"Hey! Gene! Over here!" A boy with ruby-colored eyes waved and grinned as he and his cousin were waiting in the field for her.
"I'm coming, Ryu! Geez!" The girl with brown hair raced towards them panting heavily from her distance.
The cousin just smiled and shouted, "Come on, Gene! Faster!"
They were three kids. Three different stories. Three different tragedies. One was the adventurous and bold-minded child who was always so carefree and outgoing. The second was an energetic and caring girl who was always motherly and smiling. The last was a mischievous and teasing boy who loved to joke around with his mischief. They were childhood friends that could never set their friendships apart. Until that day...
"What was it, guys?" She started to look up at the boys with a slight smile that had burst with the sunlight.
They both raised their hands out to give her a dandelion with a chuckle, "This is for you Gene-chan..."
She blushed beet red and grabbed the flowers with a slow grip looking back and forth at them and the living organism that she had held once in her hand. What was she to do? She couldn't tell them about what was bound to happen. The chocolate brown-haired girl looked up at them with teary eyes and burst into tears.
"Gene? What's wrong?" The cousin with golden eyes had arrived to catch her fallen tears from the sudden occurrence, but still there was silence.
"Genevieve-chan?" The ruby-eyed boy started to question her.
She could only sniffle at the words of her name, "Y-You guys... don't understand..."
"What do you mean?"
"It's too complex... I'm sorry."
As soon as she started to run away, they had both grabbed her arms with a cold stare.
"Gene. What's wrong..."
She didn't know how to respond... the had to tell the truth somehow.
"Hina... Zaki..," her eyes started to water and pour down as the flow of the stream trailed her cheeks, "I-I must move to another... area..."
Hinata's golden eyes had started to widen and he realized that his grip on her had weakened, "W-What do you mean, Gene-chan?"
She couldn't look into their eyes anymore. She never wanted anyone to get hurt because of her. Ryuzaki and Hinata both looked at her with shock and surprise. Genevieve couldn't take the pressure anymore from their piercing eyes into her helpless soul and ran away without anymore words to tell them.
Genevieve had awoken to the sounds of screams and cries of many people, then slid her wooden door open to take a glance at the noises that occurred out of her backyard. Her stomach churned as she took plenty more steps into the hallway as a bad feeling had pinned her to believe that something was terribly wrong. Once she had gotten outside, four people had floated above the pond. Gene's eyes had started to grow wide to the shock... her parents... Satoshi-san's parents... they were just scattered everywhere among the one place she had thought to be once beautiful, now filled with the blood red liquid of the ones she respected... and loved most..
"M-Mother?! F-Father?! Ms. Satoshi?! Satoshi-sensei?!" She started to pick up her mother's body slowly, "Mama... please... please, please! Who did this?! W-Who?!"
Genevieve had known it was too late to have one she loved respond now since she was dead. Thunder roared even louder around her, she raised her hand and lightning appeared to shock the water. No pain. She really didn't mind whatsoever. All she could do was cry into her murdered mother's chest and wail out for her to survive. All little did she know the hope she had inside, had now been bottled up forever. A boy had hidden himself outside of the perimeter with a bloody knife behind his back, but could still hear her screams of heartache. He couldn't help it, but just cry along with her as the tears stroke his face...
Later when she was removed from the hospital of shock, she had stayed with the Shaoran family because they were the only ones that allowed for her care. Her smile had turned into a frown. She didn't even know what to do in life anymore. Genevieve's cheerfulness had faded away and she changed forever.
She never ate, slept, or smiled... she had always stayed in bed wondering if her parents and Satoshi-san's parents had enjoyed the eternal life of heaven.
"Ryu... will she be okay?" Hinata had asked at the dinner table when he and Ryuzaki were the only ones there.
"..." Ryu sat there in silence while eating his rice.
"I know that she had recently.. lost her parents... but I'm worried about her happiness..."
No one knew how to cure her happiness, but as time progressed, so did she.
Genevieve was twelve and a half, Ryuzaki was fourteen, and Hinata was thirteen as of two years ago. One day, it was an annual festival where everywhere in the country had agreed to host one called, 'The Moonlit Luck Festival'.
"Gene! Come on! Let's go!" Ryu pulled her hand down the street and had made it towards the sidewalk in a couple of minutes.
"What's the rush, Zaki-kun?" She had pouted as she looked at him.
"Because-!"
"H-Hey! Wait up, guys!" Hinata ran down the road with only spare minutes till the sign had reached to stop crossing... It was the biggest mistake he could ever make.
Ryuzaki could only see the truck coming towards Hinata at full speed without stopping and could feel the grasp from Genevieve's hand slip away as she's running towards Hinata. With a push of her strength to move Hinata out of the way, her body had hit the front of the truck and everything had stopped. Everything. So much for luck.
Hinata and Ryuzaki had rushed into the ER to find her awake and alive with the doctors allowing for them to trespass. She could only blink at them and raise an eyebrow.
"Genevieve! Are you alright?!" Hinata hugged her and sniffled.
Gene had stayed quiet for a while now and reply in the strangest way, "Do..I know you two?"
Hinata kept on saying his apologizes while Ryu was in shock by her response... There was no way. She couldn't have.. but she did. Amnesia.
Now that Hinata and Ryuzaki had stepped out of the hospital, they began talking about their secrets... one thing that Hinata didn't know was.. Ryu himself.
"Hinata. I'm sorry.." He locked his eyes upon Hinata's and a red glow appeared to hypnotize his vision... to hide his biggest burden of them all.
