"Haha Yumi, you can't run away from me..." a boyish voice of a child echoed out in the lush green forest of Prairie woods. Small, light footsteps were heard in an uneven rhythm and there was the sound of laughter every few seconds. However, there was a rock in his path which the young boy failed to notice. He ran straight forward and tripped over the rock, falling straight on the soiled ground. His face smacked against the floor, making him cry out in sheer pain.
"Ouch!" he cried. The sound of dainty yet swift footsteps in front of him slowed down, then finally coming to a stop. Curious as to know why the sound has ceased, he looked up and saw a pair of small-sized pumps with a distinct glow of blue, worn by legs wrapped in high socks, right in front of his hazel eyes. He looked up in a direction to the sky and saw his white- haired friend standing there with her hand stretched out.
"Shiki, are you okay? Your face looks red and swollen." she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, Yumi," he snapped for a brief moment, then stopped as he saw her face clouded with worry and sadness. A pang of guilt struck his small heart, like a dagger that had just been stabbed through that important internal organ, right beneath his chest.
"I-I'm sorry, Yumi," he stuttered. However, the little girl's behaviour was as if nothing had happened. She smiled cheerily and replied,"No, it's fine. Now get up, it's not fun to play without you, you know!" she said jokingly.
He noticed that her hand, slightly pale in colour, was still there. He reached out and grabbed the hand with his own. Slowly, the girl, now known as Yumi, pulled Shiki up. As he got up, he wiped his pants sloppily, like how other boys would normally do when they get up after falling. Then he looked into Yumi's emerald eyes and blushed ever so slightly.
"Thank you, Yumi," he said softly, in an audible voice. All she did was to smile and say,"No problem, Shiki. We're friends, after all."
"So did you like her as first glance?" the sorceress asked in curiosity, leaning against the warrior's broad shoulder, arms linked and resting on a patch of green grass. The warrior smiled and looked at the sky with his hazel eyes. He patted the sorceress on her bright pink-haired head with his free hand.
"Perhaps, Amaya, you can say that." he said looking up at the bright blue sky with hazel orbs. White clouds drifted lazily across it. Those patches of white did remind him of someone, the someone whom he'd been talking about to his girlfriend just now.
But that part was only the beginning of the story.
The actual romance past that lied behind him and two of his mission teammates. One of them, being his childhood friend.
And it all happened in the past. About 8 years ago, when they were just adolescent children.
Yumi... all that he could do was to pray for her that she would be safe and sound up there in the heavens, with her love.
Praying for his childhood friend... it seems to put him at ease. However there was a small twinge of guilt in his heart beneath, reminding him of what he did to her…
