Chapter 1 - Dear Kohaku

6-4-2009
Dear Kohaku,

Hey there. Long time no see, ne? Listen, I'll just get straight to the point. It's been almost TWO YEARS since our last encounter, and I'm beginning to think...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I swallowed, choosing my words carefully. You see, I was writing the way I would speak to him. Let's just say that my idle chat jar was just about empty. In my mind, I was screaming 'You TEME!'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

...you forgot about me.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was at that point when I noticed the paper was getting wet. I was crying. "Damn it all!" I threw the letter aside and flopped down onto my bed, blubbering like a baby for what felt like hours.

"Why didn't you come for me like you promised? Did you really forget?" I cried myself to sleep that night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, I woke up before my alarm clock went off. I had undoubtedly just had yet another dream about him. Quickly, memories of the night before flooded my mind.

"I knew I should never have gotten that diary." I almost started to cry again. "Haku..."

A/N: (sigh) I know its reeeeally short, but hey, it's my first chapter of my first story. So please cut me some slack. I'm just about ready to start my second chapter, and it's finally vacation, so I'll most likely be able to update more often. Also, I would like to give thanks to my beta, BlackxRose19, for her help. Without her, I probably wouldn't have the courage to post this.

P.S.: I am Only Pieces, but someone – cough, cough my mother cough, cough – hacked all my accounts and changed all of my passwords! Sorry, had a moment, but I had to make a new email and the whole nine yards!
