Chapter Ichi

--

Watanuki gradually became aware of his surroundings, all of which was a pitch darkness. He slowly stood, trying to place his feet as firmly as possible on the undefinable ground. He began to turn his head, eyes searching for some sort of image which would trigger recognition for where he was. White haze seemed to be coming from the opposite direction from where he stood. He quickly turned and instantly regretted it due to the nausea it created in the pit of his stomach. Once he had a firm hold on his internal organs he began to search the bright tint in the distance. The unsure boy finally could determine the outline of a tall, short-haired, broad shouldered figure within the only brightness around him. Watanuki tried to reach out to the figure, a futile attempt considering they where several yards apart, a distance which was growing while the being continued to walk further away into the light.

Watanuki's heart clenched as he realized he could not reach the figure, and he took several steps forward, causing a white shadow to be cast behind him. With every step the shadow grew longer until Watanuki's reflected head could no longer be seen. Watanuki turned in dismay, observing the unusual shadow, but then quickly turned back to the slimming figure in the distance.

Watanuki's body started to shake, he did not want that person to leave, no matter what he wanted that person there with him through all this darkness. He opened his mouth in an attempt to speak, but instead tears rolled down his face.

"Ma- Matte!" His voice echoed through the void. "Onegai, Matte!" The figure continued to walk into the distance. Watanuki fell to his knees, his face in his hands, trying to console his sobs.

He finally looked up again, just as the figure disappeared into the whiteness. Watanuki's heart stopped. He quickly stood and started sprinting toward where the figure had been only seconds ago, but the white haze had dissipated and he continued to run towards darkness. In a desperate attempt Watanuki shouted in his hopelessness, directing it at the lost person.

"Doumeki! Doumeki come back, Doume-" He was stopped by a hand that was gently placed on his shoulder, he turned in surprise, tears being whipped off his cheeks mid-roll. "Yuko...san." Yuko's form had partially erupted from the now fragmented shadow, the hem of her flowing kimono blending into the whiteness. She closed her eyes and shook her head, her gentle hand pulling Watanuki closer to herself. She whispered into his left ear, "Wake up." Her sensual tone caused Watanuki to close his eyes as he fell back to the uncertain ground, his eyelids no different from the world he was just observing.
