Chapter one :
Last Goodbye
Tokyo 30th July
The rain kept pouring down heavily as if accompanying the sad music playing. A group of people stood in front of a grave. A picture of a sixteen year old girl with blond hair and brown eyes grinning as she gave them a wink and raised her hand in the peace sign.
The girl was Kimiko, an odd girl. She was selfish and would agree with anyone who told her so without blinking. She herself would say that she wouldn't do anything that doesn't benefit her or things that don't involve her. Despite this, if you manage to befriend her your business becomes her business whether you like it or not and she'd do anything even if it doesn't benefit her.
You may say that maybe that's why she prefers not to become close to people. Maybe she knew that it was her weakness, that getting close to others will only hurt her in the end.
To others she was arrogant and to those who knew her she was selfish yet caring. An odd one.
She had a big and happy family consisting of a younger brother, a younger sister, a big brother, eight cousins, four aunts, three uncles, two grandmothers, two grandfathers and her parents. She wasn't the core member of the family, everyone were important but her death still took a huge toll on them. Outside of her family there's only one other person who would really care about her death which was her best friend.
Her family was sad. Extremely sad
Her younger siblings and cousins were crying on their knees in front of her grave yelling things like 'We promise to be good so come back', 'Come back', 'Nee-chan don't leave!'
The older cousins and her older brother had tears streaming down their face. They knew what death meant and regretted everything bad they ever said to Kimiko, everything they never did together and things like that.
"She was so young!" her grandmother cried while her grandfather embraced her
Her mother was pulled into a hug by her father as she kept yelling "She wasn't supposed to die! That bitch should have died not her!" she sobbed
"She's in a better place now..." one of her aunt said
Soon enough night came and they had to leave.
"No,don't take me away from my baby!" her mother yelled
Her mother's sisters were the ones who dragged her away while the others comforted the young children who were crying even louder due to her outburst.
Like a closing door, I'm slowly shutting down.
Like a falling leaf, just waiting for the ground.
Don't even bother, nothing can stop it;
Tried my best, but I just can't help it.
It will take a lifetime before I love again.
You will see me die before I love again.
Say my last goodbye.
In front of her grave stood a girl with red hair and whiskey brown eyes. Her whiskey brown eyes were red from all the crying. She broke down in tears again for the tenth time.
"Kimiko...why!? I was supposed to die, not you!" she yelled in anger
As she looked at the picture of Kimiko and broke down again
"I-I...you had family, people who care! I had nothing, nothing but you! It's not fair, I should be dead..." she cried trailing off
This girl was Kimiko's best friend Aisaka. The only person outside her family who would care if she died.
"Why? Why did you do that for me? I betrayed you! I'm a traitor!"
"We're friends, right? So of course I'll help you!"
"I...betrayed you! I left you a note...I told you we weren't friends anymore!"
"What the hell do you think you're doing!? You think leaving me a note saying 'thank you for being my friend and goodbye' will stop me from stopping your stupid ass!? Don't get me wrong, I don't care if we aren't friends, but! Goodbyes aren't one sided, real ones anyways"
Aisaka looked at the photo again recalling that she was the one who took that photo and what Kimiko told her
"Smile, if you don't things won't get better. So smile and good things will come your way"
"You idiot! You promised you wouldn't die!"
"Hey, it will all be alright. It will all work out in the end"
"Liar!" she yelled
"L-looks l-like...this...is..my stop, I used up my nine lives...d-do me a favor, t-tell my family...for loving me, a no good brat and supporting me no matter what...f-for g-giving me a r-reason t-to live...thank you so much!"
Rain started falling again muffling the sound of Aisaka's desperate cries.
Her tears filled with remorse, regret, pain, hurt and despair.
All the broken pieces' shattered all around me.
They've been lying there since the day that you left me.
I'm chanceless, can't fight against it;
Tried my best, but I can't make it.
Chapter end.
