Marmalade Boy
Tragic Love: Miki Could Be Gone
Miki Koishikawa looked out the window of the plane she was in. She was headed to New York to see Yuu. She missed him so much, and it made her heart ache. The only thing that could ease that pain was to see Yuu and talk to him. It was near midnight so when she got to New York she would rent a room in a hotel and stay the night there. Then, in the late afternoon she would go see him. She planned to handle this as maturely as possible. She would talk to Yuu; tell him how much she loved him and that it was okay that he didn't feel the same way anymore. But Miki didn't know what to do after that. But Miki knew that it would work out. Even if Yuu still didn't love her, it would all work out. Hours had passed before Miki finally got to the New York Airport. She picked up her luggage and went into the nearest hotel. In her room she dressed in her pajamas and went to bed, both eager, and nervous about the next day.

Yuu Matsuura sighed. He missed Miki. He was in his room doing his work and it was close to 6. His head couldn't think and think of any answer. That's when he suddenly remembered that day he broke up with Miki. That sudden image coming into his head made him put his pencil down. He needed some fresh air. He headed out his room and down the steps and to the front door. He opened the door and got a surprise. Miki was right on the other side. She stepped back a little, surprised that he was the one who opened the door right before she was going to.
"Miki," Yuu said her name in surprise.
"Yuu," Miki said. "I'm here. I wanted to talk to you badly."
Yuu shook his head and ran to the phone inside. He picked up the phone and started to dial, but someone blocked the receiver. "What are you doing?" Miki asked.
"Calling a taxi for you. You're going home to Japan." Yuu responded.
"What? No!" Miki grabbed the phone away from Yuu.
"Go home Miki!" Yuu shouted.
"No!" Miki cried. "Not until I talk to you."
Yuu looked away, and then back at Miki. "I have nothing to say."
Miki still held on to the phone. "Even so, I have something to say to you. Please just listen to me. I'm not going back to Japan until you do."
Yuu looked away again, and then back at Miki.
"Absolutely," Miki said. "I'm not going back."
-:-:-
Yuu took Miki to the park where they could talk. He was faced away from Miki with his hand on a tree and he was almost leaning on it. "I told you how I feel," he said softly. "Why are you like this?"
Instead of responding Miki said, "I love you, Yuu."
"Miki—!"
"I tried to forget you!" Miki said before Yuu could say anymore. "I made an effort! But I couldn't. I can't forget. It's impossible too! I love you that much."
Yuu tried to ignore the feeling deep inside that was telling him to forget everything and embrace Miki in his arms.
Miki continued. "I remember what you said. That your feelings for me were gone, and you couldn't see me as a lover anymore."
"That's right," Yuu said, still faced away from her. "And they are the same now."
"And that's okay," Miki said. "I only came to tell you what was in my heart."
Yuu closed his eyes. Don't say it Miki…we must stay apart.
But Miki said it. "I love you, Yuu. I know that your feelings have changed. I don't know or understand why, but there's nothing I can do about it." Tears swelled up in Miki's eyes and threatened to fall. "But my feeling are the same. I can't change that, no matter how hard I try." Tears rolled down Miki's cheeks and dropped on the ground. "Yuu, I love you! I love you so much!"
Yuu couldn't take it. He spun around and yelled, "No!"
Miki noticed that tears were welled up in Yuu's eyes
"You and I can't be together!" He yelled. "You and I are siblings!"
Miki stepped back. What, we're…siblings?
Miki couldn't take this, so she ran. She ran away from Yuu and away from this place. She heard Yuu cry out her name, and if she didn't hurry, he would catch up. She quickly flagged down a taxi and quickly told the driver to take her to Manhattan. The driver obeyed, driving off and leaving Yuu in the dust.
-:-:-
Yuu couldn't believe it. Miki had run off in a taxi to who-knows-where. He had to find her but he couldn't find her by himself. He called his friends and the police. He gave the police a description of Miki and went into Brian's car with the rest of his friends to look along the streets for her.
-:-:-
Once Miki got out of the taxi she wandered along the sidewalk. Siblings…we're siblings? But…how? Why didn't he tell me? I can't believe this…
-:-:-
And couple came out of a nightclub completely drunk. They laughed and the man got in front of the wheel of their car. The woman got in the passenger seat. The man started down the street, the car swaying back in forth almost hitting nearby pedestrians. A woman, who almost got hit herself, grabbed the pay phone and called 911.
"Get me the police. There is a drunk driver heading down the street to Valero Avenue."
-:-:-
Miki was crossing the street of Valero Avenue. How could we be siblings? She was so caught up in her thoughts; she didn't hear the calls of "Watch out!" until it was too late.
-:-:-
Yuu was talking to the police officer and his partner. Yuu was telling the officer that he had looked on the streets near the post office but there was no sign of Miki. The officer was about to respond when his walkie-talkie sounded. "Officer Rodriguez, Officer Sanchez, we have a report of a drunk driver turning away from Valero Avenue. We need you to flag down the driver while we get an ambulance. A young teenage girl was run over by the driver. We don't know if she's alive or dead yet. Get on the case officers. Over and out."
Thinking the worst, Yuu ran in the direction of Valero Avenue with only one thought in his head. Miki…
"Follow him, Brian!" Jinny yelled. Brain nodded and followed him in his car.
---
Yuu stopped at the corner of Valero Avenue, Brian and the others just right behind him. There was a crowd around an ambulance, which was loading someone on a stretcher in the back. Yuu ran to the crowd, pushing his way through.
Brian and the others parked nearby and got out. Just as they got out, Officer Rodriguez and Officer Sanchez zipped past in their police car, their siren sounding. They drove past the crowd and turned the corner of Valero Avenue.
Yuu had pushed himself to the front of the crowd in time to get a glimpse of the girl being loaded. It was Miki.
