Really, I'm a kind of inspired today, I'm writing in a stormy day, 5:00 am
and hearing U2 "The Joshua Tree" disc, I couldn't sleep and I've come to
write this, that it has just crossed my mind while I was wondering 'Why the
hell I don't have a PS2?!' yeah I know, it has nothing to do with it, but
my ideas just flow in a way so weird.
Disclaimer: You know I don't own them, no ooooooone!!! And neeeeveeeeeer!!, but still I can do whatever I please with them in fics, like everyone does…BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Errr…on with the show…
For the love of a child
This story begins in a small neighborhood in Japan, not a very populated one, but peaceful and calm, where the children played happily, the birds chirped and people lived in harmony. The place's name is Shizuoka , not so far from Tokyo, it could be called an advantage for the residents who most of the times needed to trade merchandise, maybe it was peaceful residency, but they have their economical crisis like some cities of the country.
Haruka Tenoh, a small blonde with short cut hair and teal eyes, it's a special person, she didn't like to play with other children, she just didn't feel like doing it, she is known like the anti-social by the neighbors, parents of the children who were afraid of her, because she was stronger than any boy of the neighborhood, a tomboy in other words. She lives with her father and grandmother in a house near the Suruga bay, her favorite place to be.
"Haruka! It's late! Come home or you dinner will froze!" Her father called from the entrance of their house.
"Coming pa!" She finished building her sand castle picked up her shovel and other instruments to mould the sand, she stood and smiled satisfactory at her big castle, and then returned to her home. Once there she smelled the cooking of her grandma, how she loved her, and her cooking too.
"Papa! Grandma! I'm here!" with her feet full with sand, walked over the kitchen.
"Oh, there you are Haruka" her grandmother saw the sand that Haruka left in the floor. "Haruka! How times I've told you to wash your feet before getting into the house?". "Sorry grandma, I'll be right back". She left the kitchen and went to wash her feet.
"There!, I'm clean, now shall we have dinner?".
During the dinner, her father talked about economy and that sort of things with her grandmother, sometimes Haruka gets totally bored.
"I've heard the newcomers moved next to our house, they have only a daughter" Haruka eyebrows went up and stared at her dad. "Newcomers? When?". "They arrived here this afternoon , I hope you be nice with her daughter". Haruka still munched her fish salad "But pa! The girls are…well, you know the neighbors daughters! they don't like to play with me because they say I'm so rude!". "Aww, come on Haruka, just meet her, maybe she's not like the others girls". her grandmother says. "Besides, it'll be good for you to make a friend, do you pretend to be alone all your life?" Haruka's blood started to boil. " I don't need anyone! I don't care about getting a friend and I want to be alone!" she stood from her chair and stormed towards her room, her father and grandmother just rolled eyes. "Mom, this girl, will never learn". "Don't worry, I know she'll find a friend sooner or later"
The next day, the family of newcomers, the Kaioh, visited Tenoh's house, Haruka was forced to stay in the visitor's room, meeting them.
"I am Nobuo Kaioh, my wife Ikuya and…" he noticed her daughter was hidden behind him, hugging his legs. "Michiru, come on, don't be shy and say hi to them". She let go of her father and stared at Haruka. "Um…hi, my name is Michiru " Haruka's father smiled and pushed Haruka a little to Michiru. "I am Shintaro Tenoh, my mother Megumi and she is my daughter" "Err..yeah" suddenly she felt her father pinching her on her arm. "Ouch!, okay, okay! I'm Haruka! Nice too meet you" she let out a sigh. Michiru was a nice girl, aquamarine hair, blue eyes, dressed beautifully and seemed so girly, like those who always liked to play with 'Barbies',while Haruka dressed with a dark red shirt and loose blue jeans. "Do you want to go upstairs, to my room…um, to play something?" Her grandmother smiled at this comment, she's been gentle with her! And she thought that was so cute coming from her granddaughter.
"Sure! Mom, dad, may I?" the aqua haired little girl asked "Of course Michiru" the couple responded.
Haruka led Michiru to her room, she felt a little weird, no one but her and her dad and grandmother had entered to Haruka's room. She waited Michiru to make a 'yuck' face, but instead Michiru beamed when she saw the videogame console.
"You have the Atari and the Nintendo too?! Me too! It's so cool!" Haruka beamed too, she knew she and Michiru would have a beautiful friendship.
"You like it too? Wow! Wanna play? I have the pac-man, and donkey kong, frog and…I don't remember what else"
"Sure!" Michiru responded as Haruka handed her a black with a red button joystick, but stopped. "Atari or Nintendo?" "You have that game of hunting ducks?" Haruka reached for two Nintendo pistols. "Yeah". "Let's play it!"
The game began and they started to shot the ducks in the screen.
"Hey, you are better than me playing this, how old are you? Eight? Nine?" the Aqua haired girl asked and Haruka giggled "No, I'm 6".
"You're tall to be a girl of six years, I have six too, just turned them two months ago". "Oh, cool… noooo!! I've lost 4 ducks!"
Four years have passed and their friendship have grown up with the time, Haruka wasn't alone anymore, her and Michiru were the best friends, she was not like the others, they talked to the other children sometimes, but to them it was only her and Michiru. The Suruga bay turned into Michiru's favorite place too, she just loved being there, admiring the ocean and playing with Haruka. They were having a lie-down in the sand, looking at the sky, near the shore, letting the water wet their legs.
"Ara Haruka, have you ever wondered…oh, nothing"
"What?"
"Have you ever wondered what… a kiss is like?" with nervousness in her way of speak.
"No, and I'm not planning to do it someday" the blonde responded, and Michiru stayed silent and came with another question.
"Why?" she asked to Haruka who then turned to her partner. "Because kissing is so yucky and mushy, sticky and…ugh, I don't know, let's say I'm not curious about that sort of things"
"Not even a little?". "No" silence between them again.
"You're a coward" she said to the blonde. Haruka sat and turned to Michiru. "How did you call me?". "Coward, accept it, you're a coward who is afraid of kissing". "I don't have fear of nothing!". "Yes, you are"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Aha! Do you want me to prove it?!" Michiru sat too, facing Haruka, who were in a challenge mode.
"I'd like to see it" They were staring at each other for minutes, seemed like hours.
"Are you sure?". "Mmm…yeah" the aqua haired girl responded. Haruka just got closer to her, until she felt Michiru's warm breath. 'Here goes nothing' Haruka thought, she hesitated a little, but she went forward, closed her eyes and quickly pressed her lips with Michiru's. The quickly it came, the quickly it end.
"Whoa, that was one of the weirdest experiences I've had, and you Michi?" she looked at Michiru, who was red like a tomato. "In fact, I think I liked it…and you?". "Yeah, me too…it was not like I thought it would be, maybe because it was with you" she blushed even more. "I don't know, but I'm feeling so weird now" Michiru said. They looked at each other again.
"Don't expect me to do it again, what will think our parents if they find out about this?" the blonde said to her friend. "Yeah, I know…maybe they won't allow me to see you anymore, I think I wouldn't bear it, let's act like nothing has happened". "Deal"
When Haruka arrived her home, she was whistling a happy tune. "Pa! Grandma! I'm home!" in her way to upstairs she found her father. "Oh, there you're Haruka, I've been searching for you". "What's wrong?" the blonde girl asked. "Let's go with your grandmother to her bedroom, it's important you both know about this". Once there, Haruka's father started to talk.
"I've been required for a new job!". Both Haruka and Megumi cheered. "That's great pa!" but then, Shintaro let out a sad sigh. "But…Haruka, I know you won't like this, but my job it's out of the city, and we will have to move in two weeks to Tokyo" Haruka couldn't believe it, they were moving?! What about Michiru!? She can not be without her!.
"Dad, you can't be serious" "I'm sorry, but it's a big opportunity for us and I can't let it go". "Is not affair! You come here and tell me that I have to make a friend, now that I have her, we're moving and that means that I'll lose her!" she rushed to the door. "Where are you going?" asked her grandmother. "To my room…to think a little about this" and she left.
The two weeks had passed and the day of Haruka's departure came, there was only one hour left to leave, Haruka was in Suruga bay, looking at the waves of the sea, probably her last time there.
"Haruka" the blonde turned around and found Michiru in a chemisse white dress. She walked towards Haruka.
"Before you go, I want to give you something" Michiru showed Haruka a collar made of sea shells and shark teeth. "I'll give you an advice, don't move that much in your sleep and it won't hurt" she gave Haruka the collar. "Shark teeth? Where did you get it?". "Oh, we ate shark soup yesterday, and I told mom to gave me the shark's teeth". "It's so cool, thanks Michi…" She put her collar on and smiled at the aqua haired girl. Michiru started to sob and threw herself to Haruka's arms. "I don't want you to *sniff* leave" tears rolled from Michiru's cheeks, Haruka hugged her and caressed her friend's hair.
"I know, I don't want to leave either, but I have to" she lifted Michiru's chin and wiped her tears away. "Don't cry or you'll make me cry too" Michiru controlled herself and hugged Haruka tightly. "But I won't ever see you again". "Don't say that, you'll see, we will meet again someday…I promise" she kissed Michiru in her forehead. "Haruka?". "Yes?" Michiru's cheeks slightly blushed. "Will you kiss me again…like the other day?". "I guess I could" She kissed Michiru on the lips, but this time she made it slowly and long.
"Thanks Haruka" and took Haruka's hand.
Suddenly they heard the horn of a car. "Haruka! It's time! Let's get going!. It was Shintaro, Haruka's father and her grandmother. "I guess this is the good bye". "No, this is only a 'see you then'" she smiled and let go of Haruka's hand who started to run towards the car, her eyes filling with tears, she didn't want Michiru to see her cry. "Bye Michiru!" she climbed up and the car drove off.
"Good bye Haruka…I won't ever forget you"
This is not the end, it's only the beginning. So sad isn't? Oh yeah! Does anyone remember the Atari? I do, with that I started my love for the videogames! But unfortunately, my dad sold it! He said it didn't work anymore and until now he just told me! He did it because he bought me the Nintendo, anyway, the Atari joystick was so hard, I remember that game of ducks, you pointed the pistol to the screen and shoot to them in the Nintendo game, *sigh of happiness* I can remember that kind of things more than my past life.
Well, let me know if this fic was worth writing, review please!
