Ohayo, Mizuno!
Disclaimer: I don't own Konjiki no Gash Bell
Spoilers: None. I made up the stuff with Zeon cause he's so darn cool.
Note: Suzume is cool. Don't diss her.
Takamine Kiyomaro pulled on his school shirt slowly, looking at the spot on his table that was the only place that was uncovered. One month, one month since Gash defeated Zeon and was crowned king of his kind. One month since he and Kiyomaro said goodbye.
It had been hard for Kiyomaro, and the story for everyone else to know was that Gash disappeared. Kiyomaro would say this, his heart sinking lower each time.
Kiyomaro was not alone though. Every day, he and Mizuno Suzume, his close and first friend, would walk to and from school, and would talk at lunch. However, this was not a recent activity. No, ever since Tio, Kyanchome, and the rest had fallen, thier partners had seemingly forgotten about everything but the greif of losing thier partner. It was sad, to Kiyomaro, to see such strong people fall apart so quickly.
But just as Kiyomaro was cracking, Suzume walked over to him and asked him if he could help her solve some math problems. Kiyomaro's tears stopped before they could fall, and he laughed. She laughed, and he was at peace.
Kiyomaro had always been confused with Suzume, and how he felt about her. First, she was the girl who shared her lunch with him in kindergarden, when he forgot his. Then, they lost touch. But then, one day, after he believed everyone hated him, she came over and asked for help with some history homework.
First, Suzume was an annoying ditz with no intelligence. But after Gash appeared, almost in a day, she was his best human friend. She was a fun person, even if she was a bit clutzy and always needed help with homework. But, during the latter part of the war, where almost no one was left, Kiyomaro's views changed when he saw her sitting on a bench, the sunset behind her, her hair flowing with the wind.
Kiyomaro then saw her as a beautiful girl, and in times of peace, when he wasn't worrying that Burago, Bali, or Zeon might show up to finish off Gash, he thought about Suzume.
However, Suzume, who had always had feelings for Kiyomaro, did not know of Kiyomaro's change of heart. And today, Kiyomaro was going to tell her.
Kiyomaro pulled on his pants and picked up his school bag. He went down the stairs, preparing for a big change in his life. One that would probably be the second greatest one of his life. The first being, of course, meeting the demon child named Gash Bell who now was king.
Kiyomaro walked down the stairs, eyeing a Vulcan 300 made to look like Professor Dartagnan that was attatched to the cieling. Gash and Tio had made it, only a week before Tio was lost at the hands of Zeon.
Kiyomaro reached for the doorhandle, and twisted it open. Leaning against Umagon's old dog house, was none other that Suzume. Her smile made Kiyomaro's insides flutter.
"Takamine-kun!"
"Ohayo, Mizuno."
