"I guess it's only fair," my voice had echoed in the
bedroom as I looked around.
I laughed as I pushed the hair from the wornout face
and placed the bangs behind his ears. I guess I would
never grow tired of this.
"Never," I had whispered as I kissed his forehead
while running my fingers through his hair.
At that moment, he smiled while dreaming. It was a
rare moment to see this type of thing.
I know I won't grow tired of his smile.
Ever.
When you grow up

Chapter 1 - Slipping away...
I couldn't help but just go about my house like a limp
person. In my room, I looked at the mirror and almost
cried at the thoughts that were going through my head.
I couldn't help doing it, though.
I don't know why and when I had known that I would be
this hurt by what he had done. Or rather, he did it
because it WAS a job.
I was a 'shigoto', he had called it.
That's what it all equated to, ne?
"Shut the thought, Hinata. Shut it away. Lock it in
a box and let it go away..." I sang to myself. "Let
it go and then you can throw away the key..."
I turned around towards the bed after brushing some of
my tears away. My two family members, these two bears
that had been with me ever since my mother had died,
stared back at me as they tilted their heads.
Kneeling to the ground, I poked them on their noses
and asked, "Do you think Asou-sensei would only do all
these things because my father told him to?"
I leaned next to Waka's mouth. "Hai to itte?"
I sighed while nodding listlessly. "Yeah, me too."
I tried to get out of my mood by plastering a smile on
my face. "Yes, I think I would hurt him too if I care
about him. Everyone always worries over me and in the
end, they get hurt because of me."
I guess it's better this way, ne?
Ne?
Placing my two beloveds in front of the genkan to wave
goodbye to me, I slipped my shoes on my feet.
Smiling, I waved and said, "Don't worry! I'll be
fine! Bye~!"
***
But things were not fine. Before I knew the afternoon
had worn on, I couldn't stand it anymore.
Home was only minutes away but it felt like an
eternity. Everything was so bright and the sky was
playing tricks on me.
I wanted to scream. I wanted to laugh. I wanted to
cry.
My heart was aching. I was ready to burst. I wanted
to tell him so much...!
With my eyes closed in pain, I took up all my courage
and my feet led the way.
And when I ran next door...
"Nai," I had whispered without missing the shaking of
my voice.
No one...
Everything's gone.
There is no one here. It was as if no one had ever
been there.
No one at all...
I was afraid to move.
Afraid to go and see if it was really true. Maybe I'm
a coward that way...
I lost my voice.
But I knew I was silently sobbing. My ears were shot,
but the sound of my cries were sinking in as I tasted
the salt of my tears coming down my face.
"No..."
I shook my head.
Not another person...
Why do I have to lose him too?
The chocolate.
The walk home.
The dinner.
The breakfast.
The warmth of his back.
The warmth of his hands.
The red ribbon on our wrists.
The smile...
It was all gone.
I clenched my fists. In one moment, all these
memories rushed to my eyes. And they were slipping
down my cheeks.
He was gone.
I can't believe you left me without a word.
What hurt the most was that I had been right...
I was just a job to you.
That's all I had been...
Then, a song came rushing to my mind. I sang without
anything coming from my mouth. I mumbled along
with the song in my head,
"Don't be surprised. If...I...Love...You..."
The wind was blowing a bit at that moment and I felt
its cold hands go through me...
