Chapter 14 : Under The Same Roof

*VOLUME 2*

"you sell their organs right?"- Riku asked.

Not just the manager but even Haruto was surprised. The manager's eyes widened.

"Wha!!"

Haruto came up to Riku.

"Riku?? What are y-"

"LMD only effects the lungs as the stop functioning, but there are no notable damage to other organs. And you might get a really good price selling the teens organs in the malrket right?"

The manager was furious. He shouted at once.

"That's ENOUGH! You have been running your mouth a lot! Do you have any proof?"

"Okay then, we'll just say to other people that you guys are selling organs. That's fine right?"

"If you spread lies like those then you'll surely end up with the cops"

"We are prepared to face that. Alright we'll take our lea-"

"Wait!!!"

"What is it?"

"I would like to resolve this misunderstanding.. please come here again tomorrow.."

"Oh are we getting some sort of gift?"

" I'll explain things in a way that you guys will understand.."

"We will come if we find the need to.."

"right here.. tomorrow.. I'll be waiting"

Riku and Haruto left out of the room.

"Riku! What the hell was that?? Organ transplant?"

"Sorry , I didn't tell you before. I just had this on my mind."

"But we really don't have any proof. Wha-"

"Relax. We'll figure it out. For now let's get back to Kakeru's room. I'm worried about him."

They entered Kakeru's room. Saki was already inside. She was surprised to see Haruto as for her it's the first time meeting her because she doesn't know about the time leap. Kakeru woke up as he saw everyone with him together. They went to Honaka's room. Haruto told them everything about what all happened except for the time leap thing.

" So you really don't remember huh?" Asked Honaka as she was resting on the bed.

" yea.. I'll gradually remember it... umm by the way Honaka.. why don't you tell me a story of us from the past. It will help me recollect it."

"From the past... hmmm.. right now, I ain't getting any of them... saki.?. do you have anything?"

"let me remember.. umm" she started thinking.

"Saki. Why don't you tell him about the camera thing.."

"Ohhh yea yea! Alright so what happened was..."

*Flash back*

Aoi, Honaka and saki were discussing things amongst themselves. Just then a man around his 40's walked towards them.

"Hello guys! How are you?"

They looked at him suspiciously. Saki discussing amongst themselves.

" hey, who is that? You guys know him.?" Asked aoi.

"Nope"

"No not at all."

The man spoke up .

" Hey guys , relax . I'm not a suspicious person or anything."

"Hmmmm? That's suspicious."

"Yea that's suspicious"

"hahaha. Okay Haruto told me that you guys would be here."

"You are a friend of him?" Asked aoi.

" Hahah. Friends? Hmm ..in a way.."

" We- we can't trust him aoi."

They started staring him suspiciously.. he gave an uncomfortable smile.

"Hmm what do you want anyways?"

"Relax I'm not staying here for a long time. I wanted to ask you guys a favour"

"A favour?"

"Yea. Can I just take pictures of all of you together with this camera?"

"woaah camera!" Saki got excited.

"Look Aoi. It's really a camera!"

"that's so cool"

"Yes. It's a Polaroid camera. The picture is printed as soon as you click it."

"Sounds luxury"

"Hey! You guys ! We just can't allow a stranger to take pics of us" said Honaka.

"hahaha. Well yea . Okay let's do one thing" said the man.

"What?"

"let me take one pic of you guys then you guys can have the camera forever."

"What??? Really?"

Saki and aoi looked excited.

"Yea .."

Saki and aoi startes convincing Honaka.

"Honaka Honaka! Please!!!"

"hmmmm.. alright if it's just one.."

"Yay!!"

"Cool so you guys stand here . Together.. good.. 3..2..1.."

"Ahh here it is!"

They looked at the pic and laughed.

"alright a promise is a promise. Here is your camera."

"Are you sure we can have this??"

"Yea yea don't worry! I got something more valueable than that.. anyways I'll take my leave. Take care!"

"yea we will.."

And the man left...

*End of flashback*

" surely brings back memories.."

"Ohh so that's what happened huh.. but I'm not part of that story right?"

"Haha no Haruto. It's not like that. It does have a part 2. Well it so happened that hospital people doesn't allow us to keep belongings to us. So since you had the longest stay at hospital so we told that you had the camera earlier too."

" I see.."

Just then Riku came in and called Haruto.

"Haruto. Do you have a minute?"

"yea yea. Alright guys, I'll take my leave."

They went outside. They were talking on the corridor.

"looks like Kakeru will be fine. We need to keep him in constant attandance."

Sake came out and started staring at them.

" What are you doing here ? " asked riku.

"Hmmm nothing really.. you guys can talk. Don't mind me"

"how can we not mind you.?!"

"Why? Is it something that you guys can't talk if I am here"

" no it's not like that.."

"I heard something about constant attandance.."

"Hmm that is..."

Just then Haruto interrupted.

"ohh that is about my stay at the hospital."

"Whattt?? You are gonna stay?"

"Yea. Just for a night.."

"that's coool!!"

Riku was confused too.. "Haruto?"

"Why? Can't I stay?"

"noo I mean if it's in Kakeru's room, it's alright."

"Yeaa then we'll speak all night!"

"yepp "

"Alright. Let me take few things and come back"

"Yea sure. See ya"

Haruto went back to his room and took few things with him.

Just as he was going out, his dad came out if his room.

"Haruto?" where are you going?"

"Ohh it's just that I'm spending a night at the hospital with my friends."

"Ohhh is it so.. well do whatever you want to". He went back angrily.

Haruto came to Kakeru's room . They were all waiting there. They spoke about various things that they did in childhood.

"Surely brings back those good days huh.."

"yea.."

There was a moment of silence. Riku and Haruto were alone at Kakeru's room

" Hey.. riku. What about the organ harvesting..?"

"Ohh yea I'll tell you about that. It so happened that mr Ishiuchi said about what they would gain from letting them die right. So it just clicked to me.. I thought if various other examples. But then it just clicked to me. You also told about Aoi and ur heart transplant right. Since she was an LMD patient too. So its possible .."

"so you are saying that she was killed because of that?"

" it's not that. Well even I don't know. Sorry about that.."

"Its okay."

"well. You see.. that mr. Ishiuchi. I have met him before..."

"Whatt??? When??"

"Listen Haruto...
