The snow kept falling. It didn't care about anything in the world. It just kept falling. The gray sky that blocked out the sun seemed to fit the scene, how ironic…

There was a stumble, and a weak Mai could be seen, tired and fighting to keep moving, to keep her eyes open. Her eyes were so dull, so lifeless…all they wanted to do was to close, but she wouldn't let them. Her body trembled, weakly being able to still support itself. Why, oh why did this have to happen? Why did Naru have to be so cruel?

Her attire consisted of a wool sweater, a pair of pink fuzzy ear muffs, red and white gloves, a light blue skirt with black stockings, and red snow boots, but it seemed like it wasn't enough, the warmth kept seeping away from her, like it was being sucked away. She couldn't keep it in.

She looked up weakly at the dull sky. The snow still kept falling. Weakly, she held out her hands in front of her openly, catching snowflakes that landed and soon disappeared. Her eyes agonizingly kept staring up at the gray clouds. Her lips, now a deep purple, began to quiver. She felt numb. Her legs couldn't take it anymore. She fell onto her knees, her knees not feeling anything, already numb from the cold.

The brown haired girl's hands fell to her sides. Her panting increased some more. A moment later, she fell forward, her gloved hands now supporting her weight. Why? Why? Why did this have to happen? Why did he still have to be a cold bastard?

She still kept fighting at keeping her eyes open while panting heavily. It seemed like she couldn't breathe enough.

"Mai…Mai…Where are you?" it sounded feint, far away. Mai picked up her head laboriously, her eyes still wanting to close, but she wouldn't let them. She couldn't…not yet…She wanted someone to find her…she wanted Naru to find her…but maybe…just maybe…he wouldn't this time…

She fell, her head on its side while her body lay face down. Breathing seemed harder and harder…

"Mai…Mai…" the voice seemed to get louder, yet…it couldn't be him…it just couldn't. He's still mad at her. She knew that. So then…why? Why was her brain torturing her with thinking about him?

Mai tried getting up. Her body didn't have enough strength. She just weakly fell. She tried again. Same result. She tried once more. This time, she fell, and she couldn't move any more. She couldn't move…

"Mai…Mai…!" the calling was even louder this time. It even sounded more like him…she sighed strenuously, smiling oh, so weakly. This is it, the end. No happy ending like she hoped for after all, huh?

Her eyes finally closed. Her breathing was dragging out now.

"MAI!"

It seemed like her eyes opened on their own. She couldn't control them. A black figure was running towards her in the snow. They fell on their knees beside her, panting heavily. She closed her eyes again. Everything slowly faded away with the passing of each second.

Tick…Tick…Tick…

And then, she couldn't hear his voice anymore.


Let me know if you want a part II! :)
