From Heaven: chapter one
The autumn breeze blew against Rukawa's face as he rode his bike to school.He had on his earphones and was half alseep.
From a distance, a girl dressed entirely in black stood watching him.'My new mission is to protect this boy?'
'Yes,' a voice answered.'His name is Kaede.You should know this by now though.'
The girl nodded.
Rukawa was cycling with his eyes still shut.He suddenly saw an image of her in his mind and quickly braked.When he opened his eyes, the girl was not there.The strangest thing was that when he saw the image, she did not have a face.
He merely shrugged and got on his way to school.
'Did he...see me?'The girl asked surprised.
'No, he only felt your presence.'the misty voice replied.
'What shall I do then?'the girl asked.
'I cannot tell you everything, Celeste.You're supposed to be his guardian angel.Protect him.'
"OKay Shohoku! Let's wrap it up...remember, we're having practice again tomorrow.Don't be late!"Akagi's voice hollered through the gym.It was late, around 7.
Rukawa grabbed his gym bag and wiped his face with a towel.
It was rainy out and the dark blue sky became total darkness.Rukawa hopped on his bike and cycled home.He was so exhuasted so he thought he'd just close his eyes for a little.
Suddenly, the bike skidded on the slippery road and crashed into the rails of the cliff just abovethe thrashing ocean.Rukawa was sent flying off his bike and he went tumbling down the steep slope.He felt the muddy ground under him.And the pain...oh the pain was circulating around his whole body.It was unbearable.
The ground under his shifted slightly and he the muddy ground under him started to slide down the cliff dragging him along and he was soon in the dangerous waves of the sea.
He choked on the water.There was no way he was gonna survive such a current especially with his aching body.He kept trying to swim to the nearest land he could get to but each time he did, he seemed to get washed futhur and futher away.
'I must save him!'Celeste dived into the water from the sky.Rukawa's head was already emerged underneath the water.He had been knocked unconscious by a huge wave.
Under the water, nothing could be heard and Celeste swam towards Rukawa and she pressed her lips against his.She started to breathe into him.Slowly giving him air and after that alittle more when he could breathe on his own again.
Rukawa opened his eyes and he saw her.He was so tired that he thought he was dreaming.The girl wrapped her arms around him and flew up the cliff where his bike was lying.She laid him down and he started coughing.
The pain was fading now.Almost gone.Only the memory of it remained.Rukawa tried to sitting up and realized how easy it was.It was amazing.Totally better.
He looked around him and the room wasn't his.The room was cream colored and smelt of antiseptic.He suddenly felt a tearing pain in his leg.An absolutely horrid one.He swung his feet to the side and realized that one of them was in a cast.He grabbed a nearby crutch.Hopping on one foot, he went into the waiting area and there were his parents, at the counter filling up a couple of forms.
"Mom...Dad.."he called softly.His throat felt sore like there was cotton stuck in it.
His mother came running up to him when she heard his call.
She hugged him and whimpered softly."Oh Kaede....we were so worried."she cried.
"Yes, your mother and I were so worried for you,"His father added.He was calm as usual.
"What happened?"He asked when his mom let go of him.
"We're not really sure but someone called to tell us that she found you.She didn't leave a name though."His father said.
"Do you remember anything son?"His mother asked.
Rukawa shook his head."All i know is that it was raining hard last night and I fell off the cliff because my bike skidded.How could I have survived that?"
"We're not sure about that yet, Honey but the strangest thing was that when we found you, you were on the cliff.If someone had saved you then it would be impossible that you ended up back in the cliff because its way too high."his mother said.
Rukawa paused.He looked at his pale fingertips and looked down at the cast on his foot.H e remembered that he was supposed to have basketball practice that day.It looked to be his last game for a long while.
