Iris 01: Fallen

Painted sky, milky white clouds brushed in the blue indigo paint winter sky. Song, the whistling wind dancing with the symphony of the dry leafs in the misty air. Words, whispering sweet nothings from a poetic falling petal to another flower. A beauty, a young woman, was sitting casually in one of CLAMP university café.

Her long black hair played with the wind. She brushed her hand through her hair and tugged some hair behind her ear.

Japanese classic dark eyes, staring at the flower but not really looking. Red lips, forming empty lullaby to her self. White paled skin, so silky to touch. Long graceful hand, lifting the cup of tea to her lips.

She sipped her tea silently. The tea was Earl Gray, two spoons of sugar and a little cream milk.

Her red lips sighed. She felt so old, although she was in her late teens, starting to have her essay for her last year in the university soon. She looked at her watch. She got up and paid the bill.

She went to the campus library, God's knew that the CLAMP library has the most books that could match the Japan National's library. She was going to meet her client there. It was sort of a part time job you see, for funding her way through college.

She swiped her ID card to open the electronic door, and accidentally dropped it.

"Ops." She sighed and bent down to reach her ID, but someone beat her to it.

She glanced up and gasped. A pale face like the moonlight. Skin looked like soft to touch and yet cold to see. She fought the urge to run her hand on this man's cheek.

Their eyes met, spoken of one eternity.

And it was over too soon.

She broke the contact first, her cheek redden like the crimson red petals.

"Domo arigato," she said, politely, when he gave her back her ID.

"You are welcome, Kishuu-san."

"How did you know my name?" she asked in confusion. She had never seen this person around the Campus before.

He chuckled lightly. It was strange to see that expression on his icy doll like face. "It's on your ID."

"Oh." She blushed again, this time of embarrassment and her stupidity. After she could control herself. She looked at him again. "I never seen you around here before."

"I'm a new transfer." He paused. "Sumimasen, I should introduce my self. My name is Kazuki Nataku."

His name made an echo inside her mind, like the sound of the sea, sweet and gentle tides, sweeping her whole being.

"Watashi wa Kishuu Arashi desu. Yoroshiku ne."

"Nice to meet you too, Kishuu-san."

"Arashi, please."

"Then, just call me [ Nataku ]."

- [ Tsuzuku ] ­
