Hello everyone! This is my first attempt of making a story with an OC… I know most of you are not very fond of fics with OC's but I really hope you'd give this a shot… I do hope you would read and review:)

Chapter 1: Through the Telescope
The sky was clear that day… The stars were so visible and it was so wonderful to look at. It looked like jewels in the sky… shining to their brightness, glimmering to their beauty.
One thing I realized about the stars was that… they were so beautiful… but there is one thing that I am sure of… that I can never reach those stars no matter how hard I try… Not even my data can help me reach the stars. That was how I felt when I lost her… she was up so high where she was out of reach… and all I can do is to look above… and remember her… reminisce her image and relive the moments of love that we spent together.
Everything began because of those wonderful celestial things…

Inui's PoV
It was already 6:00 pm. I carried my telescope and started to set off to the abandoned observatory somewhere in the city. As I walked my way to my destination, I felt the odd sensation of the wind blowing past my skin. It seemed that the wind was telling me something, which of course, I could not decipher…
By the time I reached there, I set up my belongings as briskly as I can so I wouldn't waste much time. And then, I peeked into the lens and looked at the sky. Many constellations were visible, and one of them was the Orion's belt. I changed the direction of the telescope and I saw a satellite. I took out my special notebook and listed down the third satellite that I saw this month.
"Ii data…"
Again, I looked into the telescope and changed the direction. This time, I looked down at the busy street… the bridge… and…
"Masaka…!" I exclaimed. I adjusted the lens. "Is that… a girl on the gutter???"

OC's pov
As I was standing on the gutter, I was developing second thoughts on what to do. If I will jump on this bridge, I will only suffer once… but if I don't, I will suffer for a longer time… But either way, my final destination will be death.
I was torn in between my thoughts but I had decided… I didn't waste my efforts of coming here for nothing…
"I must jump… for the better…"

Inui's povIt was the first time I was this scared. I wasn't frightened for my own sake but for another's. That girl was about to commit suicide for Christ's sake!
I hurriedly ran to the bridge before that girl will meet her doom. By the time I arrived there, the girl was about to let go of the rails…
I ran to her and grabbed her hand.
"Miss!!! Don't… please…" I said, panting out of the exhaustion from running and nervousness.
"Let go of me!!" She said, sobbing.
"I won't! Miss, suicide won't solve your problems!" I retorted.
"Urusei!!! You don't know anything!!! You don't know how much I had suffered!"
I was taken aback by that statement… but still, I did not let go of her hand. Letting go of her meant that I was part of her murder.
"For the last time… LET GO!!"
"There is a 100 percent chance that Kami-sama won't accept you in heaven if you pursue this," I said.
"Like the hell I care!! All I want is to jump off this freakin' bridge and die!!"
"Damn it…" I cursed under my breath. "Miss, I can't leave you here to die this way. If you want to die then wait for your time! I know that you're not ready to die like this!"
The girl paused. After a few moments, she faced me. I was surprised. I could barely imagine that a wonderful, precious jewel was about to be crushed by speeding cars. In years, I never thought I would see a beautiful face such as hers.
"You're right…" She said, with a tear falling down her almond eyes. "I have to face the reality… that today is not yet my time."
I sighed in relief. "Yokatta…"
She smiled at me. "Arigato… for helping me… but…"
"But…?"
"Please help me out of this… gutter." She said.
"Yoro konde..." I said as I helped her up.
She was struggling her way in… and after a few minutes of struggling, she successfully made her way on the bridge… but she landed on top of me though…
I was kind of shocked because it was the first time that a girl was on top of me… It feels so strange… and kind of awkward.
She abruptly stood up. "I'm so sorry about that. It was my klutziness again…"
"It's all right," I said, as I adjusted my glasses.
"You really look familiar… I think I have seen you before… may I know your name?" She said.
"Inui Sadaharu."
"Oh right! You're the one from Seigaku who defeated Yanagi-kun!! I'm Sadahashi Mishika from Rikkaidai."
She extended her hand. "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu…" She said, flashing a heart-warming smile.
I took her hand. "Yoroshiku."
A short silence enveloped us. There is some awkwardness between us but I really have to break the ice.
"Sadahashi-san, may I ask you something?" I said.
"Go ahead."
I cleared my throat. "Why did you think of ending your own life?"
Silence. The wind once again blew gently.
I looked at her. Tears escaped again from her eyes. I felt kind of guilty for asking that question.
"Gomen for being so rude… I don't have the right to invade your privacy."
She wiped her tears. She then stood up and grabbed my hand. "Come with me."
For the third time that day, I was surprised. "Where?"
"To my sanctuary of agony."
