Never Again

Never promise to things that you can't keep. Yoh couldn't count how many times he had heard that from his mother when he was younger. The memory had been locked up until Ren set it free.

'Will you promise to stay with me forever?'Horo's voice echoed in his mind.Why didn't Ren say yes? Why didn't he answer him?

Not too long after, Ren had a huge fight with Hao-alone, because he was heading back to China. It was not a question of who won, it was obviously Hao. All of us were in pain, of losing a dear friend, and to Horo, losing his love.

'Why!' He had screamed after Ren's wake. 'Why did he leave me? Why didn't he promise to stay?' By then, Horo was crying like the world's end, and we all felt das for him-even Anna.

But the one who stopped Horo's crying was suprisingly me, and not Anna.'He couldn't promise you something he couldn't accomplish.'

As I walked passed him, Horo clenched his fists.'Never again...'

I had my hand on the door and was sliding it open.'Never again will I-'

I was already outside, leaning on the screen door. Horo's words were lost between sobs.

As I stared at the grey sky and transparent rain, another memory arouse. Looking at the quiet empty hallway was so dreary. I suddenly saw us---Horo, Ren, and I. We were fooling around as always, Ren quietly cursing and blushig, Horo's nonstop talking, and I-I realized how much I loved Ren. Not the love relationship between Horo and Ren, but the love you have for a friend, no matter what you say about him, that person will always be there for you. A soft 'dipp' from the pond brought me out of my trance. How I wished I could just stay there forever, but like the rain, you have to move on, the moon will soon come out and shine on the water. Her rays telling you to move on, and never look back, but to also never forget your past. To remember your pains, to remember your sorrows, your happiness, your joy, all of those will help you become stronger, so treasure every moment, every second you have, because those are most precious.

Unknowingly, a tear rolled down my face. I sighed and quickly wiped it away, and took one last look at the garden before walking alone down the epmty hallway. No, not alone, I have all my memories of them---the ones I can truely call friends.


Me: Well, I hope it was okay...
