A/N Here goes another fic for the HitsuHina fandom xD This will only probably be two or three chapters long. Lol I decided to write this as a gift for myself since my birthday's on May 6 xD This was inspired by a post I saw on tumblr.

"Happiness is always in reach no matter how far you have to walk"

Have I done anything wrong to him? From the product that I raked from my mind nothing really listed as a possible explanation on why he ignored me for the past ten years. I never even deserved this… When we were kids I felt like I gave my all to just befriend him when he just recently moved into town.

It crushed my heart when I first saw him under the lone peach tree that was planted on top of a hill that overlooked the homely town. I realized back then that he needed someone… More like a friend. I went to him and introduced myself, expecting that he would reply out of courtesy but he never said anything… Just a cold glare that was thrown to me was the only response I received. I just sat next to him and extended my hand. He stared at it before I could see the tiniest of smiles before he shook my hand. We started out as acquaintances, to close friends, then finally best friends. The way he protected me from everything that could possibly hold a threat made me realize that he was truly my friend and then I hoped that we would be like that or maybe even more forever.

Big mistake.

One summer. It only took one summer to easily break the bond that I thought was invincible. Two and a half months to shatter something that I cherished more than myself. Seventy five days to change my best friend to someone I never knew. Our friendship was broken, shattered into million pieces and pulverized by footsteps of cruel fate.

What did I do to deserve this?

I missed how he would tease me with that annoying nickname or how he would show me the smile that was hidden deep inside him… Or how he would show how much he used to care about me when he was just an innocent little wee boy. We would spend the whole afternoon on the hill where we first met and play there all day without a care in the world.

It hurts.

Firstly I thought that this was a problem I had yet to defeat…even if I'm already eighteen now. But then I realized that I didn't have much time to be here anymore. Three weeks ago I discovered that there was something in me, slowly killing my body and poisoning me. Leukemia was eating my life span slowly.

I stood up from my seat. Today I was going to tell the class about it, hoping that they would understand unlike the jerk I used to know. As I stood in front of them a lump of air was hitched at the back of my throat. It wasn't due to nervousness but pain lingering on my chest. There he was… talking to his new friends and some girl flirting with him…

And his smile. Oh god… He was radiating it… That smile was supposed to be shone to me only. He glanced at my direction and for a moment, we locked eyes. His smile turned into a frown while I jerked my head in the other direction.

I did not come here to just get myself embarrassed, I told myself so I coughed. I didn't notice the girl that was flirting with Toushiro looking at me like I was some pest.

"Guys, I wa-"

"Nobody cares bitch! Go crawl back to the trash bin!" She shouted and the whole class laughed at me. I stared at her for a moment before I walked back to my chair and sat down. I laid my arms on the desk and laid my head in my arms, silently crying.

It is really sad to know that nobody cares that I'll pass away in three months. I guess nothing will ever change if I fade away.

You're probably thinking that Toushiro's a jerk xD Don't worry, everything will be revealed in the next few chapters or so… But Ill tell you that this will have a bittersweet ending. :O Is it me or I have a knack for writing character deaths? xD

Oh and read my other story Paradise! It's a HitsuHina too! For my other story The Family Business… I was thinking about giving up on it or placing it on the Hiatus category D:

Anyway review~!
