Run To You

Hello All.

This has spoilers, so don't say I didn't warn you.

This is my first fan fiction and it took me a little while to write, so I hope that all of you like it as much as I do. The Chapters will be updated as soon as I can, but when you're actually commenting about it…please don't be TOO harsh :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Pita Ten

Chapter One: When the World Changed

Four years have passed since I've seen her. Four years without her smiling face, her love, and never ending warmth. Four long years without her positive attitude to always bring me up when I was down. But I know she watches over me, and that she's still here, even though I can no longer see her.

But sometimes, I regret my decision. I long to see her happy face and to hear everything she has to say, although it probably wouldn't make much sense. I want to show her how much I've changed and tell her about the new things I have learned over these few years…without my angel.

"Kotarou…you've got to stop daydreaming in random places, it's unhealthy," Said Uematsu, in her immeasurable knowledge voice. Her small fingers were snapping in Kotarou's face, as if she were to try to awaken him from a trance.

Four years has done wonders for Uematsu, ever since she got rid of her cat ears, everything started to look up for her. Her long, golden hair was still as beautiful as before, but it seemed to sway like a gentle breeze in a willow tree when she walked. Her once innocent violet eyes were much deeper and were completely smoldering, as if she could easily consume souls. The rest of her body filled out nicely, and a lot of people seemed to take notice. She would get love letter after love letter confessing how much a random person loved her, even though they most likely have never talked to each other.

Kotarou, on the other hand was almost Uematsu's equivalent when it came to looks. His violet locks were still covering some of his face, but shined slightly whenever he moved his head. His golden eyes would change depending on his mood. For example, they became a deep gold when he was upset, a shining gold when he was feeling happy and a dull gold when he was upset. Some people found him predictable because of his strange eyes, but Kotarou never really cared that much about what others thought of him. Many girls seemed to notice his uncommon beauty and seemed to stop in their tracks whenever he walked by, to them, he was a mysterious strange boy…and they didn't even know the half of it.

However, on this particular day, Uematsu and Kotarou were waiting for none other than the famous Takashi Ayanokoji and the still quite nerdy Hiroshi Mitarai. The two of them seemed to always be late, Takashi was usually because he had to, yet again, break another girls' heart, and Hiroshi just had to finish a book of some sort. So poor little Kotarou had to suffer the rants of Uematsu all by himself.

It's really almost soon isn't it? The day that she left me, the day that I decided to move on with my life, I can't even believe myself for regretting...but it's a natural human emotion so I should just get over it…but…

Kotarou was once again lost in his thoughts in the small tea house that they were currently sitting in, thinking about that day...

"Kotarou! Did you hear what I said?" shouted Uematsu, once again. This time she was getting really annoyed, which was not very good for Kotarou's case, "Kotarou, can't you pay attention like a civilized person, and actually listen to what I have to say?!"

"Oh…sorry Uematsu, my mind is just somewhere else," Kotarou said with a genuine smile, eyes glittering.

Uematsu immediately fell silent, how could someone be so mean to a person with a smile like his? She smiled too, although it wasn't as stunning as his, it was her version of an apology to her Kotarou. At that moment, she started to recall the days when she liked him so much, more than anyone she has ever liked, and that had never changed, even four years later. The thing was that she couldn't ever stop liking him as much as she did, because everyday he seemed to grow even more astonishing—in the good kind of way.

"Sorry I'm so late!" Laughed Takashi as he interrupted the silence, "I would've been here on time if I didn't have to go send my apologies to some girl today." He said as if it weren't flattering, but annoying.

"I hope you were nice about it this time. Last time, you made that poor girl cry," Stated Uematsu in her all-knowing tone.

"I really didn't mean to do that! I just told her I didn't like her and then all of the sudden it felt like someone turned on the sprinklers…" Ten-chan said in a now very thoughtful tone, he was one of those people that seemed to care about everyone.

"You still could've been a little nicer." Uematsu said, hating to be proved wrong.

Ten-chan gave out a small laugh, his eyes were dancing. Takashi was one of those people who have always been beautiful, and he had stayed beautiful throughout four years' worth of growing up. Even the upperclassmen were knew of his elegance, and would tell him of it in every way possible. His profound green eyes seemed to shine in whatever mood he was in, but that mood was usually happy. His hair had gotten lighter, to a pale, almost platinum blond which was very strange, especially on a Japanese boy. He was taller than Kotarou, stronger, and faster than him as well, but the two still stayed extremely good friends through it all. Deep in his heart, Takashi knew that he could never let go of Kotarou.

"Hey, Kotarou, why so silent?" asked Takashi, adverting his eyes so that it met Kotarou's golden ones.

Kotarou, again, flashed his one of a kind smile, "You probably know why."

This stumped Takashi, he didn't want to think about the two that left them, even though their anniversaries weren't that far away. He didn't want to think about sadness when he had moved on; it was a vow that he had made to himself after…they left.

Uematsu knew what the two were talking about and didn't like the idea of wanting Shia and Misha back; although they were never mean to her, she felt completely left out when they were around. Misha was always hanging around Kotarou, so Uematsu never had the alone time she wanted with him because he was always "busy". Uematsu felt as though it wasn't fair that Kotarou could like some strange girl so fast and spend all of his time with her, while she had known him for a while. I'm not being selfish. Uematsu said to herself while contemplating on something to say, she really didn't like where the conversation was going, so she felt as though she had to stop it somehow.

"They're gone, so there's nothing left to say about them." Uematsu said in a tense voice, she was completely serious.

Kotarou and Ten-chan looked at her with disbelief, but none of them said a word. They hadn't known about what she had been through doing the time when Misha and Shia were around, in fact they didn't pay that much attention to her. Of course they were together like always, but the never seemed to hear what she had to say.

"You know that Mish—"Kotarou started, before being rapidly cut off by Uematsu.

"They're not coming back." Uematsu said, her face reddening, but it wasn't because of anger.

"How could you say something like that…you didn't even give them a chance" Ten-chan said chiming in.

"Stop talking about them," Uematsu said, voice quavering.

"It's almost their anniver—"Kotarou started once again, and again he was cut off by Uematsu.

"They didn't do anything for you two! You hung on to every single word they said, but in the end they just left you…"she began trailing off, because small tears were forming in her violet eyes. She was too proud of a person to actually let herself cry in front of people, in attempt to hold back the tears, she bit her bottom lip.

"Why do you even care that much?" Asked Takashi coolly.

"Because if they…were…to come back…I wouldn't…" matter anymore. Uematsu thought, she couldn't bear the thought of saying something like that out loud. She was also mad at herself to be brought to tears that fast, but during that time that Shia and Misha were there, she felt such a terrible loneliness…

"You wouldn't what?" Asked Kotarou, in an extremely gentle voice. He placed his hand on top of Uematsu's as a way of consoling her.

Uematsu swallowed her tears and smiled, "Nothing…I was just overreacting that's all…" she said looking down, and ashamed that she could never seemed to tell him or Ten-chan about how she felt during the time Shia and Misha were around.

"If you say so," Ten-chan said looking at Uematsu, trying to read her facial expressions to see if she was lying or not. It was kind of a talent Takashi had, but for some reason it never seemed to work on Uematsu…or Kotarou for that matter even with his strange eyes.

An awkward silence took control of the air, Kotarou and Ten-chan did not seem to know what they should say to make Uematsu feel better because they thought that Uematsu liked Shia and Misha when they were around. Uematsu, on the other hand, was feeling ashamed for holding in her feelings, once again.

"Look, let's just drop it…" Kotarou said trying to change the subject, although he thought that was a pathetic attempt to smooth things over, he knew that both parties involved were not sorry simply because the subject seemed to be a bit too touchy. He released his hand from Uematsu's and placed it in his lap.

"Yeah, seriously. It's not like it matters that much anyway…" Ten-chan began, "Besides, as soon as Mitari gets here we can finally hang out like we always used to, it seems like forever since we've all been together. It should be nice." Takashi added as a final note.

Like always, on cue, Mitari entered with a dramatic air about him. "You know, you guys flatter me too much." He said examining the table with surprised faces.

"Oh, well we weren't expecting you to be here so soon actually…" started Uematsu, staring at Kotarou's elegant face; but he was, of course, looking at Mitari.

"And we weren't really talking about you like that." said Takashi in a flat voice, but it didn't seem to phase Mitari.

"Anyway, I brought the book about demons that you asked for, Takashi. It was extremely difficult, but I think that your idea will work." said Mitari, seriously now.

Uematsu looked at Mitari, while Kotarou began nodding, what's going on? She thought.

"Thanks really. Did it say anything about the procedure?" asked Takashi who was in nerd mode.

"I think it's in the text somewhere, but I didn't have much time to look at it, it seems like we'd have to actually translate it. The copy that I found was in Latin, here look," Mitari voiced while looking into his school bag, he took out an old book that seemed to have been in use many times. It was leather bound and had mysterious markings on it in bronze.

"How did you get that?" shouted Kotarou, "It looks so official…you didn't steal it or anything…right?"

"Of course not, I wouldn't risk my life's career over something for Takashi, I actually found it." Mitari stated looking at Kotarou.

Takashi humphed and looked at the mysterious text. Uematsu was staring wide eyed at everything, not understanding what was going on. She was being left out once again but this time Shia and Mischa weren't even there. Maybe there's something wrong with me...she thought to herself but quickly put that thought in the back of her mind, she needed to find out what was going on.

"Explain." She said sternly looking at Takashi and Mitari talking; they're not leaving me out this time. I will not let them.Takashi and Mitari looked at Uematsu as Mitari placed the book on the small table, and sat next to Takashi.

Kotarou was lost in his thoughts. I will get you back. I promise.
