Forgotten Feelings
It was raining in Namimori. The streetlights were on and lit in the dark afternoon. There were no people in park except for a girl. She sat on one of the swings. Her short white hair wet from the rain and the bangs covered her eyes. The black jacket and blue jeans were dirty and wet.
She thought that she would be alone in the park but she didn't expect a boy running to the park. His brown hair was messy and wet too. The girl saw that he wore the Namimori school uniform. He didn't have an umbrella and he was panting pretty hard. She couldn't see his well because it was too dark to see any details from him.
Said brunette was looking for a shelter from the rain. His Spartan tutor Reborn forced him to run 10 laps around Namimori. And now it was raining. He had no luck at all. He frantically looked around the park and spotted the girl with white hair. Both of them looked at each other until the female stood up from the swing and made her way to Tsuna. Tsuna expected hits and insults since everyone knew him as No-good Tsuna. So he closed his eyes and waited. But none of that came. Tsuna opened his eyes and was shocked. The white haired girl was standing before him. In her hans a blue umbrella. Tsuna looked at the umbrella and then at the girl. He didn't know what to do now.
The white haired girl just stared at the brunette and didn't say anything. Tsuna looked once again in her eyes and saw honest and concerned eyes looking back at him. He was speechless. A total stranger was offering him an umbrella. He still hesitated taking the umbrella. And then there was silence between the two except the pouring rain that fell from the sky.
"Just take it" The girl broke the awkward silence with her monotone voice. Tsuna stared at her in confusion. Why would she give him her umbrella? Is it a trap or an enemy? He had no idea.
"Why would want to give it to me?" He asked. The white haired girl sighed and answered.
"It seems that you need it more than me. "
"But it's raining. If I take your umbrella you will catch a cold." Tsuna retorted.
"But if I don't give it to you, you will catch a cold." The girl countered back.
In the end they had to share it and the girl had to stay at Tsuna's house for the night since he didn't want her to catch a cold. So she had no choice but to agree. On the way to the Sawada household, those two introduced to each other. Tsuna looked at Tsumi Itami. She had pure white hair that reached just above her shoulders. Her eyes were blood red. No emotions were seen in them. She was the same height as Tsuna but looked more mature than him.
"Itami-san told me that she likes crafting especially with wood. But isn't it a bit unusually for a girl to do something like that? Well she IS weird in her own way. Who would sit on a swing while it rain?" Tsuna thought.
"What are you staring at Sawada?" Itami said coldly but her eyes were still emotionless.
"E-eto. How s-should I say it? Well…" Tsuna said nervously.
"Spit it out." Was the short answer.
"I w-wanted to ask w-why you were sitting on the swing a-alone?"He asked, voice trailing off.
At first there was silence but after a while the white hair answered.
"I always sit there if it rains. I don't really know why but I have the feeling that the rains always starts if I am in pain or just lonely. The rain soothes my body. My empties itself and I feel save. Save from the cruel world and myself."
Tsuna said nothing and listened in silence. While Itami told him those things he looked in her eyes. He could see that she was honest with her answer. Tsuna looked at the road again. Even though Itami looks emotionless and cold, she has a soft place. Maybe even a fragile person. She said that she liked it to be alone, but wants someone beside her and comforts her not giving up on life. Tsuna wants to protect his friends and beside him was a friend with an injured heart.
