Blast From the Past, Blast to the Present

Memories

Haru always thought it would last, but to her dismay it didn't. Rin left her, heartbroken and lonely. Though only kids, she learned to live with the pain. Now seven years later he's back but no longer the boy she knew.

Fem!Haru/Rin


"I won't be attending middle school here," said a small boy with hair of a dark shade of red.

A young female with dark blue hair and young boy with green hair looked up at the boy who had just spoken, a look of confusion upon their face.

"W-what do you mean?" The green haired boy asked, taking side glances at the female next to him who looked as expressionless as ever.

"I'm going to Australia, they have a swim school that I'll be attending too," the boy explained, a wide grin graced his lips.

The female let her head drop, looking at a brick wall in front of them that was full of writing by the trio plus another member who wasn't present at that moment. "Why...?" Was all that left her mouth, not looking up at him.

Looking at the girl, the red head smiled and did a thumbs up at her. "I'm going to become an Olympic swimmer," he chirped.

"But what about the relay?" The other male asked, worry lacing his words.

"Don't worry Mako I'm leaving the day after," he smiled, hoping to set him at some ease.

After he said that he noticed the expression, or lack of, upon the girls features knowing she wasn't taking it well. "Hey Haru?" The boy spoke, hope in his eyes.

For the first time in that period, Haru looked at the boy curiosity in her eyes. "Yes Rin?" She asked rather bluntly.

"Let's swim in the medley 'Kay?" Rin responded, sticking his fist out towards the girl.

"I only swim freestyle," she mumbled to the young male, ignoring the fist.

Chuckling, Rin shook his head and smiled to Mako before looking at Haru. "That's why you have to swim the relay," he countered, bringing his fist down knowing that she wouldn't return it.

"And if you swim with me, I'll show you a sight you've never seen before."


As the scene played throughout the females mind, Haruka sunk lower into the bathtub which she was relaxing in with her knee length body swimsuit. As her mouth was under the water, she began to blow bubbles randomly staring at the surface of the water.

'I wonder how he's going...' She began to think mindlessly before hearing a doorbell ring throughout the house.

Groaning to herself, she pulled herself out of the tub and began to dry herself off. Once she was done, she grabbed a jacket upon the bathroom counter and put it on before heading towards the door where the doorbell continued to ring.

"I'm coming," the girl mumbled to no one in particular.

Once reaching the door, she looked through the peeping hole and sighed already knowing who the visitor was. As she opened the door, Haru gave Mako a bit of a glare.

"And as normal you look excited to see me," Makoto said with some sarcasm in his voice.

"What do you want?" Haru asked rather annoyed with the interruption.

Walking back inside, Mako followed her in after shutting the door, a chuckle escaping his lips.

"Can't I visit my cousin?" The boy asked, looking at the girl expectantly.

Though it didn't really look like it, what he said was true. The duo were cousins from Haru's mothers side. Mako's father was the older brother of Haru's mum and was also her beloved uncle. Being an only child, Haru never knew what it was like to have siblings but she was always close to her cousin and to her, he was her older brother.

"Nope," was the blunt reply, as she began making his favourite green tea. "Now what's up?"

Sighing, Mako seated himself upon a chair close to her. "Haru you've been different since that day..." He replied, putting emphasis on 'that'. "I just don't like how you've changed in personality," he admitted.

Biting her bottom lip, Haruka looked at her older cousin, a sigh escaping her lips. "I'm fine Mako honestly," she tried to assure him, pouring the tea into two cups and handing him one of them.

Nodding in gratitude, Mako took a small sip of the warm liquid before looking back at her. "No you're not, and you know it."

Haru knew he was right, nothing had been the same since that dreadful day in primary school. But she didn't want to admit it, not wanting to bring up painful memories though it was rather hypocritical seeing as how she would always day dream about it.

"Can we not talk about it please...?" She asked softly, letting a finger trace the rim of her cup unconsciously.

Mako was about to respond to what she had said before a soft vibration came from his front pocket. Taking out the vibrating phone, he pressed 'answer' and began to talking to the person on the other side.

Haru didn't mind the small interruption, helping her out by not talking about her most hated subject for a conversation. But soon Mako took the phone from his ear, sighing.

"Sorry that was mum, she wants me home," he smiled softly, but frowned when he saw her shake her head.

Normally that smile meant, 'Come over for dinner?' Or something along those lines, but Haru had always declined. But it wasn't anyone's fault but fate's as that one night changed the rest of her life for the worse.

Mako never liked it when she declined but knew better then to press the matter. "Well I guess I better go then, but Haru I'm always here for you whether you want to believe it or not," he smiled and stood up and walked over, giving the female a hug which she returned eagerly.

"See ya cuz," she said with slight happiness. Hugs from Mako were one of her weaknesses but she would never let him know that.

Ruffling the female's hair, he laughed. "See ya," he replied, walking towards the door. "Oh and don't always spend your time in the bath," Mako called before leaving the building.

Shaking her head, she picked up the two cups and placed them in the sink, giving them a rinse before walking up to her room. "That's something I can't agree to," she mused to herself.


Watching as Mako left the house, a shadow moved away from Haru's house. As the frame of a young male began to walk through the darkened streets, a smirk was planted along his lips as his red orbs were narrowed, making him look rather menacing and mean.

While he walked down the streets, people looked at him with either terrified or confusion on their face, but he ignored all of it.

After some time of walking in silence he felt a familiar buzz in his back pocket. Unsure of who would be ringing him, the male took out his phone seeing the familiar call I.D of his sister.

Sighing he pressed answer and placed the phone against his ear. "What do you want Gou," he grumbled over the phone.

"Nice too talk to you to Rin," she replied sarcastically.

Rolling his eyes, he made a turn and found a free bench on which he sat himself upon. "I'll ask again, what do you want?"

There was a frustrated groan on the other end of the phone, "You're in Japan now aren't you?" Was all the female asked.

"Yeah, I'm on my way home now," Rin replied somewhat softer than before.

Though he was a tough guy, Rin could never get pissed at his sister, but he could get really annoyed at her. But he did love to annoy her by calling her Gou instead of Kou. He loved his family very much, as he was the only male in their household after his father's death. So taking care of his mother and sister was a job he enjoyed, though his mother wasn't exactly pleased to hear how long he would be away in another country.

"Really? Great! Mum's really desperate to see you," Kou responded, excitement obvious in her voice.

Smiling to himself, he didn't respond instead he just laughed a bit.

"And by the way, you should call her... She's been in a slump ever since then," she added, trying to word her sentences nicely.

Knowing immediately who his sister meant, his face dropped. "Yeah whatever," was all he replied, when in all honesty he couldn't and wouldn't bring himself to do it.

"I know you're not going to, but at least consider it, love you nii-san, see ya when you get here," and with that the call ended, leaving a rather confused Rin staring at his phone.

Cursing to himself, he looked around him finding that many shops were closing for the night to get some rest. And Rin was tempted to follow their lead but what his sister told him kept ringing in his head.

Giving his phone a slight glance, he sighed and opened up his contacts looking through them till he found a bluenette's number. As his thumb hovered over the call button, his mind raced with arguments to ring or not to ring, but seeing how he'd got this far he decided on the former.

Pressing the call button, he brought the phone to his ear and waited nervously for the female to pick up her phone.


As she entered her bedroom, Haru fell upon her comfortable bed looking at the dresser next to her which had a valuable item of hers placed upon it.

A picture of Rin, Mako, another old friend of her's Nagisa and herself standing in front of their favourite old oak tree smiling at the camera, a picture they took at the start of their last year in primary.

As Haru laid there, letting the memories flow through her mind she began to drift off, her eyes closing ever so slowly before falling asleep conpletely. As she fell asleep though, she did not hear her own phone buzzing upon her desk as the screen lit up with it showing the caller I.D 'Rin Matsuoka'.


Sighing to himself, as he reached the female's voicemail he hung up and headed towards his home.

'Knowing her she'd probably be in some form of water,' he mused to himself, laughing at the antics of Haru.

As Rin walked through the streets that seemed so familiar yet so different, he looked through out the scenary before him until he reached the driveway he knew so well. As he stood there, flashbacks from his childhood flooded his mind but he shook them away. Walking up the driveway, he walked up the steps toward the door before knocking on the door softly.

After a few seconds, the door swung open and Rin was hugged rather tightly but a shorter girl with the same shade hair as himself.

"Nii-san!" Kou cried out, hugging the life out of him as the male began to slightly suffocate.

After entangling himself from his sisters grasp, he patted her head softly chuckling. "Hey sis," he said softly, as he guided her inside their home.

Looking around the lounge room and kitchen he frowned slightly and Kou immediately knew why as her face fell slightly. "Mum couldn't come home tonight, she was called for a longer shift..." she told him softly.

After Rin left for Australia, their mother had to do all that she could to keep her daughter in school, their home and just food for them to eat. In saying that she began working late hours and overtime which kept them rather well off but their mother didn't want to risk it and continued her job.

"It's fine," he assured softly, wrapping his arm round her shoulders as his version of a hug. "Anyway I'm rather tired, so I'm gonna sleep night Gou!"

And with that he disappeared into his room, leaving a rather confused and slightly annoyed Kou in the lounge room. "My name's not Gou," she grumbled loudly before entering her own room.


Once settling back into his old room, Rin laid himself upon his bed which was neatly made. Looking around the familiar room he spotted a certain picture upon his desk. Standing up he walked over to the picture frame as his eyes turned into a bitter-sweet look. The picture was of the relay team was in with Haru, Mako and Nagisa after they won first place.

"Heh..." he laughed slightly placing it back down before heading back to his bed. Sitting upon it, he placed his phone next to his pillow before laying his head onto said pillow. Letting his eyes do a quick scan of the room once more, he closed his eyes and let the darkness overcome him as he slept peacefully through the night.
