Chapter 1: The meeting under the moon
[Shun]
The full moon was calming and beautiful. Staring at it would make anyone lost track of time. Shun wasn't sure how long he had been sitting there idly.
He noticed someone walked casually out of the shadow. She was wearing a snow white dress. Shun could barely see the female figure from this distance. His curiosity was slightly getting the better of him, so was his fear of the unknown.
Shun finally rallied enough his courage after a while and walked towards the female figure.
"Hi?" Shun said as he was a foot or two away from the figure. The female figure turned around slowly. Her purple hair, tied in a double low ponytails, sway to the side. Her gentle turquoise eyes looked back at Shun and replied his greeting with a smile.
That moment carved into the memory of Shun as he stood there, awed by the beauty of the figure.
"I …" Shun stood there, unable to speak another word after he had spoken. If he ever saw an angel in his life, this is the first one.
The girl began to walk towards him. Shun's heart was racing faster as she got closer. Just as she stood right in front of him, his body began to lose strength and he fainted.
Or, he thought he had fainted …
Shun regained conscious and top half of body at the ground and the other on bed. "It was … a dream" Shun said with a slightly disappointment as he recovers from the ground. His plushie collections were all over the place
His laptop was still on with his internet browser full tabs. The papers were scattered all over the table and over the keypad on the laptop.
He let out a sigh and began cleaning up the place and packs his bag, getting ready for school.
As he does his daily mandatory stuff, he briefly looked at the mirror to comb his hair before closing the door, leaving for school.
As Shun walked towards the station to catch the next bus, he heard a small whining sound coming from the bush. Shun squatted down and noticed a fox cub looking back at him, hungry and scared.
Shun reached to his bag and took out his lunch. It was brown bag sushi. He placed two of them at the entrance of the bush carefully, making sure he didn't scared the fox cub.
The cub slowly emerges from the bush and began eating the food, still being cautious. After finishing the food, it let out a happy bark and looked at Shun. Shun gave more of his share of food before patting its head gently before leaving.
The bus arrived and the people inside it alighted. Shun stood there, waiting. The girl in his dream walked out with the crowd at the exit of the bus. The two of them didn't noticed presence of each other or made any eye contact.
Shun entered the bus and sat at the seat near the window as always. The two passed each other once again as the bus took off.
A group of girls waited for the girl that had alighted from the bus. "Nozomi-chan!" one of them called out, "We are going to be late!"
Nozomi replied with a smile as she hurried her steps. The group walked away as soon as Nozomi joined them, chatting happily as they head towards their destination.
The Cub sat there observing while eating the food given by Shun. It moved its tail happily from side to side before retreating back into the bush.
