Quantum Leap: Multiverse Transmigration 74 3.31 Before the Transformation

"What do you think of an Akiya home around here? I saw a sign up for sale or rent and from the outside, the house seemed to be well maintained. Unlike the houses in rural and countryside, the place I saw had an outdoor car park, a garage and a small lawn outside. I'm sure the interior would be well maintained outside... Hope it doesn't represent the owner who wore fresh clothes and had never taken a bath for months... Hahaha...!"

Akira or should I say Akiara looked at me with a shock when I mentioned the owner simply does not bathe and yet wear fresh clothes every day...! The first thing when I mentioned Akiya which means vacant or abandoned homes, she squirmed thinking about scampering rats, spiders, termites and cockroaches.

However the worse the condition, the cheaper it is but unfortunately, it will incur millions of yen just to refurbish it.

"How about an apartment? But there's no option of a garden, garage or anything like that. Just a simple apartment within a flatted housing unit. Hmm... Hmm... Hmm... Choices and decisions to make..."

'Why do you mention about an akiya or even a house at this moment? Are you planning to buy one? How about my aunt's house? We could stay there meantime..."

"Well... We could stay there is if there is no devil that breathes down our necks at this moment. Actually, I want to talk to you regarding this matter during our dinner. We will be reaching the restaurant in a few minutes time."

A few minutes later, I turned and stopped at a parking alley outside a restaurant. It's a home converted into a restaurant where the first floor is for dining while the upper floor is meant for dwelling.

During our dinner, I opened up the topic of why we are here in the first place. I explained that we need to get away from the hospital and school and go to a place where people don't recognise us and use under an assumed name.

I told her the part that someone has the influence as deadly as a few yakuza clans put together. I told her that her life is in danger even in the hospital because you can never trust any doctors or nurses working there. One moment you could be alive and the next only God knows.

"Someone can give a lethal injection anytime posed as a nurse or doctor.

That's the reason we closed our bank accounts and make a deposit at the self-deposit machine. And with our assumed names, we could use our ATM without anyone tracking our actual whereabouts. Furthermore, we won't go through any plastic surgery to change how we look, just a simple haircut for me and some works on your hair like colouring or perming. What do you think?"

"Sure, just drive to a saloon and let me decide on the design and look. But not today, I want to take photos with us together around the gardens of Imperial Hotel later, OK?"

I nodded in agreement and saw her face lit up with anticipation. Right after dinner we drove for a while and headed to the hotel an hour and a half later.

The evening is more picturesque than the day as the fountains around the hotel was lit up with stripes of led warm glow and we took pictures together with casual and silly looks.

We went to the large garden where a lot of cherry blossom or Sakura as the Japanese called them. There are lots of twinkly lights adorning the trees like as if the trees themselves had stars that twinkle endlessly.

I made Akiara posed in different styles and took photos on both phones and she made me too make funny poses as well. She made me bite onto a branch and act as if I am a ballet dancer.

There was a quaint goldsmith in the hotel lobby. I took the chance to go inside while Akiara was taking some scenic photos. I chose 2 gold bands as an engagement ring and paid through the newly acquired ATM cards with similar pin codes as Akira's. I made the engravings of the word "Our love is forever unchanging" in Kanji characters.

Time to make the move, kemosabe...!

I came back to Akiara and suggested we watch some telly because the hairdressers around town close up early for business. But opens up real early like 9 am unlike our previous towns that open from 11 am onwards. She asked me where I went earlier and said I went to the lobby receptionist to ask something. Sensing nothing was amiss, she hooked her arm in mine and we walked back to our suite.

The balcony doors were closed and I switched on the aircon: and a faint smell of chamomile water in the air. This is to get rid of the mosquitoes and other gnats in the room. Akiara sat on the edge of the bed while I sat cross-legged on the floor in front of her as she fiddled with the TV remote. The rings in their own respective boxes were placed in the night dresser beside the TV.

So far the news of us missing from school and hospital had been replaced with other gripping or interesting topics. News of 2 teenagers eloping is nothing out of the extraordinary but I knew someone is setting up a manhunt for both of us.

"Akiara, may I ask you something with regards to your past memories...? Is there anything that you remembered or partly having vague memories...? Your studies for example... Do you remember going to high school or having swimming sessions et cetera...?"

"Shinjiro, my memories are the least you should be worried about. What I need now is to start life anew with you around me and make new memories as we go along, you won't mind, right? You showed concern and care as well as love even I was in a coma. You waited patiently for me to regain my senses. And all I can do for you is to be a part of you."

Akiara moved from sitting on the bed and sprawled on it and laid her head close to mine and wrap her arms around my neck. I held on to her arms and thanked her for trusting me. I placed tender kisses around her hands and arms and she pulled me in and kissed my cheeks and ears.

I switched off the TV and turned the night light and I slipped in bed with her. I held her close to mine while her leg was straddled between my thighs against the hardness of my shaft. I didn't do anything that night and just held her close to me, her head right over my chest as we slept through the night.
