~Chapter One~
~Old Memories~
The sun was starting to go down when Himawari Furutani arrived at the Ohmuro household. Her long blue hair tousled lightly in the autumn breeze as she pressed the doorbell. Her feet dancing - eager to get out of the cold wind.
Her feet froze stiff when the door opened ~ standing there in the dim hallway light, tall, slender, with short blonde hair - none other than Nadeshiko Ohmuro.
"Hi," Himawari smiled nervously, "can I come in? Sakurako told me to wait for her."
"Umm of course, Sakurako is-"
"Just going to buy dinner," Himawari laughed; slipping off her shoes, "I know."
Nadeshiko brought two cups of tea into the living room and set them on the table. Himawari used the heat to warm her hands.
The two looked around the room awkwardly, each waiting for the other to engage in conversation.
"So," Nadeshiko ventured, "how have you been?"
"I've been great." Himawari replied.
It had been a whole year since they had split - she had her bad days of course, but Sakurako was always there to help.
"Himawari?" Sakurako rushed to my side, "what's the matter?"
"I saw Nadeshiko," Sakurako guided me to a seat, "she was with.."
"Hush now Himawari, it's okay." She held me, I could hear the thud of her heart beating in her chest; it was soothing.
"I'm so sorry Sakurako," I try my hardest to fight back the tears, "but I just needed to see you-"
"That's enough," Sakurako laughed, "everything is going to be alright."
I don't know what it was.
"I promise, everything will be alright."
But whatever it was, when she said those words to me. I knew she meant them.
Now Himawari could honestly say she hadn't thought of Nadeshiko and her girlfriend. It had taken a year, but she was genuinely happy again. It was at this moment that she remembered she was with Nadeshiko.
"I'm so sorry," Himawari's face turned a little red from embarrassment, "I completely spaced out."
Nadeshiko laughed, "That's alright."
Himawari rubbed the back of her neck, "sooo, what about you? Anything new?"
"Same old stuff," Nadeshiko replied, "my anniversary with my girlfriend just passed - that was pretty fun."
"Oh? What did you do?"
"We went to see a movie," Nadeshiko cooed, "then we went to dinner."
"It sounds nice." Himawari mused.
"It was nice." Nadeshiko's gaze lowered, her fingertip tracing around the top of her cup of tea.
"Something happened?"
"We.." Nadeshiko bit her bottom lip, "We had an argument, it was pretty big."
"Oh," Himawari blew the steam from her tea and took a sip, "do you... wanna talk about it?"
"It was.." Nadeshiko thought hard - her forehead creased, finally she let out a sigh, "It was about another girl."
"Oh," Himawari shuffled uncomfortably in her seat, taking another sip from her cup, "another girl?"
"Yes, a girl that I dated a long time ago." Himawari turned to look at Nadeshiko, when she noticed Nadeshiko gazing back at her.
"A girl she thinks I still have feelings for."
Nadeshiko placed her cup on the table, taking Himawari's cup from her hand and setting it on the table as well. She closed into Himawari ~ wrapping one arm around her waist and letting the fingertips of her other run through Himawari's blue windswept hair.
"And I still wonder," Nadeshiko whispered, so close that Himawari could feel Nadeshiko's hot breath against her lips, "If this girl has feelings for me."
Himawari pressed her lips to Nadeshiko's ~ embracing eachother for a few brief seconds before releasing her grasp.
"No," Himawari whispered back, "she doesn't."
Nadeshiko released her hold - her face tinged with guilt and rejection, she nervously shuffled back to her spot.
"I'm truly sorry Nadeshiko - you are an amazing young woman," Himawari explained, "but I'm in love with someone else."
"That's quite alright," Nadeshiko smiled, "you're the amazing young woman, Himawari - Sakurako is very lucky."
"I never said it was-"
"Stop it." Nadeshiko snapped. There was a second of silence, then they both began laughing.
"What's so funny?"
Standing in the Living Room doorway was Sakurako Ohmuro, a bag of fast food clutched in her hand. Her little sister Hanako standing behind her.
"Nothing," Nadeshiko coughed, "you two were quick."
"Hanako wouldn't let me have what I wanted," Sakurako scoffed, "she'd already picked our food before we even got there."
"Do you know how long it took to get those stains out from your last food fight," Hanako replied coldly, "we're eating this - it's easier to clean."
Sakurako scrunched her face up, "That was a year ago, you're still holding onto that?"
"Of course," Hanako huffed, "what would make you throw food at Himawari and Nadeshiko anyway?"
Sakurako shot the two a panicked look, "How about we eat now, hmm?"
"You three go ahead," Nadeshiko stood and grabbed her food from the bag, "I'm going to eat in my room - things to do, have fun."
"Eh?" Sakurako whined, "fine then, we can eat in our room too: Himawari, why don't you bring Kaede over?"
The girls laughed and ate, and drank and played. By 10pm they had worn themselves out.
Hanako was startled awake when she felt Sakurako's arms cradle her.
"What are you doing?" She protested.
"Don't," Sakurako slipped Hanako underneath the sheets next to Kaede, who was already fast asleep, "its sleep-time."
Well well, Hanako thought to herself, You continue to impress, big sister.
Sakurako settled down on the floor beside Himawari.
"Did you have fun?" she chuckled.
"Definitely," Himawari tucked in under the blankets, "it's been a while since we've been able to talk."
"We're together all the time," Sakurako teased, "to be honest, I'm getting sick of you!"
Himawari rolled her eyes, "I'm being serious - we never get to really talk anymore."
Sakurako stopped laughing when she noted the serious tone in her voice.
"Not since-"
"You know why we can't be like we were." Sakurako interrupted.
"I do know," Himawari sighed in defeat, "but still..."
Himawari felt the blankets vibrate.
"It's her again isn't it."
"Don't be like that," Sakurako snapped, "we're still together, best friends. hmm?"
Sakurako tried to reach out to Himawari, but Himawari brushed Sakurako away.
"Just answer it."
Sakurako flinched, she slipped out of the door as quietly as she could and hit the 'Accept' button.
I don't know what it was.
"I promise, everything will be alright."
But whatever it was, when she said those words to me. I knew she meant them.
"Here you are," I heard from behind me, "I've been looking all over for you!"
I turn around to see her, Toshino Kyoko.
They had started talking more and more but I didn't pay much attention then. I was still hurt over Nadeshiko.
Maybe I should have, I was shocked when I watched Sakurako confess to her, and shattered when Kyoko accepted.
"I'm sorry! Himawari needed some help -"
"So you came to give her some love? I'm so jealous..." Toshino Kyoko pretended to sob, "where's mine?"
Sakurako let go of me and ran to her.
"Always some for you." Sakurako chuckled.
Toshino Kyoko laughed along. When she had finally calmed down, her eyes glowed - as did Sakurako's. Always when they were in eachother's arms.
"I love you." Toshino Kyoko said to her.
Himawari's eyes opened, slowly she remembered where she was, what she did.
Who was next to.
As she looked down at Sakurako's sleeping face, she felt nothing but loneliness:
"You're gonna make me blush," Sakurako giggled, then she smiled at her, "I love you too."
Himawari could feel tears welling in her eyes, she fought them back; she said "I love you too." Himawari thought to herself.
Himawari quietly slipped out of the blankets, leaving Sakurako snoring heavily on the floor alone. She crept through the door and down the hallway, feeling her way through the darkness until her eyes adjusted. When she had found the door she was looking for she was just about to creep in when she felt her foot hit a fast food container over.
"Who is that?" Nadeshiko panicked, switching on her bedside light - almost frightened to death when she saw Himawari standing near her.
"Hima-ko, what are you-"
"Promise me," Himawari said flatly, "that she won't find out."
"Huh?" Nadeshiko yawned, "what are you talking about-"
"Promise me," Himawari corrected herself, "that no one will find out."
Nadeshiko paused for a long while.
"I promise."
Himawari climbed into her bed.
