Chapter 1: Childhood moments…
A small eight year old boy with short brown hair and grey eyes was playing a match against a girl the same age as him. The girl had long raven black hair tied into a high ponytail and gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. The girl was wearing a blue T-shirt and black skirt while the boy was wearing black shorts and a yellow T-shirt. Both of them were holding tennis rackets- the girl was holding a black and red racket while the boy was holding a dark-blue almost black racket.
As the girl returned the serve the boy gave her, she saw him move towards the net to return her shot. Smiling softly, she noted the way he followed the ball with his eyes. As he returned the ball, her eyes widened when she spotted him falling onto the ground while returning the ball.
"Kura-kun!!" the girl shouted, running over to the boy, worriedly. Stopping in front of him, she knelt down while letting go of the racket in her hand and letting it fall near his own, which had fallen down when he fell. As she did, he sat up looking at his injured left arm, which had got injured from the rocks on the ground when he tried to stop his fall by putting his arms on the ground.
His arm was bleeding quite badly but he didn't wince at all. Seeing the injury on her best friend's arm, the girl gently held his arm in her own. He watched as the girl, close to tears, pulled out her handkerchief and started to gently dab at his injury.
Sighing softly, Kuranosuke Shiraishi, or 'Kura-kun' as the girl liked to call him, pulled his arm away from the girl making her look at him with tear-filled eyes. Getting onto his knees so as to be closer to her, Shiraishi gently cupped the girl's heart-shaped face in his hands and said, "I'm fine, Kag-chan. It doesn't hurt."
Sniffing softly, the girl, Kagome Higurashi or as Shiraishi liked to call her 'Kag-chan', said, "But you're bleeding, Kura-kun."
He smiled softly at her and said, "I'll be fine, Kag-chan…." Before he could say anything else, Kagome smiled at him and pulled him up by his uninjured right hand. He looked at her in confusion to which she smiled and said, "Let's go to my house, Kura-kun. Mama will bandage up your hand for you." She said in a cute voice, making him smile in return.
He watched as she gently wrapped her handkerchief, as best she could, around his arm before picking up their rackets from the ground. Holding his right hand gently, she pulled him towards her house.
A few minutes later, they reached the fairly large house-like shrine where Kagome lived with her mother, Kunloon Higurashi, a lady in her mid-twenties with short dark brown hair and brown eyes, her grandpa, an elderly man who believed himself to be a priest, and her baby brother, Souta Higurashi, a three-year old with short brown hair and dark-blue almost black eyes.
Entering the well-decorated house, Kagome said, "Mama… Kura-kun got hurt…" The two of them walked towards the living room when they heard Kunloon say, "Take him to the living room, Kagome-chan. I'll be there soon with the first aid kit."
Sitting down on the couch, Kagome untied the already bloody handkerchief and gently started dabbing the wound with the clean part of the handkerchief, her small pink tongue poking out of the side of her mouth in her concentration. Shiraishi couldn't help but smile at the cute picture she was making. Now he was glad that Kagome's grandpa wasn't home or else he would start lecturing them about being careful while playing.
Both of them looked up when they heard the soft laughter of Kagome's mother, Kunloon, only to see her standing near the entrance to the room holding a white box with a red plus sign on its top. "That's very sweet of you Kagome-dear." Kunloon said to her daughter gently.
Walking over to the two children, she sat down on the couch next to Shiraishi and placed the first aid kit on her lap, "Why don't you sit down beside Shiraishi-kun, Kagome-chan? Holding his hand will stop it from paining him too much." She said to her daughter gently knowing how sweet her little Kagome was.
Kagome nodded vigorously and sat down next to Shiraishi, holding his right hand gently in her own. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze, making her look at him, smiling.
The two children turned to Kunloon as she gently started dabbing the still bleeding wound with a cotton ball. About five minutes later, Kunloon put the fourth blood-soaked cotton ball with the other three which she would put in the waste bin later. Pulling a white bandage out of the kit, she gently placed a sheet of cotton on the wound, which had stopped bleeding by now, and started wrapping the bandage around his lower arm.
Once that was done, she gently took the handkerchief from Kagome's hand and after kissing both children's foreheads, went to make them something to eat. As she did, Souta ran in and smiled wide seeing his sister and her friend. Kagome smiled and gently caught her younger brother in her arms and started cooing to him. As she did, Shiraishi couldn't help but smile at how cute Kagome was acting.
About an hour later, Kagome walked with Shiraishi and Kunloon to the door of their house. At said door, Shiraishi turned to Kagome and gently hugged her- his way of thanking her for caring so much about him. With a final wave, Kunloon took Shiraishi home, which was next door, where he thanked her and bowed.
As he watched Kunloon make her way back home, Shiraishi smiled and looked at his bandaged arm. He didn't know why but seeing how much Kagome seemed to care about him, made his heart feel warm. Looking at Kagome's house one more time, Shiraishi headed into his own house.
Four years later:
The now, twelve-year old Shiraishi was standing in front of the twelve-year old Kagome as she looked at the ground sadly. Shiraishi couldn't believe it. His best friend, his neighbor since childhood was leaving the country. He could see it in her eyes- she didn't want to leave. Her mother had a job transfer where she was being sent to America.
Seeing her so sad, he couldn't stand it. Stepping towards her, he gently wrapped his arms around her slender frame, which was covered by a white knee-length dress, in a gentle embrace. Pushing his nose in her soft hair, he gently ran his fingers through her waist long silky tresses.
He sighed softly when her shoulders started shaking, signaling to him that she was crying. He knew that she never cried- the last time she had cried was the day his left arm had got injured. Ever since then, he had kept his arm wrapped in a bandage to remind him of the day he had started feeling for her as more than friends.
Gently resting his chin on the top of her head of raven hair, he let her cry herself dry. As she cried, he kept running his fingers through her hair, knowing it would calm her. A few minutes later, he heard her sigh softly as she finished crying.
"We will meet again, Kago-chan" he said to her softly. She pulled back and looked up at him in surprise. He smiled at her and gently wiped the remaining tears from her face, loving the way she closed her eyes and leaned into his touch. He couldn't help himself from thinking that she looked beautiful, even with tears on her face.
Seeing the soft smile pull on her lips, he gently connected their foreheads, "I know you don't want to go, but you have to Kagome-chan." Nodding slightly, Kagome leaned all the way and gently rested the palms of her hands and the side of her face on his light blue shirt-clad chest.
Shiraishi gently wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back. She was the only girl outside family who he adored and would do anything for. Sighing gently, he pulled away from her and took her home.
The next day, they were at the airport, saying their goodbyes. Soon enough, the call for the boarding of the plane was heard, making all of them finish saying their goodbyes. Before Kagome could go, Shiraishi caught hold of her hand, making her look at him in question.
Smiling, he turned her around so that her back faced him. She gasped softly when she felt cold metal touch her neck. Looking down she saw a rose pendant on a thin silver chain placed around her neck. Once Shiraishi had finished fastening it securely, Kagome turned and hugged him, "Thank you, Kura-kun. It's beautiful" she said, voice full of emotions, both sadness at leaving him and joy at receiving such a beautiful gift easily heard in it.
He gently hugged her back and said, "I'll miss you Kago-chan. Now go before you miss your plane." Pulling away, Kagome smiled before leaning over to give him a soft peck on his cheek, "I'll miss you too. Do one thing for me would you, Kura-kun?"
At his questioning look, she continued, "Go to the nationals. Guide Shitenhouji to the nationals." At his nod, she smiled and after a final wave to him and his family, who were there with them, bidding the Higurashi family goodbye, ran all the way to the door. Before she went through the said door, though, she turned and gave him a final loving smile which made him a promise, 'I'll be back, Kura-kun. Please wait for me.'
