Tsubaki

Soft breeze slowly brushes my cheek as smile appeared from within. Pushing my long silk curvy hair away, I smiled at the small boy with an ice-cream.

"Thank you." he kissed my cheek and ran to the opposite direction with his tiny 5 years old feet.

I stood there watching him with a smile as I start walking the other direction. It was a beautiful morning with bright blue sky. Street filled with hustle and bustle of people's laughter that never stopped me from walking to my favorite store. Leila Stories. Books were my best friend since 5 and I never get tired of them. Besides books, music came into my life that lightens each and every feeling in me.

"Hey pretty, where are you going?" I slowly turned to my right to find a guy. Ears and lips pierced in shinny stuff. Sleeveless and pant below his hip. A black metal. I chanted in me wondering what is with him calling me. I took a step backward but an unknown voice stopped me to take another.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. Are you off to school? Let us accompany you, shall we?" he wore as same as the first guy. Fear creped in me. Biting my lower lips, I turned to the other side to have another one standing with his hands in his pocket. I turned to run when one of them pulled my arms and locked them with his.

"Let go off me!" I cried. I noticed pedestrians were right there but none were looking. Never will one look for it was never their interest in wanting to know what's going on.

"Why should I?" The second guy came towards me, tilting my chin for me to face him.

"Because-"

"Because it's not the right way to treat a lady." We turned to that voice to find a young man with scarf around his neck, tossing a coin. Smirking.

"Get lost. You're not needed here." The third guy stood in front him with a very ugly yet fury look.

"Oh really? Sadly boys, it seems like the situation needs me." Smirk never disappear.

"Why you!" a fist was forced towards him which it hit the pole. He just avoided it! The guy turned to punch him but the handsome looking man gave him a kick, right at his chest making him to hit the pole. A direct force. The black metal guy pulled out his pocket knife, twisting around and points at him.

"Get lost or you'll be hurt."

"How amusing." he forced towards that man but he smartly moved to the side and twist his wrist which made that metallic guy jump in pain.

"SHIT!" he used his leg to kick that man but failed as he forcefully pushed him down, striking him at his neck. He turned to the second guy and me. Pushing me sideway, he pulled out a revolver, pointing straight at that man's chest.

"Don't come closer or I'll shoot you."

"Really?" Within seconds, he was missing and another was gripping hold of the second guy's hand toward his back.

"Let go!"

"Didn't your mum told you that playing with guns are dangerous?"

"OUCH!" that man forcefully pulled the gun and pointed at that guy.

"Run along now." Three of them stood and ran as they kept hunching in pain. He checked the gun and threw it into the bin. Turning to me, with his blackish eyes he smiled.

"I…"

"Are you alright?" His face was inches away from mine. I could feel my heart beating really fast.

"Y-Yes. T-Thank you."

"Don't mention. Next time, be careful of where you are."

"Y-Yes!" he walked away with a smile. Even though he left like 5 minutes ago, his eyes are still in my mind. Those black sexy eyes.

"Tsubaki! How many times do I have to remind you of composing them appropriately? This is the 15th time I've been warning you and yet you're not improving the slightest bit!"

"I'm sorry." I looked at my shoes. Controlling my tears from falling off, I tried holding in my feelings.

"Rewrite and hand it to me once again!"

"Yes." He pushed the sheets to me as he stormed out. I dragged my legs heavily as my tears slowly creep down my cheeks. It's been so many times have I corrected my sheets and yet never was it the perfect score for my teacher, Mr Kaito.

"Ah… Kimi dake ni todoke
Kono kaze no oto yo Feeling heart…
Mou nakanakute ii yo sono mama de ii
Sora wo mite Ah… My sweetest love"

I leg stopped moving despite the heaviness I'm feeling right now. That voice and tone, it's sort of lifting up my sorrows away…

"Blue… aoku kagayaku hoho wo tsutau sono shizuku
Rise… shitte ita kai? Asu e no hikari dato"

I peaked through an opened door to find a guy standing in white shirt with loosen tie, taking in his breath with his eyes tightly shut.

"Toki-kun, that's enough. You've been practicing since hours ago."

"So?"

"Stop stuffing yourself in a room and start roaming out. There are many things you can do rather than spending a whole day in here."

"Like?"

"Talking to the girls."

"You go ahead. I'm skipping that." My leg slipped and I fell, pushing the door wide open. A guy red hair came towards me, helping me out.

"Are you alright, miss?"

"Y-Yes! Thank you." I looked at the guy with greenish blue hair, the one that saved me. The red hair guy looked at me and him.

"Tokiya? I thought you were thanking me." The guy called Tokiya turned away without a smile, walking pass me with his uniform coat.

"I'm leaving."

"TOKI-KUN! WAIT! Aren't you going to say anything?"

"I'm tired." and walked away.

"Don't mind him. He's always cold as usual but he's kind. By the way, I'm Otoya Ittoki. Nice to meet you." I just stared at my shoes not even shaking hands with him.

"His smile…"

"Pardon?"

"Nothing. I'm leaving too. Good bye, senpai." I bowed to him as I left him alone in the room.

What happened to his smile I saw the other day?

I entered my room to find the whole place messed up with cloths and books. Chairs were pushed to the corner as inner garments were seen on the floor. My faced turned bitter. It actually took me ages to clean up my messed up room left by a senpai and now it's back to square one? Who'd have done this?

I heard a tiny creak of the washroom's door at my right.

"Excuse me, it's inappropriate to…"

"Tsuki-san!" I was pulled into a hug. I stood stone wondering who it was. She tilt her head a little with a cat like smile and sparkling eyes looking at me. I had a tiny feeling that I might've seen her some where but where? A moment of thinking made me realize that she's my long lost mate.

"Yumi-chan!"

"I knew you'd remember me!" she gave me a peck as we sat at the corner of the bed. Since the place is a mess, she pushed her clothes on the floor and sat facing me.

"Oh my goodness! What are you doing here?"

"I heard you're taking composition for music in this school and since we promised each other that we'll be composers for musician, I joined in."

"Where have you been all these while? You went missing for 13 years."

"Sorry Tsuki-san, you know my dad have some business to deal with so I moved to US and now I'm back. So, you don't have to worry."

"Don't leave me again!" I hugged her real tight.

"Tsuki-san, I need a favor."

"Hmm?" I looked at her as she gave me a puppy dog eyes

"Help me…" as she slowly pointed at the pile of cloths.

"What else do I have to live for?"

"Pretty please…" she kept pecking on my cheek which I pushed her far away.

"Alright alright! Don't kiss me already." we laughed as we start cleaning up the mess.
