Reita was walking in the park, walking through the leaves that had fallen off the trees. He liked the parks this time of the year; it usually made him happy seeing all the different color leaves. He just wished he had someone to share this happiness with, someone to care for him as he cared for them but he knew he couldn't find someone like that.

He continued to walk, thinking to himself, watching the leaves falling off the trees and all the couples walking past him seeming so happy with each other. He wished he could be them, holding his lovers hand happily.

Keira was walking, not really paying attention; she didn't like this season she was always left alone. She just wished she could sleep it away, but she knew she couldn't because of her schooling and band activity's she had to take care of.

She held her bass, walking past all the couples walking by; she had little tears dripping down. She hated all of them, having someone, and her being left alone. She felt sad also, she was never one who would have a lot of friends because she was different in people's eyes.

Reita kept walking, and without notice, he bumped into a small girl carrying a bass, he looked at her and helped her up, he felt so bad, he wasn't watching where he was going at all, so he walked into her by accident

"Gomen… please… forgive me… I wasn't watching where I was going…" he said to her as he bowed countless times, trying to get her forgiveness

Keira looked up at him, shocked to see who she had bumped into, she got up, and smiled, she really didn't mind, because she also wasn't looking where she was going.

"No… it's ok… I wasn't watching where I was going either… Gomen…" she said also bowing countless times, blushing madly, she was a very shy person.

He smiled and stopped her from bowing; he really thought she was going to hurt herself if she kept going the way she was. He kissed her head and smiled, he was starting to like this girl that stood in front of him.

"It's ok… I'm Akira… and you are?" he said smiling, holding his hand out for her to shake it, but lowered it when he knew she wouldn't shake his hand.

She smiled, but looked at the hand; her hands were a little dirty. She was scared he would get mad at her just like her boyfriend does when she tries to touch his hand or just to bump into him.

"I-I'm Keira… Nice to meet you Akira" she said well she tried to keep a smile on her face.

Akira smiled and then looked at Aoi and Uruha running his way, he sighed angrily, he just wanted five minutes without them coming and gushing about how much they loved each other. He liked that his friends loved each other, but he didn't want them gushing about something his parents would tell him that they were to choose who he dated.

He looked back at Keira, but she was gone, all that was left where she had once stood, was a name tag for a café uniform. He felt bad; he must have scared her off when he sighed angrily.

Keira ran home, not looking back or noticing her name tag was gone from her café uniform. She thought his sigh was directed at her, so she didn't want to bother him anymore then she already did.

She knew she would be beat by her boyfriend Hiroshi when she got home, but for some reason she didn't want to call the authority's, or lose him, she still loved him no matter what he did to her, not knowing he would be the one who would almost kill her one day.

*Few Weeks Later*

Reita was sitting in his hot apartment, waiting for the guys to come over, he was listening to the radio, when he heard something about a brutal beating with a girl named Keira involved he turned it up so he could really hear it.

The radio guy continued with his story about the girl "On the night of August 31st, a girl by the name of Keira Teito was brutally beaten by her boyfriend who is still on the run, if you have any information on the boyfriend Hiroshi Matsumoto, please contact the authority's. This young girl is still alive, but is in a coma, we have no way to contact her parents for we do not know where they are at the time, any information would be helpful at this time, Thank you for listening"

Keira was in a hospital room, on so many medications to help her, her body was covered in bruises, barley breathing, but the oxygen machine helped her. She could hear bits and pieces of the conversations the doctors talked about, and the random voices she couldn't recognize, they all talked about how they felt sorry for her, and they wished the police would find Hirsohi.
In her head she said "I wish I was dead..." but that changed when she heard one familiar voice telling her to wake up, that he was waiting for her to wake.
