Prologue
Kei's body shuddered, he clearly felt his body, but it was a strange feeling for him.
He stood up and looked around the view around him. It was a pleasant green plain, just green grass as far as the eye can see. And somehow this view was so nostalgic to Kei.
As his eyes carefully scans through the horizon, he notice a white thing that looked like dress fluttered by the wind breeze.
Before he even knew when, Kei was already walking towards that white object. And as he getting closer and closer, he notices a beautiful figure under that white dress.
"Finally we meet."
The voice of that girl carried well by the wind, like a combination of a morning birds singing with the joyous bell of a church.
She turns around and reveals her gorgeous figure to Kei's eyes. She gave out a refreshing smile.
Her delicate smooth white skin goes in with a perfect balance with the snow white color of her dress. At the top of her head lies a brown straw hat with a red ribbon neatly attached to it, and under that hat are the jet-black hair which extends to her waist. The gentle breeze made her whole figure looked like a princess in her holiday.
Kei was astonished by the beauty that he forgot to blink, and the very person who made him like that notice it.
*giggle* "You're funny."
The girl sudden reaction snaps Kei out of his amazement.
"Ah! S-sorry." apologize Kei as fast as he could.
But his apologizing attempt was replied by another giggle; it seems that she is rather amused by the way Kei is reacting.
"There is no need for you apologize." said that girl again with a smile.
"My bad," said Kei. "But what is this place?"
After Kei finally be able to hold his mind in place, he couldn't help to ask that kind of question, which is a little rude. But that girl didn't show any sign of anger, instead she answer with gentle voice.
"We're in your dream, Kei. This is a scene within your memories that I found the most lovely." the girl said as she turn her eyes and gaze to the infinite sky.
'No wonder it feels so nostalgic, but why I can't remember this kind of scenery?' Kei thought to himself.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I have failed to introduce myself." said the girl quite suddenly. "My name is Sherry."
Sherry, what a peculiar name, or at least it is what Kei is thinking. Yet, somehow that name rings something in his head, but again like the scenery of that place, he can't remember anything at all.
"You must have questioned as to why I have visited you in your dream, isn't it?"
No, that's not it. Kei wasn't slightly thinking to that extent, given the beauty that was appeared at the front of him has already clogged the gear of his mind.
"I see… That's a little disappointing."
She said that like she was able to thoroughly read Kei's mind.
Sherry tilted her head aside with a disappointed expression hanging on her face, she then close her eyes for a moment.
Kei who were silent for quite some time finally imparts his lips.
"Who are you, Sherry?"
Kei's question somehow startled Sherry for a bit, but that surprised expression only last for a while, and the next second she had already return to her gentle smile. But somehow there is this dark feeling behind the bright smile of hers.
"My time here is almost up; it is time for us to part." Sherry said with a sad tone.
"But I haven't- !?"
Kei words were abruptly interrupted by the sudden gust of wind that almost flew him off the ground. But strangely inside that gust Sherry is still standing calmly as if there is no such thing like such a wind near her at all.
"Please take care of me the next time we meet. Goodbye."
With every word that she said, the wind gust getting stronger and stronger, making it hard for Kei to even keep his feet on the ground, and then finally Sherry's lips move for once again. Kei consciousness was swept slowly, but he can still hear that word clearly.
"Goodbye, for now."
