chapter 2
Pin drop silence was finally broken by the cry of an infant.
The midwives immediately took the blob of pink flesh from the doctor and clean it in the tub near by.
The room was still very bright despite it was already midnight of August 15th. With white curtains reflecting the surgery lights and white walls to bounce of the radiance.
The beeping sound of the heart monitor and other machine filled in the emptiness of the room. The slight murmur of the doctors and midwives further strengthen the rhythmical sounds of the machines.
On the bed, there was a green haired woman in her early thirties breathing heavily. Beside her was her grey haired and blue eyed husband in his forties.
Her husband held his wife's hands and whispered sweet, comforting words into her ears. And kissing her tenderly on the lips, praising her for being brave.
"Your doing great, sweetie" He caressed her red, swollen cheeks. Her half lidded eyes watched her husband doing the repeated pattern over and over again. She found that soothing, and slowly she let herself relax in his touch.
"Congratulations, Kawahima-san! It's a healthy girl!" The doctor announced as the midwife walked in with a bundle of joy in her arms. The man was so happy, his chest burst into array of gleaming sun rays, he turned to look at his wife. her eyes watered, lips quivered.
"M-my baby!" A sob broke from her chapped lips. Her shaky hands reached out to hold her new born baby. She hugged her close to her chest. Tears streaming down her cheeks.
All that matter is she is here.
Her baby is here.
"Fumiko" her husband cried, as he hugged his wife and his baby. "Fumiko-- I'm so happy!" his voice cracked.
"Look at her, Gito" Fumiko gently pushed into his arms. Gito hold her as if a priceless treasure from the seven seas. He pulled the pink blanket away from her face.
He gasped.
"She's-she's beautiful." He uttured. He lightly stroke her chubby cheeks. "she got your hair..."
Then the baby opened her eyes.
It was so blue.
Cerulean blue...
... like her father's.
Gito teared up and hugged his daughter close to him. "She got my eyes! My eyes!" He sobbed harder.
Fumiko leaned over to embrace both of them. The doctor walked over with a birth certificate in his hands.
"Kawahima-san, what will you name you daughter?" The doctor asked.
"Negi." Fumiko smiled as her daughters grabbed hold of her index finger.
"Kawahima Negi."

Before, Rein thought that it was all prank devised by her classmates. She felt that it was all too surreal to be true. But that was debunked when she was pushed out from a funnel. It was so painful that she let out a cry.
What.
What???!!!
No fucking way! They got to be shitting on her!
Rein suddenly felt her body (body?since when did she have one now?) being held by a gigantic hand and passed to another. Then a flush of water pour onto her skin.
It was warm. Not too hot, not too cold either. She found herself leaning more toward the source. It continued for a few minutes before the water stopped.
Disappointed from the lack of warmth, Rein started to squirm arround. The person handling her noticed this and immediately wrapped her with a soft blanket.
"Ara, Ara! Dame te yo, aka-chan."
The fuck is she talking about??? Rein was utterly confused. Her head started to hurt from the lights, sounds and whatever the hell is out there! She just need sleep. A peaceful and soundless sleep.
That person walked out with Rein in her arms, then she passed Rein to another person. They were very shaky. And for once, she was actually scared that she will be dropped onto the ground.
Everything sound gibberish, but she's confident that they're neither speaking English nor Chinese. They were so loud, her body was pushed against someone's before passing to another person to be squeezed just as well.
What is she, a stuff toy???
Then, Rein tried to peaked under her eyelids. But really, it was just a blur. Nothing but light blinding her own eyes. Then she gave up on trying to make sense of her surround.
'Fuck this shit I'm out' her eyes closed shut, and drifted to dreamland.
---
It's been weeks since she was taken to her new home with her new parents.
The house was decent. The white paint on the wall was crisp but clean. There's a big red roof that makes ones feel homey. It was a two storey house with a garden in the front lawn and a huge backyard with swings and slide. The living room was big and spacious with polished wooden floor. There was a flat screen television mounted on the left wall which is parallel to the big red couch and a coffee table in the middle.
Rein, or Negi as she called that now, was brought to her own nursery. The nursery itself was filled with soft toys on the ground. The books are stacked up in one of those shelves on the sides. The mint green wallpaper matches with the crib and the carpet on the floor.
Negi was a bit dazed, her eyesight was still blurry. Her ears were ringing.
Not that she can do anything right now...
She's a god damned three week old baby. For heaven sake!
She spent her days sleeping, eating, crying and oh god no--
she did not just shit her diaper.
purely acting on instinct, Negi cried. Fumiko acted immediately and speed walked to the nursery. She cooed Negi and quickly change her diaper. After that, Fumiko fed her, and tuck her to sleep.
Negi didn't have a choice, so she closed her eyes and drifted off to her mind scape.
---
One of those things that Negi couldn't understand not even in this and previous life time was, how the fuck did she gets here.
Obviously she had no clue on what's going on and--hey, she got an adult hands now!
and rest of the body too!
Negi ventured deeper into this dark ass place where the only thing that keeping her from bumping into the wall were the candles on the tables and attached on the walls. She noticed that the stone walls were covered in dust and moist. The moss were given the opportunity to flourish in that environment. The ground wasn't good either. It was cold and slippery.
Negi continued to walked forward until the finally saw the light in front of her. Then she was transfered into a antique looking room.
The floor was covered with polished brown woods. The wood creaked wheneger Negi steps on it. The shelves were high and stacked with variety of books and scroll. The shelves covered every corner of the room. In the middle, instead of plain wooden planks, there's a tatami mat lies on top of it. There was a low table with open scrolls and used ink and brush on top of the surface. A cabinet full of drawers was also beside the low table.
There are scrolls with Chinese characters mounted on the walls and ceiling. Negi recognized those words, considering it she studied a bit of Mandarin because her mom forced her to. She never felt so accomplished when she finally read a words from it.
Negi approached to the table and hovered above the scroll. She saw a few words.
Flowers withered then,
Fresh Plum but none in the end,
Soon blossom in falls.
The fuck is this?
'A poem?' Negi guessed. She tried to rummage for more, but it was fruitless. Then she heard a clang behind her. She twisted around and found an antique mirror that fell from the table. She took a moment to look at herself.
Green haired. Blue eyed.
Blue eyes not exactly rare among the Europeans.
But green hair?? that's highly impossible to the point that not even birth mutation can alter that!
Negi stepped back and accidentally?knocked over the cabinet. The drawers fell out and the things inside it tumbled onto the ground.
Herbs?
Negi picked up a thyme and inspecting it. Nodding. It's fresh, the fragrance is strong. She picked up all the herbs and sort them into its category (since when was she able to read Japanese?) before putting them back into the original place.
"what is this place..." Negi muttered.
