Chapter One: Breakup
XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoX
A lone teenager was walking down the sidewalk on this rather gloomy rainy day, the time was already around 3 to 4 in the afternoon; he had an umbrella, which he was using to cover himself from the rain. He and his co-workers had been dismissed early from their work for the day since the rain, which had started since that morning, had worsened throughout the day bringing about almost no customers to their store. His amethystine eyes looked ahead of him and he saw two figures a couple of meters away from him, and he immediately thought that he knew those people, he squinted his eyes trying to know the identity of the two people but the raindrops prevented him from seeing quite properly. However, from his point of view it looked as though the two people were talking to each other, the two then stopped abruptly and faced each other causing the lone teen to stop as well. The taller of the two, the one who was holding an umbrella that shielded both from the rain, planted his hands on his hips and spoke to the smaller one, although the onlooker wasn't able to hear his words. The smaller of the two appeared to be a brunet suddenly threw his hands into the air, as though he had lost his temper or something. The blonde, who was the taller, seemed to have retorted but regretted it and had pulled the other into a hug as though hoping that he would be forgiven for what he had just said. However, the brunet pushed himself away saying a couple of words, which our onlooker could hardly understand, and then he suddenly ran towards the lone teen.
As the runner came nearer to him, Shigeru finally saw who it was, it was none other than Kazuma, his co-worker. However, the brunet didn't seem to notice him and just ran past him but before he could do so his shoulder had accidentally collided with Shigeru's thus making the other lose balance and fall on the pavement. In the few milliseconds that had passed from when the brunet's shoulder had collided with his, Shigeru was able to see clearly his friend's face: it was all scrunched up and it depicted sadness as teardrops mixed with the raindrops fell on his cheeks. It was as though the image had suddenly burned itself into the pink-haired teen's mind that he could not simply just erase it at will; there was too much depression and hurt in the brunet's expression that it had somehow ignited a feeling that Shigeru was pretty sure he had locked up a long time ago. He looked up and saw the other one still standing where Kazuma had left, and he knew that it was none other than Kawachi. His hands balled into fists as he stood up determinedly and briskly walked to where the blonde stood, quite immobile.
"Kawachi-san." Shigeru said which had acted like a wake up call to Kawachi who had been just staring blankly into space; he didn't even notice that Shigeru had already come up to him.
"Kanmuri… I-Ah… What are you doing here?" the blonde asked randomly as he placed his free hand at the back of his neck.
"This is the way to my apartment. What happened?" Shigeru questioned with a rather unmistakable menace in his voice no matter how hard he had tried to suppress it.
"I-I don't know what you mean, Kanmuri…" Kawachi tried to lie but the younger artisan gave him a meaningful look such that he knew he just had to tell the truth. "You saw us didn't you… I-Well, it's a bit hard to explain but… Let's just say that my relationship with Azuma had been a bit rocky for a couple of weeks now… We got along very well as friends but somehow everything just… changed when he became my boyfriend… There were a lot of this and that's which caused us to quarrel quite a bit and…" Kawachi sighed. "We broke up…"
Those last three words had made a huge impact on the amethyst-eyed teen, "H-How could you just do that to him?!" too much anger was seeping through the teen that he didn't know how to control it anymore. Why was he so affected? It wasn't his relationship that was ended, so why did he care so much? What was he getting all angry about? But every time these questions came to him, the image of Kazuma crying just added to his anger.
Kawachi opened his mouth but no words came out so he just closed it again, his face showed full concentration as though he was trying to find the answer to the other's question. He opened his mouth to answer a couple more times but still not a sound was heard from him.
Kanmuri just tightened his hold on his umbrella, as though it was his outlet of whatever was burning up within him, he was already gripping it so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. Finally, he exhaled deeply as to relieve himself of the tension and turned his back to the blonde artisan. "I should've never entrusted him to you… That is the biggest mistake that I have made in my life, Kawachi-san, and now I'll make sure that it will never happen again…" Shigeru spoke rather coldly as his eyes narrowed down, this was all his fault if only he had given Kazuma proper advice from the beginning, this would never had happened. He had to apologize to the brunet… He then broke into a run, leaving the blonde alone once again, he had to find Kazuma even if it's the last thing he does… he just had to apologize…

A/N: I'm so sorry for my lack of update on my previous fic ('A Yakitate Fairytale?') and for not posting my supposed to be alternate fic, 'Zannen desu ne', it is for the reason that all the files/data that I have for those two fics are saved in my PC which was broken since MARCH '07… I've wanted to fix it since April but I have neither the money nor the ability to take it to a repair shop. Believe me; I'm trying all I can but its all to no avail… I also want to apologize for being such a wussy in the message that I posted in Yakitate Fairytale regarding the reason why I'm not posting anything…
So for now, it'll go like this: 'A Yakitate Fairytale?' and 'Zannen desu ne' are on temporary hiatus until my freaking computer gets fixed, and I'm starting on this new fic… Please note me on the OOCness of the characters, and any other mistake that I have made in this fic… I'm hoping that everyone would forgive me for my lack of updates and for the rather foul language that I have used in my message before… I was just too pressured then, that writing it down was my only outlet… So now that I'm writing fics again, I may be a bit more sober, I'll try to be a better writer this time around…
BTW, this fic is dedicated to all my friends! As well as everyone who have read my fics before...
