Dear
All,
I
am so happy that I can post this chapter up as my inspiration had finally
decided to wander back home after leaving my brain for such a long time. As a
fic writer, I have no choice but to admit this true fact that review and
comments are two BIG motivation factors for us to continue on with our fic
writings [blushing shamelessly].
I
have to thank you gals for all those R&C for my previous fics, especially
‘Kotoko strikes back’, felt so touch that minnasan had really taken the
trouble to read each and every chapters…sniff*sniff* and I hope I could try my
best to relive the sparks of Itakiss via all those fic writings…all right, I
guess I am getting over-emotional right now…hahaha…
This
fic might seem a bit heavy, hope u gals don’t mind, I will try to add in
something light to brighten up the plot coz this is never mean to be a dark fic…I
just wanna try to create more opportunity to make Naoki relieving his true
feelings for our dear Kotoko.
Okay,
happy reading…
Take
care

Naoki’s
Miracles
PROLOGUE
“A…RI…ga…tou…I…rie…Kun…ai…shi…Te…Ru…”
Those
were Kotoko’s first words after that fatal accident.
Those
were Kotoko’s only words after that fatal accident.
Kotoko
had already lost their first unborn child, and nearly lost her life, what else
would she lose?
HER
VOICE.
CHAPTER 1 – LIFE AFTER DEATH
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
“Kotoko,
please wake up, for the sake of yourself…” Naoki prayed hard, its now or
never, should Kotoko failed to wake up in the next 10 minutes, he would have no
choice but to give up.
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
"
She would eventually come back!"
That was how Naoki replied Machiko whenever he was being instructed to chase after Kotoko after a quarrel or when Kotoko decided to move back to Sai's place after getting disappointed with Naoki's reaction towards certain issue. Indeed, just as Naoki had expected, Kotoko would move back to the Irie house after one day.
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
“
You would eventually come back to me, right? You have only 5 minutes to do
so!” Naoki shouted out loud in a nearly breakdown tone, tears started forming
around the frames of his eyes as each second mercilessly clicked away.
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
-Click-…-click-…-click-…
"
Doctor Tentou had just did an abortion for the patient?"
Naoki
asked as he read through the record by the previous surgeon.
“Hai!”
One
of the nurses replied.
"
Doctor Irie, are you all right?"
The
nurse asked.
"
Couldn't be…"
Naoki
muttered out in a very melancholy tone as he slowly shifted his glance to the
patient's bruised and swollen face.
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
-Click-…-click-…-click-…
“
We had already lost our child, I couldn’t afford to lose you too! DAMN IT!
WOULD YOU WAKE OUT FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR IRIE-KUN??” Naoki finally lost his
cool and screamed out hysterically. Reiko, who was standing close behind was
shocked by his abnormal behaviour.
“
Naoki, don’t push yourself too hard!”
One
more minute left running in the screen of Naoki’s stopwatch.
‘WAKE
UP! KOTOKO! WAKE UP!”
-00:50s–
“
Naoki, don’t do this to yourself.”
-00:35s-
“STOP
TELLING ME WHAT TO DO! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH KOTOKO MEAN TO ME?”
-00:15s-
Reiko
was speechless.
-00:10s-
“KOTOKO!
WAKE UP! ONEGAI!!!!!!!”
-00:08s-
“DON’T
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!”
-00:06s-
“DON’T
LEAVE!!!”
-00:03s-
“I…LOVE…YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
-00:01s-
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
-00:00s-
-Beep-…-beep-…-beep-…
There
was a short moment of silent.
Reiko
could feel those hot tears rolling down her face. Despite the fact that she
hated Kotoko all these years for snatching Naoki away from her, she was still a
human being with emotion. Although Kotoko was still not considered dead yet, in
medical point of view, Kotoko was no better than a corpse. Worst, she would
become a living corpse. As long as she was still holding on to that last breath,
she would be giving nothing but burdens and sadness to her loved ones.
“NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Naoki finally broke down.
Reiko
wanted so much to comfort Naoki, but it seemed that nothing she did would serve
much help at the moment. Just when Reiko decided to leave Naoki alone for a
moment, she saw something.
“NAOKI
LOOK!! HER HAND IS MOVING!!!!”
To
be continued…
