Friends for Life

Prologue

I couldn't help but frown when I saw that fake smile on Hikari's face. He looks fake now, I thought just as I had on the plane. Maybe if he hadn't met her. Maybe then he would be happy-go-lucky as he used to be.

The brown haired fake happy-go-lucky boy was talking to his friends as if everything was great. "Did you meet any girls?" Asked the boy with his PET around his neck.

Suddenly, his eyes became sad and dull. "What's wrong Lan?" Asked the red haired girl. She placed her hand on his shoulder, but it was shoved off almost immediately.

"I'm going to go home. Mom is probably worried." Slowly he walked off, his head dropped, and his shoulders slumped.

She turned toward me. "What happened Chaud? What happened while you two were gone?" Her brown eyes were worried. "What happened to Lan?" She turned back around and watched as Lan walked off.

Slowly I shook my head. "I can't tell you Maylu. Lan wouldn't want me to." I walked in Hikari's direction, and slowly I followed him. If I told you, you wouldn't understand, and you wouldn't like it. Sorry.

Two weeks ago at the Graveyard in America

We stood in front of her grave. The rain was coming down steadily, and Hikari was on his knees. I held the black umbrella over him as I shoved one of my hands into my pocket. In front of the stone grave were flowers and a picture of us three. She stood in between Hikari and myself smiling as usual. Her arms were draped around us and her brown hair was down for the first time in a lifetime. "It was the first and only picture of her that she didn't have her hair up and wasn't wearing black and white." Whispered the brown haired boy.

I nodded and picked up the blue headband that he had laid on the ground. It was covered in mud and was drenched. "I know." I shivered slightly. "Let's go Hik…Lan, you'll catch a cold."

Hesitantly, he nodded. Without a word he stood, but he wouldn't accept the headband that I tried to hand to him.

"Come on Lan, I'll take us to get some curry." I told him with a small smile.

Hikari shook his head violently. "I'm not hungry. Let's just go to the apartment, you can get some curry."

My frown was back in a millisecond. "Alright then. We'll go back to the apartment. We need some rest anyway." As we walked through the rain I looked up at the cloudy sky. The moon was almost covered by the dark clouds. Why did this have to happen now?

That night Lan sat in bed with a frown that engulfed his old smile. Protoman and Megaman were worried, yet I kept telling myself that he would be all right. To tell the truth I was worried about him too. My eyes closed tightly and I clenched my fists. "You aren't the only one sad." I whispered.

No answer.

"Didn't you hear me?" I yelled my eyes opened and I glared at him. "You aren't the only one sad about her death!"

The brown haired netop flinched.

"You're just making everyone sad around you La…Hikari!" I refrained myself from speaking his first name. "If you are forgetting, I was related to her by blood. She was my sister Hikari. So get over it! I'm tired of seeing you sad. Seeing you look out the window every day with that same face on." Suddenly I turned around away from him. "You may have liked her, but it's enough. In two weeks we are going back to DenTech. So get over it."
