Aisaka Taiga:
Five years. I had been gone for five years. I didn't run away. Thats what I tell myself. I can only hope that they dont think so.
I walked the familiar and nostalgic path to my apartment. The same apartment I had lived in all those years ago.
Aiya it said. That was my new name here. Everywhere. It was part of my father's name as well as my step fathers. My
StepFather who treated me like his own.
Nobody recognised me as I walked alone on the quiet road. My stuff was already in my apartment. Everything awaiting my arrival.
I had changed. I had matured into a young woman who, at the age of 22, was finatially secure and had a thriving buisness.
Tally Aiya. " Ta" for my name and "lly" for the word "Lie". It was so because it was a lie about my identity. I had physically changed too.
I was no longer a short, flat-chested girl with a childish face. I was taller and had a nicely filled out chest, with white blond hair that was cut at my waist.
Staying in California took a toll on me. The sun had bleached my hair and tanned my skin.
My Mother and Step Father had moved there a week after I had left. That was a reason I had left. My Mother had left me a message that she
wanted me to come with her. I remember how hysterical she sounded in that message, and truely, i wanted my Mother back. I loved her secretly and
I wanted her. In California would be too far away. So, I left. I had a happy life in California. I forgot everyone. Including Ryuuji. I forgot my promise, I
forgot my past. Willlingly, I threw it all away and settled in.
But I'm back. The PalmTop Tiger is back.
Kawashima Ami:
I had met her at a coffee shop. When I saw her I thought to myself 'Aisaka-san?'. I smiled and ran to her, enveloping her into a hug.
It was then, I saw the blank look on her face.
*(FLASHBACK)*
I walked into the coffee shop, bored as can be and got into the ridiculously long line. I sighed at myself, wiping my eyes with my hands,
trying to wake myself up before I crashed into something. I was in Chicago for a long photo shoot. The Christmas holidays made everything so white out here.
Anyways, I finally got to the counter and ordered my coffee, smiling as I thought of what Taiga would say. "Stupid Chihuahua" I thought. I had actually bought one.
A dog, I mean. Just to remind me of her. Everyone back home missed her. Expscially Takasu-kun. He was depressed and was moaking an effort finally to pick up his life.
He went to collage a year after she had left and was head of an eco company.
I heard my name called and grabbed my hot beverage. Then I heared another. "Aisaka" the barista's voice rang-out clear. I almost dropped my coffee right there.
A very tan and lean girl came and got her drink. I stood there looking stupid. "Thank you" she whispered and left. I followed her. Running, leaving my coffee there, I ran after her.
I enveloped her in a strong hug. "TAIGA!" I screamed, tears of joy on my face. I looked at her and saw her blank face. "Do I know you?" She asked. I was crushed.
"Yes! Dont you remember me? Ami-chan? Your Stupid Chihuahua? Don't you remember?" I cried. Her face was still blank, until recognition slowly creeped in.
"Ami-chan?" she whispered. "YES!" I clung to her.
*(FLASHBACK END)*
Now that I remember our incounter, I recall what she whispered after my name. "Ryuuji" . Over time, we met up in coffee shops and planned shopping sprees. We were
closer than ever. Over Three months I finally built up the courage to ask her to come back with me.
*(FLASHBACK)*
I walked to the same coffee shop I had first seen Taiga, a fake smile plastered on my face. I sat across from her where she was stairing out the window. " Whats wrong" She asked
in her quiet, whisper-like voice; one of the many things that I missed about her old self. "Who? Me? Ahh, nothing." I said shakily. "Tell me." she demanded in her powerfully quiet way.
I sighed. " I'm leaving in two weeks," She raised an eyebrow, " Minorin contacted me and... " I saw her blank face. Her resevre, even thjough I had brought up her former best friend.
" Ryuuji is sick. He fell into a bad depression. I'm sorry." I muttered. Her face flashed a moment until her emotions were contained once more. " So they're together now? I figured it
would happen" She shrugged indifferently. My jaw flew open. " Minori and Ryuuji? N..No! Ryuuji hasn't dated another girl since you left! How could you say such a thing!" I stuttered
out in horror. "ahh..., " She whispered, " that Baka. It sounded like it though. Minori, telling you how her boyfriend is? Or husband. Hmmm... it sound perfect." I starred at her like
she had three heads. " N...N...NO. Another reason I'm... nervous is... because.. because I told Kitamura-kun about you." Her face flashed in fury again before being put perfectly back
into place. These were touchey subjects to her. " And what did he say? Amin, did he beg you to bring me back? I'm not ready." She whispered in retort. I recoiled. "Y...Yes." I breathed
out. She sighed. "Fine. I shall go. I was going to send an employee to handle matters there next month but I can go in her stead." She nodded at me and rose out of her chair.
Leaving me there gapping at having our PalmTop Tiger back finally.
*(FLASHBACK END)*
Five years. The PalmTop Tiger is back.
