Chapter 1

Distance

Six years have passed since the brawlers defeated Naga. And hence, the brawlers had undergone drastic changes. They were no longer little children, well no longer so 'little'

Alice had moved to Japan and was living in boarding. . Julie was staying in a wing of one of Marucho's extended estates along with her parents.

Runo and Dan were engaged…Julie was just shocked that it took them so long to realize and surrender to their inevitable feelings…

And it has been two years since Shun had left. When he left, he said that he would be back in half a year's time…But now, the fleeting letters were the only things indicating his existence.

But then again, the thing that really bothered Julie was Alice…

Alice was the one who had undergone the most drastic change of all. Alice had grown her hair long and her features were no longer childish. She had turned into quite the woman. But, in the process she lost her gentleness. She even lost her warm smile. She distanced herself from everyone…Alice was no longer the cheerful, sincere girl they once knew. She had turned into a completely different person.

Not even constant efforts from Runo's side bore fruit…

Shun and Alice were like two distant branches if the brawlers that once existed… Slowly, the many memories they shared became inconsequential… It was like the course of time had disintegrated their reminiscences...

Julie sat in the Misaki café staring at her cup of coffee absent-mindedly. A silent sigh escaped her lips.

She did not notice the blue-haired girl sit beside her.

"Julie…You do remember the annual celebration we hold. Don't you?"

"Yes, Runo." Replied Julie….She wasn't her usual bubbly self.

"You are thinking about Alice again aren't you?" asked Runo, her eyes glazing with tears just at the though.

"Hm…DO you think we should invite her? DO you think she will come…Or perhaps she will just ignore it like last time."

"I never anticipated her to. Alice was the last person I expected to end up in such a state." stated Joe, his eyes showing signs of regret as well.

"Woah, when did you get here?" Julie yelped, in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere. But then even she couldn't keep up the charade and her shoulders were slumped a little as she drank her coffee in a single gulp.

Dan watched this pitiful scene from behind the counter. 'How could Alice do this to us? Doesn't she care for anyone anymore?' he thought to himself as he watched the despair in his fiancée's eyes.

"I will tell you what…We will send her an invitation and ask her to reply. If she doesn't reply then we will personally go and see her. I mean, she is still our best-friend and we cannot have her suffer." announced Dan impressively.

"I guess you are right Danny boy." cheered Julie. "That is exactly what we will do. She can avoid us all she wants, but we won't let her drift away from us."

Runo smiled slightly. She wished from the bottom of her heart that Alice would come. She longed to see Alice again and to chat with her.

Runo felt very lonely and empty without her.

"I expect we should send one done to Shun as well." said Joe and the girls nodded in agreement.

They prepared both the invitations that very night.

Runo looks at the letter addressed to Alice with her bright anticipating eyes. She kissed it slightly.

Dan raised an eyebrow at her.

"For good luck." She explained blushing a little.

"Well, I will let it slide cause you kissed Alice's letter and not Shun's." he joked.

Runo laughed a little. "Right." She answered with a little giggle.

Two days passed by.

A girl with long pretty orange hair walked through the hallway of a building. She looked like she cared about nothing. Her face was set in a controlled expression, not betraying any emotion.

As she neared a lift a guy with blonde hair and a stud in right ear greeted her.

"Yo Alice…Letter for you." He called out.

She just looked at him casually as she strutted towards him and took the envelope from his hand.

"Thanks…" she replied shortly as she walked up the stairs.

The guy stared after her with an amused expression. "Still the same as always…Emotionless aren't you?" he muttered more to himself than to her as his green eyes fixed on her.

But she didn't hear him.

Alice reached her room. As she opened the door, she looked at the address on the letter.

"Misaki Café….Addressed from Runo Misaki." Alice's voice was filled with no particular emotion as she read the words on the envelope. In fact it was dead and lifeless. Then without a second's thought she walked over towards her bed.

She then crumpled the letter in her right hand, without even opening it and threw it to the side of her desk.

She then took off her coat and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. She didn't even turn on the heater on this chilly December morning.

She closed her eyes and turned her face towards the shower's faucet. The water was ice-cold as it ran down her face and on her soft skin.

However, right then the shower was not half as cold as her heart.

So how was it?. Okay granted this chapter was short, or not. Well it was the introduction and this was all I could muster out of myself.
