Kenta, the Runaway

Chapter Seven: Runaway

By KellyQ

After Lee and Suzie where adopted, life went on; but things where more silent than usual. My birthday was just a week ago. I got a new shirt and Digimon cards. Ryo taught me how to play and it was much funner than the Pokemon game. Hirokazu and I play a lot by our selves. Sometimes we all play against each other.

Now there are only Hirokazu, Ryo and I left. There has been new kids that are here for some time and get adopted. Mrs. Taylor is trying her best but I think she miss everyone that has been adopted. I sometimes wonder why she loves us so much.

I often look out the window and wonder how the others are doing. But at least I have Hirokazu by my side and that we have each other. Some times I felt very fortunate to have him around and I'm starting to think that we are more than that.

He's been the only one who understands me besides Mrs. Taylor. Sometimes I feel sorry for her, it must be hard and I know how she feels. It doesn't feel right not having all eight of us. I allways felt some sort of connection with them. I sometimes look at Hirokazu to see that he has pain in his eyes too. I look at Ryo sometimes to see he had no emotion in his eyes. Sometimes I wonder why he try's to hide it at all. There's no reason to hide, Hirokazu, Mrs. Taylor and I will try to help you any way we can. We are friends after all.

Sometimes I lay awake thinking how things would be if I where adopted. It must be fun and great if the others have been writing to us or calling us to check on us. I wonder sometimes what Hirokazu thinks of all this. I know that he's trying to make the best of it like everyone else.

The only thing I'm worried about is Hirokazu taken' away from me and I don't want that. I don't want him to be taken away from me or I might end up like Juri and Takato. Hirokazu is my friend and well ... I love him because he's the only one who understood me and cares. I know that I'll never be able to tell him ... what's the point if I'm just going to get rejected by saying how I feel.

I know what you are thinking and you might be right but I don't want to take that chance with the only friend I have. I'm not saying Ryo is not, he is; my feeling are just different that's all. It wasn't long though until Ryo got adopted and it was Hirokazu and I. There are other children but much older than us and sometimes I feel separated from them and drawing closer to Hirokazu as time goes on.

I know that I shouldn't get to close but I can't help it when he's the only thing I have right now.

"Kenta?"

I turned my head to see that Hirokazu was sitting up rubbing his eye.

"Come on Kenta, get back into bed."

I smiled walked up as he pulled the covers back and I claimed in. It wasn't long before I was warmed with our body heat.

**************

My body started shake as I curled up more into a ball. I opened my eyes to see a folded up piece of paper. I sat up took and unfolded it:

Dear Kenta;

I didn't have the heart to wake up and say good bye to you. So good-bye for now until we meet again and that I ... I love you. That's the reason I wanted to become your friend because I liked you from the start.

But now you don't want to see me again ever again .... bye.

I sat there looking at the letter for sometime when the door opened and Mrs. Taylor walks in and sits next to me with a sad look. I finally look up at her with blurry tearful eyes.

"Why ... now he'll never know I felt ... why does this emotion have to hurt?" I asked.

"Shhh," She whispers pulling me into an embarrass rocking me back and forth, "You'll see them again. I promise."

I just ignored her and closed my eyes letting the motion sooth me. Hirokazu .... why ... why did you let them take you away? Why couldn't let them say longer until I get parents. Who wants me anyways? I'm ugly and a dork.

Hang on Kazu-chan .... I'm going to find you! I'm not going to stick around here and wait until someone takes me away! We where meant to be together, just like Lee, Takato, and Ruki and Juri.

*****************

I waited until everyone was asleep when I snuck out the window with all my things I had in one bag and snuck off the property into the big city to find Hirokazu and tell him how I feel.

That's the real reason I ran away from the Orphanage in the fist place. Maybe I'll find out there and maybe Someone will be willing to let me in and stay but that's remains to be seen.

I continued on walking knowing that I'll have to find somewhere to shelter me until morning and that's when I'll search for him and maybe the others too. That's another thing that remains to be seen.
