A morbid feeling lingered on a certain girl that day as she stood on the sidewalk. The cement ground saturated with the fallen rain only added to the gloomy feeling the girl was all too familiar with.
"It's already been four years...ne, Karin-chan?"
Her
pale pink lips barely shifted as the words slipped out of her mouth.
Her chocolate almost black coloured bangs covered her brown eyes; not
wanting anyone to know the true feelings she held within her heart.
Tiny droplets fell from the edge of her black umbrella and onto
the sidewalk. Her brown eyes following the trail the water droplets
took as it hit the ground; secretly, she wanted nothing than for this
dreaded day to end. But not hoping for tomorrow to come.
Mentally she cursed to herself; not wanting anyone to hear the foul language that came into her mind.
She waited a few more moment on that very sidewalk on that very
cemented ground for the crossing lights to change it's colour; giving
her the hint that it would be ok to cross the road without being
'accidently' killed.
But then again...don't most accidents happen on rainy days?
Taking in a long breath, a sigh accompanied it after a few seconds. With one foot forward and the other one after, slowly, she began walking across the road.
-------------------------------x-----------------------------------
"Milord, I think we're lost"
A red headed; almost oranged haired boy replied. His identical twin brother stood next to him; adding in his comment afterward.
"We're always lost with Milord Hikaru"
A blonde boy stood next to them, a gloomy cloud hung over him as he listen to the words that came out of the twin boys' mouths. His back turned to them and his purple- bluish eyes in puppy eye mode; hoping to get the twin to feel some guilt.
"I was only trying to find Haruhi..."
He murmured in a quiet, sadded voice. The twins bluntly replied back; not caring if they had hurt his feelings or not.
"But you got us lost instead" The chimed together.
All the while the dark cloud that lingered above the blonde boy's
head became more dark, showing that 'milord' felt even more dejected
than before.
"Hika-chan, Kao-chan, you shouldn't be making Tama-chan more sad."
Glancing down, they watched as a light brown haired boy patted the downhearted 'milord'. His precious stuff bunny securely in place in his right arm. Next to the childlike boy was his cousin; a tall boy with black hair.
"Tamaki, Haruhi's over there"
Uttered a lanky boy with glasses.
Automatically, the blonde haired boy; Tamaki; lifted up his head and
the dark cloud that once dwelled over his head disappeared as he yelled
out enthusiastically with his hand wide open
"Haruhi! Papa's here! Don't be scared!"
The twins laughed as their milord stepped out of the huge umbrella and into the rainstorm.
"Kyouya! Don't do that to me!"
A small smirk spread across the lanky boy with glasses's face as the blonde haired boy continued on with his complaints.
"It's what you get for waking me up so early"
"We're looking for Haruhi!"
"She could be at home"
He snarled back at the blondie in front of him. Obviously still enraged
by the early morning call he had gotten by his friend-- if you can call
them that at the moment.
After a few moments of standing in the summer's rainstorm, the group finally decided to make their way to their prey's home.
-------------------------------x-----------------------------------
Music blasting in her ears from her headphones, she kept on walking in
the rainstorm that gave no sign of stopping anytime soon. Her black
umbrella kept her from feeling the water drops that fell from the hazy
sky; the only feeling she wanted to feel at the very moment.
But then, how would she explain her wet clothing?
The answer would be unacceptable and she knew this well.
A small vibrating movement caused her to stop in her track.
Gracefully, with one hand still holding the umbrella, she reach into
her jean pocket and pulled out her silver razr phone. Pressing the
'Talk' button, she lift the minuscule phone to her ear.
"Moshi Moshi?"
"Ah! Akane! Where are you now?"
A cheerful and gentle voice reply back on the other end of the
phone. Keeping her eyes set on the ground, she stood there, answering
her friend's question in a monotonous tone.
"I'm halfway there, just wait a little, ne Eri-chan?"
"Alright. I just thought something happened to you, that's all. Ja ne"
Bringing the miniature phone down from her ear and putting it back in its orginal place, she placed her headset back on her head again and continued on with the song she was listening to before her friend had called her.
-------------------------------x-----------------------------------
With
the music still preoccupying it's sound in her ears, Akane did not
notice the coming footsteps toward her; her eyes still set on the
soaking ground.
It wasn't until she had bumped into someone that she looked up to stare
into purple-blue eyes. They seem to stare down her brown ones as she
kept eye contact.
"Ah! Gomen nasai!"
With a quick bow in a sign of apology, she quickly ran off as she caught sight of the clock behind the blondie she had bumped into.
"Ah...milord, you just scared off a girl."
Yet again, the twins chimed together; making sure the blondie could
hear it. With that said, the dark cloud of despair hung over his head
again as they continued on walking. All the while noticing that the
mystery girl that had bumped into him was already long gone.
