Prologue
The bus doors slid open, admitting a swarm of people into the storm. Umbrellas bloomed like violets under the rain as the people rushed past each other, hurrying towards another bus. The brown-haired woman scurried off the bus and opened her own umbrella, which was bright white against the sea of dark. She sat down on the sheltered bus stop, listening to nothing in particular.
Yuki wrapped his silver trenchcoat tighter around him as he sat down next to the woman. Bus eight would be arriving soon. He didn't want to be late for work...
"Yun-chan?"
"Eh?" Yuki turned his head to meet the mahogany-colored eyes of the woman, that woman who looked so familiar somehow. She was staring at him in unflattering disbelief. How did she know his name, anyway?
"Y... Yun-chan," she stammered. "It's... you."
"Eh?" Yuki repeated. What? Did he steal something from her, or something? No, nothing like that...
"Yun-chan, I found you," the woman mumbled, her head hung low with the weight of her sorrow. Her shoulders shook as she worked subconsciously to distract herself by playing with her braid.
"Um... excuse me, have we met?" Yuki's brow furrowed itself in confusion.
The woman threw her head up towards him, desperation burning in her large, innocent-looking eyes. "Yun-chan!" she exclaimed. "Yuki Sohma! How can... you not remember me?! Please!"
Yuki didn't say anything, for lack of understanding. The woman gasped for breath, departing into the wind and rain outside the bus stop. It was impossible to tell if she was crying; her face was already drenched with rainwater.
Yuki picked up the white umbrella the woman had left behind, failing to notice that bus eight had came and went. There was an unfamiliar name on the inside.
There was an onigiri embroidered on the front.
Author's Note: Hi, peoples. It's me again, hoping to gain some recognition with my new fic, "Erased by Time." As you can see, Yuki doesn't remember who this person is. And who, you might ask, is this person? Well, take a guess. By the way, if alexandra-kyoko is reading this, I just want to say that YOU ARE AWESOME!
