Prologue

I was hovering there beside her, glancing out at the wondrous and somewhat dream-like landscape that filled our sight. A small gust of wind flowed beautifully through the bright purple trees and grass, causing them to sway graciously back and forth. A large, blue lake lying dead in the centre of everything else; the water twinkling fantastically under the gloomy rays of the star above us.

I glanced over to her. Her hair was blowing with the wind, as if she was one with the world. She seemed like a part of the world around us, and rightfully so. A saddening, melancholic smile spread across her face. She hugged her knees tightly and a lone tear rolled down her face.
"Why are you sad?" I asked her. She slowly shut her eyes and breathe flowed peacefully through her nostrils. She opened her eyes again and turned her head towards me. There was a look in her eye. A look that she never had before. It was a look of courage. Her depressing smirk grew into a joyful, comforting grin.
"I've made my decision." She replied, her voice shaking a little. Despite her amazing expression of confidence, it was very clear how she was really feeling.
"What decision?" She then gazed upwards, glaring deeply into the sky.
"I want to go to a new place…" She told me.
(New place? What does she mean?) That was the thought that popped into my mind. But that wasn't the question I asked her.
"How will you get there?" I nervously replied. She giggled, almost childlike and looked back at me. She looked me dead in the eyes. Even if no words were spoken, I knew what she was trying to tell me. The light around me dimmed and I was over-whelmed by surprise, anger and sadness all at once. She slowly stood up and the small lights descending from the heavens began to glow and the peaceful gust transformed into a powerful gale.

"Why?" My voice quivered and I could feel tears building up inside me. As the wind blew past us, her hair blossomed into a magnificent show of bright pink threads flopping gracefully in front of her face. She gently put her right hand to her chest, closed her eyes and looked straight at the grass beneath her feet.
"Because, I want to meet you… Meet the you that looks like me…" She wept. Tears had begun to fall from her eyes. I could see the sparkling trails that the tears had left on her cheeks.
"So to do that… I must change the world as it is now…" She whimpered. Hearing her voice like that struck me like a spear piercing my heart. I wanted to walk over and hold her. I wanted to tell her that she mustn't cry. I wanted to tell her that everything would be okay. But I couldn't. Because of this dreadful body I've been left with. She was the only one in this world that had a body like she did.

The wind grew even stronger, and glamorous pink sakura petals danced majestically in the air, gliding past her. She tightly clenched the hand she had placed atop her breast and raised her head to look at me one last time.
"That's right… I haven't given you a name yet, have I?" A name… my heart lit up from the mention of being given a title.
"Hm… How about…" My expression dropped and the light surrounding me turned into a dull shade of blue. The name was perfect. It represented exactly how I appeared to her.

"W-Will I be able to see you again?" I hated this. I didn't want her to go away. I didn't want the two of us to be separated. But she had made her decision and she wasn't going back now. She was surprisingly stubborn in that retrospect. I slowly began to float upwards, along with all the lights- no… souls around me. All I could do was stare down at her figure wistfully. If I had arms, I surely would've stretched one out to her.
(Don't go…) I thought.
(Don't leave me…) I wished.
(Don't disappear…) I demanded. But alas, none of those thoughts would escape my voice. All I could do was stare. All I could do was watch. All I could do was allow her to finish what she started.

My periphery then became consumed by a blinding light. I felt my being blossom. Arms extended, legs retracted, a chest puffed out valiantly and hair sprouted atop my head. I had gained a body. And in front of me, all I could see was her. She looked dead into my soul, a grievous expression on her face.
"So that's what you look like…" She whispered. She no longer had the energy to speak. Those few words were all she could muster up.
"I'm… glad…" Those words slivered sluggishly out of her mouth.
"Are you tired?" I kindly asked her.
"Y-Yeah…" Her eyelids dropped and her legs gave way. I lunged forward to catch her and was mesmerised by an odd feeling. I was holding her. For the first time, I was able to hold her. But suddenly, she began to grow lighter. I looked at her feet and had noticed that she had started to disappear.

"No!" I yelled in anguish.
(Don't go! Don't leave me! Don't disappear!) I had no idea what to do. All I could do was pray. But that didn't help at all. The last of her head had evaporated into the light and I was left alone. Just like how it was before.

I dropped to my knees and rested my face within the palm of my two hands. And as I knelt there, I began to cry. Quietly. I was sobbing like a baby. My world slowly began to dim. My thoughts became different. My mind fell into a deep slumber.
(I'm going there… To meet you again… Then, I can truly hold you… With this new body you have blessed me with…) My consciousness faded away and I began to slowly descend to the new world… The world she wished for… The world WE wished for…
(Hikaru… It has a nice ring to it…) That was my last thought before I moved on…
