Chapter One – Under the Night's Sky
I sat there staring up at the sky, watching the twinkling stars in the night's sky. I just sat there, trying not to think, not to move, not to do anything besides sitting there. I didn't want to think, because I would think about him, and I didn't want to move, because that would lead my thoughts to him.
I was stronger than this. I wasn't about to allow myself to fall into darkness over one person. I wouldn't die to myself because of him. I would live on and get over him. I would live past them, the couple that would be, not the couple that we had been.
I pushed myself off the ground and looked up at the sky one last time. It was time to move on with my life and forget him. I turned around and walked into the house, where I picked up my bag that lay in my room and put a sealed letter on my bed and left.
I hailed a cab and went to the nearest airport. I strolled in and went to the counter; "I preordered a ticket to New York City under the name of Kanzaki Yumi."
The woman at the desk gave me a warm smile, "Ah, hai. Here it is Kanzaki-san. It's gate 10A. Your flight is on time and should arrive in ten minutes."
I gave her a short nod and took the ticket and walked to terminal. I went through the usual checks and showed them my passport. When everything seemed in order, I boarded my plane. The plane soon took off and I never once looked back.
That's how Yamagi Hikari died and Kanzaki Yumi rose from the ashes of the former woman.
"Yumi, please, I need you to do this for me," a blonde man begged the girl before him.
"No," was the flawless English reply, "Andrew, I will not do this concert in Japan, you know my reserves to even going there. I will not go back to that god-damned country!"
"The people there adore you Yumi, it's not their fault of what that boy did to you. If you are truly over him, then you would go with out a question or doubt," the man scowled.
"Then, they can fuckin' get over it. I do not care about publicity like you do Andrew. I just want to live my life. Let me do that. I was always paraded around and ruled. I won't be like that any more," Yumi grounded out. Her blue color contacts covering up her chocolate eyes that flashed dangerously.
"You're scared, aren't you," was the soft reply that broke the woman before him.
"I am," she replied, backing down and hanging her head submissively. "I just don't want to be hurt again. I don't want to see him parading around with here. I just don't want to be looked at like I'm a naïve child. I'm scared that they'll recognize me and make me return to that life, along with seeing him."
"I won't let that happen. We'll do a few concerts there and come back here. Kayla won't let anything happen either. Don't worry," he stated, hugging her.
"Aringato," she whispered in her native tongue, before disentangling herself from her best friend's embrace and leaving to go to her room.
"We leave in an hour," he called over to her as she left.
She opened the door to her room and closed it quickly before sinking to the carpet, crying. Why couldn't she get over him?! Why did her have to follow her wherever she went?
Wiping the tears away with the back of her hand, she moved to a drawer in her nightstand and pulled out a picture frame. The last picture she had of her friends and him. They had taken the picture in the park. She remembered the day and through it had been yesterday.
It was the anniversary of first going to the Digital World. They had all gathered in a park, that summer and where having a picnic. Everyone had been able to make it; even Mimi had been able to make it all the way from America. The girls were all hanging out around the picnic blanket, while the guys were playing around.
"So Hikari, are you having fun being Takeru's boyfriend?" Sora asked the blushing brunette.
"I am, Sor. He's great. I mean, he is so kind and everything, I wonder what I did to deserve him. He's so…perfect," the girl stated, going even redder.
"Remember the shock when we found out Taichi and Yamato, were gay?" Yolei questioned, bringing the heat off Hikari, who shot a grateful smile at her friend.
"I can't figure out who was more shocked, Takeru or Sora. That reminds me, why weren't you shocked, Hikari?" Sora snickered.
"I had known," Hikari replied truthfully. "Yami-nii-chan and Tai-nii-chan had told me one day, when I came home to find them kissing. Which scared me senseless. Our parents took it well, though. They once teased me of trying to make out with Sora."
This caused laughter to erupt from the girls and the guys turned to them. "What's with the laughter?" Taichi called to them as the others waited for a response.
"Just recounting on old memories," Mimi called back, being the first one to recover from her laughter.
"Yeah," Yolei added, "Quite funny ones too."
That sent the group into laughter again, which the boys shrugged off and began to toss a football around.
"That was before she came..." Yumi whispered, lost in her memories.
The teacher walked in and smiled at the class, "Ohayo class."
"Ohayo sensei," was the dutiful reply that the class spoke in unison.
"We have a new student. Satome Kali, please enter," the teacher informed Hikari's class.
A dirty blonde girl entered the class room and smiled. Her blue eyes scanned the room and landed on Hikari, "Konichiwa. I am Satome Kali, but please call me Rini."
Her eyes moved to Takeru and took a preadtory glent, "It's a pleasure to be here.
"Then he was late to that date. That hurt, bad."
She stood there as she waited for Takeru to show up for their date. He was ten minutes late and was starting worry. He was never late. Just as her worry began to peak, he ran around the corner.
"Gomen, 'Ri," he panted out. "I was showing the new girl Rini around town and completely lost track of time. Gomen. It won't happen again!"
Hikari gave him a small smile, "So'k, Ru-chan. Now, have about we have that date you promised me.
Rolling her eyes, Yumi snorted. Oh, it had happened again, on numerous accounts. He would say the same thing. "It won't happen again." But it had. The seed of doubt had been planted; all it needed was to be cultivated.
"'Ru-chan, are we on for this weekend? My place at six tonight?" the dirty blonde asked Takeru.
"Sure, Rini. I have nothing else to do this afternoon. I'll be there," he blonde boy smiled as they departed.
Hikari stood around the corner wide eyed. She had called him 'Ru-chan' they had decided that that was her name for him alone, like his was 'Ri-chan'. They had also had a date at six tonight. Was he going to break up with her?
Takeru turned the corner and saw Hikari, "Ri-chan!" His smile turned into a frown at the lost look in her eyes. "Ri? What's wrong?" he asked in the busy hall of their high school.
"Oh, Ru-chan! You surprised me," she masked up her sadness. "I was thinking about a book I read. It's so sad. This guys lead a girl on, who was his girlfriend, while he was dating the new girl at school."
"Interesting book, Ri. Don't read too many sad ones. I don't like to see you sad. You look prettier when you're happy."
"He didn't notice," she thought, "He use to pick up on things when I was faking, now he doesn't even care!"
"Yup, that was the beginning of the end."
Hikari strolled in the park, watching as others pasted. She kept wandering in park until she saw two familiar figures. She was about to call out to them, when the female of the couple kissed the male.
Hikari gasped and turned around, sprinting down the concrete until she reached her family apartment. She ran in the house, taking just a small amount of time to rid herself of her shoes before running into her room. She ignored her mother's worried call, along with Taichi's.
She began to sob into her pillow. The two people who she had seen kissing were Rini and her boyfriend, Takeru.
"I remember crying my heart out and Taichi banging on the door. I never did tell him why I was crying. 'Our two families are meant to be together.'(1) Like hell they were, Yami-nii-chan," Yumi murmured, as she stood up and moved to her walk-in closet and began to pull out clothes for her journey.
"I wonder what they think of me now. If they even wonder about me that is," she wondered aloud. "Also, what songs should I sing at this concert? Hmm…decisions, decisions"
Her hand stopped over a disk and a smirk crept over her face, "Indeed, this song shall do." Taking it out, she read the hand written sticky note on it. "'Heart Broken and Rode to Recovery' the plot thickens," she chuckled and pulled out her silver cell phone.
"Andrew? It's me. I found the songs I want to sing… No, they are not all heart broken songs… Andrew, please… Ok, then I won't do the show… Good choice, see you on the plane in thirty minutes. I'll show them to see then. Bye."
Yes, the day had gotten better.
- End Chapter
Authors Note – Ow, my head hurts, for some reason. I was having a bit of a problem with RotP and I decided to write this. It's a fun fic and won't be updated often, unless I get motivation from others. (A LOT of motivation) In other words, this will probably sit on fanfiction.net for a while unless people want me to continue. Again, this is kind of based on real live events. Can you tell which parts?
By the way, I will try and put the others in the next chapter of Rainfall. Isn't such a better title than RotP? I'm working on that title. I'm thinking of changing it to Shattered Past, Cloudy Future. Whatcha think? It's better than the current title in my opinion. I'll stop rambling now. I think I'll go eat the lunch I missed two hours ago, while I was typing this up. But wait, misery loves company, so I'll sit here and eat vanilla ice cream and edit this story. (which took another hour --;; fanfiction.net hates me) If anyone has figured out the spacing with quickedit and all please drop me a line. I need help on this!
