Water and Cherry Blossom
The sound of splashing crystal clear water seemed to be in a perfect symphony with the blowing wind of the beautiful spring. Gou, a girl resembling the redder version of the now fluttering cherry blossom tree sat there unfazed. Her amber eyes seemed to be concentrated on the said splashing water. Her movement was very limited, a statue someone might describe her, but not me as her glowing pink cheek gave life to her olive-toned skin.
"Gou!" a cheerful voice called her, just like a dolphin, the owner of the said voice leaped out from the refreshing pool to the slippery ceramic floor in front of Gou.
"That was dangerous Nagisa-kun" Said Gou, her eyes breaking away from the source of her attention and now fixated on the wild dolphin in front of her "and I've always told you that it's Kou, not Gou"
Nagisa ignored the annoyed manager in front of him and sat next to her. He picked up a sakura petal from the water and played with it, still smiling amusingly.
"Nice weather eh, Gou?" he said. Gou nods in agreement but not paying that much attention to him, her eyes were back on the pool. Nagisa frowned at her curiously; he dropped the petal and stares at her.
"What are you staring at?" he asked but that question was left unanswered as Makoto came rushing towards Gou, panting frantically.
"Whoa, senpai what's wrong?" asked Gou worried, it was unusual for their captain to be late for practice (except when waiting for his best friend Nanase Haruka of course). Makoto wiped the drenching sweat from his forehead. He took a deep breath and began to talk.
"Where's Haru?" he asked, Nagisa and Gou both pointed at the direction of the pool.
"HARU!" He shouted, the said prodigy stopped swimming and looked up. Seeing the worried expression painted on his friend face, he emerged from the pool.
"What's wrong, Makoto?" he asked.
"Your parents" said Makoto, here everyone were silent. Haru was stiff dead.
"They are back" he continued.
The next scene happened so fast that Gou, again was left unfazed. The cheerful air that hung above her was no more. The beautiful splashing water of the pool was then silent. Everyone left, rushing out from the place, followed by Gou who managed to move from her unfazed position as curiousness took over her.
Yet, she does not realize even with an understanding of the phrase "curiosity kills" that something was about to change and this change-
Could kill.
