Greatest Assassin
Chapter 28

As Alice was about to start disappearing, Aiken slightly opened her eyes. He looked at Alice who was about to see with a sad look, her hands slightly moved and holding Alice's face. Alice's body, which was about to disappear, smiled at Aiken and held Aiken's hand.

"Aiken, I. "before Alice finished her words, she had already disappeared, and Aiken had fallen unconscious.

Ayumi, she stared angrily at Mr. Yoshi who so casually stood up as if he saw a movie theater in front of her. Ayumi holds her sword, she with her supernatural powers attacks Mr. Yoshi. But Mr. Yoshi, like Ayumi, has supernatural powers. With so relaxed Mr. Yoshi avoids nimble attacks from Ayumi, even as fast as Ayumi moves, Mr. Yoshi still easily avoids his attacks. Darting faster, Mr. Yoshi was behind Ayumi, using his strength, Mr. Yoshi made Ayumi bounce far enough to hit the power pole.

"Daddy! So suck! If this feels like it is no longer exciting," then Mr. Yoshi walked back slowly, then the man immediately disappeared without a trace.

Ayumi stood up, she limped closer to Aiken who was still knocked unconscious. Alex and Alyssa take Aiken to the hospital. Thanks to Akira, Aiken was able to breathe again with Akira's heart. Akira has given his heart to his older brother Aiken. Hiroshi looked so worried about Aiken, he sat beside Aiken's bed, stroking Aiken's head gently. Until finally Alex came with some cops.

"Captain Hiroshi, sorry. But you should be arrested. All this time you have abused the experiments you master. You must go to jail!" alex said, the police came and handcuffed Hiroshi's hands.

Hiroshi seemed resigned, he had also realized the mistake he made. Because of his grudge against Akira that has caused his wife to die, Hiroshi to the point of sacrificing his daughter and making her a demon. While Hiroshi has been taken away by the police, Alex, Alyssa and Ayumi are currently guarding Aiken until Aiken wakes up.

On the sidelines of their light conversation, Alyssa and Alex also explain to Ayumi about Akira as well as Hiroshi.

"So, as long as I'm gone Aiken's been in a lot of trouble. I even just found out that if Aiken survives with an artificial heart, I really feel guilty for leaving her for so long" Ayumi said.

"Don't worry. Now Aiken will be fine" Alex said, trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Yes. I believe that Aiken is not a weak man" Alyssa said.

Ayumi raised her face, "You're right. Aiken's a great guy. He was able to survive" said Ayumi.

And as the three of them were having a casual conversation, they were startled with Aiken's sudden realization. Even when Aiken regained consciousness, he immediately shed his tears without her being conscious. Aiken himself was even confused as to why he had shed his tears.

"I why?" Aiken rubbed the tears that kept dripping, then he remembered the face of a small child, Aiken Akira's little brother. But the face of the little girl Aiken did not know, she just cried without her noticing.

Ayumi who saw Aiken was aware, the girl happily immediately hugged Aiken tightly. And the young man was still confused as to why he was crying, he was sad but he did not know why he was sad.

"Ayumi, what's wrong with me?" ask Aiken.

"Now you'll be fine, Aiken. Sorry, I left you a long time ago" said Ayumi, holding Aiken's hands.

"Did something happen?" ask Aiken. Aiken's question once again made Alex, Alyssa as well Ayumi surprised. It was clear that if Aiken did not remember the event, he had even forgotten his meeting with his sister or Alice, he had even forgotten his meeting with Hiroshi.

"It's okay. It would be better" said Alex, smiling and patting Aiken on the shoulder.

"Hey, buddy. What about your heart?" ask Alex.

Aiken held onto his chest, he tried to feel his heartbeat. He was shocked when he could feel a heartbeat. He knew that the artificial heart in his body could not beat like a human heart in general.

"My heart's beating?" aiken said, he still could not believe if his heart was beating.

"That's a miracle, Aiken. Don't be surprised, you should be happy" Alex said, embracing Aiken.

"Ayumi, how are you? I guess I haven't seen you in a while?" ask Aiken to Ayumi.

"Hey, Ayumi," call Aiken.

"Yes, what's wrong?" sahut Ayumi, he took off his embrace.

"I feel like I've forgotten something important. A very important thing. I feel like I've lost something I love so much, what's that, Ayumi?" ask Aiken.

Ayumi was silent, she just stared at Alyssa and Alex.

"Maybe it's just because you're sick. When you're healed you'll be fine" Alex said.

"What's that? I think I've forgotten many things" said Aiken.

"Don't worry, Aiken. It must be just a side effect of the drug that the doctor has injected you" said Alyssa.

"Looks like. When can I go home? Ayumi, have I not been in school for a long time?"

"Well, that's how. But, relax. I've taken care of it. When you're healed we'll go to school" Ayumi said.

"It's unbelievable. My heart is beating, as if it were just a dream for me" said Aiken, once again he still could not believe the sound of his heart beating.

"Why do you think that? You should be happy, right?" ask Alex.

"At the time I was thirteen my heart started not beating. And until this moment, my heart will finally beat again" said Aiken.

When Aiken came home from the hospital, Ayumi continued to be by Aiken's side. He had been caring for Aiken until Aiken really began to recover. Ayumi also takes care of Aiken's apartment, she also cooks for Aiken.

"Now I'm fine, Ayumi. Thank you, because when I was sick you took care of me" Aiken smiled at Ayumi.

"Yes, don't hesitate to ask for my help" Ayumi replied.

"Ayumi, will you always be with me? It seems like I've forgotten a lot, and maybe you're the only person I don't forget" Aiken said.

"I won't leave you" Ayumi smiled at Aiken.

"Oh yes! What about my job! I must have lost a lot of chances to get paid!" said Aiken, he just remembered his job as an assassin agent Reco.

"What do you work for?" ask Ayumi.

"I forgot. Ayumi doesn't know me yet. I need to keep quiet!" inner Aiken.

"There was. It's secret!" answer Aiken.

"God, I lost my chance to make a lot of money!" gerutu Aiken's.
