The Unforgettable Promise
A glowing light.
12:59 am
I try to reach for it but I see something.
6:00 am
The navy-blue haired boy.
6:10 am
With indigo eyes.
6:11 am
He looks older.
6:13 am
But there is no doubt that it's him.
6:14 am
He is holding a violin.
6;15 am
And the sound that comes out is so pure.
6:29
The boy with the violin.
6:30 am
" Beep, beep!"
My eyes fly open. I look around. The boy. The boy isn't here. 'Of course he isn't here!' I thought. ' It's been years since the last time I heard him play his violin. He was captured, and it's all my fault. Why didn't I stop them. And the one question I wanted to know, is why did those men take Ikuto-chan away? Especially with that dream I had.
- - - Flashback- - -
It's 5:00 am.
"Ikuto-chan!" I cry. I jumped off of my bed and ran down the hallway into Ikuto-chan's bedroom. The hotel is so quiet, it scared me even more than how I am. I see Ikuto-chan come out of his bedroom. Even with my eyes filled with scared to death tear, I can see his face. He looks worried and startles. He starts to say something, " Yuuki-chan, what's wro-" Before he could finish, I reaches him and hugged him. My face barley reaches his chest, but what do you expect when you are 3-years younger than him? I cover my face with his chest and keep on sobbing, I guess he let me sob on his night shirt for a long rime. After what seemed like an eternity, I stop sobbing and Ikuto-chan suddenly pushed me away from himself gently.
At fist I thought that he was tires of me, probably because I was soaking him with my childish tears. " What's the matter?" Ikuto-chan asks in a small whisper, I-care-about-you kind of voice. I can also feel his beautiful indigo eyes staring at my tear covered face. Once his eyes caught mine I couldn't let go. I knew what was to come next; My face would turn bright red if I stared back, so I turned my face down. Actually, I have had a crush on him about a week after the fist time he came here, He has been here about 9 months now.
" Are you ok? What happened? Bad dream?" Ikuto-chan asked all of these questions at one time. I especially loved the way he cared about me. I looked straight up at him, literally straight up, and looked into his indigo eyes, and said, "Bad dream." Then I sniffled. Ikuto-chan looked to his right and said, "Yoru-kun! That's a great idea!" I started to giggle. Ikuto-chan told me that he had a shugo chara named Your-kun. He explained to me that Yoru-kun is who Ikuto-chan wants to be. Yoru-kun was born from his hearts egg. Plus he also explained that Yoru-kun could also character change with him so the way he acts changes. Even though I have never seen Yoru-kun, or Ikuto-chan character change, I still believe him. When I told Ikuto-chan about those moments when I could here a voice inside of me he told me that I would soon have a shugo chara of my own.
"What did Yoru-kun say?!" I asked urgently in a squeaky voice. Ikuto-chan just grabbed my hand and shot towards my room. When we got inside, he sat on the bed, I was confused. What was Yoru-kun's idea? When Ikuto-chan saw that I wasn't moving, he stood up and reached towards me, but I dodged, and suddenly, we both tripped, which made us both fall to the ground. I shut my eyes tight. When I opened them, I saw Ikuto-chan staring at me. He was on top of me, though he was not touching me. It looked like when he was doing push ups, except the view was not from the side but under him. I suddenly felt my face flush. I looked at Ikuto-chan in alarm, but when I looked at him, he turned red, and he quickly stood up. For some odd reason, when he moved , it was so sly, so, well, cat-like.
I quickly glanced at him, then quickly liked at the floor. "S-sorry." Ikuto-chan said silently. When I looked up, he was far off by the other side of the wall. 'Wow.' I thought, ' he's like a ghost! One minute he's here then he's not!' "It's ok." I replied silently. I stood up from the floor, and my blushing was gone.
I look at the clock.. 6:00 am. 'wow it's been an hour already!' I thought.
I jumped over to Ikuto-chan. He was facing down, so I sat near his feet, and looked up to him, "Ikuto-chan." I said. I look at his eyes. His eyes look so blank, just like Prince Mytho's in Princess Tutu. So scary and creepy.
"Ikuto-chan!" I nearly scream. Ikuto-chan's face suddenly looks startled, and he jumps. I stare at him. A grin threatens to pore my face. I scared Ikuto-chan, the Ikuto-chan! Finally! And I didn't even try!
"Y-Yuuki-chan!! Don't scare me like that!" Ikuto-chan exclaims!
Then the bomb drops. A grin spreads on my face. Ikuto-chan's face lights up with his own grin, but more evil-like. "Well I didn't black out in the fist place!" I exclaimed sarcastidly. Ikuto-chan suddenly tackles me and starts tickling me.
"Ikuuuuuuuto-chaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!! Stop!" I scream. My eyes fill with tears. I start to hiccup. Ikuto-chan stops, with a small grin on his face. I love it when he grins. Ikuto-chan sits cross-legged on the floor and I flop next to himWhen I did, he put his head on my lap, and faced me. "So, what did you need" Ikuto-chan asks. I hiccup. Ikuto-chan laughs. I look down at him. His eyes soften. For some odd reason, he only does that when we are alone. I guess we stare at each other for 5 minutes then I remember.
"Um, Ikuto-chan?" I ask. His eyes are closed, a smile on his face. "Yea, Yuuki-chan?" Ikuto-chan asks still with his eyes closed. Then he stands up and sits in front of me. 'Shoot! Even when he is sitting he is still taller than me! Why!' I thought. "Um well," I begin. " It's 6 um, 6:30 and yesterday you said you wanted to go down to the balcony on the hill to play the violin, so, um," I said. I looked into his eyes. He thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he stood up.
"Oh! You want to come too, huh? Right!?" Ikuto-chan exclaimed. I felt my heart beat quicker. 'Your blushing!' The voice in my head teased. "No I'm not!" I replied to the voice……out loud. "Your not what?" Ikuto-chan asked. I stood up quickly and then tripped on my own foot. 'Great, just great! I blush a lot, and now I'm the world's biggest cluts!' I thought. "Ow." I was used to saying that. Ikuto-chan gave me a hand to stand up then he snickered. "Ok if you want to come, get ready for the climb of your life." Ikuto-chan teased; I hoped.
When we got to the balcony, I was puffing air. Ikuto-chan was right. It was the climb of my life! It was a long walk up the gigantic hill. Well, Ikuto-chan and others call it a hill. I call it a deathtrap made out of earth. I hiccupped.
"Ikuto-chan!" I gasped. Ikuto-chan was at the edge of the balcony breathing the fresh morning air. Ikuto-chan turned around and smiled at me. Then he started to laugh. Why was Ikuto-chan laughing? "Yuuki-
chan! Your. Face. Is. Red." Ikuto-chan exclaimed, empathizing each word as if I could not understand them. I ran towards him and hiccupped even more. "Ikuto-chan!" I exclaimed. I really didn't feel embarrassed. I loved it when he smiled, laughed, or was just happy.
"Ok, Yuuki-chan, let me play already!" Ikuto-chan exclaimed sarcastidly. I shut my mouth. Ikuto-chan picked up his violin and started to play.
The sound from his violin was so pure, and the look on his face was so calm. The notes were kind of low, not happy, nor sad, but something, well romantic. I t was so beautiful, like a dream I never wanted to wake up from; then the music stopped. I looked up at Ikuto-chan as he quickly put away his violin. 'Why did he stop?' I thought. "Ikuto-cha-" I started to say, but then he quickly grabbed my hand tightly and then he dragged me behind one of the big pots.
"Ikuto-chan, what's-" I began. "Be quiet. I f you make a noise they will hear you." Ikuto-chan whispered. I looked up at Ikuto-chan and saw that he looked serious looking, it scared me. Not him, but the, well, whatever. He suddenly stood up and walked toward the center where he was more visible.
He looked back at me, and said "No matter what, don't scream. Promise me that. Promise!" Ikuto-chan exclaimed. "I promise." I whispered silently. I had no idea what was going on, but I knew something was up.
"Ikuto-chan? Yoru-kun will take car of you, right?" I asked urgently.
"Yes he will. And I promise I will find you again. I swear with my life." Ikuto-chan said.
' Wait, he'll find me again? Is he leaving?'
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto! Your coming with us!"
I closed my eyes. I didn't want to be here. ' This is all a dream.' I thought urgently to myself.
"Get your hands off of me! You lowlife!"
"Come with us or else!"
'Ikuto-chan. No.' I thought.
"Or else what!"
"Or else your little girlfriend behind that pot will have fun with me and the other guys!"
-Silence-
'He knows' I thought.
"Fine. I'll go."
I hear a car leaving.
I sit there with my eyes still closed. This all has to be a bad dream.
After what seems ages, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I got startled. I hit the hand. I saw the face. It was Tsukasa Amakawa. I started to sob. "He's gone." I cried. Tsukasa starts to sob with me. "He's gone and it's all my fault." I cry harder.
