It was Christmas eve and the cool December air bit at Shinoa's exposed neck like a vampire as she walked down the pebbled pathway. Sure it was late, and sure Shinya might scold her for leaving the Christmas party and going to a not so safe place at night, but she could take care of herself. And what better time to visit Yuu than now.
Admittedly, she had been trying to convince herself not to go, but this was Yuu she was supposed to visit. What other reason could there be not to go?
Shinoa cautiously entered the so called dangerous territory in search of his place. The eerie silence should have frightened any girl her age, but it just made her chuckle and think of how silly Yuu was to be in such a quiet place like this. A place that was so unlike him.
Said periwinkle head smiled as he reached her desired spot.
"Yuu-san. It's been a while. Sorry for not coming as often as I'd like to but, things have been busy and all. Mitsuba got promoted, and I shot mine down again." She chuckles at the thought. "Anyway, how've you been? I've been coping, I guess. I'm still not used to you not being there to constantly bicker with Kimizuki. Or blush when I tease you. Or try to kick Guren's ass. Then again, you're probably trying to do just that right now." She sighs and puts on a brave smile before she kneels to lay down the white lilies on his grave.
Yuuichiro Hyakuya
Died valiantly while protecting his family in the last fight for humanity.
"As much as I'd like to see you right now, I can't leave earth just yet. I still have to clean up the gigantic mess you boys left. Seriously, couldn't you have left a love letter or something?" She chuckles bitterly.
Right beside Yuu's grave, was his Mika's.
Mikaela Hyakuya
Died valiantly while protecting his family in the last fight for humanity.
"Hey Mika, I didn't know what flowers to get you boys so I hope the white lilies are okay. You can share them with Yuu. I'm sure he won't mind. I hope he's not causing you too much trouble up there. Then again, is that even possible?"
Shinoa then walks to the other side of Yuu's grave.
Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose
Died valiantly while leading humanity to victory.
"Ne Guren, you better be taking care of Yuu up there. You better be having fun. That's the least you could do for leaving me with this mess of country to deal with. Shinya onii-san and your squad really miss you. I do too."
Shinoa stands up and fixes herself accordingly. "Anyway guys, I gotta go. They might think I ran away if I'm gone for too long. Merry Christmas!"
She speed walks her way out without looking where exactly she's going and suddenly bumps into someone. That someone wraps his arms around her and hugs her tightly.
"I know you still love him. I know you're still hurting. But I know Yuu wouldn't want you to be like this. Crying during Christmas eve of all times. Even Guren would flick your forehead if he saw you like this."
"Shut up, Onii-san." Shinoa hugs him back as she finally let herself break down in her brother's arms.
Everyone knows that Shinya was adopted, but that didn't mean that he didn't care about his step sister. On the contrary, he was very worried about her. Plus, he promised two raven haired troublemakers that he would take care of Shinoa Hiiragi.
