though... and I don't even know if I'm alive back there...

Why do I even wanna go there, it's dangerous... hah this is like a break up I can't get over it, I wanna go back.

Along with helping Gly a family member, I believe this is good enough reason to send me back god! Although before that let me go check up on my dad only issue is... how ahhhhh how can they just lock me in here without nothing to do. Like manga or video games....

The door as if on command opens, "Thanks god!" Enju walks towards the open door, but there it stands the fluff of wall, Mr. Kori stands tall above Enju.

"Out of bed so early?"

"Well... I want to go see my father."

"Sit back down first you missed four days of class."

"B-but m-"

Mr kori pulls out his camera with a smile, stopping Enju from even saying a word.

Crazily Mr. Kori made Enju go through 4 hours about cameras and the settings on them. Enju's laying on the bed tired from sitting up.

"I want to go make more paper balls now, even that would be more entertaining than that whole lecture." She blows her hair from off her eyes. "About Monday evening you talked all sorts about magic and such. I wanna know more."

"Oh you mean magic tricks?"

"No no not magic tricks, I mean fantasy magic."

"Are you sure? All I talked about was illusions and magic tricks to cut down special effects cost. Are you sure that you didn't experience hallucinations? Your medical record would suggest that you did as I didn't say a word about that."

"Then.. I must've been hallucinating." I... I don't know anymore, I experienced it first hand... but it still goes against logic.

"Mr. Kori can I ask when was the last I saw of you? Before hallucinations took over?"

"In a cafe, you, me, and Lenn. After that you apparently went home and to the gas station."

"... I see, did you remember our talk about my dreams inside the cafe though?"

"How could I forget, you wanted to be a famous chef."

I get it now, the camera in the room is probably preventing him from talking about magic. Second he seems cautious, with every line he speaks not revealing anything about Monday. Along with him saying we last talked in the cafe even though I talked about becoming a chef in his classroom. I can probably assume either I'm being watched or he is. Now the question would be who, currently the doctor is my be guess.

God I'm so smart, maybe I should get a secondary job for some good old cash. Then I can live rich and happier along with pops and Gly. Maybe I could also pay people to look at my past and help me...

But how

"Well I change my dreams, to being a lawyer. Cash sounds great."

"Awfully quick change there, well if you want anymore help with special effects along with magic tricks I'm available." Mr. Kori is getting up, packing up his camera's and such.

"Oh and Lenn said hi. Along with a neat shots of a camera looking at a camera. I'll show you it tomorrow." He heads out with a wave and smile before the door behind him locking.

It's automatic, Enju grabs a piece of paper with ferociously. With the penmanship for a second grader she starts drawing. After twenty minutes of drawing she finishes with a little signature, that of which is complete trash. Nevertheless she tries finding a piece of tape. Together with her mediocre craftsmanship she applies the taped up piece of paper onto the camera with her neat drawing of Koro sensei on it.

Heh now they have to come in here and listen to what I ask. Soon a nurse walks in, quick paced. Quickly removing the paper on the camera.

"Please don't do that again." She gives off a respectful plea.

"But I'm boreddddd, at least give me some books or anything. Maybe even a gaming console." Enju does her best to look innocent. "Also it's a bit creepy how someone's alllllllways watching me, really creepy, is it you?"

"I'll... bring you a book immediately what would you like?" A respectful bow to go along with a monotone voice. Along with a short flowing blue puff of hair. She has on glasses, flat half rectangular green one's.

"Howwwww about assassination classroom all volumes?" Asking for a bit much but... it's so good.

"Don't have any."

"You didn't even check?"

"I have fire punch if you want."

"Fire... punch... sure? Never heard of it." With that the nurse's eyes seem to almost twinkle while leaving the room. Her respectful bow turned into a more casual walk.

Sure enough she comes back with multiple volumes of fire punch. She gives off a smile while delivering it.

"So when may I leave this room?" Instantly that smile disappears to a more professional face.

"After we've made sure there are no lasting wound and no psychological impact on your brain." She pulls out a clipboard, this time it has a bunch of blanks on it with what seems to be questions.

"Do I really have to? After just getting my hands on something entertaining?" With that the nurse pauses for a few seconds.

"Four hours, I'll be back." The nurse takes the clipboard with her and leaves. The door clicks, Enju now back to being left to her own devices.

Halfway through, nothing of what Enju expected really. It's a new experience for sure, she hears a scratching noise however.

Coming from the window, there hangs a long strand of hair. With hands the size of Enju's head scratching at the window. Enju's entire body stops from moving an inch. The elongated nails continue chipping and scratching at the window.

Just a hallucination, just a hallucination, jus-

The scratching continues, this time above her. Enju doesn't look up, her whole body can't. All she can do is look at the sickening frail and now bleeding fingers scratch, over and over again. A long mark is left on the window, throughout her body she feels her blood moving, and stabbing at her legs to move, her arms to defend, her head to look up, and her hands to punch. Ultimately it's a failed attempt, her brain and body can't think like a team. Everything, from the sweating to her shaky palms is getting attacked.

She finds herself dizzy, almost woozy. She finds her world collapsing, and falls down to see under the bed a head, staring back at her. Eyes gouged out with her mouth sewn shut with her hair. No emotion is shown.

At last Enju's heart feels the piercing blood stab at it. With that her vision blacks out.

Pa..pa... what's happening to me...

Enju wakes up to the same stab of blood at her heart. This time however she's inside a old warm room on a bed, not on the cold hard room of hospital bed. Enju feels her heart and chest for the wound. Surprisingly it feels like it's gone.

Fire.. punch... I just wanted to finish it...

Enju brings out her silver hair to confirm the body. It appears to barely be dawn. With the sun peeking it's golden hair from above the hills past the window. Enju feels her body, is... is this really me?

If it is then who am I and what happened, if it isn't then... who is this person and why am I in their body...

Enju claps her hand together. "Again so sorry for taking your body it was not on purpose let's be friends."

"MA! She's awake! More insane than yesterday!"

"I-"

Banny gives off a childish smile.

"Did.. she say yes?" Enju sits down upon her bed.

Banny gives off a nod and moves away from the doorway. There enters Banny's mom she looks even younger than yesterday. "Banny could I have a talk with her for a moment? This will be the final thing to confirm." Banny leaves with the door closing. His mother eyes Enju closely while standing tall above her.

"I can't really stop him now can I? No matter, could I tell you something about him. He's a great kid, took care of me while I was sick, but to have even starved himself while feeding me... could I ask something from you?" Pleas that Enju couldn't refuse.

"Y-you betcha."

"Show him the world, I feel like a burden to him and I want him to be independent from me. Feed him The whole world if you can. He's knowledgeable about this world and will do his best to help you so please." She gets entirely on the ground and Kowtows.

This... has never happened, ahhhhhh what do I do.

"I-it's alright I was already planning on doing that. B-but please thats a bit excessive." This is... I wanted to leave him behind... but I understand how she's feeling...

"I'll protect him while on our journey don't worry so please raise your head." The mother looks up.

"Along with that please show him magic, you don't need to teach him but if he ever fights a magician without knowing how to fight against one he..."

"Don't worry I'll show him and help him, he's... the same as me."

The day passes, short goodbyes are sent and soon they're off. On top of Gly's massive grown body, the size of a tall fern tree. With large enough wings to fly he soars.

Enju pulls out a map, where they're currently going right now.
