Prologue
Warm bright light rippled over a polished wooden floor, the light was so bright that the rest of the room seemed to be filled with darkness. Crickets are heard outside muffled by the windows and walls, the sounds they made, they were soothing.
Near the middle of a room laid a bed which had a boy in it, tucked in without a singular worry. Despite his looks, he was actually quite old for a teenager, turning seventeen just the other day. His dark brown eyes were clear but were not seen as the boy was drifting quietly into his dreams with the occasional snoring.
In his delightful trance was him, the same boy sleeping, however he was in a classroom. The boy didn't recognize anyone though, their faces were there however like static they faded in and out, was he really seeing people or just a projection of them? He kind of knew he was in a dream but he rolled with it, although one person stood out to him, it was a girl, the boy's best friend.
There was no static around her, the boy seems to remember how she looked perfectly, she had hair as black as the eternal darkness in the night sky, with her fair colored skin. Some glances were thrown towards the girl from the boy, it was quite obvious he had feelings for her.
"Don't worry Kish, I'll be alright, Dexter knows what he's doing." the young girl exclaimed as she faded away. Kishimu remembered now, that girl, she was sent too far into the future, that scientist's stupid sister sent her way too far. She could have gone a hundred years or farther! Kishimu let out a sigh as he wished for her back, that was his best friend after all, and now she was gone.
Kishimu started to burst into tears like the sad and pathetic guy he was, he was dreaming after all so it didn't matter to him that people were watching. Now that he looked around, he realized that the room was empty, it felt empty without her, Rini. Kishimu wiped his tears and held out his hand to try to grab something out of the air where Rini disappeared, vanished, dimmed without a trace.
He woke up with his eyes a bit watery, Kishimu laughed it off a bit and decided to get out of his bed to get water. As he got out, his pajamas were revealed, just a grey t-shirt and some black and brown plaid pajama pants, and to top it off, yellow slippers! Kishimu looked down as his slippers and realized that he made a really wise decision buying them the other day, he was quite proud.
Yep, pretty good decision indeed, although they're already falling apart, a solid thousand taros were spent on them. Yep, great purchase, he thought.
Continuing on his journey to the kitchen, he slid his slippers across the wooden floor as he was tired and sluggish, Kishimu slapped himself across his face to awaken himself to finish the quest for H2O. Finally reaching the kitchen, he opened the refrigerator and gasped, there was no more water!
"Yeah I really shouldn't have bought these slippers." he remarked, and back to his bed he went. To his sweet cozy bed, he couldn't fall asleep, not because of the slap across his face, although it did sting, he couldn't sleep because of Rini, Kishimu hoped she was okay.
I'll leave my house one day and actually do something, he thought. I will make sure of it, that I will make the most of my days for her, and then maybe . . . perhaps . . . I'll find Rini again, I know it.
