Turquoise Roses - Chapter One;

She was sitting in her front room watching the black storm clouds rolling in. Seeing the large rain drops hitting the window, one by one, till it started forming into a steady down pour. Her mind was still in a small state of shock. Yesterday night, she saw him. After so many years of not seeing him. Her childhood friend had returned and looked, in a way, the same but, different. More grown up, even more mature then he was when they were both younger. She snuggled in her gray hoodie more and, let out a small yawn. Rain always made her so sleepy. Her sky blue eyes watched the rain hit her window, thinking once more about Shuichi. How she'd always loved his eyes, always shinning so brightly and always smiling. Although… there was always that something, something that he kept hidden.

Lightening struck and soon after a clap of thunder followed, as she thought more about her green eyed friend, whom she'd missed so much. She often thought about him, and was shocked when she saw him last night. He was walking along the side walk with two of his friends, the two she knew only by rumor. Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara. Her breath hitched in her throat when she saw his pale complexion, with that red hair and stunning green eyes. They locked eyes for a moment and she knew that he recognized her by the expression on his face that appeared, it was a slight shock, with a bit of happiness showing.

His smile still hadn't changed, still bright and beautiful as always. He'd gotten taller too! They always were the same height when they were younger, now he was near, or just about six feet tall. She ran up to him and embraced him in a warm friendly embrace, a slight blush painting her face . Saying it had been far to long since she'd last seen him. Which was exactly two years and nine months. The had a bit of small talk, and was introduced to his friends. After walking for a bit, he invited her to get some coffee and talk a bit more, but she had to decline, saying she had to get home. Oh how she wanted to stay…but it would have been a bit weird to hang out even for a little, with his friends. She didn't want to interrupt them anyway. So she went home.

And now that's where she sat, at her house, watching the thunderstorm. She stood up grabbing her favorite coffee mug, she rinsed it and filled it with some water. Planning on making herself another cup of tea. After her tea was done she made her way back to the window pane. It was wide enough for to sit on, and it came with a comfortable pillow already placed securely on the pane. So she sat, drinking her tea, while watching the thunderstorm continue. Her thoughts of her friend were interrupted when she heard knocking at her door. 'Who would be out in this weather?' She thought to herself, while making her way to the door.

She opened the door, only to find no one there. "odd… I thought I heard knocking." She glanced down and saw a rose, but not any normal looking rose. A turquoise colored rose. She bent down and picked it up, feeling the silky softness of the petals. 'It's real?!' She thought, shock and curiosity shown on her face. Shutting the door, she made her way back to the window to look out it. Twirling the rose in her hand , wondering who left it. After finishing her tea, she went to the kitchen and placed her mug in the sink, then filled a small vase with some water and placed the rose in it. Soon she found her self sleepy from the rain, so she headed off to her room to get some sleep. Glancing at the clock, noting that it was nearing ten o' clock at night. She decided it was a good time to get some shut eye.

The next morning she awoke to bright sun rays dancing on her face, through her open curtain. She stretched and let out a yawn. After showering, dressing and doing other morning rituals she made her way outside and noted how beautiful it was always after it rained the night before. She started heading towards the grocery store. Arriving she got a small basket and made her way to the produce to grab some apples, other fruits and vegetables. "Oh my goodness! Ariana! Is that you?" She heard, glancing around she saw Shuichi's mother, Shiori. "Ms. Minamino!" She replied back as Shiori embraced her in a warm loving hug. "Oh no dear, it's Mrs. Kazuyu now!" She beamed releasing Ariana from the hug and showing her wedding ring. A bit of sadness struck her heart, she'd missed her wedding. "O-oh, Congratulations, when did you get married?" " A half a year ago, I sent you an invitation and never heard from you." 'Wha-….why didn't I get it?' She thought "Oh, I must not have gotten it." She said softly trying not to show her disappointment. But Shiori caught it and replied, "You'll have to come by sometime to look at the pictures! And we'll talk about it over tea." She beamed at Ariana smiling ever so happy. "Of course Mrs. Kazuyu ." Giving a last hug to each other, they parted their ways. Aria finished shopping around, paid for the groceries and made her way home.

After putting everything away, she wrote on her calendar. 'Visit Shiori for tea and wedding pictures.' Glancing at the clock noting that it was nearing noon, she grabbed a green apple she had bought, rinsed it off and began munching on it. Walking around her small home she went into her bedroom and spotted the turquoise rose. "I'm going to find out who left you here for me." She said touching one of the soft, silk petals. She sat down at the window after placing the vase with the rose on her coffee table in the middle of the room, and started reading one of her many romance novels. How she longed to be with someone, that one to hold her, love her, kiss her, make hot passionate love to, to be held on freezing winter nights, to be kissed on the back of her neck while cooking, or cleaning. Sighing she finished the last page "Always happy endings…For once I wish I could have a happy ending." She said as she put the novel on her book shelf. 'Time to buy a new one.' She decided she would go to the library and get a new novel. So, after locking up her house, and glancing once more at the rose, she left making her way to the library.

After walking around the romance section for ten minuets she finally found one she thought sounded good enough to read. She made her way to the check out line, but on the way spotted a certain bundle of red hair she could never forget. ' Oh great…Shuichi.. Eh, okay, Aria just stay calm…he's only been your crush since you laid eyes on him!…oh that makes me feel sooo much better' She argued with herself in her mind. "Ariana, what a surprise to see you here." Kurama said spotting her walking up to the line, as he made himself that way as well. "H-hi Shuichi, surprise why?" She said a faint tint of blush crossing her pale complexion, as she tried to hide the novel she had in her hands. "Well, I don't think I've ever seen you here before, you didn't seem much of a reader back in school, when we were younger." He replied with a smile making her blush grow more. 'His smile, oh only if he knew it made me so weak in the knees.' "Uh, well erm that was when I was younger S-Shuichi, all I wanted to do was play on the playground, y-you know that." She replied 'AH!! Come on girl! Get a hold of yourself, you're a stuttering, fidgeting mess!' She thought taking in small breaths trying to calm her racing heart. "Ah, I guess it has been a while then, hasn't it? Where did you run off to? I thought you were planning on going to the same High school as me? Well, at least that's what your mother told me." "Oh.. W-well some things came up and uh I ended up moving as you know, across to the other side of town." She said glancing around nervously she tried to rid her thoughts of when she was younger, when she had to move. She didn't talk to anyone for months, she was really sad she moved away from Shuichi.

But now she was back in the same neighborhood, so all is well. 'Cheer up girl, he might notice' She thought to herself. "What's that you have there?" he asked motioning to the book in her hand. Her blush now returning, she nervously answered, "T-this? N-nothing!! Just a novel, nothing s-" She didn't get to finish because Kurama quickly snatched up the book and began to read the description on what it was about aloud, "Long lost lovers, finally find each other, will their love rekindle or will it fade like a dying candle out of a wick?" He raised his left eye brow slightly with a small smile showing. "So, romance novels then hm?" A mischievous glint in his eye. "Hey! Not nice! Give it back!" she cried out trying to grab her book. "He handed it back to her, laughing gently at her blushing face. "So not funny Shuichi, don't make me tell you mother." She said trying to regain herself, and act as if she was mad. "Oh, hmm what ever will I do?" He replied giving her a playful smile. "Next!" The clerk at the counter said, Ariana handed him the book, he scanned it and told her the price, she paid then told Shuichi, "Well, it was nice t-talking to you, I-I'll see you later okay?" He smile and waved goodbye. 'Oh…only if you knew.' She thought again as she walked out the door.
